2) Clarify what is being installed as part of this shell. The electrical plan clearly indicates dark shaded walls and the central corridor. The life safety plan indicates very faint, the walls and corridor. Are the walls and corridor on the second plan part of this permit? If yes, darken them. If not, indicate this on all plans or remove.
12/8/2023- ABC: Response: "2nd floor layout is conceptual design only. Actual design will be submitted wit build out plans. Please see scope of work note on Sheet T1.0 Rev.1."
**Note is located on Sheet T1.0

3) Related to comment 2, what is the design intent for egress from the second floor. The second floor stair is not indicated to be enclosed currently. Is the intent to have a 1 hour rated corridor connect the rated stair across to the outside door leading to the outside stair essentially considering the entire corridor as an exit enclosure or exit passageway leading to the exits? If yes this must all be indicated and installed now as part of the shell. If not, the stair will need to be fully enclosed with a rated enclosure and rated door, because the common path cannot be met from the second floor if the interior stair is not fully enclosed becoming an exit access stair. It would need to be an exit which is required to be enclosed (rated). NFPA 101:38.2.4.1, 38.2.4.2. and 7.2.2.5.1.1 Clarify and demonstrate your design intent.
12/8/2023- ABC: Response: "Floor plan layout has been revised at the elevator and stair area to show separate foyer and elevator lobby. Please see sheets LS1.0, LS2.0, A1.0, A1.2, A1.4C,A1.5D, A3.0, M1.0 on Rev.1"

4) Regardless of how the second floor egress is intended per comments 2 and 3, elevators are not permitted in exit enclosures. NFPA 101:7.1.3.2.

10) This building is required to have a third party contractor conduct a two-way radio communication test in accordance with NFPA 1:11.10 and NFPA 1225 (2022 ED.) before the 105 framing inspection. St Johns County Fire Rescue’s radio control frequency is 853.8875.
-If it passes the inspection radio testing, you will need to submit a copy of the testing results as a revision so we can record the documentation and remove the hold.
- If the third party paperwork indicates the test is not satisfactory, then the contractor will have to submit for a revision. The revision will need to include: the unsatisfactory test paperwork, outline of corrective measures, and plans to illustrate the corrective measures to meet requirements provided by the design professional.
At the final, you will be required to provide satisfactory testing by the third party contractor following the installation of the in building radio enhancement system.
