NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Florida Building Commission has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Mr. Mark S. Speckin, on behalf of SPX Cooling Technologies, Inc. on September 12, 2007. The following is a summary of the agency’s disposition of the petition:

It was assigned the number DCA07-DEC-183. The Commission determined that the Florida Building Code (2007 as amended) requires the mechanical equipment and supports being replaced during a level 1 alteration to meet the wind design criteria of the current code, not the code in effect when the building was originally constructed, and that the new mechanical equipment must be designed for wind forces for both the structure and anchorage of mechanical equipment as specified in the code in effect at the time that application is made for a permit for the alteration.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Paula P. Ford, Commission Clerk, Department of Community Affairs, 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2100.
