NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Florida Building Commission has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by the City of Winter Park on April 30, 2018. The following is a summary of the agency’s disposition of the petition:
Petitioner requested an answer to the following questions based upon the project described within its petition: 1. Is “indicating that the building passes the performance matrix” (referenced in R405.4.2.2 Item 3) the same task as confirming the as-proposed design from R405.3 (referenced in R405.4.2.2 Item 2)? 2. Can the paperwork (as printed out from Florida Building Commission approved software) submitted for R405.4.2.1 also be used to meet R405.4.2.2? 3. If there is no change to the proposed design during the course of the construction and all required inspections to verify compliance are performed, is there a need for the building department to request the as-built compliance report per Section 405.4.2.2 prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy? 4. If there are changes to the proposed design during the course of construction and the compliance report is amended, and submitted for review and approval prior to conducting the required inspections, is there a need for the building department to request the as-built compliance report per Section 405.4.2.2 prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy?
On July 27, 2018, the Commission provided the following answers: In response to Petitioner’s question 1, the answer is yes.
