The rule modifies the methods for incorporating gable end bracing, enhanced roof to wall connections and secondary water barriers in existing buildings. The rule also clarifies those provisions of the manual that specify the circumstances in which shutters, enhanced roof to wall connections, and secondary water barriers are required as an element of permitted work as directed by the Legislature. The Florida Building Commission has determined that this rule is to be adopted without a Rule Development Workshop based on the immediate public need for the relief afforded by the clarifications and modifications, the nature of the action as being one primarily clarifying the Commission’s intent with regard to the initial adoption of the rule, and the fact that the action has been discussed at two noticed public meetings, The Commission’s telephonic meeting of January 8, 2008, and the meeting of the Hurricane Mitigation Work Group on December 12, 2007.
