Review and make recommendation to the
Commission regarding: DS2014-135,
petitioned by Michael Ippolito, P.E. Petitioner,
Michael Ippolito, presented the basis for his request for Declaratory
statement regarding possible discrepancies between two sections of the
Florida Building Code (i.e., FBC, Building Section 423.15.5 and FBC,
Mechanical Section 403.3). After
lengthy discussion it was determined the petition has no particular facts and
circumstances and calls for a statement of general applicability to which
these sections could be applied. Based
on that information, Frank Frail made the motion, seconded by Charlie Frank,
to deny this request for declaratory statement due to general applicability and
provided the petitioner with several options to attempt an answer to the
questions in a better format. |
