1609.2 Definitions. Change the text of the following terms to read as shown:

WIND-BORNE DEBRIS REGION.

1. Areas within one mile (1.6 km) of the coastal mean high water line where the basic wind speed is 110 mph (49 m/s) or greater.

2. Areas where the basic wind speed is 120 mph (53 m/s) or greater except from the eastern border of Franklin County to the Florida-Alabama line where the region includes areas where design to 130mph or higher wind speeds is required and areas within 1500 feet of the coastal mean high water line.

Portions of hurricane- prone regions that are within 1 mile (1.61 km) of the coastal mean high water line where the basic wind speed is 110 mph (48 m/s) or greater; or portions of hurricane-prone regions where the basic wind speed is 120 mph (53 m/s) or greater; or Hawaii.

The Hawaii probably will not be interested in implementing Florida Building Code and the Florida State has no jurisdiction over Hawaii.

Then it will make a sense not to use words “or Hawaii”.

Sincerely,

A. Alexander

Building Inspector.
