Certifying Engineer
Dear Mr. Morgan;
Based on my review of the requirements for the roof material and
the "Appearance Ordinance" of the City Cape Canaveral the Client
and I are submitting the following specification for you
concurrence.
1. The roof material is being changed to match the
existing "thatch" covering found on several other
elements constructed on this property. In accordance
with the fire code, this must be sprayed with a fire
retardent coating and resprayed annually.
2. The coating is to be "Ocean 441 Clear" fire resistant
coating for shakes and shingles;#R-0441 as manufactured
by " Ocean Coatings".
In response to your request, I looked up the code related
dimensions for setbacks between buildings on the same site.
Based on the type of construction and the "Fire District"
question; Table 600 of SBCI creates a judgement call, which we
discussed. Therefore, with your concurrence we will establish
the distance between overhangs at 30' and between walls at 40'
for the shed construction permit we have requested. To
facilitate this the client has reduced the structure in length by
one bay , or 12'..

JUNGLE VILLAGE GO CART SHED 2 8/26/91
Also I hereby certify that by this letter, bearing my signature
and seal, this structure is designed in conformance with the
current 89-90 Edition of the SBCI Code, chapter 1205.2a. For
this site the windload requirement for buildings 0-15 feet high,
is 25 psf for 110 mph wind condition sd modified by the required
shape and exposure factors. In case this structure were to be
inclosed; the more stringent load factors were used to determine
the components and connections.
I trust this submission fulfills the requirements for a
Certificate from a Professional Engineer as required. Please
contact me at (407) 799-2502 if any further data is required.
Respectfully submitted,
`L
