	FROM: JAMES E. BRANCA, SR., BATTALION CHIEF, FIRE
	MARSHAL
	DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 2019
	RE: KOSAN CRISPLANT PROPANE FACILITY, PERMIT# 19100606
	I HAVE REVIEWED THESE PLANS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
	FLORIDA FIRE PREVENTION CODE, 6TH EDITION, WHICH
	INCLUDES PUBLICATIONS REFERENCED IN NFPA 1, AND 101.
	ALL REFERENCES TO NFPA 1, AND NFPA 101 ARE OF THE
	FLORIDA SPECIFIC EDITIONS.
	IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FLORIDA FIRE PREVENTION CODE
	THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A HIGH-HAZARD INDUSTRIAL
	OCCUPANCY (WITH A POSSIBLE STORAGE OCCUPANCY), AND A
	BUSINESS OCCUPANCY SEPARATED WITH A 2-HOUR FIRE
	BARRIER. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT SPECIFY THE ASSOCIATED
	HAZARDS OR THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE FACILITY REGARDING
	PROPANE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 58, IS
	THIS CONSIDERED A UTILITY LP-GAS PLANT, BULK PLANT,
	INDUSTRIAL PLANT, DISPENSING STATION, ETC.? THIS
	INFORMATION WILL HELP TO APPROPRIATELY APPLY THE CODE.
	I AM UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE REVIEW DUE TO THE
	FOLLOWING:
	1. NEED TO SPECIFY THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE FACILITY
	AND THE SCOPE OF OPERATION REGARDING PROPANE.
	2. PROVIDE A SITE PLAN. THE SITE PLAN MUST DEMONSTRATE:
	• PROVISIONS FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS (NFPA 1,
	SECTION 18.2).
	• AN ADEQUATE FIRE FLOW. THE REQUIRED FIRE FLOW FOR
	THIS PROJECT IS 1750 GPM FOR A DURATION OF 2 HOURS (SEE
	NFPA 1, TABLE 18.4.5.2.1). CURRENTLY THE PLANS SHOW AN
	EXISTING FIRE HYDRANT LOCATED AT 11751 TWITTY RD.
	PROVIDING 520 GPM FLOW AT 60 PSI. THE CODE HAS
	PROVISIONS WHERE THE REQUIRED FLOW RATE CAN POSSIBLY BE
	MODIFIED (SEE NFPA 1, 18.4.3 AND 18.4.5.3). THOSE
	PROVISIONS MAY BE CONSIDERED WHEN PLANS FOR FIRE
	PROTECTION ARE SUBMITTED.
	• LOCATION OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED FIRE HYDRANTS.
	INCLUDE FLOW DATA.
	• LOCATIONS, SIZES, AND TYPES OF CONTAINERS. INCLUDE
	PROPERTY LINES, AND IMPORTANT BUILDINGS (NFPA 58,
	CHAPTER 6).
	3. PROVIDE A FIRE PROTECTION PLAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH
	NFPA 58, SECTION 6.27.
	4. PROVIDE DETAILED INFORMATION DEMONSTRATING
	COMPLIANCE WITH NFPA 30 AND 33 FOR THE PAINTING CABIN
	AND THE ASSOCIATED FLAMMABLE LIQUID STORAGE.
	5. PROVIDE SPECIFICATION SHEETS AND INSTALLATION
	DETAILS FOR FIRE DOOR “125”.
	6. EGRESS DOOR “123” NEEDS PANIC HARDWARE.
	7. THE EXIT IN THE RECEIVING ROOM TRAVERSES THE
	BUSINESS OCCUPANCY, THUS MAKING THIS A MIXED OCCUPANCY
	INSTEAD OF A SEPARATED OCCUPANCY. TO REMAIN A SEPARATED
	OCCUPANCY, YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE EXIT SIGN THAT
	LEADS INTO THE BREAKROOM AND PROVIDE AN EXIT WHICH IS
	INDEPENDENT OF THE BUSINESS OCCUPANCY. (NFPA 101,
	SECTION 6.1.14.1.2)
	8. SEPARATE PERMITS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE
	INSTALLATION OF ALL APPLICABLE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS
	INCLUDING:
	• FIRE ALARM
	• FLAMMABLE LIQUID STORAGE
	• FLAMMABLE LIQUID SPRAY BOOTH
	• ANY WATER BASED FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS.
	9. PROVIDE THE BUILDINGS ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT ON THE
	BUILDING EXTERIOR NEAR THE SERVICE ENTRANCE. (NFPA 1,
	SECTION11.1.7)
	I AM RETAINING ONE COPY OF THE PLANS IN MY OFFICE TO
	ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE.
	PLEASE HAVE THE APPLICANT ADDRESS THESE ISSUES PRIOR TO
	PERMITTING
