I have reviewed the attachment plan and have <br /> determined that the roof mounted PV system is in compliance with the applicable sections of the <br /> following Codes as amended and adopted by the jurisdiction: <br /> 2017 Florida Building Code 6tn Edition, FBC <br /> ASCE 7 Min. Design Loads for Buildings&Other Structures <br /> Per 2017 FBC,the Roof Mounted PV system will be subject to the following design criteria: <br /> Design Wind Speed(V„it) - 160mph 3sec gust, Exposure Category-C <br /> The PV System consist of the modules, railing, and connection hardware.The system will add a <br /> dead load of approximately 3 psf to the roof. <br /> The existing roof covering is Asphalt Shingle with min. l/a" plywood decking and 2"x 4"roof trusses <br /> 24" O.C. The roofing, decking,and roof trusses are in good condition.The existing structure will be <br /> adequate for supporting the additional PV dead load and wind loads. <br /> i <br /> The securement method of the PV system is to be flush mounted to the asphalt shingle roof with the <br /> Ironridge railing and flashings/attachments.The attachments can be attached up to 72" apart.The <br /> mounts should be staggered,where possible,to allow distribution of the design loads evenly to the <br /> structure.The mounts shall be installed with a min. 5/16" lag screw with minimum 2-5/16"thread <br /> length. <br /> i <br /> 11111J/// <br /> Please see attached documents and contact me should you have any que�t+i�i�sl. <br /> Sincerely, .Z� ® -'%CEAIS••O �i�� <br /> D.
