Exit Path

I hate bullies that make stuff up.

Is there a local appeals bord to go to? It looks like they are requiring as part of their enforcement program if that is the case you should be able to ask for a declatory statement from the State Fire Marshals Office

And to back up that position, the chief calls out LS 36.2.5.6 that says in a Class A mercantile occupancy not less than one aisle 60" minimum width shall lead directly to an exit. So there, chapter and verse, case closed. America made safer.

Must be a national account in some wooded central Florida area??

I use to love that ability but never abused it like demonstrated in this example. Guess it's the cost of doing business now in the sunshine state. If it were my client, we would drive up to Ocala.

Florida doesn't have local appeals. Last I recall, you can have it reviewed by BOAF and then the Florida Commission for a Declaration.

BOAF used to be pretty good, but they began getting a bit drunk on power when they became the official source of non-binding interpretations - cut off non-members from their listserve and stuff like that - might seem a bit familiar to some people.

I think they have a great idea about delineating the exit path but it's not in the code. I'd rather write the tickets and have them explain it to the judge...
