The Article on Fire Sprinkler System Retrofitting and waiver has been quite poorly researched, and is inaccurate and misleading. The Book/Page number requested on the form from the "Division" has nothing whatsoever to do with the Association's Articles of Incorporation, but is the Book/Page number of the Certificate which must be recorded with the Clerk of County Court attesting to the "opt-out" vote. High-rise buildings (excess of 75 feet to highest occupyable floor) were unable to forego retrofitting in common areas before the Section 718.112(2)(l) was amended in 2010. This provision was removed. The height provision for retrofitting handrails and guardrails (75 feet) remains in 718.1085 F.S. and was to take effect on January 1st, 2014. Even the Fire Marshall in Tallahassee is uncertain as to the present requirements of retrofitting under Statute. Beware of publishing inaccuracies by well meaning readers, as it detracts from the credibility of your publication, and does no favors for interested residents.
To start with let me say that a anonymous posting is not worth anything as far as credibility is concerned. If you have an a opinion that must be printed, sign it, own it. Now as far as your opinion on the new fire sprinkler law. Please note there are 2 other opinions out there. There is Dave Israels and there is Ed Grossman's.
Hi Gary, The validity of a posting should be judged by factual content, well reasoned and well researched, and not by the name placed on the name signed to it. Too often in this Village, people spend more time complaining instead of contributing. There is no substitute for critical thinking, and it's never to late to begin developing it Gary.
