RE: Personal Aircraft Hanger for Craig & Thea Yates (Project No. 161101873)
12352 Cessna Terrace, Port St. Lucie FL 34986
I am writing to clarify the building use indicated on my certified structural design drawings for this
subject project. Morton Building, Inc. contracted Allied Design A&E Group to provide building
structural plans for the subject building. It was my understanding that this building was sold as a
“Suburban – Personal Airplane Hanger” for the storage of Mr. and Mrs. Yates’ personal RV and aircraft
and that this building was located near a private use air field located among several different personal
residences with similar hangers storing other personal use aircraft.
I provided certified structural plans on 12/14/2020 on which I indicated a group U use group. In my
opinion, a Group U use group was the most applicable use group given the following facts:
- The building meets Group III Classification per FBC 2020 Table 412.4.6 and NFPA 409
- This building is a hanger for personal use aircraft only (ie. not for public use)
After reviewing the certified plans dated 12/14/2020, the county plans examiner provided comments,
dated 1/27/2021, that indicated disagreement with the Use Group U classification. After a short phone
conversation with the plans examiner, he directed that the building should be classified as a Use Group
S-1 and I provided re-certified plans, dated 2/18/2021, indicating as such.
In my opinion, the change in use from a U to S-1 does not change the fact that this building is still for
private use only nor did it require a change in the structural design of this building.
If there is any additional clarification needed, please do not hesitate to contact me to.
