Pierce, Florida 34982 Re: Permit Revisionsand Extension # SLC-0412-0354 Grace Emmanuel Church 707 Kitterman Road, Port St. Lucie To Whom it may, Concern: 1 respectfully, request an extension for Building Permit # SLC-0412-0354, issued to Stewardship Services for the construction of a new Church Building.located•at 707 Kitterman Road. The attached Application for Building Permit Revision is for the addition of one 23'4" bay to the sanctuary fora total of 1,633.3 sf. . The delay for this request is due to the difficulty in obtaining a commitment from the City of Port St. Lucie Water -Department, for service to the building. Without this commitment we could not occupy the building since the expense of providing water for the Fire Sprinkler System was prohibitive. In addition we should soon obtain approval, from the county for'the modified site plan required because of the additional sanctuary seating provided by;the.building addition. ' Even though the original permit was issued under the 2001 FBC, we have made special care -to keep the building in compliance with the current codes as they have been issued. Consequently the facility adheres to all aspects of the 2007 FBC with addendums. This addition requires no modification to the, electrical or mechanical systems since they were originally', 'designed to include phase two and phase three shown on the original permit drawings. ; We have determined that there may be'a future need to add -two three.ton•ainconditioning units to the stage/chancel area of the sanctuary. We have roughed in the ductwork under the stage, which was inspected by the countyprior.to,being covered with the stage floor. When or if the decision is made to'add these units we will take out a separate permit for their installation. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
