RE: Hibiscus I, 3870 A1A, Ft. Pierce FL
Garage Door Replacement, East Garage Building
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is written to address the interpretation of the wind speed at the above referenced building. I
understand the wind speed may be interpreted.as Vult = 161 MPH, based on St. Lucie County wind
speed maps. The wind speed used in the design was Vult =160 MPH. The difference between the two
wind speeds is negligible and the Wayne Dalton doors referenced in my letter dated March 17, 2014 are
adequate for Vult = 161 MPH.
Please contact me if you need additional information.
Sincerely:

RE: Wayne -Dalton Model 8700 Windload Option Code 1002 and Low Head Room Track
Wayne -Dalton Quote 1795349, 'Hibiscus Condominium Building #1'
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter concerns the Florida Building Code (FBC) Windload Approvals that Wayne -Dalton, A Division of Overhead Door
Corporation, has for the Model 8700 residential garage door (FL-12099). The FBC Approvals for Wayne -Dalton residential
garage doors can be viewed at: www.floridabuilding.oro. The Model 8700 is approved per FL-12099. The garage door
sections are made with PVC exterior substrates and interior substrates with polyurethane foamed -in -place insulation, for a
unitized body construction and superior corrosion resistance.
The Wayne -Dalton FBC approval (FL-12099) for our Model 8700 door includes 'Standard Lift' garage door track. This
windload certification does not list'Low Head Room' track since the 8700 windload door testing was not conducted with
'Low Head Room' track. Low Head Room track is a standard option for the 8700 door, and is listed with several other
Wayne -Dalton Models per FBC approvals FL-8248, FL-9166, and FL-9174, including Wayne -Dalton Models 8000, 8024,
and 9100. The Model 8700 door uses the same construction of Low Head Room track as these other Wayne -Dalton
Models, and it is my judgment that Model 8700 Windload Doors per Option Code 1002 will meet the same windload
performance with Low Head Room track, as it does with Standard Lift track, to withstand Design Pressures of+41.0 /-46.3,
per Wayne -Dalton Quote 1795349.
