[Florida Code Talk] ICF Walls (Termite Prevention)

Hello All,
 
I'm looking at a set of plans for building constructed of ICF walls.
Wall sections indicate that foam on outside of building will be less
than 6 inches from grade and will be covered with synthetic finish (e.g.
Dryvit).  In some areas foam will extend below grade.  Are the ICF walls
required to comply with section 2603.8 of the FBCB, more specifically
clearances between earth and foam?  Feedback will be much appreciated.
Please let me know if you need additional information or clarification
in order to reply.  Thanks.
 
Rob Harrell
 
 
(NOTE: Designer has classified the building as Type IIB, but technically
building is VB based on construction drawings.)
