Gall (4 units) APPEARANCE : John Gall SUBJECT: Appellant is requesting a variance on the requirement of having to provide one hour fire rated ceilings for laundry room and furnace room.

Mr. Gall submitted some plans and requested that he and the City work very closely with his plans and the plans were semi approved. During the construction an inspector would re-inspect. The inspector at that time noticed there was about 2 1 /2" to 2 3/4" of flooring above the joist. The Inspector at that time stated that this would meet the one hour fire rating, therefore, there was no need for 5/8" sheetrock on the ceiling in the furnace room. The Certificate of Occupancy is due for renewal . The inspector will � not approve the ceiling. Sue Toskey, an inspector from Fire & Safety stated that, unfortunately, the previous inspector is no longer with the department and there is no record in the files regarding the above statement. Ms. Toskey stated that she is not aware, why this was never cited for. Ron Ankeny stated that the purpose of requiring the one hour fire-rated ceiling was for safety. He advised the appellant that looks was not important. Gypsum board can be installed for a nominal cost finished with fire tape. Ms. Toskey stated that there were alternatives, one was the sheetrocking, if not, then install a sprinkler system. Mr. Gall stated that the water pipes are only 3/4" , therefore, the sprinkler system could not be approved. 5 � �- 9�-�� 7 Mr. Ankeny stated that the sheetrock could be suspended from the ceiling, but must be 5/8" thick and a Type X. The ceiling must be at least 7 feet in height. For the guidelines, Mr. Gall would have to check with the building departme.nt. Ms. Toskey, stated that if the Water Department would not approve a permit to install a sprinkler system, because of the pipe size, the Water Department would then mail a letter to the Fire Department, stating the water service is to small . The Fire Department would then allow instdllation of an electrical smoke detector system, which would have to be inter-connected to all the floors , so that it is audible to every unit in the building. BOARD ACTION: Motion made by Ron Ankeny to deny the request for a variance be denied, instead grant an extension of time for 60 days , until May 1 , 1990 to provide a one hour fire rated ceiling in the furnace and laundry room.

Rainleaders on the east side of the house could be workable. Steve Herbert. from the Rainleader Division stated that the rainleader could be diverted without to much of a problem. Dounspout A could be routed to the rear or the front; B could be routed to the front with no problem.

Mr. Gall submitted some plans and requested that he and the City work very closely with his plans and the plans were semi approved. During the construction an inspector would re-inspect. The inspector at that time noticed there was about 2 1/2" to Z 3/4" of flooring above the joist. The Inspector at that time stated that this would meet the one hour fire rating, therefore, there was no need for 5/8" sheetrock on the ceiling in the furnace room. The Certificate of Occupancy is due for renewal . The inspector will ` not approve the ceiling.

For the guidelines, Mr. Gall would have to check with the building departme.nt. Ms. Toskey, stated that if the Water Department would not approve a permit to install a sprinkler system, because of the pipe size, the Water Department would then mail a letter to the Fire Department, stating the water service is to small . The Fire Department would then allow installation of an electrical smoke detector system, which would have to be inter-connected to all the floors, so that it is audible to every unit in the building.
