AP EARANCE : John Rihm
SU JECT: This case has bee iaid over from the December Sth, 1y87
me ting. Appellant is equesting a variance from St. Paul
Le istative Code pertain ng to Item #4-Provide automatic fire
ex inguishing system in sp ay booth, from a letter dated October
1 , 1987 because it eco omically not feasible, nor pratical
be ause of the building la out.
PR CEEDING5: Appellant w uld like a variance from Fire Code
pe taining to having to install Automatic Fire Extinguisher
Sy tem in Spray room. Ther is only one painter at a time working
in the spray room and oper ted only as a convenience. Rihm Motor
Co. deals with trucks, 1 cated in the Midway area covering one
sq are block. The buildi g is separated from any other business
by the streets that surro nd it. The amount of spray painting
th t is being done is s minimal , that it would not pay to
i stalll the sprinkler sys em. The co$t factor is about
$ 7,000.00. The buildi g is solid concrete blocks. The
� v ntilation in the build'ng is calied the make-up air system.
T is system is turned on before the spraying starts, stays on
d ring spraying and then 1 ft on after the painting is completed.
S erry Webb. from Fire P evention stated that the building has
r oms for spraying, rathe than booths. The contention of Fire
P evention Code is that all spray finishing areas are required to
h ve Automatic Fire Extin uishers 5ystems, either Sprinklers or
D y Chemicai . Ms. Webb tated that the Dry Chemical systems is
1 ss costly. The cost on the smail rooms would be about
$ , 000. 00, in this case t ree sytems would be required. These
r oms are ground level .
M . Ostrum, MPH, CSP, Cons ltant spoke briefiy on his observation
f om his inspection. The spraying area has a ventilation system
with a volume of 60,000 cfm which exhausts the vapors to the
o tside of the building. 7he ventilation system is designed to
p event accumulation of flammable vapors and to keep the vapors
b low the lower explosive limits . Based on the conclusion of Mr.
O trums observation, the ventilation system has such a volume
t at the accumlation af vapors would not occur. The cost of
i stallation is excessive when compared to the amount of work
b ing done.
5
Ms. Webb, from Fire Prevention stated that the ventilation must
be vented directly to the outside.
BOARD AC7ION: Motion made by Glenn Gausman to deny the variance,
pertaining to Providing automatic fire extinguishing system in
spray booths , instead giving the appellant an extension of 6
months to install automatic fire extinguisher; and 90 days for
installation of venting system. Seconded by David Schultz.
