PROCEEDINGS : �Mr. Kampmeyer spoke of his concern that' tiao small units on eac loor would become isolated if stairivell enclosures were installed in the manner required by the housing code . He mentioned that enclosures would make it difficult for some tenants to hear the smoke alarm system in the event of an emergency. Some of the affected tenants were worried also about their safety from intruders or burglars because of isolation from tfieir ne��hbors . Many residents were elderly persons who watch out for one another and who socialize with their fellow residents , but parti- tions would create a barrier. He cited the difficulty of regulating the heat if each hallway were to be separated� into three sections . He pointed� out that the basement windows were situated in such r�anner as to make them easily accessible in an emergency.

She conceded that it was impossible to provide perfect fire p rotection in older buildings tiahere the floor plan made it very difficulti in some cases .

" PROCF.EnINGS : Wil liam Folwick explained �hat each unit has two entrance doors , each door having a deadbolt lock. The front door for each unit- has a� deadbolt lock with key and the entire building is master-keyed. The "back" door to each un.it has a deadbolt lock that can be locked only from the inside . Back doors are never used for initial entry. He asked that the existing system be allotiJed to remain , because chanbing it would be a duplication and very expensive , as we11 . I�is . Bi j j ani stated that the code specifies that deadbolt locks be openable from the outside with a key and fror� the inside t�rithout a key.

Also , rec�uest variance on Item �12 in city's letter of 2/1/83, pertaining to connector on gas shutoff valve. APPEARA�CE : Dr. Datirid Parupsky PROCEEDINGS : Dr. Parupsky said the city has told him that the �roperty is being operated illegally as three units . He has considered discontin- uing use of the basement as a separate unit, but the occupant has a lease th rough the end of this year and �Jants to stay. If reQuired to do al� the work ordere�i, it would be f'inancially unfeasible . The specific items he is appealing concern : (1) Deadbolt locks--he feels they are unnec�u�ssary but would put them in if he had to, (2) One hour fire sep aration in - the boiler area--entails fire doors , electric smoke alarm, and extensive s.heetrocking, none of which would be renuired if he discontinued use of . the basement unit , as he understood it , (3) Basement escape window--he feels the existing window is within code specifica�ions . I��s . Bijjani said there is no standard firewall betiaeen the heating plant and the basement unit . In addition , the heating plant itself needs to _ be fire-separated. As for the escape tivindow, the opening appears to be of adec{uate size , but the �vindowwell is too narrota and shoul.d be enlarged. A swina-out windoiv should replace the existing toindol�. She said these items would not need to be considered if use of the basement unit was discontinued as living space. Chairman Glassman advised Dr.. Parupsky to take time to consider w�iether substantial in.itial expense would be worthiahile �in the long �un to allow the continued renting of the basement unit . BOARD ACTION : Mr. Knutson moved to grant a variance on Section 13.06 , pertaining to fire senaration of the b asement unit and the boiler area, and Section 34. 13, pertaining to escape ivindow rec�uirements , to permit continued occuDancy of the basement unit until the exniratiorz of the current tenant's lease on December 31, 1983.
