units had its own bathroom. Because of space problems , it would be very
difficult to construct bathrooms inside the walls of these apart�ents , and
the high cost of doing so would be unfeasible. _ ,

SUBJECT: Request variance of Section 34. 14, pertaining to light and venti-

room window does not meet required dimensions for use as an escape window,
because of practical difficulty. �
APPEAR.ANCE: Thomas R. Rider
PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Rider said he had been granted a variance� earlier this
year to perma.t occupancy of the basement unit on condition that an escape
window be put in the sleeping room. He had installed a crank-out type,
as recommended, but the largest one available fell somewhat short of the
light and ventilation code specifications, sa he asked for a varian�ce.
Alice Bijjani confirmed that the new window qualified as an escape �rindow,
but it fell short by 2 � 8" sq. ft. of light requirements and a variance �
from the Board of Appeals would be needed.

SUBJECT: Request variance of Section 34. 11 to permit continued odcupancy
o�i e units , two of which share one bathroom facility and the re�riaining
three share another, because providing private facilities for eachlwould
mean increasing rents for tenants of limited incomes and cause fin�ncial
hardship.
APPEARANCE: Raymond Apne 1 �, Richard �Vet z ler
PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Appel said five of the ten units had their ow� bath-
rooms . Of t e remaining five , two share a bath in the basement, anid three
share one on the third floor.
. � ,
• -3- lI/10/81 - Me�ting No. I79
Alice Bijjani said tha�C what most concerned her was that one of the, tenants
had to travel from the first floor to the basement to use the bathrpom, and
a second floor tenant had to travel to the third floor to reach thelother
shared bathroom. . ', ___.___
Board members discussed the matter of the number of persons who shaxed �
use of each shared bath, and the questzon of whether, if a variance were
to be gran�ed, it should be for the lifetime of the building or lim�ted
to the period of current ownership. _ . _._
BOARD ACTION: Mr. Gausman moved to grant a variance of Section 34.11 _
to permit continued occup ancy of five units sharing two bathroom fa�ilities,
. provided that no more than five persons share the use of each of the
shared facilities , such variance to be effective only for the periad of

(three units)
SUBJECT: Request variance of Sections 34. 13 and 34. 14, pertaining to
sleeping space in cellars, and natural light and ventilation , respe�ctively,
to permit continued accupancy of basement apartment, because of pra�tical
difficulty and expense.
APPEARANCE: Gretchen Schultz
PROCEEDINGS : Ms . Schultz stated that she had hired a workman to re lace .
exi nis g-g�as� block with larger windows in the sleeping are a of th� base-
ment unit when she bought the property three years ago. It had beeri
necessary to. knock out a considerable area of cement block as well.
Alice Bijjani explained that the kitchen had no window and adjoine�l Lhe
slesping area, so was considered one room. In this situation, the area
fell considerably short of code requirements for light and ventilation.
For adequate ventilation in the kitchen, she suggested the alternat�ve of
mechanical ventilation. As to the sleeping area, the window did no� aualify
as an escape route because the storm window was a partial obstructic�n,
_ providing an openable area of only 19" X 20" as compared to the reqi�ired
22" X 24". She said the sill height was two inches too high to comply �
with escape window requirements as well.
BOARD AC�'ION: Mr. Knutson moved to grant variances of Sections 34. 13
an . , to permit continued occupancy of the basement apartment, on
condition that mechanical ventilation vented to the outside be prov�ded
in the kitchen, and that the storm window in the sleeping room be adjusted
in such manner as to comply with requirements for use as an escape windot�r.
Mr. Tilton seconded. MOTION CARRIED AND SO ORDERED.

SUBJECT: Request variance of Section 13. 03, pertaining to fire-rated
smoke ctoors , because of practical difficulty. (Identical situation in
both properties. ) '
APPEARANCE: Richard A. Voss and Jerris Torgerson '
PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Voss said that 590 So. Snelling has been sold, bu to
close t e �al the building must have a Certificate of Occupancy. e

' � � -b- 11/10/81 - Meeting No. 179
there was no practical way to put in an enclosure with fire-rated s�oke
doors , as called for in the building code. In these particular buildings ,
enclosing the floors would only add to the difficulty of getting out of
the building safely in an emergency. It would mean tha� only four pf the
tinits would end up outside of the smoke containment corridor, but six would
remain withi,n it, with the added obstacle of automatically closed d�ors in
an emergency situation. He had discussed the problem with a fellow building
official , and the best solution , in their opinion, would be the irtstallation
of a hard-wired smoke $ fire detector with a siren or audible alarm on it
in the basement corridor of each building:
BOARD AC�'ION: Chairman Glassman moved that a waiver of Section 13,03 be
grante , on condition that an approved type of smoke and fire detector
with a siren or other audible alarm be installed in the basement corridor
of each building. Mr. Knutson seconded. MOTION CARRIED AND SO ORD�RED.
