APPEARANCES : John Holman, Rudolph Low. PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Erickson explained what the Midway fire limit means . Mr. Low said they are requesting relief of area restrictions which do not apply in this case. There are open streets on either side. There are no buildings within 60 ' of the proposed construc- tion. The area limits should not apply because the location is not congested. Central Warehouse Co. has public and leased ware- housing operations with numerous buildings being used. They have been in the present location since 1902 . To comply with � code , it would be necessary to add three firewalls to scale down the area of the building. Twelve foot runways would be needed for the forklifts . In effect, l�% of the usable area of this building would be eliminated. . . . They propose to make the building non-combustible and sprinklered. . . . Insurance companies allow construction of building of this type but do re- quire pumps tied into the sprinkler system, larger piping for water, draft curtains , and hatches to allow smoke out of the fire � areas .
