MINLJTES OP TI� LEGISLATIVE HEARING
LETTERS OF DEFICLENCY, CORRECTION NOTICES, AND CORRECTION
ORDERS
Tuesday, September 5, 2006
Room 330 City Hall, 15 Kellogg Boulevard West
Marcia Moermond, Legislarive Hearing Officer
The hearing was called to order at 1:50 p.m.
Staff Present: Michael Unnann, Fire Prevention
Appeal of Harriet Johnson and Donna Young for a Certificate of Occupancy with
Deficiencies for property at 1091 Pame Avenue.
Mr. Urmann stated the appeal of Donna Young, tenant in the upstairs unit, had been resolved.
The inspector issued orders because the ceiling between the commercial space and the second
floor residential unit had deteriorated to the point there were holes in the ceiling above the false
ceiling. Because of the condition of the ceiling, a one-hour fire separation needed to be installed
which could be done with either 5(8 inch gypsum or sheet rock. He pointed out that the
commercial space was completely vacant.
Doug Ramsey, appeared on behalf of the four property owners who owned the building. He did
not believe there were holes in the ceiling and he presented letters, pictures and a diagram of the
floor plan of the building. They had planned to sell the building and believed they had a buyer,
however, they backed out of the purchase agreement.
Ms. Moermond asked whether the commercial space was completely vacant. Mr. Urmann
responded that it was vacant and was not being used for any sort of storage. The fire separation
would not be required if this remained vacant, however, if it were used even for storage
`"' purposes, the ceiling would be reqdired to have the fire separarion.
Mr. Ramsey asked whether this provision would be grandfathered in. Ms. Moennond responded
that it would not. The ceiling had previously been in compliance, however, with the presence of
holes in the ceiling above the false ceil'vig, it would need to be brought into compliance with the
one-hour �re raring.
Mr. Ramsey requested Mr. Urmann inspect the ceiling himself. Ms. Moermond recommended
laying this matter over to September 19 so that Mr. Urmann could inspect the ceiling and make a
determination.
Meeting adjourned at 2:10 p.m.
On October 3, 2006, Inspectar Urm�nn reported that he had re-inspected the properiy and found
the properry to be in compliance. He recommended granting the appeal.
