ACTION RKQu 1 : VARIANCE REQUEST
STAFF REPORT
Subject : Appeal for variance with regard to the fire
sprinkler system, within a structure, located at
3800 Texas Avenue.
Prepared by: George Spain, Fire Inspector
March 1, 1993
Seeti cin 901 _7_1
Group M. An approved automatic sprinkler system shall be
provided in stores and similar occupancies where stocks of
combustible materials are on display for public sale and where
the story floor area exceeds 15,000 square feet.
The College Station Fire Department respectfully asks for
denial of the applicants request for a variance from the fire
sprinkler requirements based on the following:
* The total area in the building exceeds the fifteen-
thousand ( 15,000) square feet maximum for a Group M,
unsprinkled building.
* The building occupies an area almost twice the size
required to be protected by an automatic sprinkler system.
(29,000 sq. ft. )
* At the time the building was annexed into the City of
College Station it was not required to have a sprinkler
system in place (the building was originally constructed
in the county and did not meet city codes) .
* This business will hold a large amount of displayed items.
The larger display area lends itself to a larger group of
citizens shopping in the store at any given time. This
increases the life hazard.
* If a fire were to start during the night, and a sprinkler
system was present, the fire would in all likelihood, be
confined and held in check until the fire department
emergency vehicles could arrive on the scene and take
control of the small fire. If a sprinkler system is not
used, the fire department would be notified only when the
fire had reached such a magnitude as to vent itself through
the roof or side of the building. The building could be
totally involved before the fire department could arrive
on the scene .
* Dollar loss from a fire of this magnitude could hurt the
citizens of College Station by raising the fire insurance
rates.
