Applicant Date CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS STAFF REPORT Case Number: 94-003 Applicant: City of College Station Fire Department P. O. Box 9960 College Station, TX 77840 Telephone: (409) 764-3700 Property Owner: City of College Station P. O. Box 9960 College Station, TX 77840 Telephone: 764-3507 Location of Property: 4180 State Highway 6 South College Station, Texas 77840 Description of Property: Tract A in the Shenandoah Phase One Subdivision Zoning of Property: C-3, Planned Commercial Action Requested: A variance to Table 600 in the 1991 Standard Building Code in regard to the requirements for Type VI construction one hour protected to allow wood trusses to remain unprotected. Applicable Ordinances: Table 600 in the 1991 Standard Building Code. Staff Comments: The fire station is a mixed occupancy building. There are three different classifications. The type of construction is allowed as per code and can be either protected or unprotected. The fire station has been designed as a protected structure. According to the current code all the structural elements must be protected. The architect, at the request of the city representative, has designed the dayroom with exposed trusses. his is in noncompliance with the code requirements. The code allows an area of this type of construction to be greater than 40,000 square feet if unprotected. The fire station is ten percent (10%) of the allowable size and it is protected. It appears to be a good trade for the city to allow the exposed trusses with the protected classification. It is the recommendation of the building department that a variance be granted since the design and construction type with full protection is a safer structure then the maximum allowed by code of the same construction type unprotected.
