We request that a temporary structure be allowed to exceed the 300' distance from a fire hydrant as measured along an approved fire lane as the hose is laid off the truck. This variance is necessary due to the following special conditions. This building is a temporary solution to a growing church. Phase Two expansion is not determined at this time. Whenever permanent expansion plans are approved and ready for implementation, the necessary fire protection will be installed. The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible. The building could be moved to an alternate location. Additional fire extinguishers could be located close or in the building. This variance will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following All activities in the proposed temporary structure are church facts: related and directly controlled by the church The facts stated by me in this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. V ,/ / Applicant r Date Gt(retfr �e O cif— � r • COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING FOR AN APPEAL To what section of Ordinance 1629 are you alleging an error in interpretation by the Building Official? This request is due to review by the Fire Department. They site Ordinance No. 2030 (4) (a) 603.1.3B as the requirement for this church. In your opinion, what was the error? For site development, the Fire Department's response is standard. There may be an option, however, as the ordinance states zoning classification and not use. Since we are in a R-1 district, 601.3A may apply, allowing for a 500' coverage in lieu of 300' . State any additional facts to support your opinion. 1. There would be a 15' separation from this temporary building and the main structure. There are also no openings on this side of the temporary building. 2. There is limited use of the building (primarily Sunday AM/PM & Wednesday evenings) . 3. The proposed location, as shown, would give the best access to the current facilities in case of inclement weather. 4. Cost of installation of the fire hydrant would prohibit this project as it would drive up the entire costs by 20%. The facts stated by me in this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. 411i ,i A /I A A .4d I / • ' / Date /j ,, ant r�^_/,, p•5f and when not otherwise specified, each ten (10) days that prohibited conditions are maintained shall constitute a separate offense. The applications of the above penalty shall not be held to prevent the enforced removal of prohibited conditions.'

The installation of public fire hydrants in such districts may be deferred and required as a condition of the building permit for structures. (Ordinance No. 1794 of January 14, 1988) (b) Under 603.15--Automatic Sprinkler Systems, paragraph 603.15.5 shall be changed to read as follows: 603.15.5 In all structures protected by an aut--uratic sprinkler system, either as a requirement or as an option, an electronic water flow alarm shall be provided as a means of supervising the system. All systems shall be con- stantly monitored by a licensed alarm company; any changes which must be made to update the system shall be at the owner's expense. All alarm systems shall be tested and approved by the Fire Official to insure proper operation before the system will be considered complete. Verification of alarm connection to an alarm company shall be submitted in writing, by a representative of the alarm company, to the Fire Official. Alarm companies under this section will meet current NFPA 71 standards. (c) Also under 603.15--Automatic Sprinkler Systems, a new paragraph num- bered 603.15.8 shall be included, to read as follows: 603.15.8 Sprinkler systems and flow alarms that are required to be moni- tored by a licensed company shall at no time be shut off. This includes a business going out of business. The owner of said structure shall be re- sponsible to assure that the water is not shut off to the sprinkler system and the phone company does not shut off the water flow alarm.
