Lance told the board that the building department staff supported granting the variance and submitted a
memo from Fire Marshal,Jon Mies stating the Fire Department supported granting the variance for the
following reasons:
1) The stove is to be used for training purposes only in a transitional unit of the hospital.
2) The stove in question would never be used to cook items that produce grease-laden vapors.
3) Staff felt it would be unreasonable and restrictive to require the hospital to meet the requirement for this
situation.
