MINUTES OF THE MEETING
OF THE BOARD OF CONSTRUCTION APPEALS
A meeting of the
1992 at the City
AR.
MEMBERS PRESENT:
Sherman.
Board of Construction Appeals was held on March 4,
Administration Building, Room 111, Fayetteville,
Tommie Perkins, Neal Albright, and Fred
OTHERS PRESENT: Odell Graves, Jerry Allred, and Richard
Vatdboth, representing G & W Construction; Chief Mickey Jackson,
from the fire department; Freeman Wood, inspection superintendent;
Alett Little, Planning Management Director; and Rosilee Mugley,
senior inspection clerk.
The meeting was called to order at 4:08 p.m. by Tommie Perkins.
G & W Construction plan to build a motel of three buildings
consisting of twenty-four units.
The variance request was for an individual attic wall separation to
be modified; which the contractor feels is not compatible with
their type of structure. The contractor feels that a one-hour fire
wall from slab to ceiling and 3000 sq. ft attic fire wall would be
sufficient.
Freeman Wood explained the code and agreed that the contractor
should be granted some variance but not all of what they are asking
for.
Tommie asked if the code called for this to be to the roof line
between each and every unit.
Freeman said it did. Along in line with ten separation walls.
Each unit will be a tenant space.
Tommie stated that would be a lot of fire walls. Freeman responded
that it would be for that size building and I can understand why
they don't want to put all the draft stops in. My suggestion is
that we require them to go all the way across every set of units or
every other set of units which would be every 12 to 24 feet apart.
• Mickey stated there were three types of partitions and what is
mainly being discussed here is the draftstopping partition. Most
•
•
draftstops are rated but even if they are not rated, the draftstops
are a very valuable help to the firemen in a fire. Mickey stated
he agreed with Freeman in this particular proposal because of the
uniqueness of the building and how small the units are, a draftstop
in the attic will probably not be needed between every unit, it
might cause more problems than it could solve.
Odell stated they have a two hour separation between the living
quarters and the rooms in the back.
The plans were brought out and discussion followed on ways to place
draftstops they would be beneficial to both the contractor and
still be in code.
Neal Albright made the motion that three fire walls be placed in
building one; two firewalls in building two; and one fire wall in
building three.
Fred Sherman seconded the motion.
Tommie called for a vote and the variance with the stipulation
stated above passed unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
