INDUSTRIAL PLACE A meeting is called for Wednesday, April 29, 1998, 11 : 00 am, room 111, City Administration, 113 W. Mountain St. for the appeal of a decision of the Building Official and the Technical provisions of the 1991 Standard Building Code. The appeal is to have concentrated sprinkler heads washing a non-combustible wall rather than a code required 4-hour fire rated wall separating the building into two buildings conforming to areas allowed by code. The building code recognizes wall washing in lieu of 1 -hour rated walls for a glass wall in an atrium (see attached code section 509. 5). The applicant has provided the attached article to help support the appeal. Plan review of the required drawings indicated that the area of the existing building, 69,375 sq. ft., plus the proposed addition, 14,800 sq. ft., exceeded the maximum area allowed by code for the use and type of construction. Type IV construction, storage occupancy, unprotected, and • sprinklered allows a 48,000 sq. ft. plus 16,000 sq. ft. with area modification with 30 ft. of open space around permiter of building ( see Table 400 and Section 402.3 attached). Attached code section 402.4. 1 provides for unlimited area for storage occupancy with 60 ft. open area around permiter and with building sprinklered. Review of records of the permiting in 1995 of the existing building indicated a building with 60 ft. open area around permiter allowing unlimited building area but in fact the building was constructed with approximately 60 ft. open area around permiter except the south 80 ft. on east side was within 30 ft. on the south (see attached site plan) limiting the area to 64,000 sq. ft.for a storage occupancy. Apparently the building was designed for a manufacturing occupancy in 1995 within area requirements of the code. This will be explained during the meeting. Attached you will find: 1 . Appeal application w/ article. 2. Code sections 509.5, 402.37 402.4. 1 , & Table 400. 3 . Site plan. 4. 1995 & 1998 permit applications. Also, attached you will find minutes of the April 13, 1998 CBAA meeting to be reveiwed, corrected if necessary, and approved. • CBAAHANN 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 501-521-7700 FAX 501.575-8257 • 6- 16- 1998 8 : 37PM FROM p 2 • City of Fayetteville Inspection Division NOTICE OF APPEAL CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS NAME: _ ��2r DATE: % ,)J 58 ADDRESS: 1ya/ l3, / S74 CITY: 52tq �yrray. a r- STATE: A42- ZIP: 7a 76/ HOME PHONE: Z I°l55 WORK PHONE: W3 - sn 2 ADDRESS OF PROPERTY WHEREAPPEAL REQUESTED: APPEAL THE DECISION OF THE BUILDING OFFICLAL AND/OR APPEAL THE TECHNICAL PROVISION OF CODE (YIN) • BUILDING OFFICIAL DECISION: I N �( >2sWMI �S Fa4 �, 2�'O 5 � � 4Nsrvv 1255 T)Fnn� do FgvH 8�: wO �M&-, T)41-5 aU. ,.n;A)&- o��N.�..y w„s �s � who �,•4w,,,.. .
