RE: Taco Bell Addition/Remodel
1530 S. Coliege Ave., fort Collms -
Dear Sharon,
AN
r
Per our telephone conversation, this letter is to request a variance from your standard
requirements concerning additional exit doors. Specifically, we would request your
approval to let the existing front (west) street entrance door to the Taco Bell remain in the
existing interior hinged position.
The main entrance/exit is located adjacent to the parking lot on the south side of the
building. This entrance also provides the required handicapped access to the building. An
additional exit door has been added to the north side of the dining room to meet the UBC
requirements for exiting from the dining area.
Changing the swing on the existing west entrance door represents a hardship due to the
custom features of this circle top door. It is unlikely the existing door could be properly
fitted with the necessary hardware to bring it in compliance as a required exit. In addition,
if the swing of this door was reversed, the door would swing out over the small exterior
landing or alcove that exists at this location. This could make the door more difficult to
use than it is in its present configuration.
Please let me know if this request meets with your approval. Should you have any
questions in regard to this door, please feel free to call.
Siinccee/rrell�y,
