Re: New Main Fire Station Project No. 71-19
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Gordon:
We would like you to review two of the items your inspectors have
found as not being in conformance with code provisions. They are
as follows:
1. Section 1714, 1970 Edition, can be interpreted as requiring
a 42" guardrail on the open sides of stair runs. We do
not believe this was the intent of the code. Evidence
for our view may be found by comparison with Section
1716 of the 1973 Edition where the word "stairs" has
been deleted.
2. Your inspector quoted the mechanical code (correctly, we
assume) as not allowing a hose spray on sinks in a commercial
building. The spray in question is located on the kitchen
sink in the firemen's- livingc}LLa.rte_rs-.- The s-i-nk-I-s-used
-
in a completely residential fashion and the Fire Chief
indicates that the men need and use the sp ay hose. Sinks
in Fire Stations #2 and #3 and the existing Main Fire
Station are so equipped.
We request approval of the above items as installed.
Sincerely,
WiTI lam 0. Brenner, Jr., Vice Pres.
Architect, A.I.A.
