The 808 West Prospect Mixed Use Building #2002-07
TO: Ron Gonzales, Poudre Fire Authority
CC: Kevin Frazier
RE: Letter of Appeal for Emergency Access Modification.
REMARKS:
Hello Ron. I am writing on behalf of Kevin Frazier', the owner: of our proposed three story 808 W.
Prospect Mixed Use Building. Our team submitted this project for review in September of this
year and have received our first round of citystaff comments. In response to P;~A's comments
pertaining to fire lane width and access length our team has reconfigured the site plan and building
plans the extent feasible to accommodate those requirements.
We have discovered that providing the 100' diameter turnaround required when the access road
exceeds 150' in length on our proposed site is;virtually impossible to accomplish while
maintaining an economically viable building footprint. Based on this information we are
requesting a fire access requirement modification that can be granted by the Fire Marshall per the
Fort Collins Land Use Code Section 3.6.6 item (B)(1).
This section of the LUC states: Any emergency access requirement may be modified by the Fire
Marshall pursuant to the procedures serforth in the Fire Code when structures are provided with
automatic fire sprinkler systems. Such modlflcations may include access distances longer Man
one hundred fifty (ISO) jeer, narrower road widths, increased grade, reduced turnarounds and
longer dead-end distances.
We are requesting that,.tbc access distance for this project be increased from 150' to. approximately
240' based upon the above quoted code section and the fact that our proposed building would
provide an automatic fire sprinkler system.
