Waiting for fire approval.

Building plans are conditionally approved subject to further sprinkler analysis. A site visit by Mark Senteno and Sam Rogers determined that FD vehicle access will be acceptable from Exchange St and from the south side delivery truck roadway; see further details under "Meeting" entry of 1/30/09. A separate sprinkler permit will be required to evaluate adequacy of existing sprinkler protection for the proposed 16' high piled storage of Class lV commodities. Commodities are reportedly still spare equipment parts for tools, consisting of metal and plastic parts intermixed, as reported under BLD03-01382 (which was approved for low-piled rack storage only). If the sprinkler analysis shows existing protection is adequate for 16' high storage, that analysis may be re-submitted under this BLD permit, prior to the final inspection, for the sprinkler plan reviewer to review and the fire inspector to field verify. If the sprinkler analysis shows modifications are necessary, a separate sprinkler permit shall be obtained and the sprinkler anaysis shall be included along with that sprinkler application for approval of the proposed sprinkler work.

Site visit with Asst FM, Mark Senteno on 1/30/2009 to re-evaluate FD access situation. We determined the southside delivery truck access roadway is wide enough to allow a FD vehicle turnaround anywhere within 150' of the most remote end of the parking lot roadway, even presuming a few cars or delivery vehicles may be parked along this roadway. On the opposite side, we determined vehicle truck access is available from Exchange St to within all points of the north sied of the building even though there is a fairly steep embankment up to the level of the building, which will allow the street to be used instead of the deadend northside parking lot roadway (which is over 150' long and does not have room for a FD turnaround). By using these two roadways, all points of the buiding are within 150' of fire truck access points and will be acceptable for approval.

Telcon from Paul Marcolina. Compared our notes of the 5/9/07 meeting. Micron will revise their plans to reflect the agreements reached in the meeting, inlcuding designating the FD radways and turnarounds on both sides of the building with pemanent signage or striping in accordance with FD ordinance. Paul indicated it will be ready for review at our next visit.

A new site plan was provided for onsite review. This building has inadequate FD access roadways, access man doors (required for high piled storage) and no fire hydrants are shown (3 are needed based on spacing along FD roadway). I annotated the plan to show options for providing FD turnarounds to make the roadways adequate, location of additional man door and of the three hydrants. I discussed this with Jack Fieselman; he will discuss with Paul Marcolina and John Velikoff. A meeting is needed with the building owner and Fire Marshal to discuss the options for providing these improvements, which are necessary for High Piled Storage introduced by Micron. Dave Hanneman advised of the need for a meeting with owner.

For approval, need site plan showing FD access roadways and location of fire hydrants. Reviewed/accepted hydraulic calc's verify existing protection will provide 3.30 gpm/3000 sf which is adequate for 16.5' of rack storage of Class IV commodities; 7,000 sf rack stge area will not require s&h vents or FD access doors. unencapsulated. Storage must be maintained at least 18" below sprinklers, (which appears to be close to the 16.5' stge height limit of sprinelr design).
