MEMORANDUM
Date:March 4, 2008
To:Building Department
From:Mike Smith, Fire Inspector
Subject:Plan Check BLD2008-0031 316 Walnut St Condo
The above plans were reviewed under the 2006 IFC and the ECDC:
1) Please show portable fire extinguishers and their locations. Minimum size is
2A10:B:C with a maximum travel distance of 75 feet. It looks like 2 portable
F/E’s will be required per floor.
2) Your sprinkler riser room is located in the basement not on an exterior wall.
NFPA 13 and 24 do not allow fire lines to run under a building. Please explain
how the fire line will get to the riser room or relocate the room to an exterior wall.
3) Is this an NFPA 13 or a 13R sprinkler system. This will make a difference in the
size of dedicated fire line to the system (and other building considerations). Your
plans show a 2 inch line. Please call out the correct sprinkler system and
consult your fire sprinkler contractor for the correct size of water supply piping.
4) Fire Connection Permit must be issued concurrent with the building permit.
Please submit plans in triplicate for the fire line. Handouts are available at City
Hall, second floor.
5) Deferred submittals include the fire sprinkler and fire alarm permits.
6) Exiting from the second and third floor residential units through a storage room
was addressed by Eagle Eye Consultants.
Please call with any questions.
