OC-20-1201 Public Hearing Variance request of Section 602, table 602 of the 2012 International Building Code, Fire resistance ratings requirements for exterior walls based on separation distance. Request is to allow a reduction of the 1hr fire rating at 10’ due to distance, located at 1172 Monroe St. Jeff Craft (contractor), Mike Tolle and Dan Levi (architectural firm) were present on behalf of the business via video. The property is located at 1172 Monroe Street. The owner is proposing to perform a complete renovation that will include removing almost all the interior walls and the roof and reconstructing the structure for the Knox Family Dental offices. Section 602 and table 602 of the 2012 International Building Code requires that an exterior wall of a building that is > 5 to 10 feet from property lines have a 1 hour fire rating. The existing north exterior wall of the structure is approximately 9 foot 8 inches away from the north property line. The petitioner is requesting a variance of the required 1 hour fire rating on the basis that it is only inches from the requirement, and the additional work and changes to the existing wall to make it conform is going to add extensive cost. A motion was made by Member Benbow and a second from Member Benedict to approve the variance. Roll Call #1 Aye: Benbow, Benedict, Groom, Swanson, 4. Nays: None. Abstentions: None.

Currently 17.5% of the South wall has openings and would be Grandfathered in if the windows are not replaced. The current set back is 1’8” from the property line. If a 3.5’ no build easement was granted it would create a total setback of 5’1” from the building wall. They are also asking for a variance for future construction phases to be considered as having a 5’ to 10’ Fire Separation Distance from adjacent properties. The future building is anticipated to have a change in occupancy from B to A3, and to be protected by a fully automatic sprinkler. This would allow them to have 25% of the south wall be window openings per table 705.8. A copy of the table from the code section that the petitioner is requesting a variance of is attached for your review. TO: Overall Code Review Commission FROM: Eric Heiden, Code Compliance Supervisor DATE: February 15, 2022 SUBJECT: OC-22-0202 The property is located at 1611 Grand Ave. The owner has constructed wood framed walls to section off a portion of the space for gaming purposes. Electrical work has already been ran through out the walls. Section 602 and table 601 of the 2012 International Building Code does not allow for wood studs in a type I or type II building. The petitioner is requesting a variance that would allow the use of the existing wood studs. They propose the use of Painted Pine Siding with a Class C Flame Spread to be placed on the 2x4 framing.
