MINUTES REGULAR CITY. COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1984 PAGE 3 Fire Marshall Iverson explained that variances on the solid core doors can be granted if hazardous areas of the entire building are provided with a sprinkler system. He requested that if there is to be s delay in complying with the required changes, apartment owners write a letter of intent explaining the reason for the delay. Attorney Gasteazoro stated that the apartment owners have received a 30 day notice to comply and can be issued a citation after 30 days. If there is to be a delay, a letter of intent is to be sent indicating the intent to comply within a reasonable time. A specific time must be indicated and when that time is over, legal action could be taken. She explained that the law stipulates that every municipality must adopt the Uniform Fire Code or some other code as stringent as the UFC, and the City Ordinance No. 88 provides that the Fire Chief may modify the code but any modifications must be passed on by the State Fire Marshall's office. Attorney Gasteazoro was of the opinion that the variance should not be granted as the City could be enjoined in a law suit if the lack of the required fire protection items resulted in a death. Council concurred that the Gity would be remiss if the law is not enforced and requested apartment owners work with the Fire Chief and Fire Marshall to comply with the law. Joyce Gimmestad, owner of B and J Floral, Inc., 1871 W. Larpenteur, requested to be heard regarding her concerns regarding a stipulation made by the Planning Commission at their August 10th meeting which required that the existing structure and debris on her property be removed prior to :the new garage being erected. Mrs. Gimmestad explained that this would cause a hardship as she would have no place to store the items in the existing building while the replacement is being constructed.
