CITY OF LITTLE CANADA <br />RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />Office of: <br />JOSEPH G. CHLEBECK, Clerk <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minn. 55117 <br />484 -2177 <br />Dec. 2, 1983 <br />TO: City Council <br />FROM: Ed Locke <br />SUBJECT: Appendix "E" <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond Hanson <br />COUNCI L <br />Michael Fahey <br />Beverly Scaize <br />Dennis Forsberg <br />Mugs Nardini <br />If the building addition is over the square footage requirement of <br />Appendix E, then only that addition would have to be sprinkled, not <br />the entire building. If an addition is under the square footage <br />requirement than it does not have to be sprinkled. If another addition <br />is added to this one, and is also less than the square footage requirement, <br />it still would not have to be sprinkled, according to the State <br />Building Code. <br />I talked to the Fire Marshal in Richfield regarding Appendix E, and <br />as to how many cities have or are looking at adopting it. He gave me <br />the following information: <br />1. Approximately 11 cities have Appendix E in effect. <br />2. 18 -19 cities are considering Appendix E. <br />3. 2 cities are not. (Golden Valley & West St. Paul) <br />4. St. Paul is looking at adopting something along the Appendix E line. <br />5. Minneapolis is going to adopt an ordinance that is as or more <br />stringent than Appendix E. <br />6. The City of Bloomington has had an ordinance requiring sprinklers for <br />commercial buildings for years. Bloomington has a class rating of "4" <br />and are looking at getting a rating of "3 ". That is better than Richfield. <br />Richfield has a full time Fire Department, Bloomington has a volunteer <br />Fire Department, and the biggest reason for this rating and being <br />able to have a volunteer department is the fact that they required <br />sprinklers in commercial buildings. <br />
