building the church would not be compliant on this issue and thereby needs to provide an access <br /> road to the rear of the structure. The code further provides that when access roads are required <br /> and installed a water supply(on-site hydrants) must be installed. In the initial plan review it was <br /> determined by myself and the local fire marshal that you would have to comply with this. <br /> The code further provides the local Fire Chief with an ability to waive this option if the structure <br /> is fully sprinidered. Our policy is to waive the road in lieu of sprinklers even though the code <br /> provides us with an ability to require both. Our experience has been that the cost of the road and <br /> hydrant typically exceed the cost of sprinklers and provides no insurance premium savings. <br /> I hope the information contained in this letter is helpful to your situation. It is my understanding <br /> that the council will be addressing the issue in a workshop format on Monday February 3, 1997 <br /> with subsequent action to occur at a future Council meeting. I will keep you apprised of the <br /> meeting dates and times as they become more specific. <br /> Enclosed is a copy of a memo I prepared for council on this issue for your information. <br /> If I can be of further assistance or you wish to discuss this matter in more detail I can be reached <br /> at 786-4436 or 860-7442 or at home in the evenings at 780-1433. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Py(pp-Lj <br /> r <br /> Nyle Zikmund <br /> Fire Chief <br /> cc.
