MEMO TO: Director of Public Works/Community Development Thatcher FROM: Public Works Foreman/Building Inspector RoseI�t DATE: January 27, 1987 SUBJECT: MID-AMF,RICAN AUTO 2975 HIGHWAY 10 The following are the findings of my building/fire inspection of the above subject- address. The business is a used car sales and minor repair shop. That would translate to a B-3 conditional use permit auto repair minor zoning. The Building Code addresses such use in either a B-2 or 11-4 occupancy. It is my interpretation that the use fits more properly into the 11-4 classification due to the practices of welding, cutting, torching and painting. Attached please find copies of Section 905 of the Uniform Building Code (UDC) and Section 45.207 of the Uniform Fire Code (UFC). These sections require the following corrections: 1. Office Area - Relocate furnace from garage area used for office and restroom heat and provide for the ventilation requirement found in the UBC areas marked "A". 2. Garage Area - Install a automobile exhaust system as required in the UBC area marked "B". 3. Restroom - Install or repair a restroom to meet the requirements of the UBC area marked "C". This facility can be a unisex facility. 4. Garage Area - Install a mechanical ventilation system to provide a minimum of six complete air changes per hour taken at a point near the floor per UBC requirements marked "0" and UFC requirements marked "A". Also meet all other requirements found in UFC, Section 45.207. 5. The Fire Department, per my discussion with them, may also require sprinkling of the repair area. Their direction will be received on February 2, 1987. Other items required by the Building Code: 1. Removal of a1L roof bar joist storage and excess equipment (i.e., extra unused space heater, engine block and tackle hoist• and any other excess materials unless the owner supplies a proof of load bearing capacity from a qualified structural engineer.
