Conway <br />Building Commissioner <br />TO: 1VTembers of the Board of Building Code Appeals <br />RE: : 25838 By.ron Drive <br />I wanted to provide this correspondence, as there will, not be a representatiye from <br />the Building Department at your meeting tonight: <br />I liave personally reviewed this matter with our.Fire Department and although they <br />do not want undersized windows to become a comrrion pr.actice, they would not raise a <br />strong objection to a var.iance being granted in this;case. They have'the means,t:o remove <br />the window and fiame (or cut out a section of the wall) to aid in removing soineone from <br />the bedroom iri event of a fire. <br />Further w.ith the addition; smoke detectors h.ave bee.n. added to the family room <br />. : <br />area and are also located outside of the bedrooms in the hallway_- This early warning <br />should give the room occupant time to :move to ,another b.edroom if the need arises. , <br />While it is the goal to have the building code followed, the Building Department <br />will not raise an objection if the Board determines to grant a variance in this case. The <br />owners should be aware that they would bear the responsibility to repair any dainage that <br />might be done by the Fire Department in enlarging an opening. They would also be <br />responsible to make future purchasers of the property aware that the opening does not <br />meet code and that a variance was granted.
