December 30, 2002 '* Sent by fax Re: 6251 Main Street, Springfield, 4-Plex. 0..."", ~703 14-pages Dear Touy'Building Inspector. Good morning, this letter and fax is in regards to the above address and pennit. I met with Bob Barnhart before Christmas at the job site, in regards to the issue of the fire wall and he stated that in his opinion I needed a 2 hour fire wall when penetrating the plumbing. And I was advised by Mr. Bob Barnhart if I had any questions on this issue to contact Mr. Ewell Davenp<lrt. So I have done that. This is the letter that I received from Mr. Davenp<lrt along with the building codes. I was very excited to find out that we are only going to need a 1 hour and not a 2 hoUr. ; ; Would you please call me at my office at 541-935-2565. I have contracted my plumber, Kevin Cohen,. and my Dry wall Contractor in order for them to be standing by so they can do what is ever necessary to come to code so I can carry on with my inspections that are needed to carry on with my project. I have lost 2 weeks already because not knowing weather I was, 1 hour or 2 hour and because of the Christmas Holiciays. Tom, I need to get back on track and get this job running again. Would you please help me in getting this accomplished. This is my iust big commercial job and I do not want to make any mistakes, because I heard they can be very costly. And I want to do a good job. So if you would please contact me as soon as possible so I may continue to pursue getting things going again. Thanking you in advance for your ... u~.pt attention to this matter. Sincerely, Margie E.
