discussed in this report, except to indicate that a i-hour occupancy separation is
required between the H-4 body shop and the H-l proposed paint shop. addition,
The following required modifications and repairs will bring the existing building
into compliance with the State and City Code regulations for the proposed H-4 Oc-
cupancy, but will not allow for occupancy and use of the proposed addition until
adequate facilities for paint spraying are also provided.

STRUCTURAL SPECIALTY CODE AND FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY
1. The building projection on the east side of the residence must be removed to pro-
vide adequate separation from the shop.
,2. The west wall of the shop must be protected by 2 hour fire resistive construction
with a 3/4 hour rated door in the existing opening or the opening must be closed
off with the required fire protective construction,
3. The south building wall must be protected by 1 hour fire resistive construction
and the existing window removed or replaced with a window having a 3/4 hour fire
resistive rating.
,4. Both the south and west walls require parapets to be added with the same degree
of fire resistance as required for each wall below, The parapets must extend
to a point 30" above where the roof and wall intersec't,

6'8" in size and located a distance apart not less than one half the diagonal
dimension of the building (measured in a straight line between doors). The
doors must swing in the direction of exit travel, be operable without the
use of a key or any special knowledge or effort, and be provided with a 5'
landing outside. Any exit door located in a fire resistive wall shall have

7. The existing roo:f assembly is acceptable as equivalent to the required Class
B fire retardant type.
8. Attic ventilation is required with a total area equal to 1 square foot of
vents for each 150 square foot of attic area. Such ventilation shall not
be located in the exterior walls requiring fire resistive construction~
9. A wood stove may be used as a heat source in the existing building if the
following criteria are met:
a. No painting is allowed in this area.
b, The stove must be installed at least 18" above the floor.
c. A wood stove permit must be obtained and the installation approved by

capable of providing a minimum of 5 CFM of outside air with a total cir-
culated air of not less than 15 CFM per occupant in all portions of the ."
building during times when the building is occupied; or provide window area
equal to 1/10 of the building floor area, half of which must be openable for
ventilation. Such windows may not be located in fire resistive walls.
11. Flammable and hazardous materials may be stored in the existing building up
to the amounts indicated on the attached Table 9-A. Larger quantities will
require specially constructed enclosures. .
