STAFF PRESENT: Rtchard Frantz, Ruth Baker
OTHERS PRESENT: Ruth Swtsher
CALL TO ORDER:
Secretary Frantz called the meettng to order at B:35 a,m.
119 1/2 EAST COLLEGE STREET:
Ruth Swfsher, owner of 119 1/2 East COllege Street, was appealing the
dectston of the Ftre Marshall and Senior Buildfng Inspector tn which
they concurred that a second exit ts required for the third floor of
this butldlng.
Swisher presented a sketch of the third floor, stating the square footage
ts 2,053 and that there I, a 4' wtde ftre escape present plus the one set
of stairs, which enters Into the hallway.
Roggow questioned how the prOblem had come to the attentton of the Cfty.
Frantz reported that four to ftve months ago, Paul Moore came to the
City Inspection Office to obtain an electrtcal permtt and It was then
discovered that a bulldtng permft had not been Issued for the remodeling
project. Upon Inspection, It was discovered there were not two separate
exits from the thtrd floor as required by the City Butldfng Code.
Swisher presented a copy of a page of the Appendtx from the Cfty of
Burltngton Butlding Code whfch Indfcated fire escapes are considered
separato exits. Frantz responded by sayfng the Appendfx Is not part of
the Iowa City Building Code and, therefore, a ffre escape is not recognized
as a separate extt,
MOTION: Chafrperson Carlson called for a motion, Roffman moved that
SWTSher be allowed to use the space on the thtrd floor as proposed.
Roggow seconded the motfon, The motion fafled unanimous lv,
~TIO~: Carlson made a motion to deny Swtsher's appeal due to the fact
t at the Iowa Ctty Butldtng Code does not recognize a fire escape as a
separate exit. Roggow seconded the motion. The mot ton carried unanimously,
Meettng adjourned,
