Design scope. I meet code from a to z, or no, i cant meet it in certain areas. Its the onus of the Design Professional to bring that forward to our attention. As the authority having jurisdiction, we look at that and say, okay. What is your proposal . How do we meet the intent . Can we meet the intent . Can you give us an enhancement that offsets the deficiency that you cannot comply with . That thats what we ask, and thats where it becomes subjective, and i understand the differing opinions. When the Fire Department looks for an enhancement to offset the deficiency, we look at it through the lens of the Fire Department and our experience with fires. We understand how fires, how buildings perform in fires, how they affect our egress system, how they affect our Fire Department access, etcetera. So when we are looking at an equivalency or some kind of enhancement, were saying okay, from our experience, and our expertise being in a fire, are those occupants of this building, are they goin
Good morning, commissioners. Thank you for the invitation. Always happy to speak before the Building Commission and or the Building Department our partners. We see them as our partners. I would just like to say dan lawry laid out a very good process. It makes a lot of sense, and its a very good process. I thought he did a good job laying that out. Id like to just respond to our Planning Department. Were talking about waivers, that may work with the Planning Department. The Fire Department cannot waive fire code requirements. Its basically straight law. We cannot be less restrictive than state law, so id like to put that out there. The other thing id like to mention as i begin, and ill be brief, were all for additional housing, but at some point, when we get started with, its worth taking a pause to remind ourselves why we have building and fire codes. I know we all know this, but its worth mentioning. Its because over the centuries, weve had loss of life and property. We all know thats
Pillar. Mr. Pillar. Im glad he is okay. Well, yeah, almost dead. Isnt it interest nothing life when you have two different angles of something it is a completely different story. He could have slid underneath that train. Pretty tight spot there. Last car he could have fallen on the tracks. Exactly. But he is okay. Thank goodness because he is in the studios with us. We will have a dual between him and young man on the plane we have a pole in the studio that we could usually use. Good day, it is tuesday, john 23rd. I know we have purple on. We have beat them 38seven. What do you want. Now we are getting message was facebook. She has red on. It is burgundy and im a phillies fan it is f u. S. C. Ia it depends. We are running out of clothes, people. Oh, come on. We have to do laundry. Real quickly here lets get to weather. We have a lot of rain. If you havent gotten yet it is coming your way.

Right now at 11 00, close to finding a cure, the new hope for children with severe peanut allergies. A move to ban bump stops, president obama directing the Justice Department to take action against the devices. This as he prepares to meet with students and teachers about gun violence. First, a warm day turns into a warm night. February feels like may. And the record warmth isnt over. Good evening im jessica dean im Ukee Washington. Youll have another chance tomorrow. Kate bilo is outside on the sky deck and its hard to believe youre out there without a coat on that a february night. Its starting to get chilly but not cold enough that you need a winter coat. A light jacket should do the trick. As temperatures still in the low 60s, across much of the area. What we had today, temps were well above average, and we had new records across much of the area. Philadelphia set up a new record, 72. The previous record was 70. Tied the record in Atlantic City at 73. Mount pocono, 64 a new record
Offset the deficiency to makeup for that deficiency, any kind of enhancement is it an alternative design, is it an alternative means or method, and if were confident of that, we move forward. One other thing id like to make, we talked a lot we mentioned a couple times about our fire safety sheet, our bulletins, etcetera, and we standby them. I personally signed that that bulletin and the fire safety sheet does not address exiting, does not address fire safety windows. It addressed sprinkleers. It does not waive requirements for stand pipes, does not waive requirements for exiting. So i think theres a misunderstanding that someone reads that document and take its too far, that reads Something Else in that its not. So i think i technically appreciate your trying to get me there. I mean, where my concern is obviously, were going to have 600 of these coming at you. Yes. So im asking the question, and lets just talk a little bit about the preapp. Yeah. Maybe thats where were at. In your exp
