CODE REQUIREMENT WAIVER - ASHLEY MANOR - Ashley Manor has requested a code
waiver for the requirement of a fire hydrant on their property. In January the Fire Code is
going to change from the 1997 Uniform Fire Code to the 2000 International Fire Code.
Fire Chief Eric King stated Ashley Manor has requested we use the 2000 International
Fire Code in regards to the fire hydrant on their property, at this time the City is using the
1997 Uniform Fire Code.
FC King expressed his concerns:
1. In the event there is a fire at the facility, the Fire Department would have to
block both lanes on Hawthorne Road.
2. If the facility expands, a hydrant will be required on the property.
3. If Hawthorne Road is expanded, the hydrant should be installed on their
property, so the reconstructed street would not have to be dug up again.
FC King explained where the location of a fire hydrant is required.
Councilman England suggested this request be put somewhere it can be triggered at the
time of expansion of the facility, or construction on Hawthorne Road.

build it now. Mr. Marley did not feel residents will go for any kind of tax or rate
increases. Mr. Marley is concerned about increasing taxes. Mr. Marley said the public
should be advised how the building is going to be paid for.
Mayor Cotant stated the City can do the remodel- addition within the funds we have, then
every year the respective departments will pay their share of the building back to the
funds they borrowed from.
