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. 231 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - (cont.)
