Hi Sara,
Here are comments from building:
1. Historic portion East property line fire separation distance of 3’-5” complies with IRC (change
in use to single family) if fire sprinklers are installed. (2015 IRC R302.1)
2. Historic portion West property line fire separation distance of 1’-0” requires 1 hour rated wall
and no windows or eave overhangs allowed. The existing condition is similar but with a few
more inches of clearance on the West (but then less on the East) (2015 IRC R302.1). However,
2015 IEBC 1205.3 allows the existing historic exterior wall and opening situation to remain
due to a change of occupancy to an equal hazard category. The applicant must submit a
report per 2015 IEBC 1201.2.
3. The new addition is 3’ from the East and West property lines. This requires either a fire
sprinkler or 1 hour fire rated wall with windows no more than 25% of wall area and 1 hour fire
rated eave overhangs no closer than 2’ to the property lines (2015 IRC R302.1). Applicant
should verify with the Parks department that a fire sprinkler line can feasibly be installed.
4. Emergency escape and rescue opening window wells have grates and appear to be adjacent
to walkways- requiring guards per City policy.
