C. PUBLIC FORUM:

D. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

1. Pass the Ordinance approving a variance to Section 1208.2 of the 2012 IBC for 215 S.
 Washington Street.
 Mr. Fred Filippo presented the key facts of the petitioners requested
 variance. The petitioner - represented today by the architect Mr. Arthur
 Kaczmarsk -- is requesting a variation ruling to the International Building
 Code Section 1208.2. That section states that kitchens in basements shall
 have a ceiling height of not less than seven feet to allow a lower ceiling
 height of six feet eight inches. Staff is in support of the variance due to the
 low occupant load, the small area, and the short distance of travel to the
 exits.

 Ghassan confirmed with Mr. Filippo that the height of the basement is six
 feet eight inches. Mr. Filippo answered yes.

 Mr. Smith asked if the entire lower level is six foot eight? The petitioner
 responded that yes it was. Mr. Smith followed up by asking how big of an
 area they wanted to use. Petitioner replied 250 square feet and that it is a
 finished basement. Mr. Smith asked if there were plans to increase this
 space? Petitioner responded not at this time.

 Mr. Kaczmarsk presented his plans for the space to include dishwashing
 equipment, a mop sink and storage.

 The BRB closed the public hearing.

 Mr. Smith asked if staff was in favor of this request. Mr. Filippo answered
 yes. Mr. Filippo added that this is a common basement height in the
 downtown area and because of a change of occupancy this issue arose .
 The architect is also improving the basement stairs to bring them up to
 code standards.

 Mr. Smith asked if there were any fixtures, encumbrances or ductwork
 hanging lower than the six foot eight inches. The petitioner responded no,
 not in the 250-square foot area, however, the edge of this portion of the
 basement is bordered by a lower support beam, this is why only a portion
 of the basement is proposed to be used.

 Mr. Castagnoli asked is the building sprinklered, or will it be? The
 petitioner responded no, and it did not have to be per the code, but there is
 a fire alarm.

 A motion was made by Ghassan and seconded by Meyer-Smith to to recommend
 approval of BRB Case #94.

 Ayes - 9 (Brockman, Smith, Jurjovec, Kuhrt, Meyer-Smith, Kronewitter,
 Castagnoli, Russell, Ghassan)
