Baker, Fire Chief <br />DATE: April 9, 2003 <br />RE: Height Variance Request, Mashpee Commons, Building 16 <br />As you are aware, Deputy Chief Hamblin and I have been meeting with the Douglas <br />Storrs of Mashpee Common in regards to his request for a height variance for proposed <br />Building 16 Mashpee Commons. <br />• As the building stands alone, with the considerations enumerated on the attached letter <br />from Randell Imai included in the variance as conditions, I am not opposed to this height <br />variance request. <br />• <br />However, as this building affects the fire load of the Mashpee Commons as a complex I <br />do have a concern. <br />Currently, buildings I la and 14 have sprinkler systems that do not meet the NFPA <br />standard for fire suppression systems (the attics are not protected). It is my hope that <br />when the Zoning Board of Appeals s acts regarding this variance Item 13 of Mr. Imai's <br />Letter is included in the conditions. <br />I am unable to attend this evening's meeting to personally present my opinion of this <br />request but will make myself available for a future meeting if the board so desires. <br />CC D.
