Review of Compliance—545 Cotuit Road. <br /> Mr. Harrington commented the building permit was approved.The Fire Department held it up for <br /> CO detectors and it was held up for excise taxes.The owner will have to get that figured out with <br /> the treasurer. The owner is not happy because of those issues. She is going through the permit <br /> process and other departments are going to catch those items. A permit was requested on June <br /> 29th which has been approved. A date can be set to issue a timeframe of when the work will be <br /> done by.At least the building permit has been requested. If she is given until next meeting it will <br /> allow her the chance to get the issues sorted out with other departments. <br /> Mr.Virgilio referenced the drawings before him and asked what they were of. He inquired if this <br /> was an escape room. Mr. Harrington stated they are the cutouts in the basement into the cellar <br /> wall. The other specs are window wells that sit down in the excavated area outside the window. <br /> It is required for each bedroom. Right now it's a fire trap,and people are sleeping in the basement <br /> on a full time basis. <br /> Mr. Virgilio asked if a contractor drew these and if the building department accepted them, to <br /> which he was told no. <br /> Ms. Patel inquired about the height of the wall from the floor of the basement. She just wants to <br /> know how far someone has to go to get out. <br /> Mr. Harrington stated a maximum of42 inches. <br /> Mr. Virgilio elaborated when you need an escape like that, mostly 9 feet below grade, after the <br /> 42 inches from the floor. What's the grade change? Is it level? What's the grade change from <br /> inside to outside? That's required for design so people can get up and out, there is a lot that <br /> remains to be seen here. <br /> Mr. Harrington noted there is minimal grade change. They are going to be running down to the <br /> street so there is no issue with that. He already approved whatever they submitted.The building <br /> department will review but the Board of Health requirements have been met. <br /> 1 <br />
