Garform.003 I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE AGREEMENT ABOVE LINITIAI 1 Access and Exit Facilities and Emergency Escapes — Section 1204 Because so many fire deaths occur as the result of the occupants of residential buildings being asleep at the time of a fire, the U.B.C. requires that basements in dwelling units and all sleeping rooms below the fourth story have windows or doors which may be used for emergency escape or rescue. The reason for the requirement in basements is that they are so often used as sleeping rooms when there are guests. These occupants deserve the same protection as afforded for those occupying regular sleeping rooms as discussed in the next paragraph. The requirement for emergency escape and egress openings in sleeping rooms is because a fire will usually have spread before the occupants are aware of the problem, and the normal exit channels will most likely be blocked. The dimensions prescribed in the code, and as illustrated in Figure No. 12 -1 (page 110) for exterior wall openings used for emergency egress and rescue, are based on extensive testing by the San Diego Building and Fire Departments to determine the proper relationships of height and width of window opening to adequately serve for both rescue and escape. The minimum of 20 inches for the width was based on two criteria: the width necessary to place a ladder within the window opening and, secondly, the width necessary to admit a firefighter with full rescue equipment. The minimum 24 -inch height dimension was based on the minimum necessary to admit a firefighter with full rescue equipment. It is the intent of the code that the windows required for emergency escape or rescue be located on the exterior of the building so that rescue can be effected from the exterior or, alternatively, so that the occupants may escape from that window to the exterior of the building without having to travel through the building itself. If these windows open into an interior court, the court must have an exit passageway, as defined in Chapter 33, which provides access to the public way. As stated in the code, these windows used for emergency escape or r rescue must be operable windows. The intent is that they be of the usual double -hung, horizontal sliding or casement windows operated by the -- turn of a crank. The building official should evaluate special types of windows other than those just described based on the difficulty of operating or removing the windows. If no more effort is required than that required for the three types of windows just enumerated, they could be approved as meeting the intent of the code as long as no tools, special knowledge or effort are required. The ever - increasing concern for security, particularly in residential buildings, has created a fairly large demand for security devices such as grilles, bars and steel shutters. Unless properly designed and constructed, these security devices over bedroom windows can completely defeat the purpose of the emergency escape and rescue window. Therefore, the U.B.C. makes provisions for security devices, provided the release mechanism has been approved and is operable from the inside without the use of a key or special knowledge. Furthermore, the code requires that in this case the building be equipped with smoke detectors in accordance with this chapter. A recent (1985) fire death in southern California was attributed to the inability of the individual to escape from the building because the security bars prevented emergency escape. The very essence of the requirement for emergency escape windows is that a person must be able to effect escape or be rescued in a short period of time because in all probability the fire will have spread to the point where all other exit routes are blocked. Thus, time cannot be wasted to figure out means of opening rescue windows or obtaining egress through them. Thus, any impediment to escape or rescue caused by security devices, inadequate window size, difficult operating mechanisms, etc., is not permitted by the code. • • No. 0 S BUILDING PERMIT CARD Date 613ole,s Job Address 10.62.0 e42a41 Paw, alaise RWit Owner �i A�it.` (AAA) (Ages Lj 4 ' Phone # Contractor Address Phone`# - Tax ID No. of Parcel Zoning Setbacks: Front Rear 'RH LH INSPECTIONS Soils Test Weatherproofing Footing Heating /Ventilation Foundation Electrical Rough (State Underground Plumbing Electrical Final (St te) ' Rough Plumbing o - /0 Final 7 6 3���BG a Framing c7 K to „' , ?iv Certificate /O cy # /�i0 Roofing Date / Grout Insulation Septic System # Drywall 1 .-wc ��Jgt, ,/ Date v C 6 '67 i Final - , e,m, i /a54 Other 4240244- 7 / 46 ; 4 a NOTES MACCe, 0? f tW t s( cAktAkAA- Rtr (continue on back) MAR -01 -9S 06:47 TEL: P:02 Frank Nisley Jr. and Associates IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY The property to be appraised in this report consists of land and improve - { meats located at 1252 County Road 294, Rifle, Colorado.

By: Art Hougland Date: February 28, 1995 Subject: Site visit resulting from call by Michael Smith of Woodsmith Construction regarding construction that was underway without a building permit issued by Garfield County. Observations and information obtained during site visit and research of Garfield County Building and Planning Department files: 1. The facility is being used to house more than twenty teenagers as a residential child care facility and is licensed by the State of Colorado. 2. The facility was issued a certificate of occupancy on October 23, 1986 as a child care facility. The permit for construction ( #3265) was issued on May 30, 1986. The Occupancy Group was identified as R -1. The Type of construction was identified as V- one hour. The total sq. ft. of the building was listed at 14,640. 3. The exit doors from the dormatory/bedroom area are equipped with time delay exiting hardware and are set for approximately a twenty second delay before the door opens. 4. The building is not equipped with a complete automatic fire sprinkler system however, there are smoke detectors and pull stations located throughout the building. I do not know the extent and type of installation because I did not investigate it. 5. Cooking facilities are provided for in the building on the first floor level. 6. Upstairs windows were not escape /rescue windows and openable windows were of the awning type. These windows were equipped with short pieces of chain that would restrict the opening to prevent persons from getting through the window. 7. Some plans have been drafted indicating changes to the second floor. These changes include construction of some bed rooms without windows and without provisions for ventilation 8. One exit on the East side of the second floor was to an exterior open wooden stair. The other end of the corridor was opened to a stair to the first floor corridor. 3 -( -9s N( s� - coo /or W7 / ,9 r✓v ti b eee e n frC. /°l//r R2v,RN/ . o ccurgNcY q���ar i H a? w� „ p,�,r crc r Gs: oV (e) lS G2ooe 1-3 cot c no rival rry Frn nort7 re c. to twit doyn.O r on/JOo rmra [?oi9no of tne ern /r'n O/ 4 4eAV ;rr -r LxrT , vres'fc.L 70 cq«. r2 • Qvrtnor'r RCI�/yi2C TU CIZI R'CQp,aff r t tN?

New to the 1988 U.B.C., this subsection introduces a degree of security to an exit door from a Group B, Division 2 Occupancy by allowing the use of a door that has an egress - control device with a built -in time delay under specific conditions and when approved by the local building official. In the special provisions of this section, it must be emphasized that under the conditions imposed, and within the reliability of the automatic systems required, there will be no delay whatsoever at the exit in an actual fire emergency —the door will be immediately openable. Special egress - control device conditions. There are several conditions which should be emphasized at the outset. 1. First, the approval of the building official must be obtained in order to permit the installation of any such special egress - control device. 2. Such devices may be used only in connection with Group B, Division 2 Occupancies. In addition, the entire building in which the special egress - control device is installed must be completely protected throughout by both an approved automatic sprinkler system and an approved automatic smoke - detection system. The device must immediately and automatically deactivate on activation of the sprinkler system or detection system and on the Toss of electrical power to the egress - control device, to the smoke - detection system or to the exit illumination required by Section 331 3. There must also be a way of manually deactivating the egress - control device by the operation of a switch located in an approved location. When the operating device is activated, it must initiate an irreversible process that will cause the egress - control device to deactivate whenever a manual force of not more than 15 pounds is applied for a minimum period of two seconds to the operating hardware. The irreversible process must achieve the deactivation of the device within a time period of not more than 1 5 seconds from the time the operating hardware is originally activated. In order to assure that the time period will not exceed 1 seconds, the code specifies that the egress - control device shall be so constructed that it is not possible to adjust the time period in the field. Upon activation of the operating hardware, an audible signal shall be initiated at the door so that the person attempting to exit the building will be aware that the irreversible process has been started. At the expiration of the 1 5-second time period or on automatic deactivation by any of the required systems, the unlatching of the door shall not require more than a single operation. So that the person seeking egress can be informed as to the type and nature of the egress - control device, there is to be a sign installed on the door within 12 inches of the operating hardware. The sign must read KEEP PUSHING, THIS DOOR WILL OPEN IN ____ SECONDS. ALARM WILL SOUND. In spite of the words "keep pushing," it should be noted that the irreversible process will be commenced when the operating hardware has been depressed for a period not exceeding 2 seconds, therefore it is not absolutely necessary to "keep pushing" in order that the door can be unlatched. The required sign shall be in letters having a height of at least 1 inch and a thickness of stroke of not less than 1 /8 inch. Egress - control device reactivation. The code emphasizes that, regardless of the means of deactivation, relocking of the egress - control device shall only be by manual means at the door. This requirement ensures that in order to relock the egress - control device, someone must go to the door itself, verify that the emergency no longer exists and only thereafter relock the door by manual means. The inclusion in the U.B.C. of a provision addressing this device is an initial step toward minimally recognizing and satisfying some need for building security. These devices have been in use around the country for several years. To date, the author is unaware of a single adverse incident involving one of these devices. As this type of track record continues, in all probability the time period of the delay can be increased, since as can be seen from all of the conditions imposed, should there be a fire emergency, there is no delay and the egress - controlled door is immediately openable. Chapter 12 REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUP R OCCUPANCIES Group R Occupancies are residential occupancies and are characterized by: • Use by people for living and sleeping purposes. • Relatively low potential fire severity. " • The worst fire record of all structure fires.' The basic premise of the provisions in Chapter 12 is that the occupants of residential buildings will be spending one third of the day asleep and that the potential for a fire getting out of control before the occupants are awake is quite probable. Furthermore, once awakened, the occupants will be somewhat confused and disorientated, particularly those in hotels. Group R Occupancies Defined — Section 1201 It may be of interest to examine the BCMC descriptions of residential occupancies so as to better understand the U.B.C. classifications. The BCMC residential occupancy classification is divided into three subdivisions: • Group R, Division 1— Transient residential —such as hotels and motels. • Group R, Division 2— Multiple dwellings —such as apartment houses, convents and monasteries. • Group R, Division 3 —One- and two - family dwellings. These subdivisions are based on occupant density as well as the occupants' familiarity with their surroundings. Therefore, hotels, motels and similar uses in which the occupants are essentially transients are separated from apartment houses. This reason is lack of familiarity with their surroundings exhibited by the occupants of hotels. This in turn leads to confusion and disorientation when a fire occurs while the occupants are asleep. However, the U.B.C. lumps motels, hotels, and apartment houses, convents and monasteries into Division 1 Occupancies, and essentially this grouping is based on occupant density. As this grouping has existed since the 1927 edition of the U.B.C., the ICBO membership has elected to continue this combination, rather than divide apartment houses and hotels into separate divisions as in the BCMC classification. Added in the 1991 edition, congregate residences each accommodating more than 10 persons are defined in Chapter 4 and included in the Division 1 Occupancy classification. Congregate residences accommodating 10 or fewer persons are classified as Division. 3 Occupancies as they most nearly resemble such uses. Division 2 is not used by the U.B.C. and Division 3 is assigned to dwellings, lodging houses and congregate residences (each accommodating 10 persons or less). As defined in Chapter 4, a dwelling is any building containing no more than two dwelling units. The lodging house is defined as a building containing not more than five guest rooms. The lodging house is incorporated into Division. 3 as it is assumed that the number of guests will be low due to the restriction of five guest rooms. Also, the occupants of lodging houses generally remain as tenants longer than as is the case in hotels, so they are also fairly familiar with their environment. In the case of Group R, Division 3 Occupancies, the code makes provision for the adoption of the CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code,' which, if adopted through Appendix Chapter 12, takes precedence over the requirements of the U.B.C. This type of language is necessary, as there are many provisions of the One and Two Family Dwelling Code which conflict with those of the U.B.C. Also, this adoption procedure is placed into the U.B.C. in order to encourage uniformity of construction requirements for one- and two - family dwellings nationwide. Construction, Height and Allowable Area — Section 1202 It will be noted from the perusal of Tables Nos. 5 -C and 5 -D that the code places more restrictive requirements on Division 1 Occupancies than it does on Division 3 Occupancies. This is consistent with the intent of the code that the hazard be roughly in accordance with the occupant density. Furthermore, the special provisions of Section 1202 (b) also require more fire protection in Division 1 Occupancies with large area above the first story and those three stories or more in height, regardless of area. Again, these provisions are based on the fact that the Division 1 Occupancy has a greater density of occupants, and therefore the code considers the hazard to be greater. The fire record, however, belies the relative hazards of residential occupancies as established by the U.B.C. The fire record would seem to indicate that hotels are the safest of residential buildings and one- and two - family dwellings are the most hazardous. Based on the number of fatalities and injuries, the number of buildings involved, and the dollar fire loss, the one- and two - family dwelling would seem to be the most h.a7ardous occupancy of all However, the best answer to this seeming anomaly is that the Building Code provisions do, in fact, ameliorate the relatively greater hazard of the apartment house and hotel, and therefore the fire losses are lower in those occupancies. Also, the fact that the dwelling, as compared to other occupancies, is relatively unregulated by the code, must also have an effect on the seeming contradiction. Furthermore, the far greater number of dwellings as related to other structures most certainly has an effect on the fire loss statistics and creates the impression of an excessive fire hazard in dwellings. Sec. 1202. (b) Special Provisions. Section 1202 (b) has special provisions for the construction of Group R, Division 1 Occupancies. First is a requirement for walls and floors separating units to be of one -hour fire- resistive construction. This provides a modified tenant separation (openings do not require protection) which is necessary as it protects the occupants of one unit from the actions of their neighbors. See also discussion which follows regarding Section 1705 (b) 2. Secondly, Division 1 Occupancies more than two stories in height or having more than 3,000 square feet of floor area above the first story must be of at least Type II One -hour, Type III One -hour or Type V One -hour construction. The code intends that Group R, Division 1 Occupancies housed in protected types of construction such as those just enumerated contain desirable features, such as fire - resistive compartmentation, which help prevent the spread of fire. Section 1705 (b) 2 has exceptions to the requirement which requires one -hour fire - resistive construction throughout and will be discussed later in Chapter 17. Suffice it to say that the exceptions still provide for a degree of compartmentation by requiring one -hour fire- resistive construction around each dwelling unit or guest room in a Group R, Division 1 Occupancy. Access and Exit Facilities and Emergency Escapes— Section 1204 Because so many fire deaths occur as the result of the occupants of residential buildings being asleep at the time of a fire, the U.B.C. requires that basements in dwelling units and all sleeping rooms below the fourth story have windows or doors which may be used for emergency escape or rescue. The reason for the requirement in basements is that they are so often used as sleeping rooms when there are guests. These occupants deserve the same protection as afforded for those occupying regular sleeping rooms as discussed in the next paragraph. The requirement for emergency escape and egress openings in sleeping rooms is because a fire will usually have spread before the occupants are aware of the problem, and the normal exit channels will most likely be blocked. The dimensions prescribed in the code, and as illustrated in Figure No. 12 -1 (page 1.10) for exterior wall openings used for emergency egress and rescue, are based on extensive testing by the San Diego Building and Fire Departments to determine the proper relationships of height and width of window opening to adequately serve for both rescue and escape. The minimum. of 20 inches for the width was based on two criteria: the width necessary to place a ladder within the window opening and, secondly, the width necessary to admit a firefighter with full rescue equipment. The minimum 24 -inch height dimension was based on the minimum necessary to admit a firefighter with full rescue equipment. It is the intent of the code that the windows required for emergency escape or rescue be located on the exterior of the building so that rescue can be effected from the exterior or, alternatively, so that the occupants may escape from that window to the exterior of the building without having to travel through the building itself. If these windows open into an interior court, the court must have an exit passageway, as defined in Chapter 33, which provides access to the public way. As stated in the code, these windows used for emergency escape or rescue must be operable windows. The intent is that they be of the usual double -hung, horizontal sliding or casement windows operated by the turn of a crank. The building official should evaluate special types of windows other than those just described based on the difficulty of operating or removing the windows. If no more effort is required than that required for the three types of windows just enumerated, they could be approved as meeting the intent of the code as long as no tools, special knowledge or effort are required. The ever - increasing concem for security, particularly in residential buildings, has created a fairly large demand for security devices such as grilles, bars and steel shutters. Unless properly designed and constructed, these security devices over bedroom windows can completely defeat the purpose of the emergency escape and rescue window. Therefore, the U.B.C. makes provisions for security devices, provided the release mechanism has been approved and is operable from the inside without the use of a key or special knowledge. Furthermore, the code requires that in this case the building be equipped with smoke detectors in accordance with this chapter. A recent (1985) fire death in southern California was attributed to the inability of the individual to escape from the building because the security bars prevented emergency escape. The very essence of the requirement for emergency escape windows is that a person must be able to effect escape or be rescued in a short period of time because in all probability the fire will have spread to the point where all other exit routes are blocked. Thus, time cannot be wasted to figure out means of opening rescue windows or obtaining egress through them. Thus, any impediment to escape or rescue caused by security devices, inadequate window size, difficult operating mechanisms, etc., is not permitted by the code. Light, Ventilation and Sanitation— Section 1205 The light and ventilation requirements in this section of the U.B.C. and, in fact, in other model codes as well, are carryovers from the beginning of this century when conditions in tenement houses were pitiful at best and downright unhealthy in most cases. As a result, New York City, for example, developed its "Tenement House Law" in 1901, which later became known as the "Multiple Dwelling Law." This law was specifically intended to ameliorate the unsanitary and unhealthful conditions existing in the tenement houses of that period. Thus, requirements for light and ventilation, room size, ceiling height, etc., came into being. As other agencies, such as ICBO's forerunner, the Pacific Coast Building Officials Conference, developed building regulations, these requirements carried over from the New York Tenement House Law and found their way into other codes. These requirements have been modified somewhat over the years and expanded, but the intent today is the same as the original intent, which is to provide healthful, livable conditions in residential buildings. The Uniform Building Code requires that habitable rooms (which are rooms used for living, sleeping and food preparation, as defined in Section 409) have natural light provided by exterior wall openings. The minimum requirement is for an opening of 10 square feet for any room 100 square feet or less in area. For rooms larger than 100 square feet in area, the requirement is for 10 percent of the floor area to be provided in exterior wall openings. The area of the exterior wall openings is computed based on the nominal size of the opening and not the net glazed area for windows and fully glazed doors. Where doors are only partially glazed, the net glazed area would be used to compute the amount of opening provided for light. All habitable rooms are required by the code to have ventilation, and where exterior wall openings are used to provide ventilation, the requirement is for one -half the amount used for natural light. The code also requires that bathrooms, laundry rooms, water closet compartments and similar spaces be ventilated, and the minimum amount is 1 1/2 square feet. Although public corridors do not require natural light, they do require exit lighting as required in Chapter 33, and furthermore, the code requires that public corridors be provided with ventilation. The code permits mechanical ventilation to be substituted for natural ventilation, and the requirement is to provide two air changes per hour, with one fifth of the air supply taken from the outside for all guest rooms, dormitories, habitable rooms and public corridors. For bathrooms, water closet compartments, laundry rooms, etc., the mechanical ventilation system is required to be connected directly to the outside and capable of providing five air changes per hour. Bathrooms which contain only a water closet or water closet and lavatory may utilize an approved mechanical recirculating fan which is designed to remove odors from the air. The code considers that bathtubs and showers generate sufficient moisture so that an openable window or mechanical ventilation system connected directly to the outside is required. Where openable windows are used, the code requires that they face onto a street, public alley, yard or court located on the same lot as the building. However, required windows may be skylights or may open onto a porch under the circumstances outlined in the exceptions to Section 1205 (a). In keeping with the intent of the code to provide healthful, livable living conditions in residential buildings, Section 1205 (b) requires certain minimum sanitary facilities for residential buildings. Hotels must have at least one water closet for each sex when public water closet compartments are furnished. Dwelling units require a minimum of a kitchen equipped with a kitchen sink and a bathroom provided with a water closet, lavatory and either a bathtub or shower. Lodging houses and congregate residences require at least one bathroom provided with a water closet, lavatory and either a bathtub or shower. The sinks, bathtubs, showers and lavatories are also required to be equipped with hot and cold running water necessary for their normal use. The use of the word "normal" intends that bar sinks, for example, need not be provided with hot water, as hot water is not necessary for their normal use. Yards and Courts— Section 1206 The Uniform Building Code contains provisions for yards and courts where they are used to provide light and ventilation for exterior openings in the building. Most modern-day zoning ordinances also have requirements for yards and courts, and quite often these are more than adequate to provide the light and ventilation required by the code. To be considered as providing adequate light and ventilation, each yard or court must have a minimum width of 3 feet with eaves limited as discussed in Section 504. In addition, these yards and courts must be increased in width, depending on the height of the building. The intent for the tall building is to have an increased court width so that light coming into the court will be able to reach the lower stories of the building, and this is only possible where the width of the court is in proper relationship to the height of the court. The requirements in the code are an obvious compromise between optimum light at the bottom of a court and the need to build as much building area on the property as practicable for economic purposes. Inner courts which are enclosed by the walls of the buildings, sometimes referred to as lightwells, obviously need some means to remove accumulated trash at the bottom and also a means to provide circulation of air for ventilation purposes. In keeping with this intent, the code requires that an air intake be provided at the bottom of courts for buildings more than two stories in height and also requires that all courts be provided with access for cleaning. Room Dimensions— Section 1207 Room size, tightness of construction, minimum ceiling height, number of occupants and ventilation all interact with each other to establish the interior living environment insofar as odors and moisture are concemed. Therefore, the U.B.C. regulates room sizes to assist in maintaining a comfortable interior environment, and the minimum room sizes become increasingly important as buildings become ever tighter in their construction due to energy conservation requirements. Section 1207 (a) regulates ceiling heights not only to assist in maintaining a comfortable indoor living environment, but also to provide safety for the occupants of the dwelling. As our population becomes increasingly taller, it is important that tall individuals be able to move about without striking projections from the ceiling with their heads. The basic requirement for a smooth ceiling of relatively constant height is that the ceiling height not be less than 7 feet 6 inches for habitable space (see definition of habitable space in Section 409). Kitchens, baths, halls, etc., may have a ceiling height less than 7 feet 6 inches, but under no circumstances may it be less than 7 feet measured to the lowest projection from the ceiling. For those ceilings having exposed beams which project down from the ceiling surface, there are two criteria: 1. Where the ceiling beam members are spaced closer than 48 inches on center, the ceiling height of 7 feet 6 inches is measured to the bottom of these members. 2. Where the exposed beam ceiling members are spaced at 48 inches or more on center, the minimum ceiling height of 7 feet 6 inches is measured to the bottom of the ceiling deck which is supported by the beams. However, in no case shall the bottom of the members be less than 7 feet above the floor. For rooms with sloping ceilings, the code requires only that the prescribed ceiling height be maintained in one -half the area of the room. However, no portion of the room which has a ceiling height of Less than 5 feet shall be used in the computations for minimum floor area. In the case of a room with a furred ceiling, the code requires the prescribed ceiling height in two thirds of the area and, as in all cases for projections below the ceiling, the furred area may not be less than 7 feet above the floor. The provisions of Section 1207 (b) and (c), limiting the minimum sizes of rooms, apply to habitable rooms except for kitchens. Thus, kitchens, water closet compartments, bathrooms, utility rooms, janitor closets, hallways, etc., have no minimum size or area. Smoke Detectors and Sprinkler Systems— Section 1210 As indicated in the introduction to this chapter, residential fire deaths far exceed those of any other building classification. Furthermore, more than one half of the fire deaths which occur in residential buildings have occurred because of a delay in detection due to the occupants being asleep at the time of the fire. Thus, the U.B.C. requires smoke detectors in all residential buildings. For Group R Occupancies, the code has a unique provision of retroactivity. Where any addition or repair work exceeds $1,000 or where one or more sleeping rooms are added, the code requires that the entire building be provided with smoke detectors located as required for new • buildings. This provision is intended to speed up the installation of smoke detectors in residential buildings, as they have proven to be very effective in the reduction of fire deaths. By having these retroactive -type provisions, it is felt that the number of fire deaths per year will be even more drastically curtailed and thousands of lives will be saved annually as a result. In general, the code requires that smoke detectors receive their power from the building wiring with a battery backup, except for installation of smoke detectors in existing buildings or in buildings regulated by the retroactive provisions just described. In these latter cases, detectors may be battery operated. An important feature of the requirement for detectors being connected into the building's electrical wiring is that there shall be no disconnecting means other than the primary overcurrent protection. See Figure No. 12 -2 (page 115). Moreover, the code requires that smoke detectors be centrally located in each sleeping room and on the ceiling or wall of the corridor or area giving access to sleeping rooms. Where sleeping rooms are on an upper floor, the code requires the detector to be placed on the ceiling in close proximity to the stairway. See Figure No. 12 -3 (page 116). This requirement is based on the fact that any fire initiating on the lower floors will send products of combustion up the stairway, and this position above the stairway will give the earliest warning to the occupants of sleeping rooms on the upper floor. Where high, vaulted ceilings of living rooms and entries adjoin halls, they act as a reservoir for smoke, and this will delay the response of hallway detectors. Therefore, detectors are required in these adjacent rooms to ensure quick response and early warning. In addition, for buildings with basements, a detector must be installed in the basement where the basement has a stairway communicating with the dwelling. In this case, the detector alarm must be audible in the sleeping area. Fire Alarm Systems— Section 1211 When asleep, the occupants of residential buildings will usually be unaware of a fire, and it will have an opportunity to spread before being detected. As a result, more than one out of two fire deaths occurring in residential buildings have occurred because of this delay in detection. It is for this reason that Section 121 requires fire alarm systems in certain residential buildings in addition to smoke detectors. Thus, apartment houses three or more stories in height or those containing 16 or more dwelling units, hotels three or more stories in height or those containing 20 or more guest rooms, and congregate residences three or more stories in height or having an occupant load of 20 or more are required to have an approved fire alarm system. Note that a building less than three stories in height will require a fire alarm system if as an apartment house it contains more than 15 dwelling units or as a hotel it contains 20 or more guest rooms. Consequently, there is an exception for apartment houses less than three stories in height from the requirement for fire alarm systems where all dwelling units are completely separated by a one -hour fire- resistive occupancy separation and each dwelling unit has an exit directly to a yard or public way. This exception is based on the compartmentation provided by the separations between units and by the relatively rapid means of exit available to the occupants. In view of the provisions of Section 3802 (h), and the second exception to Section 1.211, very few buildings will require fire alarm systems. These will be buildings of a size requiring fire alarm systems, but divided by area separation walls so that sprinklers will not be required. Special Hazards— Section 1213 As stated earlier in this handbook, it is the intent of the code to separate various uses and hazards with fire - resistive occupancy separations. The intent, of course, is to prevent the spread of fire. In this section, the U.B.C. is concerned with special hazards, such as flammable liquids and boiler rooms. Combustible or flammable liquids are required by the U.B.C. to be stored and handled in accordance with the Uniform Fire Code. There is also a special requirement for doors leading from Division. 1. Occupancies into rooms where Class I (the more volatile) flammable liquids are used or stored. In addition to the requirement for a one -hour fire- protection rating for the protective assembly, the code also requires that it be self - closing and be posted with a sign on each side of the door stating FIRE DOOR —KEEP CLOSED. Boiler rooms and central heating systems (those which serve more than the room in which located) are required by the code to be separated from the rest of a Division. 1 Occupancy building by a one -hour fire- resistive occupancy separation. Where the equipment only serves one dwelling unit, the code does not require the fire - resistive occupancy separation. REFERENCES 'American Iron and Steel Institute (1981).

WestAc03.95 Group !Occupancies Defined — Section 1001 Except for the Division 3 Occupancies which include penal institutions and other uses where the personal liberties of the inmates are restricted, the other Group I Occupancies are defined as accommodating more than five persons. Therefore, the building official is presented with a problem of properly classifying an occupancy which is of similar nature to the Group I Occupancy except that there are fewer than five occupants. These cases will be discussed as they arise. The Division 3 uses encompass mental hospitals, jails, prisons, reformatories and other buildings where the personal liberties of the inmates are similarly restricted. In the case of Division 3 Occupancies, there is no qualifier as to the minimum number of inmates. The exception at the end of the section applies to all of the kinds of care and restraint associated with Group I Occupancies. It intends to avoid the impression of institutional code restrictions on private residential buildings. See also Appendix Chapter 12, Division II. Division II REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUP R, DIVISION 4 OCCUPANCIES Many jurisdictions feel the need for code provisions which apply to residential group care facilities. These types of facilities can run the gamut from child care through care of the infirm and disabled. However, in Division II of Appendix Chapter 12, the residential group care facility is defined as group care for ambulatory, nonrestrained persons (note that there is no age criteria) who may have a mental or physical impairment. Also, the facility is further qualified by the number of "clients or residents" but exclusive of the facility staff The requirements in this division are a combination of the requirements of Chapter 12 in the body of the code for both Group R, Division 1 and Group R, Division 3 occupants, although in some instances the requirements in this division are more restrictive. Even though the occupants are ambulatory, they may be physically impaired and may at one time or another require assistance from the facility staff to properly exit the building. Therefore, these requirements are somewhat more restrictive in the following areas: • Section 1224 (a) limits this occupancy to a maximum of two stories in height. Also the basic floor area is limited to 3,000 square feet, although increases permitted in Sections 505, 506 and 507 are allowed. • Section 1224 (b) is similar in concept to Section 1202 (b) in the body of the code as it limits the area above the first story to 3,000 square feet unless the building is of at least one -hour fire- resistive construction throughout. • Section 1224 (c) provides special occupancy separations between Group R, Division 4 Occupancies and other occupancies. Exception 2 to this subsection is identical to Exception 3 to Section 503 (d) in the body of the code relating to Group R, Division 3 Occupancies. • Section 1225 is virtually identical to the requirements for Group R, Division 3 Occupancies in the body of the code. • Section 1226 has more restrictive requirements for number of exits and exit travel, and this is understandable due to the nature of the occupants. As a result, two exits are required from any story or basement, regardless of the occupant Load, and the maximum travel distance to exits is limited to 50 percent of that permitted in Chapter 33. Furthermore, emergency exit illumination is required. • The remainder of this division, Sections 1227 through 1234, contain requirements which are similar to those in the body of the code. Construction, Height and Allowable Azea— Section 1002 Because the patients and inmates of institutional occupancies will not be able to evacuate the building in case of emergency, it is important that fires not be permitted to start, or altematively, if fires do start, rapid suppression is required, such as by automatic sprinklers. In this respect, the code secures these desirable aspects of protection in institutional occupancies by restrictions on types of construction, area and by the requirements for special fire - protection features, such as automatic sprinklers and compartmentation. A perusal of Table No. 5 -C will show that all institutional occupancies must be housed in protected buildings (i.e., those with a minimum of one -hour fire- resistive construction throughout). In the case of Division 3 Occupancies, construction types are limited to Type I or Type II -F.R. construction. The reader will also note that except for Type I or Type II -F.R. construction, the heights of all institutional buildings are limited to one and two stories. Even in the case of a Type II-F.R. building, the height is restricted to three stories for Divisions 1.1, 1.2 and 2 Occupancies and restricted to two stories for Division 3 Occupancies. However, Exception 2 to Section 1002 (a) permits a sprinklered hospital or nursing home classified as a Group I, Division 1.1 Occupancy to be five stories high and, when housed in a Type II one -hour building, to be three stories high. Furthermore, Exception 3 permits a hospital or nursing home to be in a one -story sprinklered Type II -N building. Because vertical evacuation of a building such as a hospital is a virtual impossibility in case of fire, multistory buildings are required to have higher types of protection such as are provided by Type I and Type II -F.R. buildings. Horizontal evacuation, on the other hand, is possible with a properly trained staff. As a result, the code makes provisions for horizontal compartmentation as illustrated in Figure No. 10 -1 (page 105), so that if necessary, patients can be moved from one compartment to another. This intent is secured by Section 1002 (b) wherein each story of a Division 1 Occupancy is required to be divided into two approximately equal compartments by a smoke barrier with a one -hour fire - resistive rating. As smoke is the real killer in fires, the code requires, in addition to the one -hour fire resistance, that the partition be essentially smoketight. This would be a partition constructed with similar tightness as that described in Chapter 8 for educational occupancies. The code intends that there be no openings in this smoke -stop partition except for duct openings and corridor openings where the partition crosses a corridor. The doors in the portion of the partition which crosses the corridor are required to be 20- minute -rated smoke- and draft- control assemblies such as required by Section 3305 (h) or horizontal sliding doors that comply with U.B.C. Standard 43 -13. Ducts are required to be protected with smoke - detector - activated fire dampers in the plane of the partition. The dampers shall be approved to resist passage of smoke. Chapter 10 DETENTION AND CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES An Appendix Chapter 10 on the construction of detention and correctional facilities has been added to the 1991 edition as these Group I, Division 3 Occupancies are unique from other occupancy types of Chapter 10. Lock -up facilities are designed with security as the primary concern. This new appendix chapter allows the designer some flexibility, yet offers sound fire protection for the building and safety for the incarcerated.

Box 1342 Rifle, Colorado 81650 Subject: Alterations currently underway at Western Academy. Dear Mr. Evans: 1 appreciate you and Michael Smith of Woodsmith Construction meeting with me yesterday at your facility and showing me what work is in progress and what you have planned. I also appreciate you taking the time to come to this office in the afternoon and submit an application for a building permit. It is unfortunate that I was not contacted early in your planning for this alteration because 1 could have assisted you in the procedures and the process for such a project. Colorado State Statute; 30 -28 -205 prohibits my issuance of a permit unless the plans and specifications for this project bear the signature and seal of an architect or engineer licensed by the State of Colorado working within his or her discipline or subdiscipline. C.R.S. 12 -4 -112 provides criteria for exemptions from the requirement of C.R.S 30 -28 -205 but in my interpretation, your facility would not be exempted. As currently operated your facility is classified as a Group I, Division 3 Occupancy. This group includes mental hospitals, jails, prisons, reformatories and other buildings where the personal liberties of inmates are similarly restricted. The incorporation of devices that are permitted only in a Group B, Division 2 Occupancy protected by a complete approved automatic fire sprinkler system and an approved automatic smoke - detection system as well as other criteria not incorporated in your facility, along with other criteria establish the I -3 occupancy group. I did call and speak with Mr. Apodaca, Chief Engineer with the International Conference of Building Officials to confirm this point. If the Special Egress- Control devices were not in use another group occupancy could be considered but none that would be exempt from the requirement of an architect stamp and signature. I hope you can understand that I cannot authorize you to continue work on this project until appropriate plans have been prepared, stamped and signed by a Colorado licensed architect, submitted to this department and a permit issued. I also cannot authorize the continued use of the Special Egress - Control devices in this facility. I am truly sorry that demolition work has already begun, 1 am sure that stopping construction at this juncture will compromise the much needed service that you provide. 109 8TH STREET, SUITE 303 - 945 - 82121625- 5571/285 -7972 GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO 81601 r The Uniform Building Code, Section 204 as adopted by Garfield County provides for appeals of orders, decisions or determinations of the building official relative to the application and interpretation of the code. I will provide you with more information on this at your request. If you have any questions regarding my decisions about this project, your operation or your facility please contact me. I will help you in any way that I can within the limit of my responsibility and authority. Thanks for your cooperation and communication.
