Inspections/Building Code Reviewers: 
 
Please note that the plans that are in e-plan (elevations) are the ones that were approved by the Planning Board.
 
In addition to a condition requiring some on- street alterations (see attached approval letter) please note that the Fire Department requested a condition of site plan approval and I think the same conditions would apply to the building permit::

             i.      That the applicant shall address the particular technical Fire Prevention standards, as outlined in the e-mail from Captain Chris Pirone of the Fire Department dated June 6, 2013, to the satisfaction of the Fire Department prior to the issuance of a building permit; and

June 6, 2013 Fire Dept comments:
Jean,
 
Here are Fire Comments which are technical and you may not need for your report. As for site plan there are no comments for fire as there are sufficient hydrants and existing/approved access.
 
Fire Comments:
 
1.The Fire Protection Engineer will be responsible for the design of the fire protection systems.
 
2.The Fire Protection Engineer shall be present when the installing contractors perform the final commissioning (testing) of the fire protection systems and issue a second stamped letter that they observed the final commissioning of the systems and the systems are installed and function as required by the pertinent codes, standards, and regulations.  Fire protection systems include, but are not limited to: fire alarm, sprinkler, standpipe systems and other suppression system equipment. 
 
3.The In-Building Radio Enhancement System will have to be commissioned by the designer of that system with documentation of its compliance and performance in accordance with NFPA 1 Annex O. This system shall be monitored by the fire alarm system and the design must be coordinated with the Fire Protection Engineer designing the fire alarm system.

*NFPA 3 Recommended Practice For Commissioning and Integrated Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems is a new(2012) NFPA document and its intent is to make life easier for building owners, contractors, designers, and AHJ's.

Hi All,
A permit for fitting up a construction office for the forth coming permit to add this addition has been received by this office. So this is just a heads up that the next permit we will be getting real soon is for the actual expansion.  At the time that we get the actual construction permit, I will be e-mailing again to get the OK to issue that permit.
