#C2 ..:. 1812 North HiQhland Avenue: Grace Lutheran Church. Owner: Collman' &
Karskv Associates. Representative" Request permission to relocate exhaust fan HEF-1
flush to exterior non-combustible wall at Parcel 02-29-15-00000-320-1200.
"BAA 01-07
Collman & Karsky Associates representative Ned Stacy discussed aesthetic
issues related to the completed project, which renovated the church's fellowship hall
, and kitchen. The exhaust ,fan has a vertical draft. He said the surface, under the
, eaves and ab~ve,the fan, can be covered with a UL listed blanket and wrapped with a
metal tube. He said the fan is 10 feet from combustible material. The exhaust fan
, extends from the wall and is unattractive.. He said the beam above the eaves is
considered heavy th"ber. He requested permission to relocate the exhaust fan so tha't
it is flush with the exterior wall. ,If a fire occurs, he said ,the fan has an electric
disconnect. Mr. Stacy said no problems with grease buildup will occur, as the church
only holds put luck ,dinners.
, (f,;(~
"?\'il\ Fire Marshal Randy Hinder said he had not had sufficient time to evaluate the
proposal. He expressed concern the proposed design would not be sufficient as fire
could wrap over the soffet and quickly spread and heat could be transferred to the
wood. Building Construction Inspector Bill Phillips indicated the City could not assume
a grease buildup would not occur in the future. Building Official Kevin Garriott said the
Code does not address one-hour wraps and the mechanical code does not address
side-mounted fans. Discussion ensued regarding combustion issues related to the
fan's location'. It was recommended the architects and staff work together on a
, '
solution.
'r,
,~
Member Shah moved to postpone a decision related to the requested relocation
of the fan at1812 North Highland Avenue to provide time for Fire Department and
Building Department officials to consider the mechanical aspects of the request and
work with the representatives toward a solution. The motion was duly seconded and
carried ,~nanimously.
