P`i r""y A Preli►nina�y Approval was issued by the PlanninS DePartment on December 23, 1986. Condition #2 requued a 2U-foot-wide easement with 14 feet of paving. On or about Apri14, 1987, Mr. Brandvold came to see me to request that the requirement for the 14 feet of paving be revised to "lwo 30-inch concreted strips". I informed hun at the time that an alternahve to the standard requirem�nt would be acceptable if the structures takinS access from the easement were provided a"residential spcinkler system." He agreed to such a condition; and on April7th of the same year, he mad�e a formal request for same m wnting. As a result of !ris wntten request, I notified the Planning DePartment by memorandum on ppril7th of the agreement. On or shortly after June 1, 1987, I received a copy of a memorandum to file by Robert I,audles of the Planning Department. The memo laid out the condihons for the "two coucrete strips"• I do not recall any furtt►er action on this proposal ui►til lace in 1992 Whe° Mr• J°el Bergsagel came to mY office to inquire about condihons that miSht have been set down for the shoR plat. After considerable searctung, I was at;� to recover our copy of the original review. A'1 of the above is a review of the circumstances swrounding the proposal in qnestion. The posi�on of tk►e Everett FireDep artment remains d►e same. If the easement access is to be [�ompromised (reducing the eff`ective driving surface), a residential sprinkler syscem must be rovided in the structures takinS access from ihe easement. The size of the structures int o�e° rotection regulafio az'�e reduced, ther�e istneady yalways a protacted. When any aspec P. mvolved. Any increase in the rime corresponding increase in the risk to l�fe and propercy . required to respond to and fight fire will nearly always mean greater losses. 'The installation of a residential s�rinkler syscem is intended to allow on-premises control of tt►e fire while suppression services are being mobilized. Our recommendadon for structures of this size and value is that they t+e protecied by such a system even when access or other fire protection components are not compromissd• Tti� across ibeacounUry� now require ti►emcin a11 resld nces.d reducing losses.
