To: Rick Robinson, Assistant Pire Marshal City of Gverett <br />From: Mark Studer, Martin Senour/Sherwin Willinms/NAPA <br />Rc: Hvercri NAPA Retuil Paint Department <br />lii Rick, <br />Jamilry 9, 2009 <br />��1�'(�� Uc:�' <br />NAPA Auto Parts would like tu continuc mixing automotive paint at ow proposed new <br />retail sales location. In the past we have sold paint products, but have never carried much <br />of an inventory. <br />Ovcr the years we have addcd paint to NAI'A stores in Spokane. 'facoma, Vancouver, <br />Kenncwick, Ridiland and Seattle. We have alwuys worked with thc local Pirc Marshal to <br />makc sure wc are on the satne page as far as the Intcrn�tional Fire Codc 200G, and Uiat <br />we stay under the "M:ucimum Allowable Qu�ntities" as stated in lhe Code. <br />As far us the mixing syslem is concemed we would like to have threc units that �ti�ould not <br />exceed the m�ucimum allowable quuntity as indicated on "I'able 2703.1.1(1) under the <br />heading of"use-closed sy,tems" for I B-lC liquids o(' 120 Gallons as rcferenced by <br />3405.3.5. L(See Attachad). Of course all mixing lids will mect the definition of 2702.1 <br />Closed Container. "A container sealed by means of a lid or other device such that liquid <br />vapor or dusts will not escape from it ander ordinary conditions of use or handling". <br />With the addition of the mixing system we would like to increase our inventory to <br />support the program. Under 3404.3.4.1 Ma�imum allowable quaruity per control area in <br />paragraplt 2"For Group M occupancy wholesale and .retail sales uses, indoor storage of <br />flammable and combustible liquids shalf not excecd che maximum allowahlc qua�itities <br />per control ar:a indicated in Table 3404.3.4.1." (Sce Attached) Table 3404.3.4.1 <br />Maximum allowable quantity per control area of flammable and combustible liquids in <br />wholesale an�i retail sales occupancies �ndicates that Class 1 B, 1 C, i1, and IIIA in a <br />nonsprinklered building cannot ezceed 1,600 gallons. With the current mindset ofour <br />business, it has been our goal of reducing opereting inventories to much lower levels than <br />in years past. We envision approximately 500 to 550 total gallons of inventory to support <br />our venture. <br />This portion of the store would be similar to WBSCO and Shenvin-Williams which have <br />branches in your jurisdiction, only it would be on a generally smaller scale. It is our hope <br />to satisfy the requirements of the IPC ''006 and the City of Everett, as we mo�, P forward <br />in this specialty market. <br />Sincerely <br />Mark Studcr <br />Martin Senour/NAPA <br />
