Staff: proposed development elevator meets Skagit County and state emergency-ruling stretcher standard
Summary
Planning staff reported that a development application remains under review but the proposed elevator dimensions meet the Skagit County stretcher standard (84x24 inches) and have been approved by staff and county reviewers, including County Fire Marshall Bonnie McCall.
Town staff reported that a development application under review raised questions about elevator size, and said the applicant has since shown an elevator consistent with county and state requirements.
Staff said the elevator can accommodate an 84-by-24-inch stretcher, the size that Skagit County uses under an emergency ruling option described by County Fire Marshall Bonnie McCall. Staff further reported that the dimensions are consistent with state and county requirements and that the town’s permit reviewer Aaron has approved the elevator dimensions; the application remains under review for other outstanding items.
The Planning Commission asked for clarification about stretcher dimensions and whether the elevator would fit emergency equipment; staff confirmed Aaron had reviewed and approved the dimensions but said they would check other outstanding permit elements as the application proceeds.
The record identifies County Fire Marshall Bonnie McCall and staff reviewer Aaron as parties referenced regarding the stretcher standard and code-review process. The application remains under review and any final permit decision will be recorded in the town’s permit files.
