Applicant: proposed 100 Nod Road buildings will be fully sprinklered and meet fire code
Summary
Architect and fire-safety consultants told the Avon PZC the proposed wood-frame apartment buildings will be fully sprinklered, have required fire separation and be reviewed against state building and fire codes prior to permits; the Fire Marshal recommended sprinklers or a cistern as a non-mandatory suggestion.
Architect Colin Grotheer described building features intended to meet State Building and Fire Codes, including required fire separation between dwelling units and sprinkler systems. Fire-safety reviewer Joe Versteeg and applicant representatives said construction documents will include the details that the Building Official and Fire Marshal review before permits are issued.
Town staff noted the Fire Marshal’s written comments and that fire-flow tests and water-supply data had been provided to the Marshal. The Fire Marshal recommended installing sprinklers or a cistern in the new dwelling as a best-practice suggestion, though the transcript shows this recommendation was not stated as a statutory requirement. The applicant emphasized that final code compliance will be demonstrated through the building-permit review process.
