Fire chief: 133 Main St. plans must show window sizes for emergency egress
Summary
Fire Chief Granger told the Corinth Planning Board the 133 Main St. site‑plan drawings must show window sizes or be renovated to meet emergency egress requirements before he can approve the project.
Fire Chief Granger reviewed the proposed renovations for 133 Main St. on July 7 and told the Planning Board the project must meet building code egress requirements before he will sign off. The board discussed the chief's review during its July 13 meeting.
According to the board minutes, Granger said the current drawings show doors but do not specify window sizes; the windows must be large enough for emergency egress. If existing windows are renovated or replaced where necessary to meet those needs, Granger indicated he would approve the project. The Planning Board flagged this as a condition the applicant must satisfy before final approval can be granted.
