REHR, FIRE CHIEF APRIL 16, 1998 GULFSTREAM · HIGHLAND BEACH 0--' ^ SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 18-98, AMENDING CHAPTER 96, 'FIRE SAFETY & EMERGENCY SERVICES' OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH The City of Delray Beach Fire Department proposes to amend the City of Delray Beach Code of Ordinance, Chapter 96: Fire Safety & Emergency Services, Sections 96.16, 96.17, and 96.46. The proposed revisions and updates will provide consistency with the uniform standards mandated by the State of Florida. The revision also provides for an exception to the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, 1994 edition, Section 19-3.5.6. This provides for Exception No. 2 of Section 19-3.5.6 to be followed which allows for an engineered life safety system in lieu of the requirement to protect throughout by an approved, supervised, automatic sprinkler system. This section is further amended to provide that affected buildings shall have five (5) years from the effective date of the ordinance to come into compliance. Resolution 57-97 established the High-rise Fire Safety Task Team as an advisory body to examine the impact with respect to fire protection sprinklers in high-rise residential buildings and to make recommendations to the City Commission. At the April 14, 1998, City Commission Workshop the Commission directed city staff to proceed with an ordinance to amend the applicable codes and to provide for an exception to NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, 1994 edition, Section 19-3.5.6. Following the workshop the Fire Safety High-rise Task Force met and made a decision not to support the exception to 19-3.5.6, but to recommend the deletion of Section 19-3.5.6.

We, and the owners of these condominiums, have made it clear that the adoption of the 1994 Code was acceptable to us only with the exception of Section 19-3.5.6. It is not needed in light of the multiple safety requirements already in the Code, many of which are enumerated in our Report. This position is identical to the so-called Option 2 in ChiefRehr's Memorandum of April 4, 1998. Option 3 is not meaningful in that it refers to an "engineered life safety system." This phrase is found in Exception 2 under Section 19-3.5.6. and has no significance unless that Section has been put into effect. No Section 19-3.5.6., no "engineered life safety system." Section 19-3.5.6. should not be adopted for all the reasons set forth in our Report and because it is not necessary to assure the safety of the residents of the eleven condominiums affected. We ask for your prompt action. Section 19- 3.5.6. Enact the 1994 Life Safety Code with the exception of William H.
