He then reviewed in detail the various recommendations made by the consultant..
He read the report prepared by Arthur D. Little giving recommendations on each
and every item as determined in their findings.
2. The matter of the Congressional Church on Los Osos Valley Road appeal
from the requirement to provide sprinklers in their new sanctuary was again
discussed by the City Council.
Allen Grimes, City Attorney, stated that before a building permit could be issued
without the required sprinklers, the City must have an operational manned 24m-hour
fire station available within a':4 minute response time to the area. This is what
the regulation was all about, although.he continued that the Fire Code allowed Fire
Officers to reduce or modify requirements if it were done with a view of adequate
fire safety and /or public safety. The determination was that the Church either
must comply with the regulations or some other substitute material or construction
could be used if approved by City authorities.
After brief discussion by the City Council.of the Congressional Church's building
permit problem the matter was returned to Robert Coop, consultant to the Arthur
D. Little Company, who continued to review various.sections of his report with
the City Council.
