Body

WHEREAS, in the matter of Appeal of Bruce Johnson to a Fire Inspection Correction Notice at 138 BATES AVENUE, the Legislative Hearing Officer has reviewed the appeal and considered the testimony of City staff and the appellant; and

WHEREAS, the Legislative Hearing Officer recommends that the City Council grant the appeal on the condition that there be no locks separating the upstairs rooms and that there be smoke and carbon monoxide detectors/alarms in all locations required by the state and local codes; noting the upstairs hallway/loft area functions more as a hallway and egress route than a closed, individual sleeping room, therefore, egress for those sleeping in the closed bedroom is not impeded its exit through the hallway/loft area which has no separate 2^nd door serving it; Now, Therefore, Be It

RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul City Council hereby accepts and adopts the Legislative Hearing Officer's recommendation in this matter.
