| | STIPULATIONS: |
| | 1)THE DESIGN INTENT IS TO HAVE 60 |
| | TOWNHOUSE UNITS.SBC 202 DEFINES |
| | TOWNHOUSE AS A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING |
| | CONSTRUCTED IN A SERIES OR GROUP OF |
| | ATTACHED UNITS WITH PROPERTY LINES |
| | SEPARATING EACH UNIT. |
| | |
| | THEREFORE THERE ARE 60 SEPARATE |
| | BUILDINGS, NOT "BUILDINGS A THROUGH F" |
| | |
| | 2)FIRE SPRINKLERS.TO BE ACCREDITTED |
| | FOR BUILDING CODE PURPOSES, A FIRE |
| | SPRINKLER SYSTEM MUST BE DESIGNED TO |
