| 2015-06-24 15:48:58 | I HAD A BRIEF PHONE CONVERSATION WITH KAST CONSTRUCTION |
| | THURSDAY - JUNE 11. KAST ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO |
| | PROVIDE A FIRE RATED WALL IN LIEU OF PROVIDING |
| | BUILDING/"TRAILER" SEPARATION PER NFPA 241. I RESPONDED |
| | THAT I WAS OPEN TO THE IDEA BUT WOULD NEED TO SEE AN |
| | ENGINEERED DRAWING, SKETCH OR DETAILED NARRATIVE THAT |
| | COULD BE DISCUSSED AND REVIEWED WITH THE BUILDING DEPT. |
| | NO APPROVALS WERE GIVEN, BUT WE DID DISCUSS BLOCKING IN |

| | WOULD BE 3-FEET ABOVE THE ROOF LEVEL OF THE TRAILERS TO |
| | ACT AS RADIANT HEAT DEFLECTING PARAPET. THE SUBMITTAL |

| | WINDOWS ARE TO BE BLOCKED IN. |
