Hi Jean,
Per our conversation today with Mark Grylls, I would offer the following:
1. Check for code compliance regarding adequate natural light and ventilation for the building if you are
eliminating the small windows in the rear.
2. Check code requirements that may allow for the small window on the west elevation to be a regular window
and not fire‐rated, as it sounds like some small areas might be allowed by code.
3. The double faux windows in the front of the west elevation do not need to be fire rated windows themselves if
you are providing the appropriate fire rated sheetrock on the inside to cover the faux windows. From the
outside it would look like a frosted window and replicate the existing window in this area, without the added
cost of a fire rated window.
Personally, I would be okay with the change in the front door style and elimination of the small window in the rear of
the west elevation, if the faux window on the west elevation remained. I can’t believe there is any significant cost
savings to the removal of the two non‐fire rated windows on the east elevation and would like to see them
remain. Depending on the ultimate changes you are proposing after you have reviewed the above comments, these
changes would need to be run by the Design Review committee to see if they feel these changes are not significant or
would warrant another meeting.
Mark – please feel free to provide additional input .
Thanks,
Kathy

Dear Kathy
How are you.
RE:1361 Bridge Street Bass River
The customer needs to eliminate some of the windows due to the cost that was due to the Fire Blocking and rating
2
and the fact she has to put in a septic system and also remove the lot line on the parking lot side
The fire rated walls and windows are so unbelievably expensive
what sort of procedure/forms to present is required to modify based on this issue.
We want to her be able to do this lovely building .
