Make sure to maintain ingress and egress for Fire and EMS access with the IFC and LDC for driveway width. As long as those are met and maintained, Black Forest Fire Rescue has no further comments. Thanks Herdt | 11/18/2025 7:17:36 AM | |

The proposed *Mountain Air Marketing* variance request for 7260 Burgess Road was reviewed against the *2015 International Fire Code (IFC)** and found to be compliant with all applicable fire and life safety provisions. The existing structure is a single-family residence zoned RR-5 (Residential Rural) and will continue to function primarily as a dwelling, with a limited home-based office use for administrative computer work. Because no physical, electrical, or structural modifications are proposed, and no clients or public traffic will occur on-site, the property retains its **R-3 residential occupancy classification** under IFC 102.3 and IBC 302.1. No fire protection systems, such as sprinklers or alarms, are required for this type of residential use per **IFC 903.2.8**, and the existing residential egress configuration remains adequate under **IFC 1030**. Fire department access from Burgess Road meets the intent of **IFC 503**, provided that the driveway remains at least 12 feet wide, all-weather, and unobstructed. Water supply and fire flow requirements under **IFC 507.3** are satisfied by existing rural residential conditions, as no additional fire-flow demand is introduced. There are no hazardous materials, outdoor storage, or secondary structures planned, satisfying **IFC 315 and 5001**. The only noted item is to verify that the **address numbers** are clearly visible from the roadway and of contrasting color per **IFC 505.1**, and that existing **smoke and carbon monoxide alarms** remain operational as required by **IFC 907.2.11**. Overall, the proposed use poses no increased fire or life safety risk, introduces no new hazards, and maintains compliance with the intent and scope of the **2015 IFC**. Therefore, the variance request is **approved from a fire code standpoint**, contingent upon maintaining clear fire access and visible address signage. |
