AF-MDI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP #47
DUBUQUE, IA 52002
INSPECTOR: RICHARD G. FIRZLAFF
Horizon Asset Management, agents for MDI Limited Partnership
~47, is requesting a variance for light, ventilation and
ceiling height as required by 26-10. (f) (3)a.
Unit 409:
Living room is 14 x 17 (238 sq ft) and has one window 36.5 x
53.5. This room is 6.48 sq ft short of light and short 2.74
sq ft of ventilation.
Unit 309:
Same as unit 409.
Unit 209:
Room is 13.75 x 17.5
(240.62 sq ft) and has a window 3' x
4'. This room is 7.24 sq ft short of light and 3.62 sq ft
short of ventilation.
Unit 402:
Bedroom is 11.33 x 10.16 (115.11 sq ft) and has a window
30.5 x 30.5. This room is 2.73 sq ft short of light and 1.37
sq ft short of ventilation.
The rooms in question are all short light and ventilation.
The owners could not enlarge the windows due to historical
reasons. The State of Iowa Historic Preservation Office
would not allow this. The Building Department used the
Provisions of the Uniform Code For Building Conservation
(UCBC) to allow these non-conformities.
Codes call for 6'8" in height above stairs. Stairways have 2
steps between landings that measure 6' on fourth step up and
6'3" on 5th step up. Need variance of 8" and 5"
respectively. The existing stairways are of concrete
construction and have been in place since 1916. There was no
feasible way to correct the height from the nose of the
tread to the ceiling. Only two steps per section are below
the present code of 6'8".
