Captain Gaddie,
The 2020 California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection SRA Fire Safe Regulations
Section1270.06 (a), allows us to request an "Exceptions to Standards"to the authority
having jurisdiction. Please consider my request for an exception per the California
Board of Forestry and Fire Protection SRA Fire Safe Regulations section 1276.01 (a).
Section 1276.01(a) states: All parcels shall provide a minimum thirty (30) foot setback
for all buildings from all property lines and/or the center of a road. I have attached a
proposed site plan providing additional detail to clarify the requested exception.
On the attached site plan, B20-0701. The shape of the property and the documented
previous building footprint for the property prevent me from meeting the required
setbacks. To mitigate fire concerns, I have provided at least 10 feet of defensible space
on the proposed structures, and 30 feet for the length of our property and to the
property lines for the width of our property. I will also be installing fire sprinklers along
the parameter of the property. An additional fire department connection (FDC) will be
installed onto a 2500 gallon water storage tank.
I have read, understood Section 1276.01 and the suggested options to provide the
same practical effect. I do thoroughly understand and have great appreciation for
defensible space and will ensure that this proposed exception does not present an
additional fire hazard or risk to my property.
I sincerely appreciate your consideration of this exception.
Respectfully,
Jacob Sivertson
