Project Description

Alternative Solution Proposal for 19-251315 NH-B01-B48 - The following outlines the proposed alternative solution for the applicable building code requirements, relative to fire protection and life safety, as they relate to 17 Farmstead Road & 740-750 York Mills Road stacked townhouse development (Project), located in Toronto, ON. Specifically, the purpose of this alternative solution is to address the Ontario Building Code requirement to provide either wired glass, glass block or a 3 m set back for unprotected opening that pose an exposure hazard to the exit path as would otherwise be required by Sentence 9.9.4.4.(1). On an alternative solution basis, it is proposed to omit the installation of wired glass, glass block where unprotected openings are within 3 m horizontally and 5 m above or 10 m below the exit path for the building. Rather, the building will be provided with sprinkler protection which will reduce the incident radiant heat exposure to the exit path to within tenable limits. For additional information, refer to the Exposure to Exit Alternative Solution letter dated April 5, 2024.
