Re: Bradford Woodworking, Industrial Drive
Secondary to a review of the Fire Protection Narrative for this project, I do not
agree with the issuance of a building permit until permits have been obtained for
flammable substances used and stored at this site. Also a more detailed Fire
protection narrative for the suppression system is needed. Appropriate permits and
fees need to be paid in advance.
