Sectgn 5-300.FIRE PREVENTION POLICY
STATEMENT. It is declared to be the policy of the City of
Brooklyn Center to vigorously promote the safety and wel-
fare of its citizens. In this context, the traditional approach
to fire service--suppressing fires once ignited, rescdrg
survivors, and too frequently exposing
to physical danger and death, all at a disproportionately
high community investment of resources in manpower and
equipment-is declared unacceptable for Brooklyn Cen-
ter. Rather, it is the fire safety policy of the City of Brook-
lyn Center to efficiently utilize its resources and mm :,,i e
life, safety, and citizen welfare by requiring that fire pre-
vention and extinguishing systems be fruit into certain
new structures. Thus, the effectiveness of the Brooklyn
Center volunteer fire department is enhanced and ex-
tended at a lower cost to the citizenry, Igee safety ' is allo-
cated a priority at leant as great as property protection,
and the owner cost of built-in fire protection is partially or
wholly repaid in savings on initial construction costs and
annual fire insurance premiums.
Section 5-301.(1 FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYS-
TEMS REQUIRED. Every story, basement or cellar in
every building hereafter erected in the 1-1(industrial Park),
1-2 (General Industry), CI (Service Office), CIA (Ser-
vice/Office), and C2 (Commerce) zoning districts shag
have installed and be equipped with an automatic fire ex-
tinguishing system which system shag comply with provi-
sions of the Sprinkler Stardard, N.FPA. No. 13. Every
story, basement, or cellar in every building exceeding
three stories in height hereafter erected in any residential
(R1 through R7) district shall have installed and be
equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system
which system shall comply with provisions of the Sprinkler
Standard, N.F.P.A. No. 13. The fire extinguishing system
shall be .,,,,,,,.,..ed to a central station system approved
and listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc, and shall re-
main so connected and maintained during the life of the
building.
Exception: Buildings having a gross floor area less than
2,000 square feet shall not be required to install a fire ex-
tinguishing system, provided each story of the building
has at least 20 square feet of opening above grade in each
segment of the 50 lineal feet of exteriorwrall on at least one
side of the building.
Section 5.302.6.283 VARIANCES (ADJUST-
MENTS). The procedure for obtaining a variance from the
requirements of this ordinance shall be the same as set
out in Section 35-240 of the ordinances of the City of
Brooklyn Center.
The board of adjustments and appeals may ..--,,,,mend
and the City Council may grant variances from the literal
provisions of this ordinance in instances where their mat
enforcement would cause undue hardship because of cir-
cumstances unique and distinctive to the specific proper-
ty or use under consideration. The provisions of this or-
dinance, considered in conjunction with the unique and
distinctive circumstances related to the property or uses
thereof must be the proximate cause of the hardship; cir-
cumstances caused by the property owner or the appli-
cant or a predecessor in title shall not constitute sufficient
justification to grant a variance. A variance may be grant-
ed by the City Council after demonstration by evidence
that all of the following qualifications are met:
1. A particular hardship to the owner would result if the
strict letter of the regulations were carded out.
2. The conditions upon which the application for a vari-
ance is based are unique to the parcel of land or the
use thereof for which the variance is sought and are
not common, generally, to other property or uses
thereof within the same zoning classification.
3. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to other property or im-
provements in the neighborhood.
Section 5-303, PENALTY. Any person violat-
ing the provisions of this ordinance stall, upon conviction,
be punished by a fine not.-.,;ing one thousand dollars
