PROJECT/OWNER:
22 Hawthorne Blvd. / 19-21 Charter Street Michael Becker, Owner
SUBJECT:
Proposed IEBC 2009 Compliance Alternatives for Stairway
DATE:
January 15 , 2015
Background
The ca.1860 subject building has 3 floors plus a storage basement, with four means of egress stairways
which are not compliant with current codes. The First Floor is proposed as a Business Occupancy and an
R-2 unit, the Second Floor as two R-2 units. The third floor is vacant at this time. Owner has stated building
will have fire sprinklers.
The subject stair of this Compliance Alternative application is the stair for 21 Charter Street.
Existing B & R-2 Stair
The subject stair as existing is a straight run, 30" wide with risers 9 1/8" " height and treads 9 '/2 " . This
stair serves as a means of egress for two R-2 Units with about 10 persons total occupancy based on 200
GSF per person occupancy. This stair provides an improved means of egress to the previously renovated
2nd Floor 19 Charter R-2 Unit which previously had 2 existing means of egress:
• Existing straight run stair discharging at the 1'9 Charter entry.
• Existing rear winder stair with many non-code compliant concerns in that it serves 4 floors without a
2 hour rating, has winder configuration, is too narrow, has inadequate stair/riser dimensions, and
discharges to the public way through a garage.
Utilizing the subject stair will provide improved means of egress to the 19 Charter 2nd Floor unit.
New Stair to Basement
The Basement is currently served by two non-code compliant stairs and the Owner proposes to build a
new stair to the Basement in a rated enclosure in conjunction with the 21 Charter stair described above,
with a width of 36," a clear ceiling height of minimum 80" until the basement is reached with Max. 8 '/4"
Risers and Min. 9" Treads, minimum 36" X 36" landings at turn and bottom of stair and maximum possible
landing at top.
As a below code ceiling height storage area, the occupancy load served by this basement stair would be 6
or 7 persons based on 300 GSF per person. This occupancy load is comparable to a single-family house
and stairs to 780 CMR 51 R311.7 8th edition is requested as a Compliance Alternative.
Building a stair to the basement to the code for new construction in this location would be impractical
because of construction difficulties.
p.1 of 2 Job No. 14-717
4� New Stair Enclosure for existing subject stair and new basement stair
The stair enclosure only requires a 1 Hour enclosure with '/< Hour rated doors, however Owner will
provide 2 Hour rated enclosure with 1 '/2 Hour doors, including all associated code requirements for
closers, locking, hand rails, guards, etc. Basement stair will require custom door for low ceiling height.
The 2 hour rating will include the assembly of the 2nd floor ceiling /3rd floor, as well as a 2 hour wall/
floor assembly as required to the basement, and 2 hour rating for all structural supports for this entire
enclosure assembly, 2 hour rating for penetrations, fire blocking, etc.
Code Intent
Acceptance by the Building Official of the existing subject stair in conjunction with the addition of the
basement stair to R311.7 and the provision of a 2 hour enclosure beyond the minimum 1 hour required,
while not completely meeting the code for new construction for the building type, provides improved
egress and fire resistance to the building.
Compliance Alternative
The Owner requests that City of Salem Building Official accept in writing a Compliance Alternative for the
existing conditions and work described above under IEBC 2009 101.5.0 citing that such work as described
and depicted in attached drawing is approved under his authorization as meeting the intent of IEBC 2009.

PROJECT / OWNER:
22 Hawthorne Blvd. / 19-21 Charter Street Michael Becker Owner
SUBJECT:
Proposed IEBC 2009 Compliance Alternatives for Stairway
DATE:
January 15 , 2015
Background
The ca.1860 subject building has 3 floors plus a storage basement, with four means of egress stairways
which are not compliant with current codes. The First Floor is proposed as a Business Occupancy and an
R-2 unit, the Second Floor as two R-2 units. The third floor is vacant at this time. Owner has stated building
will have fire sprinklers.
The subject stair of this Compliance Alternative application is the stair for 21 Charter Street.
Existing B & R-2 Stair
The subject stair as existing is a straight run, 30" wide with risers 9 1/8" " height and treads 9 '/s " . This
stair serves as a means of egress for two R-2 Units with about 10 persons total occupancy based on 200
GSF per person occupancy. This stair provides an improved means of egress to the previously renovated
2nd Floor 19 Charter R-2 Unit which previously had 2 existing means of egress:
• Existing straight run stair discharging at the 19 Charter entry.
• Existing rear winder stair with many non-code compliant concerns in that it serves 4 floors without a
2 hour rating, has winder configuration, is too narrow, has inadequate stair/riser dimensions,and
discharges to the public way through a garage.
Utilizing the subject stair will provide improved means of egress to the 19 Charter 2nd Floor unit.
New Stair to Basement
The Basement is currently served by two non-code compliant stairs and the Owner proposes to build a
new stair to the Basement in a rated enclosure in conjunction with the 21 Charter stair described above,
with a width of 36," a clear ceiling height of minimum 80" until the basement is reached with Max. 8 '/<"
Risers and Min. 9" Treads, minimum 36" X 36" landings at turn and bottom of stair and maximum possible
landing at top.
As a below code ceiling height storage area, the occupancy load served by this basement stair would be 6
or 7 persons based on 300 GSF per person. This occupancy load is comparable to .a single-family house
and stairs to 780 CMR 51 R311.7 8th edition is requested as a Compliance Alternative.
Building a stair to the basement to the code for new construction in this location would be impractical
because of construction difficulties.
p.1 of 2 Job No. 14-717
New Stair Enclosure for existing subject stair and new basement stair
The stair enclosure only requires a 1 Hour enclosure with 3/ Hour rated doors, however Owner will
provide 2 Hour rated enclosure with 1 'h Hour doors, including all associated code requirements for
closers, locking, hand rails, guards, etc. Basement stair will require custom door for low ceiling height.
` The 2 hour rating will include the assembly of the 2nd floor ceiling / 3rd floor, as well as a 2 hour wall/
floor assembly as required to the basement, and 2 hour rating for all structural supports for this entire
enclosure assembly, 2 hour rating for penetrations, fire blocking, etc.
Code Intent
Acceptance by the Building Official of the existing subject stair in conjunction with the addition of the
basement stair to R311.7 and the provision of a 2 hour enclosure beyond the minimum 1 hour required,
while not completely meeting the code for new construction for the building type, provides improved
egress and fire resistance to the building.
Compliance Alternative
The Owner requests that City of Salem Building Official accept in writing a Compliance Alternative for the
existing conditions and work described above under IEBC 2009 101.5.0 citing that such work as described
and depicted in attached drawing is approved under his authorization as meeting the intent of IEBC 2009.

Building Department
City of Salem, MA
PROJECT/OWNER:
22 Hawthorne Blvd. / 19-21 Charter Street Michael Becker, Owner
SUBJECT:
Proposed IEBC 2009 Compliance Alternatives for Stairway
DATE:
January 15 , 2015
Background
The ca.1860 subject building has 3 floors plus a storage basement, with four means of egress stairways
which are not compliant with current codes. The First Floor is proposed as a Business Occupancy and an
R-2 unit, the Second Floor as two R-2 units. The third floor is vacant at this time. Owner has stated building
will have fire sprinklers.
The subject stair of this Compliance Alternative application is the stair for 21 Charter Street.
Existing B & R-2 Stair
The subject stair as existing is a straight run, 30" wide with risers 9 1/8" " height and treads 9 '/z " . This
stair serves as a means of egress for two R-2 Units with about 10 persons total occupancy based on 200
GSF per person occupancy. This stair provides an improved means of egress to the previously renovated
2nd Floor 19 Charter R-2 Unit which previously had 2 existing means of egress:
• Existing straight run stair discharging at the 19 Charter entry.
• Existing rear winder stair with many non-code compliant concerns in that it serves 4 floors without a
2 hour rating, has winder configuration, is too narrow, has inadequate stair/riser dimensions, and
discharges to the public way through a garage.
Utilizing the subject stair will provide improved means of egress to the 19 Charter 2nd Floor unit.
New Stair to Basement
The Basement is currently served by two non-code compliant stairs and the Owner proposes to build a
new stair to the Basement in a rated enclosure in conjunction with the 21 Charter stair described above,
with a width of 36," a clear ceiling height of minimum 80" until the basement is reached with Max. 8 '/a'
Risers and Min. 9" Treads, minimum 36" X 36" landings at turn and bottom of stair and maximum possible
landing at top.
As a below code ceiling height storage area, the occupancy load served by this basement stair would be 6
or 7 persons based on 300 GSF per person. This occupancy load is comparable to a single-family house
and stairs to 780 CMR 51 R311.7 8th edition is requested as a Compliance Alternative.
Building a stair to the basement to the code for new construction in this location would be impractical
because of construction difficulties.
p.1 of 2 Job No. 14-717
New Stair Enclosure for existing subject stair and new basement stair
The stair enclosure only requires a 1 Hour enclosure with '/ Hour rated doors, however Owner will
provide 2 Hour rated enclosure with 1 '/2 Hour doors, including all associated code requirements for
closers, locking, hand rails, guards, etc. Basement stair will require custom door for low ceiling height.
The 2 hour rating will include the assembly of the 2nd floor ceiling / 3rd floor, as well as a 2 hour wall/
floor assembly as required to the basement, and 2 hour rating for all structural supports for this entire
enclosure assembly, 2 hour rating for penetrations, fire blocking, etc.
Code Intent
Acceptance by the Building Official of the existing subject stair in conjunction with the addition of the
basement stair to R311.7 and the provision of a 2 hour enclosure beyond the minimum 1 hour required,
while not completely meeting the code for new construction for the building type, provides improved
egress and fire resistance to the building.
Compliance Alternative
The Owner requests that City of Salem Building Official accept in writing a Compliance Alternative for the
existing conditions and work described above under IEBC 2009 101.5.0 citing that such work as described
and depicted in attached drawing is approved under his authorization as meeting the intent of IEBC 2009.

JANE T. LUNDREGAN DECISION ON THE PETITION OF 11IARViN F. POCHAP.SKI TO CHANGE:THE USE
DONALD E. EMAES OF THE BUILDING AT 22 HAIdTHORNE BLVD. TO A BUSINESS USE.
EMEM P. TANCH —'—� - — — -
Hearing on this petition was held on February 24, 1976 with Chairman John 1•I. Gray, Sr. ,
and members Jane T. Lundregan, William Abbott, Arthur LaBrecque and Associate Member
Donald Eanes present. Notices were duly mailed to abutters and others in accordance
with Massachusetts Law, Chapter 808.
Mr. Porcharski represented himself before the Board. He wishes to change the
premises located at 22 Hawthorne Blvd. , presently used as a Funeral Home and as
apartments, to use on the bottom floor of a Craft Shop. He stated that the crafts
sold would be similar to the type of handicraft sold in Rockport. Mr. Porcharski
said that he is presently using the building as a Funeral Home but does not Wish to
/ continue in the business as it is not financially sucessful.
The Board voted to deny the variance requested. The Board felt that the change
of the use from a residential use to a business use would not be appropriate to the
.neighborhood and would derogate from the intent of the Zoning By-laws.
VARIANCE DENIED HEREIN SHALL NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL A COPY OF THE DECISION BEARING

BEEN FILED, OR THAT IF SUCH AN APPEAL HAS BEEN FILED IT HAS BEEN DISMISSED OR
