Re: commercial truck parking
The (S-2, III-2) fire house garage is over 5,000 sq. ft., one room, no fire walls. Does every one else think fire trucks are commercial trucks? This state classifies commercial trucks by their weight, including small pick-ups and vans. This doesn't help me.
It's hard to believe that firemen are fighting me about this. They are asking me if the building can be called a private garage so it could be use "U". The fire house is owned by the township. I don't think it could be private if owned by the township.
I don't know why this would be safer if it were private to keep trucks in it. I also don't understand why trucks with diesel fuel in them are more dangerous than cars with gas in them.
I just did a plan review for a water company that is owned by a township. It is for a pole building over 5,000 sq. ft. to park their trucks in. I let them call it "U". One of the definitions in Websters dictionary for private is 'not owned by the goverment'. I'm not sure about a company that is owned by the goverment. It would even be more confusing if it were a garage owned privately but rented to the goverment or the other way around.
