Hello
I have a set of 4-2 story town homes, each unit's first floor has a "loggia" or "porch" area that is adjacent to the next units finished 1st floor (at the property line). The second floor covers the whole first floor including the loggia. The 2nd floor walls at the prop. line we are showing UL#373 2-hr wall. My question is the fire separation at the 1st floor level where the loggias meet the finished 1st floor. Since the loggia does not have a wall that abbuts the other first floor, what kind of separation is needed? We were showing a 1-hr (UL#305) but the city's reviewer has kicked back the drawings. See attached drawings.
