4' Setbacks in L.A. [RE-wrenches]

[Bruce Leininger]

<x-flowed>

This one goes out to all you wrenches that have worked in LA:

We just took a closer look at the Fire Department requirements for solar 
projects in L.A. - the ones that say that there has to be a 4' margin 
around the panels.  If this requirement is set in stone it will probably 
mean that a solar affordable housing project isn't going to happen. 

Has anybody had any luck getting a waiver on any of the fire depmt 
requirements on a case-by-case basis?  Any suggestions about who to talk 
to about this?  Any idea how to reach a live person at the Fire 
Department (Building Standards Unit.)?

Thanks.
