R. Hinkle, President: - - - The undersigned respectfully petition and paay that your gonorable B©fi# give reconsideration to our application for Building Permit Dated eptember 7th. , 1928: This has reference to frame loading platform and superstructure to be constructed to servee Bird.sells Factory Loading Facilities, the plan is on file with your Building Commissioner. Confirming verbal conservation with President Hinkle. the loading dock in question is more or less of a temporary structure to be built for the purpose of handling shipments in and out of Birdsell Plant until such time as our construction program with regards to track lay outs eta., is completed. Our appeal is based on. the fact that the type of structure we propose is not specifically mentioned either in your honing Ordinance or Municipal Building ode. 'With regards to location; your Building commissioner, Mr. D. Moomawlp agrees that we have complied with the honing Ordinance. It is proposed to paint the entire structure with a fire resisting paint except roof covering which is to be of incom- bustible slate coated asphalt shingles class "0". The covered area of this loading dock, which is fifty five feet imig by twenty six feet wide, is supported by an adequate number of posts and the roof construction is sufficiently strong to carry snow loads as required in your building code. The roof is protected by .two sets of dollar joists and knee braces which will amply afford- wind resistance.
