RE: CAA: Mutual Help List, Mutual Help List, T-HangarConstruction

["Robert Grierson" <rgrierso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This may be a good time for me to throw a question out to the brain trust. 

My airport commission has asked me to provide them with definitive wording that 
specifically describe a T-hangar, port-a-port, and a stand alone rectangular 
personal hangar. The City has never considered that a difference does exist and 
I'm trying to update the policies. Does anyone have definitive language I could 
use?

Hi Mary:
Do you have specifics where it can be found in the building codes? Are these
local codes or national? I'd like to review with my building dept.

I know we all have gone through this once or more, but hoping that one of
you can help me with the issue of floor
drains......I have 69 hangars without drains.....I fought the issue in 1995
when we developed 20 new T-hangar facilities
and I had a different building inspector......but, the issue was the same
then......in black and white in the building codes
that requires floor drains in aircraft storage hangars.....doesn't matter
what you do in them......my building inspector is
willing to review other county and city building department reasoning as to
how they go around doing the drains....so, any
assistance or if you can through me some contacts so that I can make some
calls, I will attempt to get through this
round.......we got around it the last time by sloping the floors enough that
any spill could at least drain out of the building,
we installed fire extinguishers in all hangars and more larger units on the
outside of the hangar.....had to bring a water
line down to the hangar area (and buy my fire department 1,000 feet of hose
in the interim.....another story...) and, set
up new rules and procedures on what can and can't be done in the hangar, and
 put fuel absorbant materials in all
hangars....worked then, doesn't matter this time........
