DecidedTypeL&I Review Board Codes
GroundsDuring excavation for new brick paving, a number of collapsed rainwater conductors were uncovered. The GC replaced the collapsed pipes using PVC which he now understands does not meet plumbing code. These rainwater conductors exit through an existing concrete kneewall/retaining wall where the property meets the sidewalk and the rainwater conductors empty directly onto the sidewalk. Despite being an existing condition, the site inspector is requiring the church to connect these rainwater conductors to the underground system. As determined by the Historic Commission, the building permit associated with the paving project specifies that we are not allowed to excavate deeper than 12" in order to avoid disturbing any human remains that may be buried on the church property. In addition, the church obtained quotes between $25,000-$30,000 to connect to the underground sewer system. Given the historic nature of the property and the financial burden, we are requesting that the existing condition be allowed to remain with the rainwater conductors emptying onto the sidewalk (as they were originally designed.) The church would be willing to replace the PVC pipe with cast iron.
