The above-captioned case was scheduled for hearing before a subcommittee of the Board on May 21, 2009 at 9:30 A.M.  At that time, Chairman Coutu and Commissioners Jackson and Dias were present.  The fire service was represented by Assistant Deputy State Fire Marshal Francis Dunton of the Woonsocket Fire Marshals Office.  A motion was made by Commissioner Dias and seconded by Commissioner Jackson to recommend to close this file in light of the Woonsocket Fire Marshal's determination that he believed the building to be in compliance.  The motion was unanimous.  
The above recommendation was thereupon presented to the full Board on June 2, 2009.  At that time, Chairman Coutu, Vice Chairman Newbrook and Commissioners Blackburn, Richard, Jackson, Preiss, Walker, Jasparro, Dias and Filippi were present.  A motion was made by Commissioner Jasparro and seconded by Vice Chairman Newbrook and Commissioner Walker to adopt the subcommittees recommendation and to close this file.  The motion was unanimous.

FINDINGS OF FACT
	The Board finds that the original deficiencies within this facility are outlined in a June 5, 2006 inspection report compiled by the Woonsocket Fire Marshal's office.  The Board further finds that the Woonsocket Fire Marshal's office has determined that this facility is most likely in compliance.  Accordingly, it was determined by a subcommittee of the Board to close this file and to so notify the Applicant.
	
CONCLUSIONS AND VARIANCE REQUESTS 
	1.  In light of the Woonsocket Fire Marshal's determination that this facility is most likely in compliance, the Board hereby closes this file and directs that the owner shall be notified of such action.

	Failure of the Applicant to initially comply with the full Decision of the Board, within the stated time frame, shall void all variances granted herein.  (See: Board Rules and Regulations, section 6-2-18.)  In the event of complete, timely and continued compliance with the full Decision of the Board, the above cited variances shall be deemed to have vested in the above-captioned facility.

(See: Board Rules and Regulations, section 6-2-20).
