The above-captioned case was scheduled for hearing on April 29, 2008 at 1:00 P.M.  At that time, Chairman Coutu, Vice Chairman Newbrook and Commissioners Blackburn, Preiss, Jasparro, Jackson, Walker, Filippi and Dias were present.

FINDINGS OF FACT
	The Board finds that this case has previously been before it and that its decision in file number 050013A outlined a plan of action and was mailed to the parties on May 26, 2006.  
	The Board further finds that the original decision involved a project to renovate a significant portion of the ground floor of the Jewish Community Center Building located at the above address.  The Board further finds that the decision incorporated a conditional variance as a first step to a comprehensive integrated plan of fire safety for the entire building.  The Board further finds that the variance was granted pending the Applicant submitting a timetable for compliance with the required systems for the facility.  
	The Board finds that a representative of the Applicant and the Applicants architect met with Assistant Deputy State Fire Marshal Richard Silva regarding this matter.  The Board further finds that Lt. Silva reviewed the plans and the hydraulic calculations that the Applicant had prepared for the installation of automatic sprinkler suppression and an addressable fire alarm system for the entire building.
	The Board further finds that the plans for the required renovations have not yet been completed.  Further, the Board finds that the plans for the Phase II renovation sequence of this facility have been revised and submitted to it for approval.  Finally, the Board finds that the Providence Fire Marshal's office has no objection to the requested revised schedule.  Accordingly, the revised timetable proposal for the Phase II renovation sequence is amended as outlined below.
