The above-captioned case was originally scheduled for hearing on June 10, 2008 and at that time the Applicant was granted a time variance to complete the hook-up of the sprinkler system in this facility on or before January 1, 2009.  The Applicant then returned to the Board with the support of the Ashaway Fire Chief to advise the Board that the anticipated date for water availability had been changed to January 1, 2010.  The Applicant was thereupon granted a time extension in the decision in file number 080127A.  The Board was subsequently advised by the Applicant and the Ashaway Fire Department that the anticipated public water system had not been established and that they would need additional time.  Accordingly, the Applicant returned to the Board and was granted additional time.
	The Board was subsequently advised that the projected water supply was not forthcoming, and therefore the Applicant had developed a stop gap plan of action to charge the sprinkler system until such time as the main water supply was established.  The stop-gap plan dated July 25, 2011 and revised on July 27, 2011 was presented to the Board on March 6, 2012 at 1:00 P.M.  At that time, Chairman Newbrook, Vice Chairperson Filippi and Commissioners Richard, Dias, Pearson, Jasparro, Jackson, Sylvester, Burlingame and Blackburn were present.  The fire service was represented by Assistant Deputy State Fire Marshal John Woodard of the Ashaway Fire District Fire Marshals Office.  A motion was made by Commissioner Jackson and seconded by Commissioner Jasparro to allow the parties to proceed with the Fire Service Action Plan:  Renova Lighting:  Hopkinton, Rhode Island.  The motion passed with five (5) Commissioners voting in favor and four (4) Commissioners voting against.  Commissioner Richard abstained from this vote.
