COSTA MESA FIRE DEPARTMENT �osTA 41
INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM •
I �.L'••s rJ .
DATE: JULY 10, 2015
TO: DAN STEFANO, FIRE CHIEF
FROM: CHERYL WILLS, FIRE PROTECTION SPECIALIST
657 W. 19TH STREET UNIT K— SOLID LANDINGS
On June 5, 2014, Mr. John Morehart contacted me and asked about gates
and Knox Boxes for gated properties. I told him that the gate would need
to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department before any
Knox Equipment could be ordered through the Fire Prevention Division.
I have not heard from him since that time. Earlier this year, Dave Hollister
was contacted by Mr. Morehart and the same requirements were
reviewed with him.
Mr. Morehart recently filled out a Knox Order Form dated June 23, 2015,
but was unable to complete the form. This was due to the electric gate
installed at the rear of the building, has no approval from the Planning
Department. There is a lock box installed at the rear gate, but it is not an
approved Knox Box. It appears to be a lock box that was most likely
purchased off the internet, the Costa Mesa Fire Department has no access
to this box. Additionally, I have not received any requests for an 850 Fire
Clearance/Inspection for the above mentioned address.
I am currently working with the Building Department and Inspector Ed
Cooke to move forward in rectifying the issues outlined in Randy Buck's
memo dated 7-6-15.
