The applicant sought a building permit for a new sewage treatment system to service a proposed automotive development, including a dealership and car wash.
A dispute arose with the Chief Building Official regarding the methodology for calculating the total daily design sanitary sewage flow.
The applicant argued that the proposed occupancies were not listed in the Building Code and relied on metered data from similar establishments.
The Building Code Commission ruled that the applicant's calculation methods did not provide sufficiency of compliance with Article 8.2.1.3 of the Building Code, as calculations could be established using multiple listed occupancies and the provided metered data was insufficient and lacked appropriate peaking factors.
