RULE VII

Division C-2 (libraries, museums, exhibition halls and art galleries)

General. Buildings shall adjoin or have access to a public space, yard, or street on not less than one side.
Required yards shall be permanently maintained. For the purpose of this Section, the center line of an
adjoining street or alley shall be considered an adjacent property line. Eaves over required windows shall
be not less than 75 centimeters (30 inches) from the side and rear and rear property lines.

Fire Resistance of Walls. Exterior walls shall have fire resistance and opening protection in accordance
with requirements set by the Secretary. Projections beyond the exterior wall shall not extend beyond a
point one-third the distance to the property line from an exterior wall; or a point one-third the distance
from an assumed vertical plane located where fire-resistive protection of openings is first required due to
location on property, whichever is the least restrictive. Distance shall be measured at right angles from the
property line. When openings in exterior walls are required to be protected due to distance from property
line, the sum of the area of such openings shall not exceed 50 per cent of the total area of the wall in each
story.

 Flame-Proof Materials. Materials required to be flame-proofed shall be treated with a flame-retardant


having flame-spread rating of 50 less as determined by the "Tunnel Test".
