Intent	Intent 1: To exempt openings through a horizontal fire separation for vehicular ramps in a storage garage from the requirements of Subsection 3.2.8. [specifically Sentence 3.2.8.1.(1) and Articles 3.2.8.3. to 3.2.8.9.], which would otherwise require a vertical fire separation or certain fire protection measures, on the basis that fire risks are minimized and are unlikely to endanger occupants of the building.
