Intent
Intent 1: 
To waive the requirement for a fire separation between a dwelling unit and an attached garage as stated in Sentence 3.3.5.6.(1) on the basis that the dwelling unit and garage are separated from the remainder of the building.
This [the separation] is to limit the probability that a fire involving the garage or the dwelling unit will spread to other parts of the building, which could lead to damage to the building.
