Intent | Intent 1: To exempt a multi-level dwelling unit from the application
of Sentence 3.3.4.4.(2) relating to exits from each storey, on the basis
that the travel to the exit doorway does not involve passing up or down more
than one storey, or there is an outside balcony from the upper storey to act
as a location for leaving the dwelling unit in an emergency. This
is to limit the probability of excessive travel distances to an exit in an
emergency situation, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement
of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
