The other question is whether I need a standpipe (hose connections). The town is asking for them. I do not think they are required by code. The garage is adjacent to (connected to) an apartment building which does require a standpipe. The only access to the garage is through the building including the drive in which is through the middle of the buidling. The town wants hose connections because they can not bring a truck in. They also want connections on the upper deck (whcih is open parking) because they can not bring a truck on the deck.
The only way I can see a requirment for hose connections is if you consider the garage part of the building. In that case the garage is covered (with-in 200 feet) by the building stair hose connections.
The problem with this arguement is that if the building were a little shorter it would not need a standpipe but nothing would be different about the garage.

The upper level is basically at grade (open deck).
The lower level is just below (-14'ish enclosed).

(If the garage stood alone or the building did not have a standpipe the answer is no standpipe requirment for the garage.)
