Larry, in closing, I hope I have addressed all the concerns in your Correction Notice so
Mason County can issue a Temporary Occupancy Certificate so the Staff and Students
can occupy the facility on September 4, 2007.
Also, I would like to emphasize that the 2 hour walls, on approved plans were not a
required code issue. The walls were a negotiated issue with the State Fire Marshal,
because of the inadequate water storage volume for fire flow requirements. Please note,
we also installed non-code smoke detectors in all classroom spaces as agreed with the
jurisdiction involved.
F.Y.I we have on site 60,000 gallons of on site storage for fire protection and fire
sprinkler system along with Skykomish Tribe hydrants which can provide 1,000 GPM @
20PSI residual on S.R. 106.
We have appreciated working with Mason County on this project for the Students, Staff
and the Community. If we have a few resolution items to resolve I hope that Mason
County will be understanding and allow us a Temporary Occupancy Certificate.
Again, I thank you, and if you have any questions please contact me at(360)491-7591 or
cell (360) 789-1865.
Sincerely,
6aryyy . Larson, P.E,Project Manager
