Proposed Response to Item # 9 - Mason County Inspection Report
Letter in Response to January 29, 2008 e-mail by Mr. Larry Waters,
Building Inspector Mason County.
Dear Gentlemen,
As required by Mr. Water's e-mail dated January 29, 2008, which is enclosed for
reference, the Hood Canal School District agrees to the following:
■ Post signage at the gymnasium side of the double doors that separate the

red with minimum 1 inch lettering.
■ The exit sign will be removed from above the double doors.
■ The occupant load signs in the Gymnasium will be revised to read
`Maximum Occupant Load 933'.
■ The occupant load signs in the Commons will be revised to read
`Maximum Occupant Load 813'.
■ Once the above four items are complete the set of double doors that
separate the Commons from the west classroom wing will be reinstalled.
• When permanent bleachers are planned to be installed in the gymnasium,
the Hood Canal School District shall apply for all proper permits with
Mason County. Furthermore, we understand that exiting for the Commons
area and first floor west classroom wing shall be required to meet codes
that are current at the time of permit submittal.
Please contact if you have any questions. We intend to immediately begin with
the required revisions as noted above.
Sincerely,

Your proposal to post the door between the commons area and the gym with a sign stating"Not an Exit'is acceptable. If i
as your letter stated the bleachers in the gym are"not'installed.This will lower the occupant load in the gym by 160 which
in•):. Ip„nrc the OCOupant load in the cornmons a'r'a. E',as_'A on the!._. ^,Cr•itra.�t!^,a:t cal^.'`. both sraa3 !oad wlli be I,�ss
tl 1,000. By code these areas will only be require to have 3 exits.At that point the additional double dc:ors that were 1
added in the hall to area A and the fire door into area C to swing in one direction into the commons.
Note:This is viewed as only a temporary solution,when in the future the bleachers are installed the gym and the commons
area will again be required to have 4 exits.A separate permit will be required to be applied for and issued.And the double
doors into either area A or area C will need to meet what ever the code requires at the time application is made.Mason
County at this time is requiring a written statement from the school district that they agree to apply for all the required
permits and call for all the required inspections when the bleachers are installed and that they are willing to bring the exit
system into full compliance with what ever the code requires based on the new occupant load.

Mark&Larry,
Have you folks had a chance to look at the letter I had mailed out a while ago? I know you have been a little busy with the
storms and such.
I just got my bridge back(Tahuya River)over Christmas. Please do me a favor and thank who ever at the County got that
done so quickly.
i
Anyway, please review the letter( I attached a copy)and let me know at your earliest opportunity. I believe it to be
successful solution.
Thank you,
