In Chapter 9 of the IBC structures containing R- occupancies require a fire sprinkler system. There may also be sprinkler requirements for other buildings within the complex. In addition there was discussion about fire apparatus access roads in relationship to each structure. We may need to schedule a meeting with Mr. Paisley soon so he is aware of requirements of the Fire Marshal. Mr. P is hoping to submit permit application for 4 bunkhouses,the cafeteria building,and one or two misc. buildings as soon as 2-weeks from now.

No. Will the Building(s) have employees? If yes,how many? Seasonal and varied, but fewer than 25 at any one time. However,the Camp will have up to 60 instructors for certain sessions(these are not Avery Township employees,they are brought in by non-profits that rent the camp)and the Farmer's/Crafts Market may have dozens of self-employed vendors on weekends. What is the water availability? There is an existing well for the existing farmhouse. As can be seen on the site plan, we will install 1 new Group A TNC well (under 5,000 gpd)in the area of the Camp. Also, for future expansion, on separate parcels we may elect to drill now for a Group B well near the Farmer's market,and a Group A or B well up near the Jewel House location. I am working with Frank Meriwether at WA DOH on the initial Group A well and he has involved Arlene Hyatt on this. What is planned for the on-site sewage system? Multiple, new, small septic systems(all with design flows of 500— 1,000 gpd into 1,500 gal tanks)are planned as shown on the site plan. The design flows are based on the 2002 EPA Onsite Wastewater Treatments System Manual,which expands the 1980 categories to include ones germane to our use. e.g.(Presumably with strict conservations methods): pioneer camps can use as little as 15 gpd and developed campgrounds can use as little as 20 gpd. From these figures, it is feasible to accommodate our peak Camp usage with the conventional septic systems shown on the site plan. In any case, we have only 5,000 gpd of water available to us, and by using every conservations means possible,we intend to limit it to less 4,000 gpd peak(Jun—Sep). However,given: 1)the extremely long life cycle of the project, 2)the close proximity to • Oakland Bay,3)my personal belief that septic for blackwater is an unacceptable long-term environmental and health risk on property I control,and 4)my desire to have Avery Township be a model of leading-edge sustainable,environmentally-sound practices... ...It is my intention to, by 2008,reduce to zero the amount of blackwater that goes in the ground by using a combination of high-volume central composting toilets for baseline usage (typically Oct—May)and vault toilets and portable chemical toilets for spike usage(Jun—Sep). I am talking to several of the alternate system vendors on the WA DOH approved list,and all structures will have separate graywater and blackwater plumbing to facilitate whatever systems are ultimately selected. But these alternate systems cannot be in place in time for our first and only major event in 2007: The Porter Music Camp, July 8th—August 4`h—approx 160 kids+60 instructors+ 10 staff each week for 4 weeks. So for 2007 I hope the Mason County Health Department will allow me to reduce or even eliminate the blackwater septic loading with portable chemical toilets and handwashing stations with the aim of using septic systems primarily for graywater(showers, sinks, laundry, kitchen with grease-traps,etc). Btw, I have reviewed WAC 246-376"Camps"and all the criteria will be met: 40 sf per camper, I shower head per 15 users, 16—20 toilets for 230 persons,etc., and according to WAC 246-376-070 it is within the purview of Mason County Health Department to allow portable toilets in lieu of flush toilets, as being requested herein. • _ 1 (4) 50 x 96 x 16 buildings (4,800 sfl.

I am meeting with designers over the next few days and expect to select one next week. My intention is to apply for two septic permits ASAP: (1)a suitable system(s)for the camp area with adequate capacity for peak flows from a full camp. (2)a small system for the new farmhouse located about 800' east of the camp area. This one will not be for public use, only for occupants of the house. My intention is that the foregoing systems be operational and approved in time for the July/August music camp. Then, later in the year, perhaps after the mad rush to get the camp ready is behind us, I will apply separately for permits for large-capacity central composting systems (e.g. Clivus-Multrum or CTS) for the camp area and SST Vault systems (e.g. Romtec)for scattered activity&events areas. This is consistent with what I wrote in my pre-app meeting application: that I wish to shift to DOH-approved alternate systems as soon as schedule permits. But 2008 is fine for the shift. Of course, the new septic systems will continue to operate as always—the objective is to reduce blackwater in the ground to the greatest degree possible. So I understand that I will need an approved plan and perhaps a disposal /pumping contract on file for the compost and vault systems (plus any chemical toilets used for special events) but these are issues for late 2007 -early 2008, not now I clarify the timeline now so you can let me know if there is anything I should be doing now, other than the relatively straight-forward septic design/application/installation process I am immediately commencing. Thanks, Gregg 253-709-1887 (3/15/2007) Debbera Coker- Re: PAR2006-00014 Page 1 From: Gregg Paisley<greggpaisley@gmail.com> To: Debbera Coker<Dlc@co.mason.wa.us> Date: 3/15/2007 11:17 AM Subject: Re: PAR2006-00014 Attachments: WAC Camps.doc CC: Al Christensen <Alc@co.mason.wa.us> Hi Debbera, After sifting through the pre-app package you gave me, I must say, that's a lot of work on your part...THANKS!...all that information will help me minimize delays and surprises with the project I am anxious to meet with the Fire Marshal when possible. I am available any time Wed/Thu/Fri next week, if that is convenient for you. 1 have a number of questions which if easy and fast for you to answer with a return email, great...otherwise it can wait until I see you. But first, some FYIs (no need to respond on these unless you see something that needs comment or correction.) 1. 1 have hired a septic designer and it appears he may have the design done before the building plans are ready. So I will be submitting them separately, probably within the next few days. 2. 1 have my water well siting inspection application ready to submit, but I'll delay submitting it to Arlene Hyatt for a few days until the drain field designs are farther along to ensure the proposed well site has the required 100' sanitary zone. 3. Also, though of more interest to Planning (for stream-related issues) and to Arlene Hyatt, it turns out I have both ground water and surface water rights (recorded in 1971 & 1972), totally 22 acre feet, which was a nice surprise. 4. 1 traded voicemails with Michael MacSems and it appears that my site work falls well below the permit-triggering threshold for both timber removal and dirtwork. The primary building area is mostly flat and most of the substantial trees will be left standing. I told him that in the (3/15/2007) Debbera Coker- Re: PAR2006-00014 T Page 2 unlikely event it later appears we will be moving more dirt and cutting more trees than now appears to be the case, I will contact him for a determination and permit, if necessary. 5. 1 am going to make the bunkhouses and cafeteria all 3800 sf each to avoid needing an engineer stamp on the the floorplans/elevations (the structures themselves will still be identical "stock plans"and of course come with a WA engineer's stamp.) 6. To give me a little breathing room under my tight timeframe, I have decided to put the central restrooms, kitchens, laundry, and nurse's stations all in their own separate stand-alone buildings (either one or two buildings), so I can get them built and approved ahead of completing the bunkhouses. i.e. The reasoning is that you might be willing to give me temporary occupancy on a utility-grade bunkhouse so long as it is safe and weatherproof, but no one will sign off on sanitation/ kitchens/water/etc until they are 100% complete, and I must have all the health-related stuff done in order to open. So I can't take the chance on bunkhouse/cafeteria progress screwing up more critical elements. 7. btw, Related to#6, bunkhouses will be rough-plumbed into slabwork for plumbing/HVAC, etc...but for the July camp debut this year, they will be nothing but empty buildings with cots (with sprinklers, if necessary), but no utilities except electricity for safety lighting. 8. On the issue of sitework and stormwater, I read the regulations so I should mention that, though there is over 5,000 sf of impervious surface being created, I am clearing less than 1 acre. This apparently puts the project in a lower category, the ramifications of which I am not entirely clear, so I merely mention it. 9. Speaking of Public Works, I obtained a copy of the manual mentioned in the meeting: "Low Impact Development: Technical Guide for Puget Sound"WSU/Pierce County Extension" Curtis Hinman. So thanks for the lead, it will come in useful. 10. Also, you asked for a copy of the WAC "Camps" reg. Here it is. Shortly I will talk to Health Department to see if they want to provide me with the application forms mentioned in the WAC and conduct the review and licensing, or if they want to let the state handle it. 11. As you can see from the WAC, tempered water is allowable, and it is (3/15/2007) Debbera Coker- Re: PAR2006-00014 Page 3 my desire to use tempered water(say, 98 - 102 degrees)for showers and lavatories coming from large, insulated holding tank(s). This is so everyone has a nice shower, as opposed to some boiling and some freezing during spike usage. We will, however, have separate hot&cold running water in the kitchens. We will be using 200,000 btu propane instant water heaters, as many as needed. 12. You mention accessibility as one of your chief concerns. I am currently studying the regs, including ADA, and hopefully you will have little to correct when you see the plans. QUESTIONS: 1. 1 am doing something a little unusual for the bunkhouses and cafeteria dining hall (again, kitchens will be located across a covered courtyard in a separate building), using 2 by 12 purlins so I can fit either R30 or high-density R38 and still leave the required 1" ventilation, in this case via holes + screens at the ends of each horizontal purlin cavity. This seems to comply with IBC 2006 codes...does this agree with Mason County codes? 2. For the kitchen/restroom buildings, which are largely seasonal (and can be heated or unheated --I am indifferent), what will be the R-value requirement? (This affects the purlin size, and therefore the entire structural design.) 3. Is it permissible to use exposed water supply-line and sink drain plumbing pipes in the restrooms/laundry/ kitchens? (toilets would of course be in the slab and for showers see#4 below)The reason I ask is, time being so tight, I am considering putting tightly nailed 3/4 OSB or plywood on the inside of framing for restrooms/kitchens,/laundry, then covering it with tile board up to 8'with adhesive and caulked, sanitary, screwed-in seam-joiners, so I quickly get my"waterproof, easily washable ..etc"...interiors required by code. Then, thanks to the OSB or plywood backing I can attach piping/fixtures/etc, after the fact and with reduced regard for stud spacing. 4. 1 am torn between using individual fiberglass shower stalls or creating shower areas over in-slab drains, and then partitioning them for privacy. So my questions are: 1) if I use fiberglass shower stalls, can I elevate them a little so I can run several to one in-slab drain, or must each one be directly over its own in-slab drain? 2) if simply create shower areas right on the slab, do I need one drain per j (3/15/2007) Debbera Coker- Re: PAR2006-00014 Page 4 shower head, or can I have multiple shower heads drain to one in-slab drain? (This seems like mostly a health issue rather than a drain capacity issue, since the main issue would seem to be that one person is standing in someone else's run-off...but locker rooms do seem to be commonly constructed that way.) 5. In looking over the state fire code it says: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=51-50-0903 *903.2.7 <http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=903.2.7> Group R.*An automatic fire sprinkler system installed in accordance with Section 903.3 shall be provided throughout all buildings with a Group R fire area. EXCEPTION: Group R-1 if all of the following conditions apply: 1. The Group R fire area is no more than 500 square feet and is used for recreational use only. 2. The Group R fire area is only one story. 3. The Group R fire area does not include a basement. 4. The Group R fire area is no closer than 30 feet from another structure. (3/15/2007) Debbera Coker- Re: PAR2006-00014 Page 5 5. Cooking is not allowed within the Group R fire area. 6. The Group R fire area has an occupant load of no more than 8. 7. A hand held (portable)fire extinguisher is in every Group R fire area. What I am unclear on is the definition of: "Fire Area." In the case of bunkhouses, if"500 sf fire area means" the overall size of the building, then I need sprinklers. But if it means the size of the individual rooms, then the sleeping rooms are each 16 by 20 = 320 feet, which also equals 8 occupants according to the 40 sf per occupant requirement of the"Camps"WAC. There is also a 640 sf common room in the design, but I don't mind reducing it to under 500 sf so every room in the bunkhouse meets the criteria. The buildings will be over 30 apart anyway. So the question is: can I avoid sprinklers or not? 6. A related question is: even if I can avoid sprinklers, would I want to, since then I might need higher partition fire ratings? But I can't weigh out the cost/benefits unless I know my options. Just trying to reduce moving parts that might cause delays or add unnecessary costs. I have no desire to skimp on safety. Finally, in reviewing the permits fees schedule it appears that at 7 9 p PP least the bunkhouses are both Group R and commercial. I see that Group R fees are based on square footage ($73 per sf) but that is far more than these utility bunkhouses are costing. Commercial fees aren't noted. So my question is this: Can my building permit fees be based on actual, reasonable, documented costs (verified by bids/ invoices/ estimates/etc)? Not looking for a deal here,just a fair shake-every $1,000 1 spend on permit fees is $1,000 1 don't have for kitchen ovens, musical instrument rentals and ice cream bars for the students, cots, etc. btw, I realize you are saving me some money on review with the stock plan provision, and I appreciate it.

Hello, Years ago,my interest in architecture and a romantic view of the pre-modern world often led me to England. There I would rent a car and head out to the countryside to visit stately homes and country estates. One day I arrived at a house called Polesdon Lacey. At that moment in time I carried with me a great deal of stress due to business pressures back home. Even as I wandered around this tranquil oasis, I was constantly aware of the oppressive weight of worry I brought with me. It wore me out: not the wandering,but rather the mental burden. So I sat down on an ancient stone bench overlooking a breathtaking vista of gardens,lawns,parklands, and the valley beyond. Paradise was lost on ma -i an my et�fa of mini Ihet T sir ten haotan An--to t�tr onnthar efa T cat fnr hnnrc �ninn nnthinn on nnfomiliar thine fnr o f�naty high_ http://www.averytownship.com/avery_township_website_2-1-07_010.htm 3/7/2007 www.averyto—n--hip.com/aboutus Page 2 of 4 •aav, 5. aaay Jauw v♦aiuuu, vuL a rr uu wv wuwu uv rr as w �uaivuaVa owl AL iva aiv ua u, uviia 6 uvuiiiar', uu uauuaiaaa►cu uaiiar awL u aau�.y,auk. strum_ ion used to constant activity. Slowly I became aware of somethi__a-.range and unexpected happening to me. Something foreign was weiimg up inside: a sense of ease that soon became liberation. It didn't stop there. By the time exhilaration overtook me,all the dark and debilitating thoughts I brought with me had somehow been crowded out and dispersed like dandelions in the wind. I felt the sun on my face and quite literally,smelled the roses,because my stone bench was backed up against a rose garden. I thought:what just happened?Then it dawned on me. Someone,200 years ago,sat right here and saw,felt,and smelled exactly what I am now experiencing. This place,by its timeless,unchanging, aesthetic nature,has transported me to a time and place where none of my worries even existed they don't live here,they don't belong here,they are still centuries in the future. Prior to this epiphany, I had looked at escapism as a form of avoidance,denial,and procrastination. Suddenly I saw it as a means of rejuvenation, rebalancing,and gaining a clear head to tackle problems with renewed perspective and energy. I thought to myself,if a place like this has this effect on me,it will have this effect on anyone and everyone. Sitting there,many years ago,I told myself if I ever had the means to do so,I would build a place like this and anyone who wanted or needed the re- humanizing magic it offered could come and sit.This was the genesis for Jewel House which,true to purpose,is the changeless,essential center of Avery Township. "Inside the walls"of Jewel House is thirty acres that once perfected will,I hope,never change.I want it to be the best place any visitor has ever found for personal reflection and renewal,simply by wandering around,as well as providing a perfect and breathtakingly beautiful backdrop for life's most important moments,for example weddings. But in contrast to the tranquil oasis inside the walls created for quiet,personal self discovery,outside the walls is a swirling,dynamic,though thematically consistent,environment with the opposite mission:to serve a collective public good through a unique,diverse mix of culturally/ artistically/environmentally/socially important events,activities,and programs. All are essential ingredients of a compelling narrative,rather than being a litany of disparate elements. And these activities share another quality:they entertain while educating and enriching. The dictionary defines humanist as: "...a person having a strong interest in or concern for human welfare,values,and dignity..."It defines enlightened as: "...highly educated;having extensive information or understanding..." My father and mother—whose names by the way are Avery and Jewel—are the best examples I know of enlightened humanists. But they would find such a description overly intellectual because their outlook was down-to-earth and can be summed up in what my dad often found himself having to remind me of. "The World Does Not Revolve Around You!"In other words,the world is full of people and they all matter just as much as you do: everyone is equal,everyone has worth and something valuable to contribute,everyone is entitled to their dignity and a shot at happiness and prosperity,everyone is entitled to live,think,and act in whatever manner they choose if it doesn't interfere with others. It troubled them,and now it troubles me,that America has become such a shrill,shallow place where people too often don't think as deeply,critically, creatively, and constructively as they can and should.Not surprisingly,this has led to a disposable culture—which really amounts to no culture at all in the traditional sense.Far from its original purpose and promise,America is today, sadly,a place where people with great ability and desire to make important contributions to the common good in ideas,art,and social progress are more often than not shut out or drowned out by those with narrow, divisive, self-serving agendas or by corporate interests. "Leave The World Better Than You Found It"is emblazoned over the entrance to Avery Township.It means three things. First and foremost,it is a message to my children who,despite their young age,are deeply involved in helping design it. They will help breathe the initial life into it and,if they choose,will own and run it when they are old enough. Rennnd it meanc- "Tn thi-.nlane.vnn will find a -.mall hiimnni-.t exneriment that attemptq to make the.wnrld n little hettPr Tt is a n1are that ntherc ran http://www.averytownship.com/avery_township_website_2-1-07_010.htm 3/7/2007 www.averytownship.com/aboutus Page 3 of 4 .�.. . —1 ...... .7__ 11... breatl._ ___sir own life into,a place where people with ideas,arts, and soci4._.;sions to contribute will find a ready stage to do so for today and ror posterity." Third, a message,encouragement,perhaps even an inspiration: "Now that you've seen what we're doing at Avery Township, and done so by rejecting all conventional wisdom(not to mention pretty much everything you learn at business school and in industry),please take a chance on your own to do something innovative and high impact that will pay positive social dividends." That last encouragement is a big deal because this is the best location in the country to make such a plea:the Northwest has what may be the largest concentration anywhere of enlightened humanists: fair-minded people who value egalitarianism but honor merit and genuinely care about the welfare of others,especially those in need—folks who value intellectual and artistic contributions and are vitally concerned with the state of our society and the environment. Besides,there's countless retired and semi-retired local tech execs that can afford to do something interesting for the sake of a meaningful social payoff. By the way,I am a semi-retired tech exec myself with a typical background(tech exec at F500,mid-size NASDAQ, and startup companies, Stanford MBA...etc)so no one is more surprised than me that I would do something so speculatively far out of the mainstream. Here's a thought I want to share with my peers: "Hey you guys,you made your money making stuff that was obsolete before it even shipped and obediently jumping through hoops to make money for people that were rich already.Now,how about doing something that will outlive you,will still be helping others that need it long after you are gone,and make your kids proud of their last name?Why not create and leave a legacy that says you were about something,something more important than your personal wealth,comfort,and standing, something bigger than yourself?If I can do a little thing like Avery Township,I bet you can do something bigger,better,bolder,and with higher social impact!" And if you are more comfortable in software and the virtual world, there's still many for-profit projects you can undertake that can contribute to social progress. A single Big Idea can assume many faces. As one example, here's a tech startup that(if you stop to think it through) has the same mission as Avery Township,though with polar opposite elements. www.haldiss.com In any case, whatever projects local social entrepreneurs choose to undertake,wouldn't it be exciting and gratifying to see the Northwest become a hotbed of diverse, innovative ideas in social investment?

A strong element of Avery Townships's appeal is that you can attend a cultural event and then walk to your tipi or tent. As a young Indian growing up on the Blackfeet Reservation,Avery Paisley(d. 1997, father and grandfather of the Paisleys building Avery Township)would stay in the summer tipi encampments that have always been one of the atosi Blackfeet's most important traditions. The Blackfeet,who live in a part of Montana that sees the nicest summers and the coldest winters in the U.S., say that"summer is heaven,winter To Village ! Compgroun is hell."Natosi Tipi Village is fashioned after these encampments and the name Natosi (which means sun)reflects that in summertime, this place is heaven. What better place to dream? http://www.averytownship.com/avert'_township_website_2-1-07-008.htm >i7i2U0 i www.averytownship.com/natositipivillage Page 2 of 2 17 ik x�b I ''v i � S s� f �!�`��� �� mow+♦ Y http://www.averytownship.com/avery_township_website_2-1-07_008.htm 3/7/2007 Case Ac :y Listing 3n12007 11:49:21AM Case #: ENF2006-00148 IPIO Assigned Done Activity Description Date 1 Date 2 Date 3 Hold Disp To By Updated Updated By ENFA010 Complaint Received 12/5/2006 12/5/2006 None Sip 12/5/2006 BKD Extensive clearing,burning and grading,gravel dumped.

Thank you PAC Commissioners Edgin, Ervin, Hupp, and Jeffreys, and Planner Allan Borden! Great News! On February 6, 2007, County Commissioners voted unanimously to rezone Avery Township. Our new zoning provides greater scope, scale, and flexibility in site development, events, activities, and offerings. Everyone wins: the Mason County economy &work force, visitors &tourists, local farmers &entrepreneurs, and the regional educational, artistic, and cultural experience and community. Avery Township is a rural events/retreat/activity center encompassing over 2,000,000 square feet of parklands, farmlands, and forests. It is located near Shelton,WA, 90 minutes southwest of Seattle. Visitors step back in time to participate,not just observe, what life was like 200 years ago. There's something for everyone: kids and grown-ups, city and country folks --and especially for culturally/environmentally/heritage conscious visitors in search of a unique,memorable experience in a tranquil,pristine, picturesque natural paradise. Many of the venues at Avery Township are available for rent and can accommodate anything from small and mid-size retreats/events/workshops educational camps to large-scale music or arts festivals. Priority is given to groups with a positive,powerful social or cultural mission--in other words,people that are doing something material to leave the world better than they found it.
