It is understood that the primary usage of the structure shall remain as <br />part of the District's electric system and the installation of the WCF equipment is a secondary function which may <br />require modification to or replacement of the existing structure. <br />The District will be responsible for developing the design loads for the structure and performing the design of the <br />structure which includes all equipment mounted on the structure including the WCF equipment per the Washington <br />Administrative Code 296-46, the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) and electric utility standards and practices. <br />The analysis will use WCF antenna loads and design provided by Verizon <br />Utility structures have long been exempt from the Uniform Building Code (UBC) under section 101.3 of the 1997 <br />code and the change to the International Building Code (IBC) in 2000 through 2015, under section 105.2.3 has not <br />eliminated that exemption. Public utility structures are specifically exempt from the provision of the IBC and as <br />such design calculations are not required to be provided to the permitting agency. However, the District <br />acknowledges that WCF is a secondary function on the utility structure and the owner of such equipment will be <br />required to comply with the county permitting and review process.

The new or modified structure shall continue to be under the <br />ownership of the District. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 783-5681. <br />Sincerely, <br />Maureen "Moe" Nave <br />Manager, Joint Use and Permits <br />1802 - 75th Street S.W. + Everett, WA + 98203 / Mailing Address: P.O.
