We are submitting <br /> this letter as support documentation that a structural analysis will not be provided by the utility <br /> company. Please see the exemption detail below. <br /> SnoPud will be responsible for developing the design loads for the structure and performing the <br /> design of the structure which includes all equipment mounted on the structure including the <br /> WCF equipment per the Washington Administrative Code 296-46,the National Electric Safety <br /> Code (NESC) and electric utility standards and practices. The analysis will use WCF antenna <br /> loads and design provided by T-Mobile. <br /> Utility structures have long been exempt from the Uniform Building Code (UBC) under section <br /> 101.3 of the 1997 code and the change to the International Building Code (IBC) has not <br /> eliminated that exemption. Public utility structures are specifically exempt from the provision <br /> of the IBC and as such design calculations are not required to be provided to the permitting <br /> agency. SnoPud's construction personnel or other designated qualified electrical workers will <br /> be responsible for any work on the structure in and above the electric supply space which <br /> involves work such as electric lines, equipment modifications, installation of a new pole and/or <br /> installation or maintenance of antennas and cable. The new or modified structure shall <br /> continue to be under the ownership of SnoPud. <br /> OFFICIAL SNOPUD IBC EXEMPTION LETTER WILL BE PROVIDED PRIOR TO PERMIT ISSUANCE. <br /> Should you have any further questions regarding this exemption, please let me know. <br />
