PUBLIC WORKS ti April 5, 2016 Rafael Martinez Association President Beverly Lake Condominium Assoc. 7405 Beverly Lane#203 Everett WA,98203 Subject: Temporary Elevator Deactivation Approval Dear Mr.Martinez, This is in reply to your March 31 letter requesting the City of Everett to allow the elevator to be temporarily inactivated at 7405 Beverly lane. As we previously discussed, International Property Maintenance code Section 606.2 states that the elevator must be maintained in operation at all times unless temporarily out of service for testing or repair. I am approving this request for temporary elevator deactivation based on the following findings: • All owners have signed a request to temporarily deactivate the elevator. • The building does not have any Type A accessible units. • Each apartment unit is multi-level with on-grade accessible entry. • If the building were re-built today exactly as it currently exists, an elevator would not be required to be installed within the building. • Access to the units from the parking garage without the elevator is up a driveway apron to the sidewalk. The slope of the driveway exceeds 1:12 as is required for ramps. Street access is immediately adjacent to the building entrances however and should be sufficient for short-term usage. • Elevator activation will be required to be recommenced for cause at any time upon written request by the City of Everett Building Official. You will need to contact Labor and Industries directly in order to get approval to deactivate the elevator. Please let me know if I may be of further service. I may be reached directly at(425) 257-9912 or at tlee(&everettwa.gov. Sincerely, Tony Cee Building Official City of Everett CC: Everett Fire Marshal CITY OF EVERETT 0 3200 Cedar Street • Everett, WA 98201 • (425)257-8810 • Fax(425) 257-8857
