Exceptions: This section shall not apply to buildings less than 5,000 gross square feet or any building constructed of wood frame, as long as none of the aforementioned buildings make use of any metal frame construction, high radio frequency attenuation glazing and window frames, or any below-grade storage or parking areas. 510.3.2 Any person required to maintain adequate radio coverage as specified in Section 510.3.1 above shall provide prior written notification to the SERS System Manager at the time a building permit application is submitted to the city of Everett. Written evidence of such prior written notification shall be given to the city of Everett Building Official before a building permit application will be accepted. 510.3.3 Persons constructing new or remodeled facilities which include systems intended for providing in-building service for other wireless services shall make provision for including public safety radio signals into such system. This capability shall at a minimum include provision of bidirectional amplification as required. This requirement shall apply to structures of all sizes whenever such in-building wiring or services are to be provided. 510.3.4 No person shall install in buildings of any type or size devices specifically intended to prevent the reception of signals intended for cellular telephones, pagers, wireless communications devices, or public safety radios. 510.3.5 No person shall install or use building materials specifically marketed or engineered to prevent the ingress of radio signals, except where such materials may be required to shield laboratory or research facilities. Use of any such materials in laboratory or research facilities shall be clearly noted in any construction permit application documents and written notification of the use of any such materials shall be provided to SERS at the time of permit application submittal. Signs notifying occupants, emergency services and law enforcement personnel of such shielding conditions shall be conspicuously posted both at the entrance and on the interior of such areas. 510.4. Performance. A study shall be prepared and reviewed prior to plan approval that demonstrates that the signal levels within the proposed structure meet or exceed the criteria established below. When measuring the performance of a bi-directional amplifier, signal strength measurements are based on an input signal from the SERS system adequate to obtain a maximum continuous operating output level. Multiple carrier environments shall take into account the presence of non-SERS 27
