You asked me to write a lettr.r stating our position. <br />Now that you can se= the reduced scale of the addition frorr our original scheme, it <br />becomes obvious that we'2 adding far'�ss than 500 square feet of living area to <br />the house (actually, wE're adding only 112 SF to the areas to tre ihe FamilV Noom <br />and Breakfast Room�. W��hington Slate VIAO Code: Section 101.3.1.1, <br />Esception �1 states: <br />"Additions that do not inciude kitchens, bathrooms, water closets, indoor <br />swirnming poois, spas ar�d other areas where excess water vapors are <br />produced and are less than 500 square feet are exempt from Chapter 3." <br />It's our opinion that the scale of this project exempL us from the Whole House <br />Ventilation and out�oor air inlets. It should be noted tha[ we are adding spot <br />ventilatio�i at the kitchen and each of the icur bathrooms. <br />Although I teel we are fully exempted as explained above, Secfion 101.3.1.3 <br />states: <br />"His[onc buildings are exempt trom tnis Code only to the extent <br />necessary to preserve those features essential to their historical <br />appearance or fur.cton:' <br />Th:s house has been documented by Kris Ravetz, Historic PresPrvnti�n Specialist, <br />Evzreit Plannino Department. it is listed on the Everett Histotic Regisler and is <br />eligible for nomination to the Notional Register. Our main concerns with these <br />requimments are peppering the facade with outdcor air inlets, ns well as root vents <br />on an othenvise un-penetrated and very visible roof. We teel these elzments <br />would jeopardize the historic integrity ot the house that we are wurking hard to <br />preserve. <br />'fou �rere also concemed with the h'.gh CFM's on the kitchen range hood. You <br />mentiuned the necessity of a fire-rated shatt. To brir,g you up to date, we have <br />changed the range to a standnrd gas cuoktop and the rangehootl to a different <br />Iocallon that will vent direcUy through ihe ceiling to the outside. I am still using a <br />Thermador 1000 CFM ventilator tor the :.ole reasons Ihat the hood being A6" <br />above the cooktop (instead of the sGandard 27") and the island application with <br />cross dratts being a problem. The ductwork will run through the Ititchen ceiliny to <br />tlie outside where the vendlator will be inconspicuously hidden on the porch roof. <br />
