l.; August 6, 2008 .0 Steve Miller Associate Engineer Engineering/ Public Service Department City of Everett 3200 Cedar Street Everett, WA 98201 Re: Owner: Everett Shipyard Job Address: 2730 Federal Ave Plan Check No.: B0807-020 Dear Mr. Miller, Please find attached revised plans and other submission in respect of the issues raised in your letter dated July 22, 2008. Your issues are addressed below: 1) Section 704.8 requirements: Pursuant to your request we have submitted a the revised site plan move the building 10 feet from the north lease line, (versus 5 feet previously); 2) Section 16.76 Automatic Sprinkler System: The building subject to permit is a covered work space for metal welding and fabrication. The roof and superstructure will be made entirely of non-combustible material. Given the use, practical options are not available for an automatic sprinkler system that would not be constantly triggered by false positive indications. In lieu of an automatic sprinkler system we propose the addition of a water monitor capable of reaching all areas of the work space. Such an approach has the additional advantage of providing additional fire protection to other areas of the facility. The particular water monitor is shown in Attachment A with its reach characteristic as provided by the manufacturer provide in Attachment B. 3) Section 16.76 Automatic Fire Detection System: For the reasons outline above, an automatic fire detection system is not practical. In lieu of such a system we propose adding fire alarm boxes at each end of the work structure (i.e., at all times workers would be no more than 100 feet from a fire alarm box), a fire warning siren and a clearly marked evacuation assembly area. We are hopeful that these revisions will address your concerns while enhancing fire protection for the site as a whole. Should you have any questions or need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. President
