One of the city departments said it was -the semi-annual back flushing of the water system and another city department said it was the fire department performing random flow testing of the fire hydrants. Whichever department it was, we apologize if this caused you any inconvenience. We have stressed to the city on numerous occasions the importance of notifying us in advance of the performance of these projects. However, these things continue to happen without regard to notifying the businesses in the affected areas. The food service businesses, in particular, are affected by these occurrences. Once again, we are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you and we hope that this will not happen again. Should you have any questions, please contact me at 774-1511. cc Larry Naughten Peter Hahn Jack Weinz✓ RECEIVED Edmonds Water Department Administrative Office JAN 121990 EDMONDS FIRE DEP.T� 180 West Dayton, Suite 202-A.

NAUGHTEN MAYOR April 11, 1988 There are two separate and distinct issues we are dealing with in the mall: (1) The minimum clearance of the corridors during nor- mal everyday use of the mall and (2) The issue of special events to be held in the mall corridor. As far as the first issue is concerned, the mall corridor clear- ance was established prior to the issuance of the construction per- mit in 1984. Uniform Building Code, Section 714(g) intends no pro- jections into the mall width shall be allowed. The builders and the architects accepted this requirement prior to construction. Clarification of the first issue in Mr. Barbera's letter of March 1, 1988 again states that a 20 foot minimum clearance must be maintained. It is his interpretation (and mine) that the ten foot projection reference does not apply in a way which reduces the 20 foot absolute minimum requirement. This restriction applies to all furniture, planters and static displays within the exit corridors of the mall. The City Staff is in complete agreement with this require- ment and it was best stated in the Mayor's letter dated March 17, 1988. In Paragraph Seven he states: "It is clear that the hallways have to be kept clear." I do not believe that this item needs any further clarification. The second issue, special events, which I believe we are in agreement on and which was addressed in the Mayor's March 17, 1988 letter, which states "If the Square wishes a special event, then an off -duty fire prevention officer will have to be on site to insure public safety, etc." The fire prevention officer will be required to be a member of an organized fire department. The firefighter will be required to be in uniform during the event. Ms. Hill, this letter states the firm position of the City and we request that you come into compliance. If you still feel that our interpretation is incorrect, the choice to arbitrate or litigate is yours.

BARBERA, P.E. REGIONAL MANAGER FRANK S.NATSUHARA, P.E. REGIONAL ENGINEER CHARLESJ. WILLIAMS, P.E. REGIONAL ENGINEER have read the letter from Harbor Square Associates concerning placing .plants, benches, etc. into the required width of their mall. I had never -read it that way before but I can see that the words in the code could lead one to think that although the mall itself is 20' wide, that you really only need a 10' clear width to projections as outlined in Appendix Section 714(g) . It would have been better if the words said "Minimum clear width of the mall shall be 20"' because that is the intent of the provision. You can have obstructions in the mall and still not protect it if: o You make the mall larger than 20' in gross width to account for the width of the obstructions. o You may have multiple clear spaces between the obstructions just so long as each module is 10' in width. o If any projection extends to a point which is less than 8' above the floor, then the 10' Wide module has to be measured' from the mall end of the projection. o Thee has to be a minimum of two 10' clear width by 8' clear height modules. o This 20' clear width should also be large enough to accom- modate the tributary occupant load in that segment (approx- imately 2000 people) . If more people are tributary, the total clear width would be larger. ROBERT D. WEBER, P.E., C.B.O.

Enclosure Regional Manager c/Jon Traw, ICBO Main Office: 5360 South Workman Mill Road • Whittier, California 90601 • (213) 699-0541 UNIFORM BUILDING CODE APPENDIX Chapter 1 This new chapter is virtually identical to Appendix Chapter I -A in the Uniform Fire Code, except for editorial reformatting to suit the format of the Uniform Building Code and changed terminology to refer to the building official rather than the fire chief. These provisions apply to all buildings, including residential occupancies, and the former provisions of Appendix Chapter 12 relating to existing residential occupancies have been deleted. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 is an entirely new chapter and consists of two parts. Part I addresses the subject of covered malls and Part 11 addresses aviation control towers. Part I, Secs. 711 through 715. New appendix provisions have been included in the Uniform Building Code to set forth specific code requirements for covered mall buildings. The provisions for covered malls in this appendix chapter are applicable to covered mall buildings having not more than three levels. Part I incorporates special provisions that consider the unique aspects of these buildings. For features of covered malls that are not unique, the general provi- sions of the code apply. Also, covered mall buildings complying in all respects with the general provisions of the code are not required to comply with Part I of Appendix Chapter 7. Some of the special provisions for covered mall buildings are as follows: l . Automatic fire sprinkler systems are required throughout. 2. Class I (dry) standpipes with 2'/ -inch outlets are required in the mall at the entrance to an exit passageway or exit corridor. Outlets are also required at each floor level or landing within enclosed stairways opening directly into the mall. In addition, standpipe outlets are also required adjacent to the principal exterior entrances to the mall. The standpipe system is required to be fully charged with water in large -area buildings as an inordinate amount of time would be required to fill the required standpipe system by the fire department in large systems. 3. Sixty feet of open space is required around the mall, parking garages and anchor stores when the provisions for unlimited area are applied. 4. Smoke control systems are required to restrict smoke movement so that the mall area will be kept free of smoke by developing an air pressure in the mall that is greater than pressure in adjacent tenant areas. Most of the smoke developed by a fire would be vented to the atmosphere without entering the mall. 5. Fire -resistive separations are required between each tenant space, except between the tenant space and the mall. 50 6. Public address systems are required to be accessible for use by the fire partme+,t.---.—.�— --- 7. Exit requirements are generally the same as for other occupancies, but the mall corridor is not required tg�a of fire -resistive construction when it is at least 20 fe: t in width. 41n addition; a 10-foot clear width is required between any tenant space and kim1c "vending machine, bench or display or other yip obstruction topgress_in_thc_tnall. Covered mall buildings regulated by these new provisions are classified as Group B, Division 2 Occupancies, and their area may be unlimited. Malls of one and two levels may be of any type of construction, but three -level malls must be at least Type 11, One -hour construction. Part II, Secs, 716 through 721. These new provisions for aircraft control towers are intended to reconcile the differences between the life safety functions of air traffic control towers and the life safety requirements of the Uniform Building Code. For example, an air traffic control tower life safety requirement demands that controllers in the cab or observation level have a 360-degree view. This would not be possible if a stairway enclosure is required to that level. The life and property loss in these towers has been very small even though they have not complied completely with all the code requirements in the past. In developing these provisions, consideration was given to the inherent qualities of the use which makes the normal code requirements unnecessary. For example, air traffic control personnel are required to be examined to assure that they are sound of body and mind. Recognition was also given to the life safety record in these uses and specific limitations were imposed on the allowable size, type of construction, etc. Also, early warning systems by smoke detectors are required and these devices are to be part of an approved fire alarm system having audible alarms in all occupied areas. Furthermore, standby power and emergency generation systems are required. Chapter 12 Appendix Chapter 12 relating to existing Group R, Division I Occupancies has been deleted in favor of the new Appendix Chapter 1. See analysis for Appendix Chapter 1. New provisions have been adopted in Chapter 12. which adopts the One and Two Family Dwelling Code by reference. See analysis for Uniform Building Code Section 1201. Chapter 35 Sec. 3502. This section has been updated to refer to the 1981 edition of the manual. Chapter 48 This appendix chapter has been deleted.

Edmonds, WA 98020 RE: Harbor Square Mall Dear Gary: I am writing to you as a follow up to our meeting of Friday, April 1, 1988. It was my understanding before our meeting that you had been given the authority to make a decision regarding the Mall, the items located in the common area and special events in the Mall. You informed me during our meeting, however, that you were not willing to make a decision, that Mayor Naughten was the final authority in this issue. Since Mayor Naughten is out of the country, we are unfortunately no closer to any decisions or agreements regarding this issue than previously. As regards the UBC code, Section 714(g) Malls, we feel the City has yet to provide us with a clear interpretation of this code and we have therefore checked with our own sources. Not only our own architect, but an architect with a major Seattle firm assures us that our interpretation is correct. In reading over this Section, we continue to assert that we are in compliance with this code with regard to the plants, benches, ashtrays, etc. located in the common area of the Mall. Let me quote from that Section, "There shall be a minimum of 10 feet clear width to a height of 8 feet between any projection" (i.e. a bench), "from a tenant space bordering the mall and the nearest kiosk, vending machine, bench, display or other obstruction to egress.", (i.e. the wall opposite the bench). The intent of this code is obviously to maintain a clearance of ten feet to the exits of a mall and this, we feel, is exactly what we now have. RECLIVED APR 71988 180 West Dayton, Suite 202-A, Edmonds, Washington 98020 (206) 774-8993 EDMONDS FIRE DEPT. Gary McComas, Fire Marshal April 6, 1988 Page 2 Also you suggested the possibility of arbitration as a solution to this issue; however, at this point in time we feel it would be premature to arbitrate or litigate this issue, particularly since we continue to assert that we are in compliance. As for special events in the Mall, please reference your copy of Mayor Naughten's letter to Dick Beselin dated March 17, 1988, paragraph 7. Since we would very much like to continue with certain special events in the Mall, such as displays of paintings and photographs, we would suggest displaying items along the edge of the Mall corridors so that the "10 feet clear width" in the corridor is maintained. An "off -duty fire prevention officer to be on site to insure public safety" per Mayor Naughten's letter would be required of any group whose displays or activities would interfere with the "10 feet clear width" code section. Since you did not recall the Mayor's recommendation of posting a fire prevention officer forspecial events during our meeting yesterday, this reference to his letter of March 17 will I hope refresh your memory. If you have any questions, please call me.

Naughten Mayor SUBJECT: HARBOR SQUARE CODE COMPLIANCE Your conclusions regarding the Harbor Square situation are wrong - so let's get the matter clarified. All our jobs are demanding. My job is to try to help people get what they want and not over -compromise the municipal system, or its codes. As a former councilman, I have witnessed some code compromises in the past relating to developers, which I would never tolerate. I really doubt that you've never had any problems with code enforcement in past years. We want code compliance in the malls. Mr. Beselin doesn't understand why, after three -and -half years, the City has a prob- lem with the malls. The benches and planters are for the retail- ers and their customers. We have not been clear in explaining Section A714 (g) because there still exists a misunderstanding regarding the 10' clear - 8' high requirements of 714 (g). Gary should get with Connie and explain this Section and compliance requirements. Regarding baseline information - again, meet with Connie and explain why we need this information. Conference Room A is being reduced in size (I assume a permit was obtained); Conference Room C was supposed to be brought up to Code as requested. These should be verified. I'm not going to continue to orchestrate this matter indefinite- ly. Mr. Beselin will continue to call me whenever he feels he's being "unjustly hassled", as he currently feels. That's his right. I'm getting a little tired of the whole thing. I don't know what's been said, but wrong impressions have been made. My letter of 3/17/88 seems clear to me. I don't understand the assumption that "all Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code provisions are in abeyance". The only agreement we were waiting on to have signed was regarding Mini -Conference Room A (see attachment). Gary McComas, Fire Marshal Hal Reeves, Building Official March 25, 1988 Page 2. There are no agreements to sign if the Conference Room issue has been resolved. Get with Connie and explain our requirements and 714 (9) and continue on. If you have any problems discuss them with Jack Weinz. I told Dick that Gary will contact Connie for the information we need and if problems continue to contact Jack Weinz.

Many of the problems we run into are the result �a..f. Harbor Square not first getting permits on tenant improve- ments. The results of this are code violations and after -the -fact prob- lems. From now on, if we have any code problems, we will first contact your Property Manager and notify that person. We will also send you a copy. Now.let's review your specific concerns. When Harbor. Square was developed you opted to go with the minimum 20-foot t dimension, you cannot have obstructions in aisle width. According to tha the aisles; clothing racks & tables constitute code violation. You will have to keep those aisles free of obstructions or we have to issue your tenants notices. This is not an arbitrary situation, but State fire/safety codes we have to enforce. 'Regarding your min -conference rooms A & B. (Room A has a maximum people allowance of 85, which, by code, carries specific fire code requirements. Now, if you will give us a signed statement that Harbor Square will post this room for no more than 50 people maximum, and control that number, then we will only require those code requirements for 50 people or less. This will be our agreement for one year, as I understand this is only a temporary use. -If this agreement is not kept, then you'll have to comply - to the Code. Room B is a 126 person room and has to comply to fire safe- ty codes or else the City is legally liable for not enforcing the Code. Dick, the City wants to cooperate with Harbor Square and we have done so in many. ways in the past. The problem with some of these code require- ments is that there isn't much flexibility.

From that letter we have developed the follow- ing conclusions that need verification. 1.. The office of the Mayor will continue to orchestrate this matter indefinitely. 2. All Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code provisions relating to Harbor Square are to be held in abeyance until your office receives the signed agreement, originally dated January 26, 1988. Because this is such an unusual case, we would appreciate documented communication clarifying the parameters that you want us to work within. With all due respect, we want to advise you that we feel that Mr. Beselin has discovered that he can manipulate our code enforcement efforts by involving the Executive Office. You can be assured that any statements made during our contact at Harbor Square were not malicious in nature or intent. Our jobs are very demanding and our daily agenda can cover a wide spectrum of specialities, but the bottom line is when it is built, it had better at least comply with the minimum code. In all the contacts we have made over the years neither one of us has had this kind of a problem, which indicates to us that this situation was precipitated by Mr. Beselin's perception of our activities and not by our activities themselves. We feel that we are highly competent professionals with the ability to re- solve this matter as dictated by code - the sooner the better. Gary L. cComas, Fire MarsFiai Hai Reeves, Building bfficaT 4.

NAUGHTEN MAYOR I wanted to respond to your phone call the other day, along with Connie Hill's letter and Gary McComas and Hal Reeves' visit to Harbor Square. I erred in assuming that Gary and Hal had received all the informa- tion from our meeting on February 12. This has been taken care of and I'll see that all concerned receive a copy of this letter. What we want to do is to establish an information baseline for Harbor Square. The City would like to verify the names of your cur- rent tenants to determine if all the necessary building permits have been obtained for tenant improvements. Dick, you raised a question regarding the City's lease policy at Frances Anderson Center and your concerns over the rates the City charges. (See Linda McCrystal letter of February 29, 1988 at- tached.) There seems to be quite a difference between our space and that in the private sector. Our requirements are much more restric- tive. Why the City originally inquired about the Harbor Square conference rooms seemed to be confusing. You felt the inquiry was perhaps a ploy to get information. I talked to Chief Weinz and found out what actually happened. (See Chief Weinz' memo attached.) I still need you to sign and mail back the Agreement set forth in my letter of 1/26/88 regarding Mini -Conference Rooms A & B and the understanding we outlined. Regarding permits, Harbor Square is not responsible for obtaining tenant permits for tenant improvements. A licensed contractor must sign for a building permit, or Harbor Square must co-sign the permit if the tenant is making their own improvements. If tenants have made improvements without permits, they will have to apply for them and we have to inspect the improvement(s) .

Regarding UBC 714(9) Malls, we asked the ICBO for clarification (see attached letter). It is clear that the hallways have to be kept clear. If the Square wishes a special event, then an off -duty fire prevention officer will have to be on site to insure public safety, etc. If you have any questions, please call me. With all the people in- volved, I want to make sure everyone understands.our procedures and intentions. We want to work with you on these issues, and we can through better communication and understanding. Sincerely, CITY OF EDMONDS rr S.

Parks and Recreation Division SUBJECT: COMPLAINT REGARDING LEASE FEES AT ANDERSON CENTER During a Chamber of Commerce event I attended recently, two Edmonds businessmen complained to me about the lease rates at Anderson Center. They said the per square foot rate of 40� per month was too low and in direct competition with space they are leasing. I indicated to them that in addition to the 40¢, tenants have to pay for some utilities and the leasehold property tax (12.84%) on the total lease fee. Also, I said that we have several "restrictions" on the lease: 1. The hours they are open are limited to the Center's hours. 2. During some special events they have to be closed. 3. There can be no retail sales of stocked merchandise. 4. They are not allowed their own individual business sign on the exterior of the building. 5. Most tenants do not have their own exterior entrances. 6. No reserved parking spaces are available to tenants. 7. Our tenants must also meet the requirement of providing a cultural, educational, or recreational service to the community. I conducted a survey of those spaces in Edmonds and space similar to the Anderson Center in the greater Seattle area. Results of the survey showed that the Center lease rate was not the highest rate, nor was it even close to the lowest. I would be happy to further discuss our lease policy and rate schedule with you and/or community representatives. LM/mw FEES/TXTADMIN March 1, 1988 MEMO TO: Larry S. Naughten Mayor FROM: Jack D. Weinz Fire Chief SUBJECT: CONFERENCE ROOM AT HARBOR SQUARE We became aware of the conference rooms at Harbor Square when Marlo Foster looked into the possibility of the State Emergency Managers holding their 1988 Spring Conference at that facility. Gary McComas was asked if the conference rooms could accommodate 100 plus people. Since Gary was not aware the conference rooms existed, he looked into it. Any time we are made aware of a new business, we make an inspection to make sure all life safety requirements are met.

Any code deficiencies found within a Tenant premises shall be followed up with a notice "to the Tenant" of apparent code violation with a copy to Harbor Square, Attention: Property Manager at 180 W. Dayton, Suite 202-A, Edmonds, WA 98020 2. Building officials, including all department inspectors,. shall limit their discussions to that Tenant'.s violation and not discuss alleged violations not connected with the respective Tenant's space. We also discussed the fact that the City officials should not make any assumptions as to actually who performed the work resulting in the alleged violation. This matter should be be between the Tenant and Harbor Square or the Tenant's contractor. For all concerned, Puget [Jest has no association with Harbor Square and visa versa. They should not be guilty by association as has been presumed in the past. I would like to make it perfectly clear that.Harbor Square wishes to cooperate as necessary. We obviously don't want the added liability, but at the same time we can't expect to have each Tenant nor ourselves commit to memory all of the some 3,600 ordinances, etc. in effect. \ 180 West Dayton, Suite 202-A, Edmonds, Washington 98020 (206) 774-8993 Harbor Square February 12, 1988 Page 2 I would further suggest that when a Tenant is not in compliance, that when the letter of non-compliance is issued, the specific reference to the Code is noted by number, or a copy thereof be included so that it can be reviewed and understood clearly. Thank you for your cooperation. C,'n4Beselin , ic HARBOR SQUARE ASSOCIATES DB:sb CITY OF EDMONDS CIVIC CENTER • EDMONDS. WASHINGTON 98020 • (206) 775-2525 January 26, 1988 Mr. Dick Beselin 180 Dayton Street Edmonds, WA 98020 Dear Dick: LARRY S. NALIGHTEN MAYOR Rather than play phone tag I thought I'd just write to you regarding our conversation the other day. Many of the problems we run into are the result of Harbor Square not first getting permits on tenant improve- ments. The results of this are code violations and after -the -fact prob- lems. From now on, if we have any code problems, we will first contact your Property Manager and notify that person. We will also send you a copy. Now let's review your specific concerns. When Harbor Square was developed you opted to go with the minimum 20-foot aisle width. According to that dimension, you cannot have obstructions in the aisles; clothing racks & tables constitute code violation. You will have to keep those aisles free of obstructions or we have to issue your tenants notices. This is not an arbitrary situation, but State fire/safety codes we have to enforce. Regarding your min -conference rooms A & B. Room A has a maximum people allowance of 85, which, by code, carries specific fire code requirements. Now, if you will give us a signed statement that Harbor Square will post this room for no more than 50 people maximum, and control that number, then we will only require those code requirements for 50 people or less. This will be our agreement for one year, as I understand this is only a temporary use. If this agreement is not kept, then you'll have to comply to the Code. Room B is a 126 person room and has to comply to fire safe- ty codes or else the City is legally liable for not enforcing the Code. Dick, the City wants to cooperate with Harbor Square and we have done so in many ways in the past. The problem with some of these code require- ments is that there isn't much flexibility. Sincerely, CITY OF EDMONDS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: It is hereby agreed that we shall comply with the terms and conditions out- lined in this letter.

Malls The mall with its added life safety systems can be considered a corridor without meeting the requirements of Section 3305 (g) and (h) when the mall complies with the conditions shown in Figure 17. This typical cross-section shows that the clear width of-10 feet _may_be provided on each side separately or tthe-_mall could -actually be only 20 feet wide if there were not any kiosks, vending_machines, benches, displays, etc., contained in the mall.?The 8-foot minimum height provides sufficient clearance to allow smoke removal and exiting to occur simultaneously. Of course the minimum mall width would be superseded when the tributary occupant load on one side is greater than 500, or 1,000 when the minimum of 20 feet is used where there are not any obstructions. w TENANT SPACE VENDING' MACHINE WIDTH 10' MIN.

REGIONAL MANAGER FRANK S.NATSUHARA, P.E. REGIONAL ENGINEER CHARLES J. WILLIAMS, P.E. REGIONAL ENGINEER I have read the letter from Harbor Square Associates concerning placing plants, benches, etc. into the required width of their mall. I had never read it that way before but I can see that the words in the code could lead one to think that although the mall itself is 20' wide, that you really only need a 10' clear width to projections as outlined in Appendix Section 714(g) . It would have been better if the words said "Minimum clear width of the mall shall be 20"' because that is the intent of the provision. You can have obstructions in the mall and still not protect it if: o You make the mall larger than 20' in gross width to account for the width of the obstructions. o You may have multiple clear spaces between the obstructions just so long as each module is 10' in width. o If any projection extends to a point which is less than 8' above the floor, then the '10' wide module has to be measbred from the mall end of the projection. o Thee has to be a minimum of two 10' clear width by 8' clear height modules. o This 20' clear width should also be large enough to accom- modate the tributary occupant load in that segment (approx- imately 2000 people) . If more people are tributary, the total clear width would be larger. I think the Analysis of Revisions is slightly clearer- as to the intent of this section and 1 include a copy of it.

BA-2-88. You have asked me to confirm in writing my comments. As I noted in our conversation, I have a concern regarding the breadth of the requested action in light of the specific provision of the code cited for interpretation. Basically, the appeal is based upon a request for interpretation of the provisions of UBC 714(G), but also in the supplemental attachment requests general authority to conduct special events within the mall itself. The first issue is a matter of interpretation and is appropriate under the provisions of the code, but the second set of requests are for a use variance not within the jur-isdiction:..of the Board of Appeals. For this reason, the Board should be very careful in crafting its decision to address specifically what interpretation, approval or denial they are giving. Section 204 of the code provides that "in order to determine the suitability of alternate materials and methods of construction and to provide for reasonable interpretations of the code, there shall be and is created a Board of Appeals ...". (Emphasis added.] The authority of the Board has frequently been held to be limited to code interpretations and the approval of alternate materials and construction methods. The citation of the UBC 714(G) and the materials which have been provided raise an interesting question, that is, whether the provisions of the section requiring a minimum mall width of 20 feet, should be interpreted to require a minimum width within such mall of 10 feet clear to a height of 8 feet, or whether two 10 foot wide clearances are required. That is, in a mall area, must there by a total clear 20 foot width in 10 foot increments, or only one 10 foot clear space. This issue has been addressed by both the applicant and by the International Council of Building Officials and I will not comment on it here other than to note that this matter has not been interpreted by the Washington courts .and appears entirely appropriate for Board review. Mr. Harold Reeves June 10, 1988 Page 2 However, the action requested by the applicant goes on in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of its attachment to request specific of authority in #the nature of a variance to leave specific items in the mall and to conduct certain events. The applicant should be requested to clarify its application. A copy of this memo is being provided to Mr. Beselin so that his representative can be prepared to address this issue before the Board. The Board's authority is limited to interpretations of the code and authority for the requested actions 3 and 4 should be supplied. It is my opinion that none exists. As an example, if the Board determines that only a 10 foot clearance to a height of 8 feet is required within the mall, then no specific authority is required for the Deli Master tables and chairs to remain, provided that they leave the required corridor. If the Board requires that the full 20 feet is required by the code, then the chairs must be removed. The Board has no _specific variance authority under the code, but only the ability to interpret its provisions. Similarly, they have no authority to approve special events. If the events can be conducted in such a manner that the corridor is preserved, regardless of whether it is one 10 foot width or two, then the events can be conducted. The Board however, has no authority to.generally permit uses which conflict which the specific requirements of the Code. I would suggest that the Board take the following actions: 1. Clarify the application of Harbor Square Associates; 2. If Harbor Square Associates has additional code provisions on which they rely with reference to their requested actions 2, 3, and 4, they should be brought cited; 3. The decision of the Board should specifically address each of the actions requested and determine first whether or not they have jurisdiction to address the issues. If jurisdiction is assumed, they should specify what their specific authority is in a finding and specify the specific VBC section on which they rely. Mr. Harold Reeves June 10, 1988 Page 3 4. In order to clarify their findings and decision, a written decision must be issued. A written decision, is required has the provisions of Section 204. If you wish, I would be happy to draft a decision for Board review based upon their minutes. The minutes should set forth with some specificity what their decision is. This item is extremely important in order that Harbor Square Associates can comply with the terms of the decision and the building official can be advised of the need for any future enforcement or corrective action. I hope that this clarifies our discussion. Both you and the Harbor Square Associates representative should feel free to contact me prior to the hearing if you require any clarification of the opinions expressed in this memo.

We met last Tuesday for our regular union meeting and it was approved by the members to make ourselves available for fire watch details. It was also decided to use the same wage and hourly scale that the Edmonds police use for ferry traffic control. At present, that rate is $15.00 an hour. I understand that the police officers are negotiating a new contract with the ferry system in the near future so I will contact you if our hourly rate changes. We also discussed a selection process for working the fire watch. The members agreed upon a lottery and call list system that Pat and myself will administer. We would appreciate a two week notice for any fire watch detail so that we can guarantee 100% coverage. On behalf of the entire local membership, I would like to thank you for your decision to approach our union for the fire watch program. Please feel free to forward our names and phone numbers to any group or individuals that will be required to have a fire watch.

These provisions apply to all buildings, including residential occupancies, and the former provisions of Appendix Chapter 12 relating to existing residential occupancies have been deleted. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 is an entirely new chapter and consists of two parts. Part I addresses the subject of covered malls and Part II addresses aviation control towers. Part I, Secs. 711 through 715. New appendix provisions have been included in the Uniform Building Code to set forth specific code requirements for covered mall buildings. The provisions for covered malls in this appendix chapter are i applicable to covered mall buildings having not more than three levels. Part I incorporates special provisions that consider the unique aspects of these buildings. For features of covered malls that are not unique, the general provi- sions of the code apply. Also, covered mall buildings complying in all respects with the general provisions of the code are not required to comply with Part I of Appendix Chapter 7. Some of the special provisions for covered mall buildings arc as follows: 1. Automatic fire sprinkler systems are required throughout. 2. Class I (dry) standpipes with 21/2-inch outlets are required in the mall at the entrance to an exit passageway or exit corridor. Outlets are also required at each floor level or landing within enclosed stairways opening directly into the mall. In addition, standpipe outlets arc also required adjacent to the principal exterior entrances to the mall. The standpipe system is required to be fully charged with water in large -area buildings as an inordinate amount of time would be required to fill the required standpipe system by the fire department in large systems. 3. Sixty feet of open space is required around the mall, parking garages and anchor stores when the provisions for unlimited area are applied. 4. Smoke control systems are required to restrict smoke movement so that the mall area will be kept free of smoke by developing an air pressure in the mall that is greater than pressure in adjacent tenant areas. Most of the smoke developed by a fire would be vented to the atmosphere without entering the mall. i 5. Fire -resistive separations are required between each tenant space, except between the tenant space and the mall. s 50 6. Public address systems are required to be accessible for use by the fire 7. Exit requirements are generally the same as for other occupancies, but the mall corridor is not required to be of fire -resistive construction when it is at i least 20 feet in width.traddition,.a 10-foot clear width is required between any tenant space and ki65k;—vending machine, bench or display or other _obstruction to egress_in thc_mall_ Covered mall buildings regulated by these new provisions are classified as Group B, Division 2 Occupancies, and their area may be unlimited. Malls of one and two levels may be of any type of construction, but three -level malls must be at least Type 11, One -hour construction. Part II, Secs, 716 through 721. These new provisions for aircraft control towers are intended to reconcile the differences between the life safety functions of air traffic control towers and the life safety requirements of the Uniform Building Code. For example, an air traffic control tower life safety requirement demands that controllers in the cab or observation level have a 360-degree view. This would not be possible if a stairway enclosure is required to that level. The life and property loss in these towers has been very small even though they have not complied completely with all the code requirements in the past. In developing these provisions, consideration was given to the inherent qualities of the use which makes the normal code requirements unnecessary. For example, air traffic control personnel are required to be examined to assure that they are sound of body and mind. Recognition was also given to the life safety record in these uses and specific limitations were imposed on the allowable size, type of construction, etc. Also, early warning systems by smoke detectors are required and these devices are to be part of an approved fire alarm system having audible alarms in al I occupied areas. Furthermore, standby power and emergency generation systems are required. Chapter 12 Appendix Chapter 12 relating to existing Group R. Division I Occupancies has been deleted in favor of the new Appendix Chapter 1. See analysis for Appendix Chapter I. New provisions have been adopted in Chapter 12. which adopts the One and Two Family Dwelling Code by reference. See analysis for Uniform Building Code Section 1201. Chapter 35 Sec. 3502. This section has been updated to refer to the 1981 edition of the manual. Chapter 48 This appendix chapter has been deleted.

McComas Fire Marshal SUBJECT: OFF DUTY FIRE WATCH Last week I asked you to determine what would be an acceptable pay scale for off duty fire watch details. Again, these details will be the requirement of the City but the pay would come from the organization putting on the event. Please respond in writing so the information will be'on file and there will be no misunder- standing. There are two requirements to consider:. 1. The fire watch must be a member of an organized fire department. 2. The fire watch must be in uniform. GLM:be r CITY OF EDMONDS CIVIC CENTER • EDMONDS, WASHINGTON 98020 • (206) 775.2525 FIRE DEPARTMENT Connie Hill, Property Manager Harbor Square Associates 180 West Dayton, #202-A Edmonds, WA 98020 Dear Ms. Hill, LARRY S. NAUGHTEN MAYOR April 11, 1988 There are two separate and distinct issues we are dealing with in the mall: (1) The minimum clearance of the corridors during nor- mal everyday use of the mall and (2) The issue of special events to be held in the mall corridor. As far as the first issue is concerned, the mall corridor clear- ance was established prior to the issuance of the construction per- mit in 1984. Uniform Building Code, Section 714(g) states no projec- tions into the mall width shall be allowed. The builders and the architects accepted this requirement prior to construction. Clarification of the first issue in Mr. Barbera's letter of March 1, 1988 again states that a 20 foot minimum clearance must be maintained. It is his interpretation (and mine) that the ten foot projection reference does not apply in a way which reduces the 20 foot absolute minimum requirement. This restriction applies to all furniture, planters and static displays within the exit corridors of the mall. The City Staff is in complete agreement with this require- ment and it was best stated in.the Mayor's letter dated March 17, 1988. In Paragraph Seven he states: "It is clear that the hallways have to be kept clear." I do not believe that this item needs any further clarification. The second issue, special events, which I believe we are in agreement on and which was addressed in the Mayor's March 17, 1988 letter, which states "If the Square wishes a special event, then an off -duty fire prevention officer will have to be on site to insure public safety, etc." The fire prevention officer will be required to be a member of an organized fire department. The firefighter will be required to be in uniform during the event. Ms. Hill, this letter states the firm position of the City and we request that you come into compliance. If you still feel that our interpretation is incorrect, the choice to arbitrate or litigate is yours.

Marketing 170 West Dayton Edmonds, Washington 98020 As a result of a business license inspection, it came to the attention of the building division that your tenant space at 170 West Dayton is in violation of Uniform Building Code section 3303 for exiting. (A copy of the code is attached.) A search of building division records revealed that no permits or approvals were given for this tenant remodel. This is a violation of UBC section 301, (copy attached). Harbor Square Associates was notified of the unsafe condition by letter dated February 2, 1988. Their response was to request that "Any code deficiencies found within a tenant premises shall be followed up with a notice 'to the tenant' with a copy to the Harbor Square property manager." The current exiting arrangement is not safe. Therefore steps to remedy the situation must be taken without further delay. You should apply to the building division for a tenant improvement permit, and provide with your application, plans which show an exiting arrangement which conforms to the provisions of the 1985 UBC as adopted by the City. To comply with the State Contractors Law, the permit application must be signed by a licensed contractor or by a representative of the owner, Harbor Square Associates. Your business license renewal will be approved when the necessary work is completed and inspected by the building and fire departments. Please contact the building division within 10 days date of this letter regarding your intentions.

Edmonds, WA 98020 RE: Harbor Square Mall Dear Gary: I am writing to you as a follow up to our meeting of Friday, April 1, 1988. It was my understanding before our meeting that you had been given the authority to make a decision regarding the Mall, the items located in the common area and special events in the Mall. You informed me during our meeting, however, that you were not willing to make a decision, that Mayor Naughten was the final authority in this issue. Since Mayor Naughten is out of the country, we are unfortunately no closer to any decisions or agreements regarding this issue than previously. As regards the UBC code, Section 714(g) Malls, we feel the City has yet to provide us with a clear interpretation of this code and we have therefore checked with our own sources. Not only our own architect, but an architect with a major Seattle firm assures us that our interpretation is correct. In reading over this Section, we continue to assert that we are in compliance with this code with regard to the plants, benches, ashtrays, etc. located in the common area of the Mall. Let me quote from that Section, "There shall be a minimum of 10 feet clear width to a height of 8 feet between any projection" (i.e. a bench), "from a tenant space bordering the mall and the nearest kiosk, vending machine, bench, display or other obstruction to egress.", (i.e.' the wall opposite the bench). The intent of this code is obviously to maintain a clearance of ten feet to the exits of a mall and this, we feel, is exactly what we now have. RECL!

As for special events in the Mall, please reference your copy of Mayor Naughten's letter to Dick Beselin dated March 17, 1988, paragraph 7. Since we would very much like to continue with certain special events in the Mall, such as displays of paintings and photographs, we would suggest displaying items along the edge of the Mall corridors so that the "10 feet clear width" in the corridor is maintained. An "off -duty fire prevention officer to be on site to insure public safety" per Mayor Naughten's letter would be required of any group whose displays or activities would interfere with the "10 feet clear width" code section. Since you did not recall the Mayor's recommendation of posting a fire prevention officer for special events during our meeting yesterday, this reference to his letter of March 17 will I hope refresh your memory.

Naughten Mayor SUBJECT: HARBOR SQUARE CODE COMPLIANCE Your conclusions regarding the Harbor Square situation are wrong - so let's get the matter clarified. All our jobs are demanding. My job is to try to help people get what they want and not over -compromise the municipal system, or its codes. As a former councilman, I have witnessed some code compromises in the past relating to developers, which I would never tolerate. I really doubt that you've never had any problems with code enforcement in past years. We want code compliance in the malls. Mr. Beselin doesn't understand why, after three -and -half years, the City has a prob- lem with the malls. The benches and planters are for the retail- ers and their customers. We have not been clear in explaining Section A714 (g) because there still exists a misunderstanding regarding the 10' clear - 8' high requirements of 714 (g). Gary should get with Connie and explain this Section and compliance requirements. Regarding baseline information - again, meet with Connie and explain why we need this information. Conference Room A is being reduced in size (I assume a permit was obtained); Conference Room C was supposed to be brought up to Code as requested. These should be verified. I'm not going to continue to orchestrate this matter indefinite- ly. Mr. Beselin will continue to call me whenever he feels he's being "unjustly hassled", as he currently feels. That's his right. I'm getting a little tired of the whole thing. I don't know what's been said, but wrong impressions have been made. My letter of 3/17/88 seems clear to me. I don't understand the assumption that "all Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code provisions are in abeyance". The only agreement we were waiting E C EIV E D on to have signed was regarding Mini -Conference Room A (see attachment) . MAR 2 51988 EDMONDS FIRE DEPT. Gary McComas, Fire Marshal Hal Reeves, Building Official March 25, 1988 Page 2. There are no agreements to sign if the Conference Room issue has been resolved. Get with Connie and explain our requirements and 714 (9) and continue on. If you have any problems discuss them with Jack Weinz.

WAS-i-NG ON 98CZC fCC6i 77_ 5 January 26, 1988 Mr. Dick Beselin 180 Dayton Street Edmonds, WA 98020 Dear Dick: MA'l;,F Rather than play phone tag I thought I'd just write to you regarding our conversation the other,. day. Many of the problems we run into are the result �& . Harbor Square not first getting permits on tenant improve- ments. The results of this are code violations and after -the -fact prob- lems. From now on, if we have any code problems, we will first contact your Property Manager and notify that person. We will also send you a copy. Now let's review your specific concerns. When Harbor Square was developed you opted to go with the minimum 20-foot aisle width. According to that dimension, you cannot have obstructions in the aisles; clothing racks & tables constitute code violation. You will have to keep those aisles free of obstructions or we have to issue your tenants notices. This is not an arbitrary situation, but State fire/safety codes we have to enforce. Regarding your min -conference rooms A & B. (Room A has a maximum people allowance of 85, which, by code, carries specific fire code requirements. Now, if you will give us a signed statement that Harbor Square will post this room for no more than 50 people maximum, and control that number, then we will only require those code requirements for 50 people or less. This will be our agreement for one year, as I understand this is only a temporary use. If this agreement is not kept, then you'll have to comply to the Code. Room B is a 126 person room and has to comply to fire safe- ty codes or else the City is legally liable for not enforcing the Code. Dick, the City wants to cooperate with Harbor Square and we have done so in many ways in the past. The problem with some of these code require- ments is that there isn't much flexibility. Sincerely, CITY OF EDMONDS /ay S lav ten ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: It is hereby agreed that we shall comply with the terms and conditions out- lined in this letter.

LARRY S. NAUGHTEN MAYOR I have instructed Jack Weinz to have Gary McComas meet with Connie and explain Section A714(g) regarding mall code requirements and review the attached list of pending business licenses. In addition Gary will discuss the City's need for tenant information and the most convenient way to obtain it without a lot of fuss. We all agree that permits have to be obtained for remodeling and con- struction projects and that there is a process to follow. If you feel that an area of State or City Code enforcement is unfair, or simply confusing, then contact Chief Weinz. If that still doesn't work, we can get together and discuss it. My job is to enforce the codes, but it doesn't have to be an unfair or unreasonable task: it does involve good communication, understanding and mutual coopera- tion. What gets complicated is the human factor, and I guess that's what makes life interesting.

From that letter we have developed the follow- ing conclusions that need verification. 1. The office of the Mayor will continue to orchestrate this matter indefinitely. 2. All Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code provisions relating to Harbor Square are to be held in abeyance until your office receives the signed agreement, originally dated January 26, 1988. Because this is such an unusual case, we would appreciate documented communication clarifying the parameters that you want us to work within. With all due respect, we want to advise you that we feel that Mr. Beselin has discovered that he can manipulate our code enforcement efforts by involving the Executive Office. You can be assured that any statements made during our contact at Harbor Square were not malicious in nature or intent. Our jobs are very de_Tanding and our daily agenda can cover a wide spectrum of specialities, but the bottom line is when it is built, it had better at least comply with the minimum code. In all the contacts we have made over the years neither one of us has had this kind of a problem, which indicates to us that this situation was precipitated by Mr. Beselin's perception of our activities and not by our activities themselves. We feel that we are highly competent professionals with the ability to re- solve this matter as dictated by code - the sooner the better. `-tom _vA_-- Gary L. cComas, Fire_ MarsFiaT Hal Reeves, Building_ CfficaT CITY OF EDMONDS CIVIC CENTER - EDMONDS, WASHINGTON 98020 - (206) 775-2525 OFFICE OF THE MAYOR March 17, 1988 Mr. Dick Beselin 180 Dayton Street Edmonds, WA 98020 Dear Dick: LARRY S. NAUGHTEN MAYOR I wanted to respond to your phone call the other day, along with Connie Hill's letter and Gary McComas and Hal Reeves' visit to Harbor Square. I erred in assuming that Gary and Hal had received all the informa- tion from our meeting on February 12. This has been taken care of and I'll see that all concerned receive a copy of this letter. What we want to do is to establish an information baseline for Harbor Square. The City would like to veri y the names of your cur- rent tenants to determine if all the necessary building permits have been obtained for tenant improvements. Dick, you raised a question regarding the City's lease policy at Frances Anderson Center and your concerns over the rates the City charges. (See Linda McCrystal letter of February 29, 1988 at- tached.) There seems to be quite a difference between our space and that in the private sector. Our requirements are much more restric- tive. Why the City originally inquired about the Harbor Square conference rooms seemed to be confusing. You felt the inquiry was perhaps a ploy to get information. I talked to Chief Weinz and found out what actually happened. (See Chief Weinz' memo attached.) I Mill need 26/88 regardinq_Mini-C nfarPnce Rooms A & B and the understanding we x1j Regarding permits, Harbor Square is not responsible for obtaining tenant permits for tenant improvements.

Parks and Recreation Division SUBJECT: COMPLAINT REGARDING LEASE FEES AT ANDERSON CENTER During a Chamber of Commerce event I attended recently, two Edmonds businessmen complained to me about the lease rates at Anderson Center. They said the per square foot rate of 40¢ per month was too low and in direct competition with space they are leasing. I indicated to them that in addition to the 40t, tenants have to pay for some utilities and the leasehold property tax (12.84%) on the total lease fee. Also, I said that we have several "restrictions" on the lease: 1. The hours they are open are limited to the Center's hours. 2. During some special events they have to be closed. 3. There can be no retail sales of stocked merchandise. 4. They are not allowed their own individual business sign on the exterior of the building. 5. Most tenants do not have their own exterior entrances. 6. No reserved parking spaces are available to tenants. 7. Our tenants must also meet the requirement of providing a cultural, educational, or recreational service to the community. I conducted a survey of those spaces in Edmonds and space similar to the Anderson Center in the greater Seattle area. Results of the survey showed that the Center lease rate was not the highest rate, nor was it even close to the lowest. I would be happy to further discuss our lease policy and rate schedule with you and/or community representatives. LM/mw FEES/TXTADMIN March 1, 1988 MEMO TO: Larry S. Naughten Mayor FROM: Jack D.

Gary McComas was asked if the conference rooms could accommodate 100 plus people. Since Gary was not aware the conference rooms existed, he looked into it.

This matter should be be between the Tenant and Harbor Square or the Tenant's contractor. For all concerned, Puget West has no association with Harbor Square and visa versa. They should not be guilty by association as has been presumed in the past. I would like to make it perfectly clear that -Harbor Square wishes to cooperate as necessary.

Edmonds, WA 98020 RE: Harbor Square Dear Mayor Naughton: During an impromptu meeting today with Gary McComas, the Fire Marshall, Dick Beselin and myself, it became apparent that a lack of communications between the various depart- ments of the City exists regarding Harbor Square. To be specific, a copy of Dick Beselin's letter to you dated February 12, 1988 clarifying the procedures on inspections by City personnel and agreed to by all present during our 8:00 A.M. meeting of February 22, 1988 was not forwarded to the Fire Marshall, Gary McComas. Due to the nature of past and current issues with regard to code compliance at Harbor Square, I know you will agree with me on the importance of keeping all pertinent City department heads and their respective staffs apprised of any correspondence and/or agreements regarding Harbor Square. Therefore, we -would appreciate your forwarding a copy of the aforementioned letter to Mr. McComas and Mr. Reeves. Mr. Hahn was in total agreement with the procedures outlined in that letter and we feel it is important that all interested parties be made aware of them so that the procedures are implemented. During today's meeting with Gary McComas, he agreed to request further clarification on the 1985 UBC, 714, (g) (see copy attached). Our interpretation of this Section makes it clear to us that we are, with the exception of special events, in compliance with the "10 ft. clear width" as outlined in this Section. However, the interpretation of this Section is varying, and in discussing it with Mr.. McComas, it became evident that a further clarification would benefit all parties involved and could lead to a final resolution of .this matter. I know that all of us are very interested in achieving that. 180 West Damon, Suite 202-A, Edmonds, Washington 98020 (206) 774-8993 It • Harbor Square February 29, 1988 Page 2 Also, during our February 22nd meeting I had requested a copy of a personnel flow chart outlining the flow of communications between all the City departments and your office.

The following is a summary of items needing attention, and hopefully this will be helpful to you during your meeting with Dick Beselin on Monday. All of the items listed below are violations of the State Uniform Building Code --not just City regulations, and I would appreciate your stressing to Mr. Beselin that the City has an obligation to the public to insure that these State UBC requirements are met. 120 WEST DAYTON HARBOR SQUARE MALL The improvement of vacant tenant space for use as conference rooms or assembly areas requires a permit. Jessica Hohman, former property manager was informed of this requirement by letter dated November 23, 1987. To date, no permit application has been filed. Of concern is the proper installation and functioning of the required smoke removal system and fire alarm system, and proper set-up of the required exit doors. 170 WEST DAYTON OFFICE AND RETAIL BUILDING Tenant work was done for T.A.B. Marketing without the required permit and inspection. This was apparently done several years ago, but was only discovered recently during a routine business renewal inspection. Of concern is the arrangement of exiting for the office space through the warehouse area without providing a corridor. This is a violation of UBC section 3303 (e), and a life safety hazard. Mr. Beselin was notified of this on February 2, 1988. Several days later he phoned and informed me that this is not his problem. 180 WEST DAYTON OFFICE AND RETAIL BUILDING Extensive tenant improvement work was done on the second floor of this building without permits and inspection as required by sections 301 and 305 of the UBC. Also tenant work was done on the first floor of the building without permit or inspection. This was discovered during the on r. course of routine business license safety inspections by the building division and the fire department. An application for permit has been filed by Puget West Construction and is under review. Items of concern noted during the inspection include a cross connection between the -potable water system for the building and a photo developing operation, a printing press operation using flammable inks without the necessary required ventilation system, and ventilation ducts in another area which penetrate a fire wall with no required protection and do not vent to the exterior of the building. I feel that it would be in the best interest of the City and Harbor Square if one person is in charge of all permits and inspections for future tenant improvements. Under the -State Contractors' Law the City cannot issue permits to tenants unless they have a State Contractors License. They may perform' construction work without possessing a license if the owner obtains the permit. However, the City Attorney has advised the building division that owners are responsible for code violations on their property. MEMO/TXTDMC24 mm �; ) �,� L - 0 or February 12, 1988 Larry Naughton Mayor City of Edmonds Edmonds, WA 98020 Dear Mayor Naughton: H(ECi=IV; .I.) FEB19; ^ Executive Offices To follow up on our meeting of February 8, 1988, I understand you will confirm with the Building Department on the following procedures.to clarify inspection by City personnel. 1. Any code deficiencies found within a Tenant premises shall be followed up with a notice "to the Tenant" of apparent code violation with a copy to Harbor Square, Attention: Property Manager at 180 W. Dayton, Suite 202-A, Edmonds, WA 98020 2. Building officials, including all department inspectors, shall limit their discussions to that Tenant's violation and not discuss alleged violations not connected with the respective Tenant's space. We also discussed the fact that the City officials should not make any assumptions as to actually who performed the work resulting in the alleged violation. This matter should be be between the Tenant and Harbor Square or the Tenant's contractor. For all concerned, Puget West has no association with Harbor Square and visa versa. They should not be guilty by association as has been presumed in the past. I would like to make it perfectly clear that Harbor Square wishes to cooperate as necessary. We obviously don't want the added liability, but at the same time we can't expect to have each Tenant nor ourselves commit to memory all of the some 3,600 ordinances, etc. in effect. 180 West Dayton, Suite 202-A, Edmonds, Washington 98020 (206) 774-8993 Harbor Square February 12, 1988 Page 2 I would further suggest that when a Tenant is not in compliance, that when the letter of non-compliance is issued, the specific reference to the Code is noted by number, or a copy thereof be included so that it can be reviewed and understood clearly. Thank you for your cooperation. ncer , ick Beselin HARBOR SQUARE ASSOCIATES CITY OF EDMONDS CIVIC CENTER • EDMONDS. WASHINGTON 98020 • (206) 775 2525 January 26, 1988 Mr. Dick Beselin 180 Dayton Street Edmonds, WA 98020 Dear Dick: LARRY S. NAUGHTEN MAtoR RECEIVED JAN 2 71988 EDMONDS FIRE DEPT. Rather than play phone tag I thought I'd just write to you regarding our conversation the other day. Many of the problems we run into are the result of Harbor Square not first getting permits on tenant improve- ments. The results of this are code violations and after -the -fact prob- lems. From now on, if we have any code problems, we will first contact your Property Manager and notify that person. We will also send you a copy. Now let's review your specific concerns. When Harbor Square was developed you opted to go with the minimum 20-foot aisle width. According to that dimension, you cannot have obstructions in the aisles; clothing racks & tables constitute code violation. You will have to keep those aisles free of obstructions or we have to issue your tenants notices. This is not an arbitrary situation, but State fire/safety codes we have to enforce. Regarding your min -conference rooms A & B. Room A has a maximum people allowance of 85, which, by code, carries specific fire code requirements. Now, if you will give us a signed statement that Harbor Square will post this room for no more than 50 people maximum, and control that number, then we will only require those code requirements for 50 people or less. This will be our agreement for one year, as I understand this is only a temporary use. If this agreement is not kept, then you'll have to comply to the Code. Room B is a 126 person room and has to comply to fire safe- ty codes or else the City is legally liable for not enforcing the Code. Dick, the City wants to cooperate with Harbor Square and we have done so in many ways in the past. The problem with some of these code require- ments is that there isn't much flexibility. Sincerely, CITY OF EDMONDS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: It is hereby agreed that we shall comply with the terms and conditions out- lined in this letter.

You should require the architect (engineer?) to review the truss plans to provided continuity between the two sets of plans. A written acknow- ledgement of this review should be given to you for your records. c. Most of the trusses span more than 35' and require a special design for the concentric and eccentric loads on the heels. Section .1735, UBC Standard 25-17 d. The top chord of the trusses should be justified for total shear with no reduction allowed for the depth. e. You may want to order full scale tests for the 61'+ truss spans to verify their deflection and/or ultimate load characteristics. Section.1737, UBC Standard 25-17 f. The flat trusses should have the top physically marked so that you know which way they should be placed. g. They should be designed for reversal of stresses caused by wind uplift as the bottom chord is not braced by an attached ceiling. h. The double trusses should be either connected together at the factory or should be job assembled under continuous special inspection. 3. Connections: a. The bearing plate and connection detail N-5 should be 3/4" thick accord- ing to calculation sheet CONN 4. b. The double shear value of 2.93 k for the 3/4" diameter bolts shown in connection F-5 should be justified. Table 23-F has no values for a 10-3/4" depth. c. The side plate in Section H-5 should be 8" deep according to Sheet CONN 5 of the calculations. d. The 1/4" weld on Detail D-5 should be specifically designated to obtain full throat thickness or should be redesigned for 3/16" thickness. e. The bolt on the ledger in Section G-5 should be located within 3z" of the top to reduce the possibility of cross grain type of failure. 4. The floor beams under the weight room, sauna room and similar rooms should be specifically designed for the actual weights to be carried by the beams. 5. The assumed soil bearing pressure of 2000 psf should be justified by a soils report. Plan Check 1562 Harold Reeves November 6, 1984 Page Three 6: The wall panels which carry the heavy eccentrically loaded glu-lam beams, Sections D-5 and L-6, should be specifically reinforced for the eccentric moment at the connection. 7. Lateral analysis: a. A double row of boundary nailing-:thould be specified over the drag struts. b. The amount of force into the drag struts should take into account the tributary area for this flexible diaphragm. i.e. Area II and III for north -south loading --Sheet CONN 10, etc. A redesign appears required. c. Connection detail C-5 should be justified for the drag force. The 5 rows of bolts should be reduced. Section 8.3.2, 1982 National Design Specifications. d. The single bolt connection to the glu-lam beam in Section H-5 does not appear adequate to take the drag force. e. The size of the connectors in Section P-5 should be detailed. f. The wall anchors such as shown on Section E-5 should be carried out a sufficient distance to have enough diaphragm nail value to resist the wall load. Section 2310. Wall anchors should be associated with Section G-5. g. Continuous ties associated with the wall anchors are required across the building. Section 2312(j)2 C.

The extent of any grading should be indicated and the amount and direction of lot drainage should be shown. Sections 2903(a) and 2905(f). Roof drainage should be conducted underground to discharge into the street at the curb line such that none of it flows over public sidewalks,or other public property. Section 3207(f ) 3. Your Fire Department should approve access to the site, cir- culation around the building, and fire hydrant and fire extinguisher sizes and locations.

Handicapped persons requirements; Chapter 75: a. Without kroowing exactly where the property lines (lease lines?) are I cannot tell exactly how many HC parking spaces are required. Assuming that those on the north, south, and west sides belong to this building, then 2 are required and should be located near the main entrance. A 12'6" width should be shown. b. The parking space on the east side of the building is unacceptable unless a pathway is provided to whichever building it is for so that it does not pass into the vehicular pathway. c. The details of the curb cuts at the space should be given. d. A 4-5' high ground sign should be provided at the spaces with the international symbol of access and the words "parking permit required" printed on it. e. The international symbol of access should be posted at the entry at.) the lot. Section 5503 5. The sewerage disposal system should be shown. 6. The architect should sign the plans. Section 302(b) 7. A street address should be posted prior to final inspection. Section 513 8. Depending on where the property lines are, pedestrian protection may be required. Chapter 44. 9. The valuation appears quite low for this type of occupancy. A complete cost breakdown should be submitted to justify it. Sections 304(a) and 423 OCCUPANCY AND EXIT COMMENTS 1. The occupancy group and type of construction should be listed on the plans. Section 302(b) 2. The area justification should also be shown. Without knowing where the property lines are, it is impossible to decide if there are sufficient clear yards around the building to justify it as a Type III-1 hour construction. In general, even with a 2 hour separation wall the justification appears to be a problem. 3. The details of the area separation wall should be provided. Note that it should be a minimum of 4 hours with parapets and openings protected with 3 hour fire assemblies. Section 505(e) Plan Check 1562 Harold Reeves November 5, 1984 Page Three 4. Depending on the location of the real property lines or using a .property line between this building and the building to the east, it would appear that no openings should be allowed there or at best 3/4 hour assemblies would be required on this building if there are no openings on the building next door: Assuming that the windows are allowed to be 3/4 hour they still appear to be too large. Section 4306(h). Also note that parapets are required on these walls. Section 1709 5. If the mechanical room contains equipment with the largest piece greater than 400,000 btu's per hour input, it should be separated by a 1 hour occupancy separation from the rest of the building. Section 608 6. The method of providing and the amount of ventilation should be detailed. Section 605 7. Exits in general: a. The legal exits from each room and from the building should be identified on the plans. b. Doors at these exits should be openable from the inside without the use of key, special knowledge or effort and where the occupant load is greater than 50, panic hardware should be specified. Sections 3304(c) and '3318 c. Tennis room 103 and .gymnasium 102 require 2 separate exits each. Section 3303(a). One of them from each goes into room 106 which would be.allowed.- by Section 3303(e) if they open directly into the whole room. However, they are confined to a very small landing area which really cannot accommodate the total occupant load. Indeed, since room 103 goes through the separation wall, it is like a horizontal exit (which may be required anyway because of the distance to exterior exit 101) which required 3 sf per occupant capacity. Section 3308(c). A redesign appears required. d. Pool room 108 requires 2 exits separated by at least 38'. Item 21, Table 33-A and Section 3303(c). The doors should swing outwardly but door 26 should not block the.stairway landing. Section 3304(b) and 3306(g) e. If nursery 220 is used like a day-care facility, it requires 2 exits separated by at least 15'. Item 10, Table 33-A f. The tributary occupant load into the areas to the south of the.separa- tion wall beside the tennis courts appears to be over 500 and 3 exits separated a reasonable distance apart are required from that portion of the building. Section 3303(a). The door width should be such that approximately 3'10" clear .width is provided for each. Section 3303(b) Plan Check 1562 Harold Reeves November 5, 1984 Page Four g. There should be a landing outside doors 1, 3, 6, and 18. Both they and the one shown outside of door 17 should be no more than 1/2" below the threshold. Section 3304(h) h. Lighted exit signs are required from the tennis court area and from the main exits from the other portion of the building. Section 3314 (a). They should be lighted and the light bulbs should be on separate circuits, one of which is separated from all other circuits in the building and be independently controlled. Section 3314(b) 8. The corridors: a. The lounge areas should be detailed because corridors should not have assembly or office use within them. Section 3305(a), 2nd para- graph b. Similarly, all rooms including the upper levels of the racquetball courts and weight room should be separated from the corridor system. c. The system represented by areas 23, 107, 124, 215, and 221 as well as stairs 1, 2, and 3 have an occupant load such that 1 hour con- struction is required. Section 3305(g). The details of this envelope should be shown. d. All openings into this corridor system should be limited and should be protected as required by Section 3305(h). e. Door 34 blocks the .required width of Hall 221 and -should be modified. Section 3305(d). Door 24 blocks the hall from the women's locker rooms also. 9. Stairways: a. A spiral stairway is not allowed in this type of occupancy and should be replaced with a complying one. Section 3306(f) b. There appears to be 12' between the floors and consequently an interior landing is required in Stairway #3. Section 3306(1.) c. The handrails in Detail 2/A-6 are not grippable and should be redesigned. Section 3306(j) d. The use of the space under the stairway #3 should be described and it should be protected to 1 hour construction. Section 3306(m). Similarly, the storage rooms under stairs 1 and 2 should be enclosed. e. Doors 7 and 8 reduce the landing width too much and the design should be modified. Plan Check 1562 Harold Reeves November 5, 1984 Page Five g. Door 19 blocks the bottom of the landing from stairway #1. TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION, MECHANICAL CODE, AND OTHER COMMENTS 1. Type III-1 hour construction, Table,17-A, Chapters 20 and 43: a. The opening should be protected if they are within 20' of the pro- perty(lease?) lines and are not allowed if within 5' of such lines. Section 2003(b) b. The listing for the 1 hour roof/ceiling assembly should be provided to insure that the trusses are properly protected. All the listings that I have seen require the trusses to be spaced no more than 2' O.C. c. The floor/ceiling assembly should be similarly justified. d. There are not enough details that tell whether or not there are concealed spaces in the tennis court roof (i.e. insulation below the sheathing). If there are then that ceiling should be protected to 1 hour construction. Section 602(a), exception 2 e. All interior partitions should be detailed to 1 hour construction. f. All posts should be individually protected to 1.hour construction. g. 'Duct penetrations of all ceilings and of the corridor walls (if the duct system has openings into the corridor).should be protected by fire dampers. Section 4306(j) h. Duct penetrations of the area separation walls should be protected by fire doors (not dampers) which are smoke detector actuated automatic closing types. Section 4306(f,j) i. The door penetrations of the area separation walls should also be smoke detector actuated automatic closing types. Section 4306(f), exception 2 2. Interior finishes: a. The flame spread of the finish materials on the ceilings and walls are limited to Class II or better in the corridors or stairways and Class III or better elsewhere. Thin panelling and plastic laminates are the usual problem areas. Table 43-B. Also firred area are pro- blems. Section 4203 Plan Check 1562 Harold Reeves November 5, 1984 Page Six b. Toilet rooms 128 and 222 require a ceramic tile, cement plaster or equivalent wainscot also. Section 510(b). Epoxy paint is not equiv- alent. c. The suspended ceilings should be detailed for earthquake bracing. Item 5, Table 23-J d. If foam plastics are to be used, they should be identified as indicated in Section 1712(a) and should be protected by an approved index 15 thermal barrier. 3. The 3-ply built-up roofing should be a listed Class A or B type. Section 3203(e)l- 4. The attic areas and enclosed floor joist areas should be subdivided into 3000 sf and 1000 sf modules respectively by draft stops. Section 2516(f)4. The location and details including attachments should be shown. 5. The method of venting the attic area -;should be shown and justified for 1/150 of the attic area. Section 3205(c) 6. Safety glazing is required for all doors (fire doors may have wire glass) and all glazing within 12" of all doors, in the sliding doors to the sauna and steam rooms, and elsewhere where the glass is within 18" of the floor and not protected on both sides (if a walking surface is on both sides) -by a guard rail. Section 5406. If the mirrors are furred off of the walls, they are required to be safety glazing also. These items should be identified on the plans and you should look for the proper logo on them during inspection.(tempered glass does not comply by itself). 7. Sprinkler system: a. A sprinkler system is required on the second floor as there are an in- sufficient number of openings provided on the south wall. Section 3802 (b)1. However, if at least 20 sf of opening is provided on the east- erly portion of that wall this system would not be required. b. Regardless of this, a sprinkler system is required in the enclosed space under all of the stairways. Section 3802(c)4 c. The plans for the system should be submitted to your Fire Department for approval and depending on the number of heads, an approved central alarm system may be required. Section 3803 8. If the mechanical system has a 2000 cfm capacity or greater, an automatic shut-off is required. Section 1009, UMC Plan Check 1562 Harold Reeves November 5, 1984 Page Seven 9. The building should be justified for envelope, glazing, and electrical lighting budgets for Zone I. Chapter 4, Washington Energy Code; Hot water spigots in the showers and lavatories should be limited to 3 and 1/2 gallon per minute respectively. 10.

The review included discussions with Hal Reeves with the city of Edmonds and Frank Natshuhara of I.C.B.O.. We feel that the specifications, in general, do comply with UBC chapter 7, Covered Mall Buildings. You indicated that the tenant walls within each building go up only to the ceiling. If any walls do go higher, provisions will need to be made so that the air has a path to the smoke removal fan. Also, if any tenants have open —type security grilles, smoke detectors are required as part of the system. If you have any questions regarding this subject, please do not hesitate to call.

McComas Fire Marshal SUBJECT: FIRE HYDRANT OBSTRUCTION IN THE 100 BLOCK OF DAYTON WEST, HARBOR SQUARE PROPERTY On the south side of Dayton Street, approximately centered be- tween the two driveways, a hydrant was installed as a develop- ment requirement. Then, as landscaping was being done, a tree was placed directly in front of this hydrant. Since there is a conflict of interests between the developer and several city departments, I offer this section of the Community Development Code to solve the problem. EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE 19.75.165 - Hydrant Specifications G. Surrounding Vegetation. No person shall plant any vegetation, erect any structure or perform any action which results in the obstruction, of a fire hydrant for a distance of fifty feet along the immediate route of approach. The owner -occupant of any area in which a hydrant is located shall be responsible for removing weed and tree growth from around the hydrant for a distance of not less than five feet. The pur- pose of this section is to maintain clear approach and visual area around the hydrant.

M-1, AND WITHIN INDIVIDUAL DWELLING UNITS OF R-1 LENGTH OF LANDINGS AT Figure No. 33-11 installed for exiting purposes, must be made to comply with all of the provisions of this chapter for exit doors. In other words, if they are provided for exiting purposes, the building occupant does not know whether they are part of the basic required system or are egress facilities in excess of the basic requirement. Since the building occupant would then expect the door to provide a safe exit from the space, it is imperative that the door and doorway meet the code requirements. Exception is made for the installation and use of revolving doors in exit situations. Revolving doors are finding increasing use in buildings. Where once they were used primarily in cold climates, they are now being installed in all regions primarily as an energy conservation measure. However, it is not permis- sible to use revolving doors to supply any of the required exit capacity. When used, the door must be an approved revolving door. At the present time there does not exist any recognized national standard governing revolving doors. However, revolving door manufacturers are in the process of developing such a standard. It may be advisable to obtain and review the material under develop- ment prior to approving the installation of revolving doors. At the present time, when revolving doors are installed they must be of a type where the leaves will collapse under opposing pressures. Such doors are re- quired to have a minimum overall width of 6 feet 6 inches. At least one conforming exit door shall be located in close proximity to the revolving door. In such an arrangement the adjacent swinging door will be used to satisfy exit capacity requirements. Corridors and Exterior Exit Balconies —Section 3305 Sec. 3305. (a) General. This section sets forth the requirements for corri- dors. It applies to all corridors any time the occupant load served by the corridor is 10 or more persons, except that Subsection (b) shall apply to all corridors. The Uniform Building Code does not contain a definition of the term "corridor." However, in this subsection it points out that the term corridor is to include exterior exit balconies and any covered or enclosed exit passageway, including walkways, tunnels and malls. Chapter 56 is a complete recommended chapter for dealing with the unique features of covered mall buildings. The term "corridor" is a very difficult one to define. Over the years, a number of attempts have been made but in each instance it was possible to point out deficiencies in the various proposed definitions. Essentially, the determina- tion as to when a corridor exists is left to the building official who may seek some guidance from the appropriate dictionary referred to in Section 401. For the purpose of the code, however, a corridor is essentially a space where the building occupant has very limited choice as to paths or directions of travel. /] The available path is restricted. It is bordered by other occupied use spaces. As a consequence, it is potentially exposed to fires which might occur in those enclosed spaces unbeknown to anyone in the corridor. Generally speaking, in a building space of this type, the occupant has only two choices as far as directions of travel through the exiting system are concerned. For that reason it is some- times necessary for the building official to evaluate the plan layout of an area and make a determination as to whether the space does present the potential fire - hazard exposure to building occupants as any regular, well-defined corridor might. If the determination is that the fire -exposure potential is the same, the building space should be made to comply with the requirements for corridors. Another clue to assist the building official in this determination is the fact that in Section 3305 (g) one exception exempts corridors from the fire -resistive re- quirements if the corridor has a width of at least 30 feet. Probably this subsection gives a little better guidance as to what is not a corridor. It specifically states that partitions, rails, counters, filing cabinets, space dividers, furniture and similar types of equipment that do not exceed a height of 5 feet, 9 inches above the floor are not to be considered as creating corridors. Essentially, the purpose of the height limitation is that in most instances a building occupant in spaces enclosed by such low -height features is able to detect a fire by smell, sight or sound. Consequently, such low -height dividers are not considered as creating corridors even though they may effec- tively limit the choice of paths of travel available to the building occupant. It is required that exit corridors not be interrupted by intervening rooms and that they be continuous either to exterior exit doors, enclosed exit stairs, horizontal exits or exit passageways. This provision carries out the basic con- cept, which states that once a building occupant, as that building occupant progresses through the exit system, arrives at a certain level of safety —in this case the safety afforded by an exit corridor —that level of safety is not thereafter reduced as the building occupant proceeds through the remainder of the exit system. Therefore, the building occupant having once reached an exit corridor is not thereafter brought out of the corridor and reintroduced into other occupied use space of the building. The corridor must be continuous. However, here again the code emphasizes that it is possible to permit corridors to be conducted through foyers, lobbies and reception rooms. These are not to be considered as intervening spaces as long as they are constructed in accordance with the requirements for the corridor which they serve. Section 3321 (c) contains special provisions for Group I Occupancies. Sec. 3305. (b) Width. This subsection relative to the required width of corridors has application only to those corridors which serve an occupant load of 10 or more. It is the intent to interpret this provision in such a fashion that, if there are occupied building spaces with a cumulative occupant load of 10 or OkAe is 51-12 OXYGEN —FUEL GAS SYSTEMS MANIFOLDING OF CYLINDERS A ; j° 225.

Weinz Fire Chief SUBJECT: DAYTON STREET I think we should take some type of action for future address- ing of Dayton Street before "Harbor Square" becomes a reality. My feeling is that Dayton Street, west of Sunset Avenue, be officially designated as West Dayton Street. The only two addresses on that street now have been assigned "West Dayton" by the City (Pantley's and Munson Mfg.). There would be no changes required and make it much easier to number Harbor Square. JDW:be June 22, 1982 MEMO TO: Hank Lewis Associate Planner FROM: Gary L.

Private fire hydrants shall be located at the buildings as per approved drawings and Community Development Code Section 19.75.150. 2. Fire protection facilities and access roads shall be installed and made serviceable prior to and during the time of construction. 3. Approved addresses shall be placed on all buildings in such a position as to be plainly visible and legible from the street or road fronting the property. Said numbers shall contrast with their background. GLM:be f IL tl CL
