GSTEETERS@VERIZON.NET Dear City of Edmonds, This letter is in response to your letter dated April 7, 2009 regarding my Request for Alternate Methods and Materials - Air Admittance Valve @ 437 5t' Avenue S. With regard to Inquiry Number 1: We will be utilizing Oatey products (i.e., 2" and 3" Oatey air vents) for the installation of this system, including accessible labeled panels for future service. With regard to Inquiry Number 2: This site consists of various structural requirements (i.e., basement - garage, first floor - commercial, top two floors - privately owned condominiums) that are built with a concrete PT deck (post -tension cable run). Such cable material prohibits our ability to appropriately implement standard plumbing installation. Additionally, the plumbing would require unacceptable invasive intrusion of the condominium owners property. There is truly no feasible option to pursue in View of the current structure. Therefore, we respectfully request that you honor our request to utilize the Oatey inline vent system. I have attached Oatey specification sheets as requested for reference. Should you require any additional information, please call me at 425.508.2354. Thank you again for your consideration.

After my inspection, I noted a conventional venting for waste and vent is not feasible for this site. It is a four story site, with the top two sites being occupied by apartment tenants. I would propose to implement a studor vent which is an approved method in King County_ This method would rectify the issue at hand and meet the required city codes. Please bear in mind this is a commercial site, including a half bath, floor mop sink and two bay stainless kitchen. There will be no solinoide valve functions, strictly gravity fed drainage. The drainage will be tied into the pre-existing drainage in the garage with a 4x3 Y before existing. This will be first drain before existing drains on the drain trunk. This will Conform to studor codes. I respectfully request that you consider and accept my proposal since I have no other options to consider to install standard venting for this site. Should you require any additional information, please call me. Thank you again for your consideration.
