Correspondence &� 2c/ / - col /3 g LC -o / I --6 3 C June 29, 2011 Mr. Dan Nelson & Mr. Mark Van Domelen - BC City of Tigard — Building Department 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard, Oregon 97223 Re: Ideal Image — Tenant Improvements at 9225 SW Hall Blvd. a r c I t e c t u r e Dear Mr. Nelson and Mr. Van Domelen: Thank you both for being very helpful and resourceful in finding solutions to the egress concerns for this project. Based on our discussions yesterday, we are proposing the following alternates for your consideration in lieu of relocating one of the existing egress doors: We have discovered an error in our area calculations for the space. The originally submitted drawing (A000) indicates the square footage of the space as 3,610 when it is actually 3,435; establishing a base occupancy of 34. By applying 'duplicity of use', we are proposing that the Break Room —112, Product Storage —113, File Storage —116, & I.T. Room —109 are all spaced that are only occupied by tenants of the space which are accounted for by standard means of occupancy load calculations. These four spaces including their surrounding walls equal 439 square feet. By subtracting this amount from the gross overall area, the resulting square footage for the project becomes 2,996 or 30 occupants. In addition to the information above, the contractor will install a fire alarm system throughout the space including horns and strobes. The contractor will also install exit signs throughout the space (not just at the exit doors) specifically to direct occupants at the back of the space toward the exit doors. Lastly, the contractor shall post the occupancy of the space somewhere near the main entrance. It is our hope that you will find these proposed alternates acceptable and will proceed with issuing the building permit at your earliest convenience. Should you have any questions or comments regarding the content of this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Jeffrey H. Shinkle, AIA e dike tif ea, V JEFFREY H.
