Hi Branden,
Thanks for this question. I asked our Project Engineer to calculate the KVA. For this 166.6 kW AC system, KVA = 208.24
AC
I understand this will need an electrical plan review. Let me know if you need more information.

Lara,
I need to determine if electrical plan review is required, and on the application you marked that the system was greater
than 100 KVA, but the plan review threshold is 150 KVA. I looked through the plans, but I did not see the KVA explicitly
called out, so what is the total KVA for the system?
Thanks,
Branden Taggart

Hello Team,
i
Please discard the submission emailed on April 17.The structural and electrical plans attached are the correct and
updated sets.This is for a rooftop installation of a 166.6 kW photovoltaic system located at 14650 SW 97th Ave,
Tigard 97224.
Please find the building and electrical permit application attached with 11X17 plans and data sheets.

Given these unprecedented circumstances, could you please indicate an approximate lead time for commercial
permit review/approval?
I left the permit fee sections blank and am ready to pay printing fees.
Standing by,
Lara

' Hello Team,
The 11X17 design plans in this submission mark the older site address. Would your team be able to redline the
address 9500 Murdock St.,Tigard, or would you need me to resubmitt a new permit packet with the update?The
site address on the solar checklist, building and electrical permit applications is correct.
Respectfully,
Lara

Hi Lara,
I am in the process of making this permit ready to issue. Does your valuation of$96,220.00 include the electrical scope
of work? If so, we can deduct the electrical portion of the valuation to decrease the Building permit fees. What is the
valuation not including the electrical scope of work?
Thank you,

Dear Building Division,
I left a few voicemails and emails asking about how to submit updates to an existing commercial building permit during
the "shelter in place" order. I hope this email is helpful to your process.
We are requesting an update ("deferred submittal") to building permit BUP2019-00035 to include plans for a rooftop
solar installation. Attached is the Transmittal Letter and additional structural plan set.
The site location is 14650 SW 97th Ave, Tigard 97224
Please confirm this has been received and if you require more information.
Many thanks,
Lara
