As you know, final approvals are not valid until the plans and permits are approved and issued by the Building Official. Your designer has not responded to the plan review letter; the plans have not been approved; the permit for fire protection (BUP96-0416) has not been issued; and the fee has not been paid ($128.63). In a conversation with you several months ago, you told me that the school district was picking up that permit and that it was not part of your contract. I have enclosed the leading edge of the plans for That work. It looks like you are the applicant rather than the school district. Without the fire protection permit, the related structural permits can't be approved. Please contact your subcontractor and resolve these issues as soon as possible. The School District is in violation of UBC standards and has been notified that the City and the Construction Contractor's Board have no choice but to penalize the applicants if final approvals are not received by March 31,1998. cc: Ron Hudson 15 V V6PccV City of Tigard, 13125 SW Hall Blvd h .r _ v� Mar -16 -98 07:O8A M J Watt Inc. 503 236 0558 P -04 03/13/98 FRI 17:26 FAX 503 598 1a8U Page No. 1.

Hall Blvd. 9n T arcs, Oregon 97223 Re: Twality Junior High 14650 S.W. 97 Avenue 6189A- 003 -000 Dear Jim: Because of the history of sprinkling the above captioned facility, the fire district is willing to support a policy of not extending automatic sprinkler protection into existing void areas and concealed spaces unless those void areas and concealed spaces are made larger. This decision is based on the fact that the existing automatic sprinkler protection that is installed in the school is based on a .10 density with an application area of 3,000 square feet as prescribed in National Fire Protection Association Standard 13 when combustible concealed spaces are not provided with automatic sprinkler protection. The fire district is in support of providing automatic sprinkler protection in void and concealed spaces when void and concealed spaces are made larger or when extensive modifications are made to the building. This building was provided with automatic sprinkler protection during an extensive remodel where it was found that large continuous non -draft stopped/fire blocked void spaces were found running through the building. At that time a decision was made to ask the school district to provide automatic sprinkler protection in the building and the design criteria was chosen at that time.
