Antique Powerland meets requirements for providing sanitary facilities for events. The three permanent restrooms can serve up to 1400 males and 850 females (29-A). However,Antique Powerland requires supplementing the permanent restrooms with portable toilets for larger events. The largest event, The Great Oregon Steam-Up adds up to 40 portable toilets to serve daily attendance of a maximum of 8000 people. (workers, exhibitors and paid attendees.) The total of permanent and portable toilets should serve 5200 males and 3700 females or a total of 9050 which exceeds daily attendance. B. Museum Visits Although 2902 requires restrooms inside A-3 buildings it also allows up to 500' distance to a restroom that can include going outside to enter restrooms in the building but with outside entrances. (Buildings with restrooms,but with outside entrances). Antique Powerland strongly suggests walking up to 500' to enter restrooms from the outside is not significantly different from walking up to 500'to another building. (2902.4.1), (2902.4.2). Antique Powerland has several small museum buildings. Their use and occupancy is many times lower than most,if not all specific Group A buildings listed in 29-A. Buildings such as conference rooms, dinning rooms,drinking establishments, gymnasiums,restaurants, amusement parks, sports arena, community halls, auditoriums, convention halls, stadiums etc. all suggest much more substantial buildings with much 411/ higher actual occupancy than the small museums at Powerland. Logic suggest some museums such as the Gazebo and Logging flat car museum should be exempt from interior sanitary facility requirements. As previously noted there are enough permanent restrooms to serve 1900 visitors. Typical daily attendance during the week is 10-20 visitors and daily attendance on weekends is up to 50. V. Specific Requirements for Pending Building Permits. 1. Logging Museum No.1, 11-004821. This small museum, (2304ft') should be exempt from restrooms because it is not normally occupied. (2902.1) In addition this building is within 320' of public restrooms. (2902.4.2)(see comments on similarities exterior entrances and separate buildings). 2. Logging Museum No. 2, 12-00810 This building is mounted on a railroad flatcar and is only 576 ft'. Due to its size and physical characteristics it would essentially be impossible to include restrooms inside the building. Additionally this building is not normally occupied and is within 500' of public restrooms. 3. John Deere Museum building, 09-06946.
