MICHAEL L. WELLMAN, ARCHITECT LLC <br /> P.O. BOX 1288, SILVERTON, OREGON 97381 <br /> SO3-873-8111 (OFFICE/FAX) 2 <br /> a-mall well42060yahoo.com <br /> February 22, 2019 <br /> Silver Creek Fellowship AMM Proposed Alternate <br /> I. The current building is Type I1A, non-combustible construction. <br /> 2. The proposed covered patio will be of the same construction type. <br /> 3. The building and proposed patio cover has 60' plus yards on all sides. <br /> 4. The proposed patio cover is open to yards on 2 sides&does not exit through the <br /> building. <br /> 5. Conversely the building occupants do not exit through the patio area. <br /> 6. The existing building is provided with(10)-36"exit doors dispersed around the building. <br /> The computed occupant load for the building and this addition is 1,169 and would <br /> require(7)-36"exit doors(1169 x 0.2=234 inches of exit width). All exits are <br /> accessible. <br /> 7. The existing building fire alarm system has smoke detection,manual pull stations&fire <br /> department notification. This system was upgraded for the last building addition. See <br /> attached. <br /> The State of Oregon's Building Codes Division (BCD)has issued it's White Paper titled <br /> "Alternates to Fire Sprinkler Systems". This document outlines alternate methods or upgrades in <br /> lieu of providing fire sprinklers by going beyond Code minimums where strict compliance is <br /> impractical or impossible. In this case this the property has no water source available for fire <br /> sprinklers as it is not in the City. As stated above we have non-combustible construction,yards <br /> on all sides, extra exiting capacity and an upgraded fire alarm system. Each of these upgrades go <br /> beyond Code requirements and should satisfy the intent of Code required fire sprinklers. <br /> 9 n�Cf <br /> J <br /> c- CHA L.
