Re: La Pine Recreation Center
Dear Tony:
As a follow-up to my site visits to the La Pine Recreation building on August 4th and 5th,
I submit the following:
As I understand the issues, your Board of Directors would like to address the permitting
and occupancy for the subject building and the stage facility. I also understand you
would like to have the minimum requirements of the Building Code explained so that a
portion of the facility can be brought into compliance in approximately two weeks for a
scheduled event.
First, I will address the requirements that will need to be completed in order to
temporarily occupy a portion of the recreation building.
• 1) Install a barricade at the mid section of the structure to restrict anyone from
accessing the south half of the building, the offices and classroom area.
2) Install door hardware on the exit doors that meets the code. Currently, flush
mounted locks are installed . They will need to be replaced with panic door
hardware.
3) Ensure that the exit signs are illuminated and working properly.
Once these three items have been completed, call the County Building Division and
schedule an inspection. If the inspection is approved, a temporary Certificate of
Occupancy will be issued for that section of the building.
Quality Services Performed with Pride
Included with this letter you will find a list of electrical issues that will need to be re -
permitted and inspected.
Secondly, in order to gain full compliance with the Building Code, in reference to the
recreation building, the Building Division is requiring the following:
1) Obtain a Tenant Improvement Permit for the offices and classrooms.
2) Obtain a Mechanical Permit for the heating and ducting systems.
3) Obtain an Electrical Permit for any electrical work that has been added in this
area.
4) The Building Division will reactivate the Plumbing Permit and complete a final
inspection at the same time as the building final. It does not appear any upgrades
are needed in the bathrooms or water fountain.
5) A fire alarm system will be required for the entire facility.
Please call our Building Division staff if you have any questions during this process.
Sincerely,
1207'‘,-/-7
Dennis Perkins
Building Safety Director
