. AGREEMENT & UNDERSTANDING.

To: BUILDING OFFICIAL
Subject: GRAND SLAM
921 International Way
Springfield, OR
As proprietors of the subject business, we understand that the Building Codes
which apply to the building and our proposed facility makes certain requirements
based on the occupant load that the building will support. Among those '
requirements are measures to assure adequate exiting and other fire and life
safety issues, as well as adequate sanitation facilities to serve the anticipated
occupants. We also understand that the calculated occupant load that the
facility will support has been determined by Building Division staff at 120
occupants. Our experience with similar establishment in this area indicates that
the actual occupant load of the building at peak times is more in the
neighborhood of 35 occupants. Attached is a record of our experience with the
present facility on Prairie Road in Eugene.
We have no issue with the fire and life safety requirements of the Building codes
for the larger occupancy. However, It will be a considerable hardship to provide
additional sanitary facilities for an occupant load which will not, in our
experience, never occur. We are therefore proposing to provide a restroom
containing a toilet and wash basin for each sex which is designed for
accessibility requirements. We are also willing to post a sign in the facility
limiting the occupant load to a maximum of 50 occupants and any given time.
This is the capacity that will be supported by the proposed sanitary facilities.

Knowing the nature of our business the different
revenue areas have never been occupied to full
capacity. On our busiest peak time we've had
about 35 customers. The normal stay at Grand
Slam is 5 min. to 1 hour.
