Additional Information Submitted by Applicant
1. Date Submitted: 03/10/20231) POWER: We plan to use up to 9 generators, 4ks to 7ks. An underground power line has been added to the eastern portion of the event site giving access to some grid power. Work was completed by a licensed electrician. We have no record of a required permit to run underground electrical power. A licensed electrician should know he needed a permit and inspections. Please either obtain an electrical permit after the fact, or provide documentation that one was already issued. Response: To clarify the statement “The underground power line added to the eastern portion…” is a permanent extension cord run off an existing 120v circuit from the house. You would not have a record of the permit as a permit was not required. This was put in for landscape lighting to my yard in 2016. 2) You list a stage manager and stage operations. Is this a generic term, or are there any actual stages? None are shown on the site plan. There is also reference to "Savage buildings." Are these existing buildings on site, but off-limits to Special Event participants? Please clarify since permitting may be required, and information on stage construction, live and wind load capacity is needed for me to approve. STAGE: Is a flatbed trailer. The load capacity of the trailer is 20,000lbs, dead load is 6400lbs. The “stage manager” mentioned is the person running the sound. This role is pertinent to the emergency plan for evacuation of the festival in case of emergency- they are radioed and ready to make any emergency announcement. Savage Buildings: The final permit needed was submitted in 2020 (spider pergola). I have done an annual inquiry into getting the final permit since, but to no closure. (Waiting for a new flood map which is tied up in some court case). All other buildings requiring a permit are complete which should be documented in the extensive file the county stores on this property. Another building with no movement is referenced as the Clown Shed- it is no longer a shed. I have also failed on getting any closure on that issue with the county. Shed are being used to hold the caution tape marking the liquor boundary and fire extinguishers.

Status: Approved
Comments: 1. Per the Fire Code, there is no such thing as a "permanent extension cord" as an extension cord should be used temporarily, which is no more than 180 days. If the extension cord is being used only during the event, that is permitted. 2. All mobile food vendors are required to obtain a 2023 fire permit prior to the event. LFRA will not be able to do food truck inspections and permitting at the event; they must be obtained in advance of June 9. Any food truck without a valid fire permit, will not be allowed to serve. 3. LFRA has scheduled the pre-event permit inspection for 2 0.m. Thursday, June 8, per your request.Parks & Open Lands
