October 11, 2023 c C 0 Marion County Building ARCHITECTURE RE: Captal Futbol Club AM&M COMMUNITY 1100 Liberty Street SE STE 200 Salem,OR 97302 Dear Building Official: P:503.551.a114 www.accoac.com Please find the below statement provided from the executive director of the club in regards to the proposed facility uses to align with the alternate means and methods application submitted. Capital Futbol Club is requesting an alternate means and methods approval to deviate from the occupancy calculations for an indoor soccer facility currently under construction in Marion County, Oregon. The proposed deviation is necessary due to the unique nature of the soccer field, which occupies a large amount of square footage but typically does not have the same number of occupants as other buildings of similar size. For the indoor soccer field, here are two maximum usage scenarios: Scenario 1:Youth tournament/Game play. For a youth game, more players and coaches will be present on the field than an adult game. A CI maximum usage situation would include up to 15 players per team, 2 coaches per team, and 1 referee, for a total of 35 participants. Youth games draw more spectators than adult games. Based on actual examples taken from our facility on Portland Road, we estimate an average of 2 spectators per player,for a total of 60 spectators per game. Therefore, during a youth game or tournament, the maximum number of occupants in the field portion of the building would be 95. There is a short time of overlap between when a game finishes and the next game begins, where the new team and spectators arrive, and the team who has just finished exits the building. At a worst case scenario, this would lead to double the number of occupants in the building for a short period of time. The occupancy would then rise to 190. Scenario 2: Youth Camp/Clinic During a camp, the field is typically divided into thirds, with no more than 15 players per group, and up to 2 coaches per group. The total number of participants on the field would not exceed 50. A high estimate for spectators is 2 per participant(as used in scenario 1). This would bring the total occupancy of the indoor soccer facility to no more than 100.
