Construction Details
Sliding Door
The last construction task was the design:
construction
and installation:
of
this barn door:
The man door in the middle is provided so the sliding door provides a
legal handicap exit.
If the sliding door is open far enough that the
man door becomes obstructed than there is a sufficient opening to
satisfy the handicap exit rules.
Structural anlysis was done on this door because the top section is
fairly narrow 2 by 3 steel channel and a top panel with steel
plates was required to satisfy wind loads:
and the possible load of
sliding the door into an obstruction:
Barn Permit Plans Egress Update (revision 4)
These plans were submitted to amend the exit route allowing egress
through the sliding door of the old barn. The egress is enabled by
putting a man door in the sliding door and positioning the man door
so that if the sliding door is opened an acceptable egress exists
when the man door passes beyond the side of the aisle opening.

Barn Permit Plans Apartment Update (revision 3)
These plans were submitted to amend the building permit a second
time. They add the apartment and raise the roof in the hayloft
perimeter to make better use of the hayloft space. Unfortunately
the north windows of the apartment have to be eliminated to
accomplish this.

Permit Plans Update Removes 'Future' Items
These plans update the overall design to remove all mention of the
apartment, bathroom and fixtures that require plumbing (listed as
future items in the 12/28 permit plans). They were
required by the town to issue a building permit for the barn while
pool septic system repair was incomplete. Everyone agreed that the
plans could be amended to add the septic related systems once the
pool septic repair was complete.

Foundation Plans Moved for Survey Issues
Final survey data showed the barn to be 6 inches off in the GLM
survey. The arena and new barn positions were adjusted to maintain
setback clearances. These new positions are reflected in the
architectural plans dated 17 September 2017 and any later updates.

Code Compilance
Code compliance was performed by
Harold Cutler. The code that
applies is the Eighth edition of the Mass. building code which
consists of the 2009 IBC with Mass amendments. The result of that
compliance
analysis was included verbatum as text in the overall
architectural plans. These plans were
submitted as part of the initial arena design and have been
included with each
sucessive set of architectural plans. On 1 February 2018 Mr.
Cutler when asked if we could use his name and credentials said by email:
"That’s fine. I have been an integral part of the development of
the plans for the project and concur with the accessory use
designation given the restriction to occupancy of the apartment by
a barn manager." In actual fact the characterization of the
apartment as an accessory use was first used in a draft of the code
analysis by Mr. Cutler.
Fire Alarm
Wildstar installed a commercial grade fire alarm. Although the
Wildstar code consultant did not believe that this was true the
building inspector claimed that Massachusetts code amendments
required sprinklers throughout the facility. He then encouraged
Wildstar to obtain a variance to allow what the code consultant
expected to be required.
Wildstar obtained this variance to allow sprinklers only in the
apartment section. Part of the variance said that the Fire Offical
had to approve the Fire Alarm systems. That official did not accept
the original design (presented at the variance hearing)
which expanded the existing house and barn alarms to the entire new
facility. The Fire Official wanted a commercial grade alarm system.
Rather than delay the project Wildstar installed the much more
expensive commercial system.
Sirens and strobes in a horse riding area are considered by PATH to
be a hazard to riders. Any triggering of these is likely to spook a
horse and injure the rider. Other jurisdictions prohibit these
items in a riding arena. Rather than fight this issue Wildstar has
installed them as demanded by the Fire Official. Wildstar has
requested of the Sherborn Fire Department
that this requirement be eliminated, this has has not yet occured.
(The elimination is a simple programming update to the existing
system.)
A commercial grade fire alarm system is installed. This is the
Fire
alarm record of completion.
See the Barn Fire Panel page for zone
information.
Fire Reset After Alarm
When the fire alarm system detects an alarm it is supposed to call the
fire department. Apartment issues are not supposed to set off the
sirens and strobes in the arena. About 10 June 2023 the alarm system correctly
detected smoke in the apartment. This correctly did not trigger
arena alerts, but, the fire department was not called until much
later (perhaps an hour) after calls to the people! The behavior was
about what we expect if the house detects smoke, but, calling for
confirmation first is not
supposed to be allowed for the barn system.
Clearing the alarm so it turns off the audible and strobe
signalling requires a human
intervention. Press and hold the Reset button in the fire panel
until it says 'Output in Progress'. Then enter *259## on the panel.
This should reset the alarm and turn off the signalling. NOTE: if
the cause is still present the system will detect it again and
trigger a new alarm.
Sprinklers
A complete discussion of sprinkers and fire alarm requirements is
in the Sprinkler Appeal page.
Septic Discussion with the Board of Health
Civilized Solutions prepared a
31 January 2017 letter for the Board of
Health
discussing why the existing septic system could support an
additional bedroom. The letter states that the system can support
a 5 bedroom flow with a 50 percent overcapacity for the installation
of a garbage grinder. No garbage grinder is installed or planned.
Wildstar's expectation in addition to this letter is that the site should
be considered as a multi-structure campus in the same way as the
Pope campus at 26 Bullard Street was considered. The bedroom count
evaluation there was performed on a building by building basis
rather than by adding up the room count of each building.
The existing house at 16 Nason Hill Lane contains four bedrooms.
The current assessment records have this narrative:
This parcel contains 11.3 ACRES of land mainly classified as
ONE FAM with a CONTEMP Building built about 1980,
having primarily WOOD Exterior and 8445 Square Feet,
with 1 Unit, 4 Baths, 0 3/4 Bath, 1 HalfBath, 9 Rooms, and 4 Bdrms.
Spelling and capitalization from the narrative.
The health agent gets a slightly different room count by counting one
of the basement rooms. He also considered the kitchen and dining room a
single room.
The barn and associated apartment contain one bedroom. There are
two conditioned rooms in the apartment plus the tack room and
office. There is one
bathroom in the apartment and on half bath adjacent to the tack
room. There is also an entry-way containing a sink and washer/dryer
adjacent to the tack room.
The Board of Health indicated that they would approve this system
with a deed restriction when a full septic plan for the barn was proposed.
Drainage and Septic Layout
Joe Marquedant is following on from the work by Civilized
Solutions. He has completed drainage plans for the barn and
arena:
Drainage Page 1
Drainage Page 2
As well as a septic design:
Septic Page 1
Septic Page 2
On Monday 14 November 2017 the Board of Health approved these plans
giving the health agent authority to grant final approvals when
Fred King renews his license. The Board wants the pool septic
repair completed
before approval of the apartment. The pipe was lined from the
new pumping chamber up to the pool house. The final approval is
still pending a signoff from GLM. Unfortunately the septic engineer
that was doing the work has left GLM.

Septic Finish Grades
On 25 July 2019 Joe Marquedant submitted a
Finish Grades Survey
(DWG
file) to the town of Sherborn completing the septic
construction for the barn. This survey also included finish grades for
the pool repair and completes that construction too.
Septic Layout
Civilized Solutions proposed two possible choices for the septic layout and connection to the
existing septic system. The Gravity system is the selected
strategy.
Gravity
fed septic design This passes under the chicken coop and runs
entirely by gravity.
Supplement Sheet 1
Pumped
septic design This has less disturbance but requires a pump and
associated alarm.
The septic system from the barn to the D-box of the house septic
system was built, inspected by Mark Oram and approved for cover.
This is the as build septic plan.
Poolhouse Septic Repair
When the house was purchased a cesspool was found southeast of the
outdoor pool that supported a toilet and shower in the pool house.
This failed title 5. The
sellers provided an approved design for repair of this system that
replaced the cesspool with a pumped system. The pump basin joins
the house septic system. The initial design did not have a cleanout
anywhere in this line and was updated to add the cleanout. The pump
basin and forced main were constructed after the purchase of the
house. The septic system for the barn apartment requires that this
pool house repair is completed prior to approval.
Pool
septic repair initial design This design is what was presented
to the board of health. It required modification to add cleanouts.

built plan for pool
septic repair.
Final Compliance for
this repair was recieved on 3 October 2019.
Light Fixture Interpretation
Wildstar wanted to use inexpensive
Shop light LED luninares from Costco
throughout the barn and arena. These fixtures are UL dust and damp rated. The electrical inspector pushed our
electrician to use vapor sealed fixtures in the barn aisles. His
rationale was that dust and wet rated fixtures were needed in a barn. The
fixtures used were dust and wet rated with a cord that plugged in
to an outlet. They cost three times what the Costco luninares cost.
The inspector then wanted the fixtures to be connected by runs of
conduit. The electrician modified the fixtures removing the cord,
drilling holes and attaching conduit to the holes. The inspector
liked this change. Wildstar
believes that the change violates the
wet rating and could not be used if wet rated fixtures were actually
required. Wildstar consulted a friend (the electrical inspector for
a much larger town) who held that only dust rated
fixtures should be required in barn aisles (wet rated fixtures are required
in areas of animal confinement such as stalls). Given this opinion Wildstar did not
object to the fixture modifications which, after modification, were
no longer damp rated.
The inspector wanted the same sealed fixtures in the arena. His
rationale for this area was that three prong plugs were required.
The Costco fixtures only had two prong plugs.
Wildstar already owned and had temporarily installed the Costco
lights. For the arena Wildstar contacted the state Board of Fire Prevention
Regulations. Phone conversations were held with Paul Vigneau in
early December 2019 followed by an email on December 7th 2018 with a
Request for Interpretation
attached. A follow up email was sent on January 11th to Richard
Fredette. On May 28th, 2019 a formal
response was sent that said
that the "authority having jurisdiction ... shall accept listed and
labeled equipment...". Long befor this letter arrived the
electrical inspector allowed the Costco lights in the arena.
Site Information
The surveyors provided these Pin
Locations to reference where the foundation goes. This
detail is important because the retaining wall does not have
easy corners to pin. The locations were taken from the 17
September 2017 design.

Setback Requirements
These
setback
requirements (revised version) were proposed by GLM and confirmed by
email with building inspector Henry Fontaine who said: 'As I review I agree with what you have with the exception of the front
set-back, it is 60 feet.'. The original sketch incorrectly showed 40
foot distance at the front of the lot while calling out a front
setback.
Use of Native Lumber
To be able to use the trees cut from the land Wildstar is has
become a certified mill. This allows Wildstar to certify native
lumber for structural use.

email chain with Mass. DPS shows the trials and
tribulations of that process.
