Does RSE's water system provide adequate flow to its sprinkler systems and when was this last tested or inspected?
In the event of power failure, is there provision for water to be pumped/delivered to the sprinkler system?
Has the Fire Marshal established the minimum residual pressure?
With the fire and smoke alarm system at RSE has a copy of the current maintenance contract been provided to the Fire Marshal?

Scope. This appendix is the procedure for determining 1.  fire-flow requirements for all buildings hereafter constructed. This appendix is not intended to apply to structures other than buildings. The fire-flow requirements are the quantity of water in gallons per minute needed to control an anticipated fire in a building or group of buildings. Fire flow shall be as per requirements of the adjoining urban jurisdiction throughout all new or substantially improved buildings exceeding 7,500 square feet within the Lacey, Olympia or Tumwater urban growth boundary where municipal fire flow is supplied.
The chief shall establish the minimum residual pressure. 
Definitions: 2. 
  FIRE AREA is the total floor area in square feet for all floor levels within the exterior walls, or under the horizontal projection of the roof of a building. Each portion of a building separated by a firewall constructed in accordance with the International Building Code may be considered as separate fire areas for the purposes of determining the required fire flow.

Chapter 20.54 - SPECIAL USE*

EMF Comment:
There is significant impact on traffic patterns along the 510Hwy/Yelm hwy S.E. and along 93rd Avenue before, during and after RSE events.
There has been an ongoing increase of intensity of use at RSE. When was the special use permit reviewed through inspection during events?
Under what designation/classification are the special use permit issued to JZ Knight and what is the term of use granted for?
the most recent special use permit's expiration date was Febuary 2000
How many special use permits have been renewed or granted to JZ Knight; was there an inspection or evaluation conducted prior to subsequent to the issuing of special use permits?
Does JZ Knight have a special use permit to produce and/or conduct retail sales of products on site?
Does JZ Knight hold a special use permit to provide RV camping with electrical hook-ups on her property?
Has JZ Knight obtained permits from Thurston County Public Health & Social Services to operate or allow the operation of the following?
-A Mobile Food/Drink Unit for the coffee trailer located adjacent to the arena.
-A Food Establishment/Food court?

If JZ Knight is operating as a retreat facility, which seems to be the most appropriate classification listed under special use permits:

- The combined maximum building coverage far exceeds the allowed 20,000 square feet as outlined in section 34.3 a.
- The use of a single 20,000 square foot building is a violation under section 34.3 b.
- The absence of sight obscuring plantings along the 100 foot setback is a violation under section 34.3 d.

20.54.010 - Purpose and intent.
Each zoning district lists special uses that, because of their special impact or unique characteristics, can have a substantial adverse impact upon or be incompatible with other uses of land. This impact often cannot be determined in advance of the use being proposed for a particular location. Such uses may be allowed to locate within given districts only through the review process of the special use permit and under the controls, limitations and regulations of such permits. This chapter establishes general and specific development standards for special uses and provides for a review process which will evaluate the location, scale, compatibility with rural character and development characteristics of such uses and their impact on adjacent properties and the community as a whole, to the end that such uses may be approved, modified, or disapproved fairly and objectively.
(Ord. 13235 § 13, 2004: Ord. 11398 § 3 (part), 1997: Ord. 8216 § 108 (part), 1985)
20.54.015 - Approval authority.
1. Administrative Approval. Applications for the following types of special uses shall be reviewed and approved, modified or denied by the development services department:
a. Home occupations;
b. Expansions of nonconforming, nonresidential uses by no more than five percent;
c. Mobile or manufactured home parks (two to four mobile/manufactured homes per lot);
d. Temporary uses listed in Section 20.54.070(41.5)(b) in zoning districts shown on Table 1;
e. Attached or co-located WCFs within urban growth areas;
f. Remote freestanding WCF/antenna support structures that would not extend more than thirty feet above all adjacent trees within one hundred feet of the proposed WCF/antenna support structure location and would be located more than one mile from a residential district and co-located WCFs that do not require an increase in the height of the antenna support structure.
g. Family day care provider; and
h. Community club.
2. Hearing Examiner Approval. The approval authority for all other special use permits, including proposed expansions (greater than five percent) to or conversions of nonconforming, nonresidential uses, is the hearing examiner. (See Chapter 20.60.)
(Ord. 13235 § 14, 2004; Ord. 13058 § 3, 2003: Ord. 12463 § 17, 2001; Ord. 11867 § 1 (part), 1998; Ord. 11804 § 100, 1998: Ord. 11398 § 3 (part), 1997: Ord. 11025 § 28, 1995: Ord. 8216 § 108 (part), 1985)
20.54.020 - Authorization.
When an application for a special use is filed with the development services department, the approval authority may authorize establishment of those uses that are expressly listed as special uses in a particular zoning district. No special use shall be issued unless the use complies with all of the applicable standards of this chapter and all other applicable requirements of this title.
(Ord. 11398 § 3 (part), 1997: Ord. 8216 § 108 (part), 1985)
20.54.030 - Status of special use.
Any use for which a special use is authorized by the approval authority and which complies with the specific requirements of this chapter and those of other applicable chapters of this title shall be deemed to be a permitted use on the lot on which it is thus permitted. Once a special use has been authorized, however, the use shall not be enlarged, extended, increased in intensity, or relocated unless an application is made for a new or amended special use authorization.
(Ord. 11398 § 3 (part), 1997: Ord. 8216 § 108 (part), 1985)
20.54.040 - General standards.
In addition to the specific standards set forth hereinafter with regard to particular special uses, all uses authorized as special uses shall meet the following standards:
1. Plans, Regulations, Laws. The proposed use at the specified location shall comply with the Thurston County Comprehensive Plan and all applicable federal, state, regional, and Thurston County laws or plans.
2. Underlying Zoning District. The proposed use shall comply with the general purposes and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations and subarea plans. Open space, lot, setback and bulk requirements shall be no less than that specified for the zoning district in which the proposed use is located unless specifically provided otherwise in this chapter.
3. Location. No application for a special use shall be approved unless a specific finding is made that the proposed special use is appropriate in the location for which it is proposed. This finding shall be based on the following criteria:
a. Impact. The proposed use shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property, neighborhood character, natural environment, traffic conditions, parking, public property or facilities, or other matters affecting the public health, safety and welfare. However, if the proposed use is a public facility or utility deemed to be of overriding public benefit, and if measures are taken and conditions imposed to mitigate adverse effects to the extent reasonably possible, the permit may be granted even though the adverse effects may occur.
b. Services. The use will be adequately served by and will not impose an undue burden on any of the improvements, facilities, utilities, or services existing or planned to serve the area.
4. Time Limits.
a. Expiration of Approval. If a building permit has not been issued, or if construction activity or operation has not commenced within three years from the date of final approval, the special use permit shall expire. The special use permit shall also expire when the use or activity for which the permit was granted is vacated for a period of three years.
b. Upon the application of the owner or representative, the approval authority may grant a one year extension. In no case shall the approval authority grant an extension for more than one year at a time. If an extension of time is approved, the special use permit will be subject to all new and amended regulations, requirements, policies or standards which are adopted after the original date of approval.
c. Knowledge of the expiration date and initiation of a request for extension approval time is the responsibility of the applicant. The county is not responsible for providing notification prior to expiration. All requests for an extension of time must be submitted to the department prior to expiration of the special use permit.
d. Time Limit and Re-Review. Where the approval authority is the hearing examiner, there may be a condition to provide time limits for the use. If it is determined after review that the special use no longer meets the conditions set by the hearing examiner at the time of the initial approval, the use may be terminated, or such standards added as will achieve compliance with the original hearing examiner conditions.
5. Signs. In addition to the requirements of Chapter 20.40, the following provisions apply to uses approved by this chapter:
a. For home occupations and home-based industries, there shall be no more than one sign, not to exceed six square feet in area, and except for home occupations, may be attached to the structure housing the special use or may be freestanding. Freestanding signs shall not exceed forty-two inches in height measured from the ground to the top of the sign. Signs shall be unlit and shall use nonflashing, nonreflective materials. Colors shall be nongarish and consistent with residential character.
b. For home occupations, the sign shall be attached to the home or the structure housing the home occupation. Where the building is not visible from the nearest public road serving the property, one freestanding sign complying with the foregoing specifications may also be placed near the road.
c. For other uses consisting of a single business or use on a site in residential zoning district, there shall be no more than one two-faced sign not to exceed thirty-two square feet per side; or alternatively, two signs attached to the building below the roof line, or placed close to the building, with a combined square footage not to exceed thirty-two square feet.
d. Multi-business sites shall be governed by Chapter 20.40.

EMF Comment:
Does RSE's water system provide adequate flow to its sprinkler systems and when was this last tested or inspected?
In the event of power failure, is there provision for water to be pumped/delivered to the sprinkler system?
Has the Fire Marshal established the minimum residual pressure?
With the fire and smoke alarm system at RSE has a copy of the current maintenance contract been provided to the Fire Marshal?
Matthew Schubart is also present when all testing is done.
I personally participated in the maintenance of these systems.

Does JZ Knight hold a special use permit to provide RV camping with electrical hook-ups on her property?
Has JZ Knight obtained permits from Thurston County Public Health & Social Services to operate or allow the operation of the following?
-A Mobile Food/Drink Unit for the coffee trailer located adjacent to the arena.
-A Food Establishment/Food court?
I can tell you YES to these as well.
The maintenance department keeps on top of these records.

I would have to double check on the special use permits for the traffic.

you may be better to inquire about the parking area as an actual parking area.
Per Thurston county, I do not think the parking area (with yellow ropes) is allowed as such.
One would have to do their due diligence in this regards.

Hi Tree,

Thank you for your firsthand information... :idea:

To summarize the RSE business license permit situation... this is my understanding.
In 1998, Thurston County issued JZ Knight a Two Year Temporary use Permit -SUP-95-007-, that granted JZ Knight to operate RSE, Inc as a 'Fraternity'
all other permits rest upon this foundation SUP that lapsed in February 2000, the stipulations were never completed, nor the permit renewed.
What has followed 'at least for the past 12 years' is clever RSE/County smokescreens, that sidesteps the fact JZ Knight is operating RSE without a valid permit.
it could be argued that the county issuing JZ Knight an SUP to operate a 'Fraternity" is illegal.
How can a multi-million dollar international corporation be permitted to operate as a frigging fraternity? a fraternity of what? :-? RSE is not a fraternity, never was.
I should point out that the RSE Fire inspection permit documentation we have seen was not signed off by a Fire Marshal! The signatures are illegible.
I will try and find those inspection documents and post them on EMF.
Thurston county commissioner Sandra Romero was directly notified by EMF of the dangerous and illegal situations at RSE and the permit issues.
She and all county officials totally ignored our letters/documentation, and continue to turn a blind eye...
Follow the money... :idea:
If you 'or any of our EMF members' have any information/understanding on the 'tampering' of the RSE Fire and Smoke Alarms during events
Please PM me.

David.

I have no personal knowledge of the SUP.
I was not aware all the other permitting rests on the shoulders of that SUP.
This, and the parking situation, which according to what I have read re: parking in Thurston County
would be the crux of the situation.

I would imagine the maintenance and business staff (most likely Robert Hoffman and Teri Stewart) is pretty busy this week :lol:

Hi Tree,

From our research....The county/RSE uses a private contractor to conduct those Fire safety inspections..
I will do some digging and post the records / documentation we have on EMF.

From what I understand about Robert Hoffman, he was 'let go' by Judith!

Yes, the ranch worked with Knight Protection.
All was certified.

just the facts...and the documentaion to back it up. :idea:
RSE was not inspected by the County Fire Marshal's office..
but a private fire protection company 'certified' no doubt.
for the record....this information is important in the greater picture....

Hello Everyone
I have decided to remove a couple of things that did not belong here, but the rest stand as is.
I want everyone here to know even though Tree like to make herself look important for whatever sake she want to justified it, Tree was in Charge of the garden at the Ranch nothing else. On the Video David put out We mentioned that The Fire Alarm System has been disable, that mean that it can be tempered with. I know it can be done because I have seen it done myself. This can be done with one Breaker that can be in another panel labeled something else, so any inspector would not be able really noticed it. So all one has to do when inspection time come is to flip that breaker. If you look at the video that amount of smoke would have set any fire alarm Off. Also Tree did not know much about the secret working at the Ranch she did not know about the Use permit.
For all you new people, Tree Mentioned she was banned from EMF, she was banned under the name Tree but we let her post under the name Walk In The Park as long as she behave, When she mentioned that she met some of the director of EMF but did not connected with them it was my wife and I, we took her out for dinner just before she left for her trip back east she use to live in Vegas, Monique and I was very nice with her our dinner lasted close to 3 hrs she told us that she had a great time and was happy to have connected with us again . You see we knew Tree from Yelm, met her around April 1990, her and her partner did some work for us ,.Tree was very affected by RSE, she probably could be the poster face for what Cult like RSE can do to innocent people’s mind.
Tree never got along with David, we knew it was or is just a matter of time before confrontation arise with her on here, some can be productive and some can be very detrimental.
The statement that she made about the fire Protection at the Ranch, is really made without a lot of knowledge or even common sense seeing all that smoke and saying that the Fire Protection is in working order at the Ranch.
All of us at EMF are very careful for the information we put on here, we check everything very carefully knowing that it will be seen by many different authorities, so we are as precise as we can. But statement like Tree did can be very harmful to our effort to exposed this Charlatan, it take lot of time for us to rectified and explain statement like that.

Robair-

I am not here to make myself look important.
I took care of more things than you know of at the Ranch.
I find your post personally insulting and unprofessional.

I, along with the rest of the maintenance department took care of all the Fire documentation.
I was present and participatory in all of the processes while I was employed there.

I think as a moderator this should have been handled way differently than blasting on a public forum.

I do know what I am talking about in regards to the maintenance at the ranch.
I have been honest about what I do NOT know about.

Thank you Robair, for your support. :roll:


and believe me, I am ALL for exposing jz knight as the charlatan that she is.
I definitely can be the poster girl for what happens to people when their minds are messed with from a cult!

Tree..I will reply to your PM... ASAP..
Thank you.
Back to the Thread topic: Thurston County, BUSINESS LICENSES AND REGULATIONS
Tree;
I was present and participatory in all of the processes while I was employed there.
These were not inspections from the Fire Marshal.
What you are talking about is the maintenance /procedures/ inspections by a private Fire inspection company
based on an invalid public use SUP permit... such as a private school with 2000 students packed in an arena.
We know for a fact... that the system has failed during power outages...Smoke/Fire alarms switched off.. The list goes on and on..
for those that have done the 'due diligence' on these issues :idea: ...
JZ Knight has placed a 'smoke screen' that hides a very dangerous and illegal situation at RSE,
a 'school' where thousands of brainwashed students believe they are divinely protected by 'Ramtha' for any catastrophe happening to them, or RSE... :-?

Thank you David. ( bowing emoticon)

As I stated in the SUP thread, I understood that was not withstanding.

As for Robair, that dinner left a very bad taste in my mouth when I left. That was my experience.
Your wife was very sweet.
I should have taken the advice of my current partner : not a good idea to go to dinner.

But as we all are recovering in whatever degrees from this coercive persuasive bitch of a cult,
we are at varying degrees of how to move forward and how to heal.
For some, it takes a form of aggressive moves towards the leader.
For others, it is time to step back in a cave, heal, and then move forward helping others.
Some can't even be bothered with any of the above.
And some who are healing help in any little way that they can. (<----that would be my method).
And yet some have been steadfast in progressing with information to assuage the leader
in hopes of the group imploding. (As has been the case with Hitler, Jim Jones, Koresh, FLDS, etc. The koolaid is coming folks!!)

If some of the idosyncrasies of the original group are not addressed, then the group who is forming a NEW group
takes on the tendencies of the original group. And that would mean divisive-ness.
A cult leader divides and conquers.

I would hope, after all the information and stories that are shared here, we can move beyond
"divide and conquer."
Leave that for the lower road traveled.

Hello Everyone
As some of you know Monique and I had to go to Montreal to help with Monique's sister sickness and doing so did not keep up with all EMF, did not see this respond from Tree.
We came back home 3 days ago, Like I mentioned on my last post that Tree could be the poster face for what cults can do to people, some of us have been much more affected then others by Cults and Tree is one of them, perhaps some prior disposition that existed in some of us can make it even harder if not next to impossible to recovered fully from a programming cult experience. When I started with EMF I did not know much about, mind control or manipulation, But after 5 years researching and reading, I have a better understanding about this very deep concept of mind control. That been said that will not stop me to confront anyone when the need is there, That is all for now.
Thank you everyone
Robair
