Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> October 8, 1997 <br /> Mr. Mike Arne <br /> 125 Truffula Trail <br /> Long Lake, Minnesota 55356 <br /> Re: Crack in Stoop <br /> Dear Mr. Arne: <br /> Bruce Vang, Orono Building Inspector,and myself have inspected a crack in the stoop of the home <br /> at 125 Truffula Trail. We have also reviewed reports from two structural engineers. Your engineer <br /> felt it should be investigated further. The builder's engineer felt it was only a cosmetic crack. <br /> The City's position is that this is probably a cosmetic crack and will not affect the structural integrity <br /> of the building, so the city will not take any action at this time. If however a structural problem <br /> occurs(which would probably happen during the first year freeze thaw cycle),the contractor would <br /> be required to repair it under a ten year structural defect warranty required by state statutes. If the <br /> contractor failed to repair it and you were unable to enforce a judgment against him (if he was out <br /> of business for example), you could collect from the State Commerce Department's recoveryfund <br /> and have it repaired. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me at my office. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Lyle Oman <br /> Building Official <br /> LO/ch <br /> II <br /> Enc.
