0 MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING <br />HELD JUNE 25,1997 <br />In a letter dated March 14, 1996, Oman states, "One of the conditions for <br />approval was to comply with building code items related to the change in <br />occupancy classification." <br />Schneider stated his point in presenting these documents was to show the occupancy <br />classification was still in ongoing negotiation stages. <br />Schneider referred to Document #4, a letter from Todd Mohagen, an architect <br />at Mohagen Architects, Ltd. indicating there had never been a certificate of <br />occupancy issued for a change in use, therefore, the Old Hill Schools would <br />be an E occupancy. <br />In a letter dated June 13, 1997, Architect Russell Salon stated he had <br />participated in adult classes and was on the Board of Directors for Atelier <br />LeSueur. He had observed children's illustration classes being taught on a <br />full -time basis. <br />The chief instructor for the children's art classes at Atelier LeSueur was Kim <br />• Alleman- Beaty. She states that children's classes were held week nights from <br />4:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. (3 -5 evenings a week), Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 <br />p.m. and a summer program from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. daily. <br />Schneider noted the threshold for E occupancy is 12 hours or more a week or 4 hours <br />in one day for children under the 12th grade. <br />Another past instructor, Mike Coyle, states in a letter dated June 16, 1997 <br />that "these classes used the building in excess of 12 hours per week during <br />the fall of 1993 to the fall of 1996." <br />In a letter dated June 18, 1997, past Board Member Patricia Allar states that <br />"during the period of occupancy at the Old School House in Orono children's <br />classes were being offered on a full time basis." <br />Marcia Haggerty, a teacher and student from 1980 -1988, states "There were <br />always children's classes going on every year at the Ateliers where Annette <br />LeSueur oversaw and/or taught classes." <br />Schneider reiterated that previous documents have shown the B -2 classification was <br />proposed by the City, not the architect. <br />• <br />
