MN 55356 <br />Dear Mr. Oman: <br />This letter is just a follow up of our conversation of the 21*' of October and it also is in response to your letter of <br />October 17,2002. This letter is more to give you my understanding of the chronology of this so that we are in <br />agreement on this. My boathouse deck was replaced in April of2001. I did the work myself. Cost and materials <br />was approximately S900. I replaced the deck because it was rotting and I believed it to be a danger. The <br />dimensions to the deck were not changed when I replaced it. The deck does have a railing that meets code. I <br />failed to get a permit to replace the existing decK because quite frankly I did not think I needed to get a permit to <br />replace an existing structure that did not change the dimensions. However, because of an inspection by someone <br />in Orono they decided that I needed a permit to do this. In fact I did place an application for a retroactive permit in <br />July of 2001 . With this I sent a check, which was ^\â– ice the cost because it was a retroactive permit. 1 also <br />provided documents, sketches and photograph of the pre-existing deck. I did not hear anything about this until <br />your letter of October 1 7,2002. <br />So, in summary, approximately 15 months went betw een my application for a retroactive permit with check <br />included and this letter that I received from you on October 17. I know you are very busy with all the construction <br />going on and that you are overworked with all the issues under your jurisdiction. I do not have to walk very far <br />from my house to look at houses that are blotimg out the sun that have been recently remodeled, so, my question <br />would be. what happened? Again, my position in this matter is that I replaced a pre-existing deck with dimen;.ions <br />ai the pre-existing dimensions and the deck was replaced because it was structurally unsound. I did the work <br />myself and the cost of material was $900. This has row taken 15 months to resolve for actually no change in my <br />property. I would like this resolved at the soonest possible time. <br />Sincerely, <br />S. Scott Standa, DP.M <br />SSS/soap/sb <br />Mailing Address: P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal, MN. 55323
