TO:Jeanne A. Mabusih, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />FROM:Lyle Oman, Building Official <br />Bruce L. Vang Field Inspector <br />DATE: April 18, 1994 <br />SUBJECT: 2180 North Shore Drive/Atelier LcSueur Institute <br />The subject building was built as a school in the late 1800s. Its last recognized legal use was <br />a residential day care facility <br />The proposed use is an art school that has art students and conducts art shows where the public <br />is invited. The new use is classified as a B-2 occupancy which is different than the previous <br />school use (an E occupancy) and the day care use (an R occupancy). <br />A change of occupancy type requires the building to be brought up to current code for the new <br />use It is recommended that the owner retain a licensed architect to address items incn.ding, but <br />not limited to. Group B occupancy requirements, cxifting requirements, type of construction <br />requirements and handicap access and sanitation requirements. <br />The art school is now in operation without a certificate of occupancy. The Building Department <br />feels we can allow the school to remain open for a reasonable amount of time to allow the owner <br />time to bring the building into compliance provided the owners resolve the immediate hazard of <br />the use of flammable curtains for panitions throughout the building. <br />DOCUMENT PAOO\GE <br />NUMBER # 6
