TO: FROM; Ron Moorse, City Administrator Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator DATE:February 7, 1994 SUBJECT:Update Memo Building Code Board of Appeals The Building Code Board of Appeals convened on Januaiy 26, 1994 to consider the need for a second exit from the third floor of the Jundt residence located at 1400 Bracketts Point Road. The five member board first met at the site and were provided with a tour of the home currently under renovation by the owners. After each board member had an opportunity to review the third floor area and ask questions of the owrars or the building official, the meeting was then reconvened at the City Council Chambers. The Board considered the pertinent sections of the building code referenced by both the building official and appellants ’ attorney. Members determined that only one section was applicable in this case as the building official had not employed a section of the code dealing with hazardous building and ordering the second exit through that specific section. If that section of the code was ordered by the building official, members would not have questioned his action. Appellants ’ attorney asked for special consideration under another section of the building code. Members concluded that the building would not be hazardous if a second exit was not required and that the proposed improvements did not intensify the use of the third floor. The findings of the Board of Appeals have been transmitted to the State Board for their review and final action. The City will receive final word from the State within ten days of the date of transmittal of the official findings, February 2, 1994. Eisinger Filling Project The Police Department has been working closely with the Zoning staff with the monitoring of the Eisinger fill project currently underway. The City has received several complaints over the condition of the roadway as being unsafe because of the nature of the soils deposited on the right-of-way. Two accidents have been reported as a result of the activity at the access point, one dealing with a dump truck and the other with ;» pickup truck attempting to enter the dump site. Staff called for a meeting of G «& L Construction. Eisinger ’s representatives, the City of Wayzata Engineer and Eagle Trucking, agent for G & L Construction, responsible hauler for all trucks participating in the fill project. Problems were reviewed with the agents. The City advised that we would be tagging all trucks that were dropping fill on the roadway creating the unsafe conditions. Review was made of their procedures at the Gleason Lake site to determine if there was a better way to keep truck s in a cleaner condition upon leaving the site.
