On September 24, 1996 I joined Steve Weckman on an inspection of a septic system on 2340 Fox Street (Mr. Kelly's existing house property). During this inspection we noted white pipes protruding from the ground at 2620 Fox Street (Mr. Kelly's new home site). These pipes were between the new home and the existing septic system and all were connected by disturbed earth. It was apparent that the new house was connected to septic tanks below the pipes and to the existing non-conforming septic system. On October 25, 1996 I wrote a letter (attached) to Mr. Kelly informing him of our concerns and notified him that the City will not issue a certificate of occupancy until the property meets all current code requirements. On September 26, 1996 Bruce Vang, Field Inspector, was called to the site for a final plumbing � inspection. After completing the inspection he found a note (attached) posted with the building permit inspection cards stating "To Whom It May Concern: I gave Bruce Kelly permission to build this system according to his specifications and their agenda" signed by the Governor of the State of Anarchy. I joined Bruce Vang at the site and posted a "Stop Work Order" and sent away all persons working on the property. On September 30, 1996 Bruce Vang visited the site and found Mr. Kelly had removed the stop work order and moved into the house. Mr. Kelly is in violation of the following: 1) Connecting a new dwelling to a non-conforming septic system, violation of Orono Municipal Code Section 12.30, Subd. 4(A). 2) Installation of portions of a septic system without a permit, violation of Orono Municipal Code Section 12.08, Subd. 1 and without required inspections, Section 12.08, Subd. 3. 3) Noncompliance with conditions of Resolution#3660, violation of Orono Municipal Code Section 4) Removal stop work order, violation of Orono Municipal Code Section 5) Occupancy of building without Certificate of Occupancy, violation of Uniform Building Code Section 109.1 and Orono Municipal Code Section 12.08, Subd. 8. The City's objective is to require Mr. Kelly to: 1) Obtain a permit and install a complying septic system. 2) Arrange a final inspection, comply with any corrections and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. 3) Assess a fine to help cover court costs.
