Box 66 Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 July 29, 1997 M�rty Schneider 1235 Hunter Drive Wayzata, M�nnesota 55391 � Dear Mr. Schneider: i The city of Orono's Building Code Board of Appeals has determined the type of use proposed I by the Environmental School for your building to be an E classification. To meet the requirements for this use classification,your building needs significant improvements. Because there is a very short time remaining before the fa11 opening of the Environmental School, it is very important that these improvements are initiated as soon as possible. All improvements necessary for the building to comply with the E classification will need to be completed before the Environmental School use will be allowed to begin. T'he existence of an in-process appeal of the Building Code Board of Appeals ruling will not be a reason to allow the Environmental School use to begin without the building being in full compliance. The Building Code Boazd of Appeals'decision,and the minutes of the Board's meeting,have been forwarded to the State Building Code Department for their review. It is my understanding that the scope of their review relates more to determining whether the Building Code Boazd of Appeals was within its scope of authority in the decision that it made,than to reviewing the specifics of the code interpretation made at the local level. You also have the ability to appeal the decision to the � State Building Code Commissioner of Administration. Again,it is my understanding the review by the Commissioner is generally to ensure the Building Code Board of Appeals was within its � authority in the decision it made,rather than reviewing the specifics of the code interpretation made ; at the local level. It is unclear how long the process of review by the State Building Code Department, and a '; potential appeal to the Commissioner, will take. What is clear is that the conditional use pernut approved by the City Council, for the use of your building by the Environmental School,requires that you retain an architect to address code requirements for change of occupancy. Because the Environmental School wants to begin its use on September 1,there are only five (5)weeks remaining to accomplish the necessary improvements to the building. It is important that Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510
