V SO Department of Administration <br /> March 6, 2003 <br /> Ms. Patt Pratt <br /> 900 North Shore Drive West <br /> Orono,MN 55364 <br /> RE: BCSD File 02.0158 <br /> Meeting recap <br /> Dear Ms. Pratt: <br /> This is a letter recapping the events that took place at your home on December 17, 2002. <br /> You, Lyle Ohman, Orono Building Official, and I were present at that meeting. <br /> The main purpose of that meeting from a Building Codes and Standards Division <br /> standpoint was to verify proper code administration procedures from the local building <br /> department. The initial concern was construction done without inspections at the home <br /> under the previous owner. <br /> The city followed proper procedures when it was discovered by the city that work was <br /> done without proper permits. A permit was eventually issued for the deck portion of the <br /> construction only after a stop work order was issued by the City of Orono. The city <br /> addressed the concerns of the deck somewhat after the fact,being construction had begun <br /> before a permit was issued. The city has confirmed that a less than adequate inspection <br /> was performed by a previous inspector and has extended an apology. <br /> In conclusion, it is the owners' and or the permit applicant's responsibility to secure all <br /> permits and make the project accessible for all inspections as well as notify the <br /> jurisdictional authority when work is ready for inspection. <br /> If you have any further questions feel free to call me at 651-205-4562. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> BUILDING CODES AND STANDARDS DIVISION <br /> CZ'ac � . <br /> reg Karow <br /> Building Code Representative <br /> I:Groups/Investigations/Greg/Patt Pratt Itr.doc <br /> Building Codes and Standards Division,408 Metro Square Building,121 7th Place East,St.Paul,MN 55101-2181 <br /> Voice:651.296.4639,Fax:651.297.1973;TTY: 1.800.627.3529 and ask for 296.9929 <br />
