This letter is to notify you that the City requires building permits for the construction of additions. Therefore, the City must require you to remove the addition or submit a building permit application along with building plans, and a survey showing the location of the addition. A review will be done and if found to be in compliance with building and zoning codes a permit can be issued. A deadline of February 2, 2004 has been established for submittals. If this deadline is not met the City will initiate legal action. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my office. Sincerely, &yL QA,.

Box 66 Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 February 4, 2004 James Barth 3725 Togo Road Wayzata, MN 55391 Dear Mr. Barth: I have attempted to return your phone call of February 2, 2004, however the line has been busy. The issue is that the addition to the rear of your garage was not approved. The City approved a 32'x26' garage. The bump out in the back was not approved and depending on the size, may not be allowed. A new deadline of February 10, 2004 has been established for removal or application submittal. If this deadline is not met the City will initiate legal action. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my office. Sincerely,_ 4 Q44,4, . .
