Re: Field Observations, Job #88017
Dear Larry:
At your request I visited the Big Island Vets Camp on March 7,
1988, for the purpose of making a visual structural inspection of
the main lodge.
OWERVATIONS
Most of the superstructure, including wall framing, is visitle from
the inside. The superstructure is framed of dimensioned lumber.
The main roof framing makns three spans of 151, 30' and 15'. The
center 30' span is a wood truss configuration at column lines and
2x61s at 16" o.c. between column lines. The two exterior 15'
spans are 2x6 rafters. The roof pitch appears to be approximately
2 to 3:12. The wales are constructed of 2x4 studs at 16" o.c. with
heights varying from 14 to 181. Stud walls are bracing back to the
roof with 2x6 kickers at 8' o.c. The exterior siding is tongue and
groove nailed directly to the studs. No deterioration or signs of
distress were observed.
Observation of the kitchen ceiling revealed a skylight that is
apparently not part of the original construction. There is
evidence of water damage around the skylight.
The wood floor of the lodge appears to be tight. No signs of
deterioration or distress were observed. "he floor was observed to
be depressed and out of level just north o: the new well location,
the northwest corner of the building, 15' north of the southwest
corner of the building (porch not included) and in the area of the
main porch entry steps on the south side of the building.
Observation under the flc+--_ in the area of the well revealed that
1207 Marmon Place • Minneapolis, Minnesota 55403 - Telephone (612) 332-8728
the column near the well was supported on the floor beams in a
cantilever condition rather than directly supported on its own
foundation block.
Observation of the exterior of the building revealed that the
structure is plumb and square. Observations of the exterior
building at the floor line confirmed the unlevel floor observaticns
Bade inside. The roof was observed to be cf consistent slope with
o significant deflec*.ion except over the main porch entry.
It is my understanding that t1o._orches on the north and east sides
of the building are t) be rem-, with the exception of the area
founded on a co-..crete block wal;. rear the northeast corner. The
rafters of this area appear to oe framed into the false rafter
ends of the main building.
Observation of the interior foundation is limited to what can be
•een from the area of the interior well and from the exterior where
grade is low. The main columns and interior beams appear to be
founded on either concrete bricks or shallow concrete pads. The
space beLween grade and the floor structure varies from about 3' to
almost nothing. This crawl space was observed to be dry except
near the new well. This small amount of water may be from the
drilling operation. Floor framing where observed appears to be
sound and dry with no signs of listress other than at the column
near the well.
The exterior foundations are a combination of shallow concrete
pads, concrete brick, concrete block, and wood shims supportin
columns. Some are sound, level and undisturbed while others apt a:
to have settled and tilted over the years. Where thin wood shims
have been used, they are crushing. Where small concrete brick has
been used they have begun to crack. Those column supports that
appear to have settled are located where floor depressions were
observed. Several braces from the bottom of columns to the floor
structure above were disconnected.
The beam behind the main porch steps shows marked signs of
deterioration.
REMMMENDATIONS
1. The walls and superstructure appear to be in good condition
and capable of performing their intended function just as
they have since the lodge was constructed.
2. The kitchen skylight ;should be made watertight and the
franinq around it checked for deterioration and replaced if
necessary. It is important that this framing, which is
covered by a ceiling be allowed to dry out.
3. The porch rafters that are currently supported on main
buildinq false rafters should be resupported at the main
building wall. Since this may slightly increase the span of
these rafters, their adequacy should be verified.
4. The column near the well should be jacked up to its proper
elevation and resupported by a concrete pad of sufficient
area.
5. The exterior column supports should be reviewed on an
individual basis. Those located at floor depressions and
those not supported on level undisturbed concrete pads
should be replaced with round or square concrete piers
extending to frost depth. The need for a spread footing at
frost depth should be investigated. During this
replacement, the structure should be raised so the floor is
level with the rest of the main floor.
6. The floor beam behind the main porch steps should be
replaced along with its supports. Again, raising the beam
to its proper elevation should correct the apparent floor
and roof depressions.
7. Hold down anchorages should be provided at the new column
supports around the perimeter and the disconnected braces
reconnected.
8. The crawl space is open to the exterior. This, together
with the positive drainage away from the lodge, has kept the
floor framing members apparently dry and free of
deterioration. A well ventilated crawl space should be
maintained.
SUMMARY
We must emphasize that the observations included in this letter do
not constitute an exhaustive structural investigation but they do
reveal that the superstructure appears to have experienced no
deterioration and appears to be sound. The superstructure has
performed structurally, withstanding the various loads imposed on
it, since the building was constructed. While isolated foundation
settlement has occurred, no apparent structural distress has
resulted. It is, therefore, my opinion that with the general
recommendations noted above, the foundation settlement that has
occurred can be corrected.
If you have any questions, please call.
Sincerely,

BIG ISLAND VETERPNS CAMP
LAKE MINNETONKA, MINNESOTA
1988 ANNUAL REPORT
Subject: 1988 Annual Report
Greetings from the Big Island Board
The 1988 fiscal year has been a year of accomp "shments for the Big Island
Veterans Camp. As is reflected in the attached report significant mile-
stones were aLtained in a number of areas. Among them:
The removal of a total of 32 of the 43 buildings on the Camp
was completed. These non -conforming structures will be re-
placed with new buildings ove,• the next several years.
Relationships with the City of Orono have been greatly improved
with the Board receiving praise from the City Council and Staff.
The Camp was approved by Orono and was re--ipened f,, day -
camping in July.
Significant fund raising has been accomplished aric the Camp is
in a much improved financial condition.
A reconstruction master plan is under development with building
slated to begin in Spring, 1989.
The dedicated support of a number of veterans and other individuals have
allowed us to turn the corner in re -opening this valuable recreational
asset to use by Minnesota Veterans. Your continuing support is solicited
in assisting us in completing reconstruction in t)e years ahead.
Sincerely,
� ff
�(wCQrn�Lt-�
Alan Wisdorf
Chairman
Big Island Board of Governors
1988 Annual Report
for the fiscal year ended
30 September 1988
In accordance with the provision of Minnesota Statute Chapter 197, the fol-
lowing annual report is submitted concerning the activities of the Big Island
Veterans Camp Board of Governors.
Summary
Extensive demolition, clean-n and renovation activities resulted in the Camp
being re -opened for day camping by veter,ns in July. Planninq and fund rais-
ing fe.- reconstruction of facilities and buildings is well under wall and re-
lations with the City of Orono have improved dramaically.
1988 Accomplishments
1. Camp Re -opening
The Camp was re -opened for day camping on July 10, 1988. The re-dedi-
cition ceremony was attended by over 209 people and included a flag rais-
ing by Charles Lindberg, the sole remaining Iwo Jima flag raising veteran.
The re -opening was the culmination of an intensive clean-up and renovation
activity that brought the Camp into conformance with Orono requirements
and removed all hazardous buildings and conditions. (See attached news
article)
2. Demolition and Clean-up
A total of 32 of the 43 buildings on the Camp property were demolished
and completely buried, burned or hauled away. All 32 building:, were be-
yond economical repair and were considered to be hazardous by the City of
Orono and the Board. The remaining 11 buildings were renovated to approved
standards or secured completely pending renovation. In addition, over 200
yards of debris were t,-ucked across the ice to dumpsters during March. Berg
Nall was buried on -site and extensive clean-up of aeadfalls and stumps was
accomplished.
3. Renovation
Fencing was erected along the Point Charming cliff area and the
Point Charming latrine was renovated to meet appropriate standards.
A new pump was installed in the Camp well and the well head was im-
proved to state standards. The caretaker's cabin was repaired and
Camp equipment was brought into operational status.
4. Camp Manager
A full time year around Camp manager, Mr. Mark Peterson, was hired
in Spring of 1988, and has worked diligently on -site to bring the
Camp to its current operational status. Mr. Peterson resides on the
Island during the summer months and provides fund-raising and support
activities during the winter months. (See attached news article)
5. Financial
The fund raising activities during 1988 were highly successful due ir,
large part to Board Treasurer, Mr. Stuart Gorney. Over $70,000.00 was
raised in 1988 with $30,000.00 denoted for building construction. Do-
nations allowed well impro-ements, a new outboard motor purchase, Camp
manager hiring and financed the entire process leading to Camp re -opening.
We are confident that the financial support shown by various veterans
posts signals a commitment to the continuation of Big Island as a vet-
erans camp. (See attached 1988 Financial Reporc)
6. Legislative
A legislator's tour was held on October 12, 1988. Attendance was
limited because of election campaign activities; however, key personnel
from the House _end Senate Veterans Affairs Committees visited the Camp
and expressed their support for our continuing success. Legislative
priorities have been established by the Board and it is expected that
testimony will be given to both House and renate Committees during the
upcoming 1989 Session.
1. Employee and Vol�inteer Laoor
It is estimated that over 1,185 hours of employee labor and 950 hours
of volunteer labor were expended iq 1988. In addition donations of
equipmt�nt use such as trucks, dumpsters, boats and other items were
approximately $5,.,00.00 in value.
8. Orono Relations
Relations between the Board and the City of Orono have improved
dramatically during 1988. Members of the Board, volunteer per-
sonnel and the Camp manager have worked hard to alleviate Orono
Council and Staff concerns. The Board has been greatly praise6
in Orono Council sessions and we are hopeful jur excellent re-
lationshio will continue during the reconstruction phase.
1989 OBJECTIVES
1. Operational Expansion
The Board expects to expand our current day camping authorization to
include overnight tent camping by Spring, 1989. Most required a:tions
have been completed including a survey of the Camp.
7. Reconstruction
The completion of a phased reconstruction plan that outlines the t)uild-
ing of new picnic and cooking buildings, latrines and handicapped ac-
cessible cabins is slated for JanL-r•y, 1989. The plan will be developed
in concert with Orono officials and will allow incremental rerovation
and recons:ruction as funds become available. we have irterest from
veterans posts in sponsoring buildings and other projects and have es-
crowed S30,000.00 in donations that is earmarked for specific, projects.
3. Promotional Activities
A promotional plan is under development and full color posters have
been printed. We have secured the volunteer support of an adverti-,ing
agency and expect to secure reasonable media coverage in the coming
,year.
In closing, the Big Island Veterans Camp is operational, politically sound
and developing a solid financial base. We remain committed to our charge
as set forth in Minnesota Statute Chapter 197 and solicit your support in
keeping Big Island as a veteran's recreational asset.

BIG ISLAND VETERANS CAMP RE -OPENING
Sunday July 10th. What a
beautiful summer day for the re-
opening of the camp on Lake
Minnetonka, after having been
closed the past fou+ years This
camp was first established in
1920 as a Rest and Recreation
center for the veterans of World
War One. 58 acres of beautiful
woods, picnic areas, and shore-
line to enjoy.
Sunday more than 250 peo-
ple attended a flag raising
ceremony signalling the re-
opening of the camp Allen
Wlesdorf of the American
Legion as Master of ceremonies
spoke of the immediate plans
calling for it's opera' -)n as a day
recreation camp while the prep-
arations are being made to ac-
commndate overnite tent ,amp-
ere. Long range plans include
the construction of handicap -
pod accessible cabins and pic-
nic/cooking shelters as funds
became available. brief
speeches were made by Chuck
Lindberg, Tom Curtis,
and Jerry Cour-
toau prior to the flag raisrngs.
Chuck slid Tom were given the
how of raising the American
and POW -MIA flags as the
signal of re -opening the Camp.
Shortly afterward the group
raiNd a second American flag
a the dock area. All three flags
were donated by the Post. A
beautiful sight to see. All (hree
fA W whipping about in a cool
gentle Lreeze. After the flag
oerenlonies the crowd broke up
to enjoy 'hoar picnic lunches
end a boa ',if afternoon
A great big ''THANKS"
should be given to the media for
their coverage of this very
special event. Channels 4, 5,
11, and 17 each had teams of
reporters and cameramen to
(,over the day's events And
conducting int; rviews of Chuck.,
Tom, and other participants.
Mention should be made that a
contingent of the 385th En-
gineer Croup, Army Reserve
from Fort Snelling was also
there to participate in the event.
Many people commenter+ :in
the newscasts of the ditlert, it
stations. The media's participa-
tion is greatly appreciated by all
the veterans. Events such as
this may help to dispel the out-
dated pubic misconception still
held by some that the Veterans
organizations are little more
!han drinking fraternities. Once
again, THANKS MEDIA for the
coverage.
Time should also be taken to
thank the several boaters who
gave the crop. i such assistance
to get to and from the island
when the paddlewheeler. Lady
of the Lake was unable to take
us to the island. Thanks much.
Oh yes, 0 Post bus was
ticketed on the way home for
having expired license tabs.
Shame on us'.

Crys`al Bay, MN 5532,4
This is a list of what we propose to do to satisfy all 8 of the structural
erg Ineer's recommendatit) ns concerning the main building
kECOMMMENDATION 01:
The walls and 9uperstrc,:ture appear to be in good condition and
capable of performing their Intended function I►ist as they have since
0e lodge was constructed.
ME WILL: No work.
RECOMMENDATION s2
The kitchen skyltKht should be made watertight and the framing around
It checked for de terIoratIon and replace If necessary. It is
important that th►s framing, which is covered by a ce►IInk be aIIowed
to dry out.
ME WILL Remove the skylight and replace the rooling and replace any
rotted rafters or roof boards
REC,OM14ENDATION 03
The porch .rafters that are currently supported on main building false
rafters should be resupported at the main building wall. Since this
may slightly increase the span of these rafters, their adequacy should
be vertfie(i
WE WILL, This recommendation refers to the rafters in the roo& above the
water tank room. We will extend these rafters to proper bearing at the
stud wall. we would like to repair and retain all the existing porches.
RECt406NDAT I ON 84
The column near the well should be .jac#ted up to its proper elevation
and resupported by a concrete pad of sufflcient area.
WE WILL: Raise the column and replace the missing column support with a
footing like the one shown on the attached sketch dated 101114,'88 we will
remove the deterlorated lean-to access door on the north -lde and replace
dirt so rain won't run under the building.
RECOMMENDATION 05:
The exterior column supports should be reviewed -in an individual
basis. Those located at floor depressions and those not supported on
level undisturbed concrete pads should be replace with round or square
concrete: piers extending to frost depth. The need for a spread
footing at frost depth should be investigated. During this
replacement, the structure should be raised so the floor Is level with
the rest of the main floor.
WE WILL: Replace the deteriorated supports as listed below. The new
supports will be built as shown on the attached sketch dated I0/14/88
Replacr supports numbered 1 thru 10 and 22 thru 34 We• w►ll also level
the floor during this process
RECOMMENDATION •6:
The floor beam behind the main porch steps should be r►-p l a(l-d .►1 ong
with Its supports. Again, raising the beam to its groper elevation
should correct the apparent floor and roof depressions.
WE WILL: Replace the beam and supports ano level the building. We'll
also build a new treated wood stoup as shown on the enclosed sketch.
RECOMMENDATION #7:
Hold down anchorages should be provided at the new column supports
around the perimeter and the disconnected braces reconnected.
WE WILL: Install hold downs as shown n- attached sketch dated 10/14/88
and will reconnec► the braces
RECOMMENDATION 88
The crawl space 's open to the, exterior. This, together with t.h
positive drainage away fro■ the lodge, has kept the floor framing
members apparently .icy and free of deterioration. A well ventilated
crawl space should be maintained.
WE WILL: Reinstall the existing chain link fencing around the crawl
space.

There is another topic we would also like to discuss:
Many of our supporters and other citizens would likP 'o preserve the historic
central dining hall. For cost estimating and fundrdising purposes the Vet's
Camp Board could like to know exactly what would be needed to make the
Assembly or Dining hall hospitable. If you want to, we would he happy to meet
}ou sometime either at your office or at the dining hall to discuss what's
needed. We propose the following and are open to your suggestions and
requirements.
A. In order for this b• l ding to remain a type V-N non -rated structure we
must stay with the group A-.' ccupancy. See UBC p.ige 11, table 5-C
In order to stay within a group A-3 occupancy (Assembly room with ai
occupant load of less than 300 people) the assembly room must have less
than 4500 sq. ft. (300 people x 15 s.f. per person). See UBC page 41,
table 5-A and UBC pege 582. table 33-A.
In order to stay under 4500 s.f. we propose to wall off the existing
library as shown on the enclosed plan.
B. We would .oi cuurse, brink the building up to toddy's electrical code.
C. As you can see from the enclosed p-an, the building has excellent door and
window egress directly to the outside wnich would facilitate EXTREMELY
easy and rapid evacuation in case of fire. We would provide smoke
detectors, fire alarm, exit lights and emergency lighting systteee,s as well
as lots of fire extinguishers. We would take all po •ible precoutions to
prevent fire h if a major fire did occur lives would be safe even though
the building would probably be lost.
D. We would:
1. Sheetrock with 5/8' firerock the wails and ceiling In all storave.
office and service arcas.
2. Remove the stairs to the projection room leaving only an attic access
door.
3. Treat the wood walls and ceilings in the assembly area with fire
retardant.

BIG ISLANn VETERANS CAMP
RENOVATION AND RECONSTRUCTION PLAN
lei DECEMBER 1988
c4 � `� a 7✓
Background
The Big Island Veterans Cd• was re -opened for day camping in July, 1988,
after a period of clean-up and renovation. A fiber of the Camp buildings
had ` Jen into disrepai.- and 32 of the 43 buildit,gs in the Carp oroperty
were razed in 1988. The elever, remaining buildings were either renovated,
secured or converted t,) storage use prior to Camp opening in July, 1988.
OI ctive
This document sets forth the planned renovation of existing buildings and
facilities as well as the construction of new buildings and facilities. The
strategy thrnughout our planning activities has been to integrate the follow-
ing characteristics:
1. Project AEZroach
Each of the projects set forth in the plan of e dPfii >cope and
will be initiated sep •ately. While multip e projects roay be und',r
way at a given point in time and may support or rely on each other,
ti focus on approved projects will ensure their timely completion.
Incremental Funding
As funr'ing is made available t) initiate a given project, application
for its initiation will be made to Orono. This attriCute 3;so allows
us to focus on current project completion before rniti-ting other un-
funded projects.
3. Project Priority
Projects are arranged in priority in order to support t'�e planned
evolution of Camp operations.
4. Flexibi l iity
This plan represents our best plan for renovation and reconstruction.
Some level of flexibility in priority and projects will be requiru1
but will be kept tc a minimum.
A_.
OEeration,il Evolution
The renovation and rectnstruction of the Ce p will proceed in t�'lree general

Revtew of Current Application -
The Big Island Veterans' Camp was reopened for day use recreation on
July 10, 1988. The Cit•r issued building permits fLr two picnic shelters
(review Exhibits L & O) in February of this year to complete the proposed
improvements for the Gay use recreation conditional use permit.
The current conditional use permit application will complete the first
phase of the renovation and r-construction plan for the camp. In reviewing
the proposed site plan, the campsites and picnic shelter within the
southeast area (Point Charming) meets the required 40' separation. NFPA,
Standard #224, grounds must be free of all weeds and small undergrowth
brush for a distance of 100' around the entire over -night campsite.
The present latrines that serve the day use recreation area located
within the southeast area and the northeast area of the facility will also
serve the overnight camp use. It may be appropriate at this time to
designate the latrine at the southeast area of the property for overnight
camp use only allowing tLe Peanut Row facility in the northeast area to
remain for day use recreation. The City will accept the Department of
Health's final recommendation concerning the required number of fixtures in
each latrine to serve the additional 30 camp site urers. This may be the
appropriate time to expand upon the existing latrine within the lout.east
area. One male and one female sty.,.: ar facility does nut seem aaequatcfor
30 camp; sites. The areas of the assumed drainfield sites will be closely
watched this season to determine if there is failure. Staff has never been
able to determine the capacity or capability of the two existing systems
for accepting the sewage. Applicant is advised that any further
intensification of ube of the facility will require upgrading of existing
septic facilities.
All of the improvements required by the City with t.►,-, conditional use
permit for day %ise recreation shall continue to be maintained with the
overnight camp:.ng use. Applicant?. should be adv;.sed to include in this
condit.lranal use permit any other structures projc:sed fur the facility this
year, i.e. latrines jr picnic shelters.
Zoning File #1385
March 16, 1989
Page 3 of 5
In review of the renovation and reconstruction plans for the facility,
applicants must be advised that future cabin construction will require a
separate conditional use permit review. If kitchen and bathrooms are
planned within each of the cabins, a shared collector/septic trainfield
area will be required. The conditional use permit will require septic
testing and separate permit review by the State PCA. Applicant is also
advised to re-evaluate the location of the proposed future cabin sites, if
these future cabins are to be accessible to the handicapped and be located
so that they are near the shared drainfield system. The permanent campsite
located 40' from the latrine and picnic shelter in the southeast area
should be relocated further away because of the heavy use of these
facilities. This is a suggestion as 40' standard has been met.
In review of Exhibit M, the site plan of r campsite, staff would note
that all individual fire rings will be subject to NFPA and State Fire Code
standards, and the Orono Fire Inspector. In periods of extreme drought,
the City will continue to restrict open burning. It may be necessary to
add another fi.e station at the new picnic shelter site in the day use
recreation area (Playground and Dock area). This will be determined by the
Orono Fire Inspector.
Ortione of Action Available to the Planning Commission -
1. If Planning Commission denies t e conditional use permit for overnight
camping, please refer to the necessary findings in Section 10.09,
Subdivision 2.
2. Approval of a conditional use permit for overnight campine, limited to
30 camp sites shown on a plan by Schoell i Madson, Inc. and included
with this memo as Exhibit 0, subject to the following conditions:
A. Prior to opening the o-.rernight camp use to the public, the
Orono staff must inspect the facility to insure the following
improvements have been completed:
i. All low lying shrubs and weeds to be trimood within 100'
of the defined campsite area, area to be maintained in same
manner throughout camping reason.

B. Applicant to provide an updated sits E.1an wing jt11 new
improvements and existing improvements, i.e. _ire station,
latrine areas, signage, lighting, fencing. This plan must be
submitted r to the Council's approval of the conditional use

C. I7 applicant proposes additional construction of picnic
o.lelters or latrines for the 1989 season, this should tie included
with the current conditional use permit application. Applicant
to advise.
D. 1999 Joint Uso Dock License by the City of Orono and the LMCD
prior co opening of the camp. Applicant to submit an updated
dock plan if boat density is to be increased in 1989 season.
/f applicant is hereby advised that if at a future time a
:litional aee permit is applied for to permit the construction
of seasonal cabins (handicapped accessible) and if these cabins
are to include bathrooms and kitchen areas, that the City will
require septic tent information for the installation of a joint
collector system. Such collector system will require a permit
review by the PCA. Applicr .t is hereby advised that all cabin
construction will be subject to the controls set forth in Section
10.31, Subdivision 11, Building Construction Standards, of the
Orono Zoning Code.

Additional Comments and Planning Com i.ssion Recossiendation -
April 4, 1969
Staff advised both Planning Commission and applicant that staff would
be inspecting the isl-nd facility at regular intervals to insure against
any septic failure due to an overburdeninq of the existing facilities.
Staff has no accurate knowledge as to the peptic capabilities and whether
it can aappoit_ the increased use created by the overnight camping. The
Flarnina Commission had really no major questions to ask of the Applicant
but were pleased to hear of the good resu' `s from the opening of the camp
for day use recreation last year. Planni�,,4 Commission c--ncurred that the
key to the success of the overnight camping would be the close supervisir,n
by the inspection staff in assisting the applicant. The enclosed
resolution has been drafted per the approval recommendation of the Plann4.rg
Commission.

matter out as long as possible and had been able to achieve an
additional 3 year's use out of the detached garage. Goetten said
that the Council alwayE tried to do their best t) compromise with
property owners seeking variances. She said that lakeshore
property wls a bit more difficult to deal with. Goetten said
that removing the garage was part of the compromise ar' she could
see no hardship for allowing the garage to remain. She said that
the Fesolution clearly stated what needed to be done.
It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded Ly Mayor
Grabek, to conceptually deny the variance for the detached garage
and request staff to prepare the appropriate resolution for
denial.. Counci.lmember Goetten asked that a specific deadline be
determined as to when the garage and remaining hardcover must be
removed. It was agreed by the Council and staff that 90 days
would be an appropriate time frame. Motion, Ayes=4, Nays=O,
Motion passed.

Lillian bonandei was present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained, Mrs. Bonander wa3
seeking an average lakeshore setback variance and hardcover
variance in order to reconstruct a deck. Even though the deck
will extend 7' beyond the average lakeshore setback line, it will
not have any negative impact on adjacent property owners.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth informed the Courizil tha, the
new deck will meet the 10' side setback, the old deck did not.
Mayor Grabek questioned whether there had been any concerns
expressed Ly Mrs. Bonander's neighbors? Mabusth replied that the
only communication received from neighbors was positive and
encouraged the project tQ eliminate what hr.d become an eyesore.
It was moved by Mayor Gra:,ek, seconded by Cauncilmember
Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2612, approving the average
lakeshore setback variance and hardcover varitnee requested by
Mr*. Lillian Bonander. Motion, Ayes-4, Nays•0, Motion passed.

was present for this matter.
City Administrator Bernhardaon stated that this matter
involved a request for a continuation of a conditional use permit
previously approved, with the addition of allowing 30 overnight
camp sites. One issue of this current rev;ew is whether the
latrine facilities within the South Hall Lavatory will be
sufficient to handle 30 camp bite users. The major question

for the present applicant involves the c ;pacity of the currsnt
septic systems to serve the more intensified use.
Mr. Sharpe had no questions concerning the application, but
informed the Council that Alan wisdorf was now the Chairman of
the Board of Governors.
It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, secondel by
Councilmember Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2613, approvinc the
conditional use permit required for proposed overnight camping.

i1386 CLIFFORD OTTE'N
OUTLOT A, RINGERSWOOD
REZONING
Mr. Clifford Otten was present for this matter, as was Mr.
Robert LaFavor.
City Admin;s`__rator Bernhardson explained that Mr. Otten was
requesting the rezoning of Outlot A, Ringerswood. Mr. Otten's
original application asked that his proposed garden center be
zoned B-1.. .iie property is located within the Highway 12
Corridor and the B-1 zoning was not recommended for the Highway
12 area. A B-6 zoning would be compatible with Highway 12
Corridor zoninq, however, it does not list a garden center as a
permitted use. The planned Development Ordinance would be the
most appropriate zoning for Mr. Otten's intended use. The
Planning Commission had recommended denial of the B-1 rezoning
and that Mr. Otten apply for rezoning under the Planr?d
Development Ordinance. Bernhardson noted out the process for
obtaining B-1 zoning would be more lengthy than that required for
the Planned Development zoning.
Mr. LaFavar showed the Council the plan intended for the
garde- center/landscape service! operation.
Mr. Otten said that if the Council. felt that the garden
center wa, an acceptable use for the Highway 12 Corridor, he
would be agreeable to a PUD with a B-6 underlying. He said that
he would have difficulty dealing with a mortgage company if the
KJO had an underlying residt tial use.
Mayes Grabek questioned whether there would be any problem
that staff coulc' foresee with Mr. Otten's zoning proposal?
Bernhardson replied that the garden center would actually be a
mixed use and should the H-6 zoning be used, it would a1low
for more intensified retail business in the future. The PUD
would offer mere control over any other use should Mr. Otten ever
sell the garden center.
Councilaember Goetten observed that the Planned Development
Ordinance was scheduled for action at the next council meeting
and Questioned whether Mr. Otten could wait 2 more weeks. She
concurred with Bernhardson about the need to control future uses

Foreword
This publication has been prepared as a ;. uide for of
ficers of fire agen ies for the enactment of necessary
regulations. It will also serve to acnt)aint home owners,
resort owners, and :•hers with cr itai.l good practices to
prevent structural fires in fores, areas and damage to
valuable timberland and .vatershed ateas.
Throughout the United States and Canada, in forest
areas, perm.tnent homes, cabins, summer c2rnps, and
resorts are being built in increasing numbers. The crowd-
ing of cities has increased the desire fi, country living and
each year more people are enjoying the beauty and nartt•
ral variety of forest lands.
This migration to the forests and watershed areas
brings a year round fire prevention problem. During the
sumt.ier seasmi, particularly, fuel and weather conditions
unite to produce the most hazardous fire situation.
When a fire does get &tatted in forest areas it is quite
different from the cite fire, where discovery and response
usually entail short travel time. Urban fire departments
can reach the scene of a fire quickly with adequate equip-
ment, manpower, and water supplies so that they can, in
most instances, extinguish a blaze promptly. Such is
seldom the case in forest areas. The light construction of
many homes, the flammable cover growth adjacent to the
site, the relative inaccessibility to fire fighting apparatus,

Once a building fire gains headway, total destruction
usually results, with the. added danger that flying brands
may start a fast-sp.eading forest fire or ignite other near-
by structures.
Since the danger also exists that a forest fire may in-
vade the residential area, certain precautions are neces-
sary to protect these structures. Therefore, it is essential

Chapter 1 Introduction
1-1• Scope. This standard contains fire protection re-
quiremrnts for homes, cottages, camps, multiple cx-
cupancies, and tracts or subdivisions of mobile homes or
recreational vehicles in forest areas where indoor (,r out-
door fires may endanger life or property.
1-2 Purpose. This publication is intended to serve as a
standard for officers of fire control agencies. It can serve
as a basis for regulations in areas not otherwise covered by
organized fire protection ss a practical advisory
guide for property owners 1r .t areas It will also serve
to acquaint home owners owners, transients, and
other forest area owners specific good practices to
prevent structural fires and ,Ave life in forest arc as and
prevent or minimize damage to valuable timberland,
grazing land and watershed areas.
1-3 General. When a fire does get started in forest
areas it is quite diffe—nit from the city fire, where
discovery and response usually entail short travel time.
Urban fire .irpartinents can reach -he scene of a fire
quickly Witt, ad yyuate equipment, manpower, and water
supplies so thatcttt-y can, in most instances, extinguish a
blazr promptly. Such is seldom the case in forest areas.
The light construction of manv homes, framed canvas
(plastid tents. the flammable cover growth adjacent to
the site, the relative inaccessibility to fire fighting ap
paratus, and lack of water supplies create a difficult con
dition. Onr. a budding fire gams headway, total destruc-
tion usually results, with the added danger that flying
brands may start a fast spreading forest fire or ignite
rather nearby structures
Since the danger also exists that a forest fire may in
vade the residential area, certain precaut:ons are neces
sary to protect these structures. Therefore. it is essential
that uniform standards and prevention measures he
adopted

familiar with actiom to be taken in a fire emergency, the
name and location of the nearest fire warden, and means
of notification. Camp occupants shoulA be able to give
accurate directions to fnrestry or fire department person
nel on how to locate the camp property. Directions
should be posted next to the telepho-,e sec visitors can read
them before or at the time of a fire emergency
}
A-2 4.1 In a community of dwellings. cottages, or camp
sites, a signal to alert other property owners immediately
on discovery of a fire is essential. A distinctive signal
(siren, air horn, or bell) should be centrally available for
this purpose. This does not replace the need to notify the
nearest organised fire department or forest agency irn
mediately by telephone or other alarm methods.
A-2-4.2 A variety of fire detectors are available for
Mines, cottages, resort buildings and other structures.
llww can sound an alarm inside and outside a building
and may be connected to a telephone or other circuit for
notifying the nearest forest agency or fire department.
Fire detectors should be tested and listed by a test;ng
laboratory. ('See NFPA 74, Household Fire Warning
Egasprnewt . )
A-3-1 National and regional buile'irg codes will be
helpful to peons who want to build new structures in
forested areas. In addition, a number of NFPA codes and
standards concerning fire protection are available for use
in constructing such propert►es including the following,
NFPA $0. Flammable ind Combtasobie l.zgrwds Code

A-3-1.1 If the building rests on Supports with an open
s})ace beneath, screen all such open spa- es or areas under
(locus to prevent the accumulation of leaves, litter and
other materials Subtect to fire. Do not store combustibles
in these spaces. Maintain at least 4 in.'10.2 cm) between
wood and the ground to provide adeyudic• ventilation and
prevent rotting of the wood which could result in a fire
hazardous condition.
If the building has a basement or cellar. provide sufft
dent headroom for the safe installation of heating equip-
ment. Noncombustible or fire resistant materials are
recommended for ceilings and walls near heating equip-
ment to minimize the passibility of fire spread. Screen
roof and gable vents to prevent sparks from entering the
building.
A-3-2.1 Install firestopping in the studding of all com-
bustible wall and concealed ceiling spaces to prevent the
unhampered spread of fire in such areas. Fire -topping
consists of using wooden blocks, or noncombustible
material supported on metal strips to block all openings
or passages in walls and floors tightly to prevent the
passage of smol-e and hot gases. This may be done at
moderate cost in new buildings. In old buildings it may
be costly and impractical to provide complete firestop
ping. Blocking, however, should at least be installed at
the walls .retween the first floor joists.
Build a trap door or scuttle hole and provide a ladder
for access to attic spacer. Provide a door or other means
of access to the space beneath the building.
A-3-3.2 Locking devices should not be used which
would impede or Prohibi• escape from fire, sucit as chain
type bolts, limited opening sliding type locks and burglar
IecL which cannot be easily disengaged 1`r quick -
releasing catches.
A-3-3.5 Every family should practice fire exit drills in
homes or camps. The procedures are srm le and easy to
learn but become very important in a fne emergency.

A-3-3.6 Windows may serve as a meats of mape, par-
ticularly where ladders can be salted by fire fighters or
others. Even where the ftc-ation is not favorable f n
esc-ape, the window opening may provide air for
breathin�g in a smoke -filled building where occupants are
waiting for rescue.
A-3-4 Combustible materials used on the interior of the
building may be treated with a fire retardant coating or
impregnation to improyr the fire resistance cif such
materials. To be adequate. such treatment must have a
degree of permanen<y and be applied properly to pPro-
duoe the requited resistance to fire (See NFPA 70). Fire

under fire exposure. Noncombustible type of finish
materials (e.g., metal lath and plaster: gypsum board
and cement asbestos board, etc.) are satisfactory for in.
terior finish. Plywoods which delaminate under heat or
moisture are undesirable. Plywoo ds with component plies
glurf with phenolic resin.: are recommended
A-3-5 Clean gutters and the roof of needles and leaf ac
cumulations.
A-3-6.1.4 The "mesh" of woven wire is the nuinber of
openings in 1 in. (2.54 cm) measured from the center of a
wire to a Imint 1 in. (2.54 cm) distant. The mesh of ex
panded metal is the smallei of two dimensions of the dia-
mond shaped openings.
A-4-1.1 Electrical installation for dwellings should be
inspected and approved by an authority having jurisdic-
tion, such as an electrical i-spector.
Here are some things t ' rck to assure that electrical
installations are complete property.
(a) Make certain that fuses or circuit breakers of the
correct capacity are used for the electrical circuits. If the
fuse or circuit breaker is of the incorrect capacity, then
electrical overload of the circuit may cause overheating of
the wiring and breakdown of the insulation, with fire
resulting.
(b) All wiring should be fastened securely to recep-
tacles and fixtures. Frayed or loosely connected wiring
can result in arcing and shock hazards.
(c) Fuse and circuit breaker panelboards should be
located in a dry area in that the danger from moisture
will be minimised. All metal enclosures and other
noncurrent carrying metal parts should be effectively
fly -wed
(d) Modern approved cables with a grounding wire or
metallic enclosure properly grounded during installation
should be use#t. Only grounding tvpe outlets should be
installed on such circuits.

(e) Since a gr*at deal of the tAder type ek[trical cis
cutts wtthout a grounding shire are still to use, particular
attention must tie Riven to other methods of propt-rly
grounding modern electrical appliances on such circuits,
such as b) clamping a grounding wire to a metal ground-
ed cold water pipe.
(f) Service drops between the service pole ane
weather head are a source of fire ignition and int t
Lions must be made carefully to minirni; the danger. All
splices and connections in the service- drop -#ire between
the service pole (transformer) and weather -head must be
made with proper connectors. Generally, this type of in-
stallation is made bs power utility companies.
(g) A drop cord or lamp holder is built to carry safely
only the current demanded by a lamp bulb and will
overheat when used for appliances drawing more current.
(h) Discard appliances that du not bear the label of a
recognized testing laboratory. The label or listing st,ould
be for the enure appliance or other arse nbh and not just
for the cord alone.
A4-1.4 Outdoor electrical receptacles are protected
against weather by weatherproof covers. Always be
careful io have dry hands and to be standing in a dry area
when inserting or removing a connection from a live elec-
trical circuit.
A44.5 Electrical circuits, tools and appliances are
grounded to minimize shock hazard. this is partizularly
important whets persons are using power tools outdoors
and may be standing on wet grass, sail, or other moist
surface. Make certain that the tool or appliance is
grounded properly or double insulated.
(a) Never allow curtains, draperies and similar flam-
mable or combustible fabrics, plastics, or paper products
close to electric lamp bulbs.
(b) Restrict extension cords to their proper use, such
cords should not be tun through walls, windows or doors
or under carpets or be used for permanent wiring.
(c) Replace frayed, worn or spliced or taped cords im
mediately. Repairing of cords may result in additional
hazards.
(d) Disconnect all appliances such as toasters, portable
space heaters, coffee pots, or hair dryers ar.d pressing
irons when not in use.
(e) Extensiom 'o permanent wiring often create
serious tlectrical fire hazards because of improper joints
and splices and the use of lamp cord as extension
material.
(f) When certain parts of electrical equipment or ap
planes are found to be wearing out, or about to break
down, "&mine the entire appliance carefully for other
possible faults.

trolled draft wood burning %to, es. Dampers and chimne,
unnectors should be kept in good repair. (See NFPA
211, ::himneys, Fireplaces and Vents, Chapter 3.)
A-5-1.4.1 Fireplace openings should be equipped with
small -mesh screens, or transparent fire -resistive panels to
cover the full width of the opening. Extinguish fireplace
fires aefore leaving the premises.
A-8-3.1 The use of outdoor barbecues is continuing to
increase rapidly, and portable and stationary barbecues
cause many serious fires. Such cooking devices should be
used in accordance with fire permit requirements of the
local fire chief, forest fire warden, or other responsible
at .itority. Baru ci!rs should not be used in times of severe
fire weather. Ashes and unburned material from barbe•
cues should be confined and disposed of 'n the same man
ner as ashes from stoves. Use only approved barbecue fire
starters and ,tat^ with caution. Many people have been
seriously injured when "speeding up" a barbecue with
volatile liquid fuels. Do not use barbecues inside.
A-5,4.1 Special cz re should be taken in the placing of
kerosene stove. and heaters to avoid contact with com-
bustible materials, including draperies, to avoid acciden
tal overturning, and to avoid blocking of exit routes in
event of malfunction. Fabrics must not be placed on
stoves for drying. Portable pressurized liquid fuel camp
stoves should be filled, pumped up and started outside

A-3 Before doing anv burning nutdoors obtain a permit
if required by !ocal fire authority. Follow the instructions
as to rIcarance, tirne and necessary tools to have
available. (See NFPA 82, Standard on Incinerators,
Waste and Linen Handling Systems and Equipment,
Chapters 2 and 3.) Air pollution authotities may also re-
quire a permit. Do not burn during windy or dry
weather. Burn brush in small o uantities. Large piles,
when ignited, increase chance of fire escape. Have fire
fighting equipment on hand and never leave the fire un-
attended. After the brush is burned, patrol the area con-
••-ntly until you are certain that the fire is out.
h-4 Fundamental Fire Fighting Equipment.
B-4.1 Where water hose outlets arc available, have suf
fici nt garden hose or other types of hose to reach any
part of the structure f i garden hose outlets and equip
the hose with an adjust , nozzle; 100 ft (30.5 m) of horse
is the desired minitnurn and should be racked near or
kept connected to at least one outside outlet.
B4.2 Keep a substantial ladder readily accessible. It
should be of sufficient length to reach the roof ridge.
B-4.3 Certain tools and equipment are necessary for ex.
tinguishmew of fires. Consult vour loci) forestry agent
for the kind most suitable for .our locality and keep such
items available for prompt use.
B-4.4 Manv protection agencies will provide a special
container with emergency fire fighting tools for a remote
community. Check with vour local authority to see if this
service is available. Volunteer to provide the necessary
custody for the equipment.
B-5 Portable Fire Extinguishers.
B-S.1 Portable fire extinguishers are good emergency
fire fighting equipment when used properly on the type
and size of fire for which they are designed. U.se only
those extinguishers which have passed the tests of na-
tionally recognized laboratories.
(For detailed information ors portable fire ex-
tinguishers, we NFPA 10, Portable Fire Extinguishers.)
Questions about size, number. or kinds of extinguishers
should be directed to the local fire chief, lire marshal, or
forest fire warden.
B-5.1.1 For fires involving trash, paper. cloth, wood or
other ordinary combustibles. use a pressurized water,
pump tank, loaded stream, or multi porpoise ex-
tinguisher.
9-5.1.2 For fires in flammable liquids such as gasoline,
oil. grease, tar and paint. use a carbon dioxide, dry
chemical Haion, loaded stream. or foam extinguisher.
111-5.1.3 For fires in electrical equipment such as lamps.
motor fuse panels and switchboards, use a nonconduct-
ing extinguishing agent such as carbon dioxide, Halon,
or dry chemical. I:14r not use soda acid, foam or tither
water -type extinguishers until the eMctric power has flier
shut off.

B-6 Evacuation Plans and Router.
B-6.1 persons who reside in camps, cottages, resorts,
trailers, and other building- ;n forest areas should have at
least two ways of escape to a safe location. Communities
located in forested areas with limited means of escape
should be constantly alert to the danger that regular
routes of travel may be cut off by a forest fire. This
danger may exist for a single building, a group of cot-
tages. or a well-establist.ed community. Even though the
means of exit may be not affected, adjacent fires can
move in quickly. necessitating very rapid partial or com-
plete evacuation of the location.
B-6.1.1 To assure a safe and ordeily evacuation, de
tailed plans prepared well in advance are necessary.
B-6.1.4 Formulation of the plan is essentially a commun
ity effort including alternate escape routes.
B-6.1.3 The organization heading the project might
consist of a chairperson or director, under whose direc-
tion would be several committees, each responsible for
such items as communications, transportation, accom-
modation and supply. medical and police work.
B-6.1.4 Plans would be developed for each of the above
topics with complete details of the actions to be taken in
an emergency.
B-7 Forest Land Users.
B-7.1 When required, register with proper forest or fire
official upon entering forested areas.
B-7.1.1 Secure campfire permits where required.
B-7.1.2 Get acquainted with the local fire authority
and find out how to get in touch kith him quickly in case
of fire trouble.
3-7.1.3 Extinguish all open fires upon retiring or
before leaving a camp site.
B-7,7 Equip vehicles with fire• fighting tools as required
by state or local law.
B-7.2.1 Equip internal combtation engines with spark
arresters if required by state law.
B-7.3 Be familiar with and observe regulations on
smoking and campfire building - sit down to stroke and
extinguish smoking materials before leaving the area.
8-7.3.1 Be an alert, good '-housekeeper" in the woods
Prao.ttcice fire prevention at all tirnest
11-1.3.2 Do not d»ehatg� fireworks in foreved areas:
they are a fire hazard and generally prohibited.
5-7.4 Occupants should conform to fire safety regula
tiom for dwellir�s with respect to clearance of hazardous
material, tear of flarnmabpe liquids and daces. inuallation
of approved types of fire-xtinguishers, and early warning
devices.
B-8 Rtporting Fires or Violations.
Upon entering a forested area, learn how and where to
report fires. if one is discovered, report it immediately.
Careless campers are a cause of fires in forested areas.
Fires result in great loss to recreation areas, valuable
timber and watershed lands. It is therefore of the utmost
importance that campers recognize and appreciate their
responsibility in preventing fires.
B-8.1 Making Camp.
Use a prepared camp site, preferably where fireplaces
or stoves are provided and vegetativ, hazard has been
cleared away.
Where it is permissible to prepare a camp site, follow
these rules:
B-8.1.1 Before building an open fire, scrape away all
flammable material down to mineral soil for at least five
feet on all sides. Don't confuse duff (decayed vegetable
matter) with mineral soil -- duff is combustible. Line
with rock.
B-8.1.2 Dig a small pit and keep the fire small. Never
build it against trees, logs, stumps or near brush.
B-8.1.3 Be sure pipe ashes, cigars or cigarette stubs are
"dead out," then dispose of them in ash trays, mineral soil
or water.
B-8.1.4 Select an area near a source- of water, if possi-
ble.
B-8.2 Leaving Camp.
Never leave camp until your fire is 'dead out."
Saturate ashes and coals with water, stir thoroughly until
ashes are cold to the touch. If you do not have sufficient
water, stir or chop mineral soil into ashes and coals. Con-
tinue !his until coals are "dead out." Check by feeling
them with bare hands.
