ORONO BUILDING CODE BOARD OF APPEALS
June 251997
2180 NORTH SHORE DRIVE -OLD HILL SCHOOL
The owner of the building at 2180 North Shore Drive in Orono is requesting a hearing before the
board of appeals. He has an occupant that is proposing to use the building for a private school for
children. The city is considering the new use as a change of occupancy. The building code requires
that a building must meet building code requirements for the new occupancy. The following is a
history of the occupancies of the building. .
18??to 1971 Building used as Public School
C-1 Occu�ancv Classification-Any building used for educational purposes
� through the 12th grade by 50 or more persons for more than 12 hours per
week or 4 hours in any day(e�ibit A)
1971 to 1989 Building owned by Minnetonka Art Center
F-2 Occu�anc,y Classification - Buildings or portions of buildings having
rooms used for educational purposes, beyond the 12th grade with less than
50 occupants in any room(exhibit B) Building permits were issued and they
remodeled the building to bring it into compliance for occupancy change
(exhibits B 1 to B 19).
1989 to 1994 Building used as a Residential Day Care.
R-3 Classification-Dwellings and Lodging Houses (exhibit C) .
1994 to 1997 Building bought on contract for deed by Atelier LeSueur Inc. for use as a
Fine Arts SchooL
B-2 Occupanc�Classification - Buildings or portions of buildings having
rooms used for educational purposes beyond the 12th grade with less than 50
occupants in any room. Owners moved in without City's knowledge. The
City attempted to get code compliance to allow the occupants to remain in the
building. Their azchitect proposed it as a B-2 occupancy and the City
classified it as a B-2 occupancy. Atelier LeSueur subsequently moved out
prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy(exhibit D).
1997 The building is now proposed to be used as a private school for children.
E-1 Classification-Any building used for educational purposes through the .
12th grade by less than 50 persons for more than 12 hours per week or 4
hours in one day(exhibit E). .
The City's position is that Atelier LeSueur was a B-2 occupancy and the proposed use is an E-1
occupancy. Per the Uniform Building Code Section 3405 (e�chibit F), when an occupancy
classification changes,the building is required to comply with the requirements of the code for the
proposed new occupancy. '
. ,
, ._. �
The applicants have presented two azguxnents. They are as follows as I understand them:
1) The classification didn't change when Atelier LeSueur occupied the building because
they were not issued a certificate of occupancy.
The City's position is that Atelier LeSueur's architect proposed it as a B-2 occupancy. .
The City classified it as a B-2 occupancy, and it was occupied for over two years as
a B-2 occupancy. The building has been through three occupancy changes since it
was used as an elementary school. To revert back to the original use that last e�sted
prior to 1971 with out updating the building to meet code requirements is in violation
of the building code.
2) The building should not have been classified as a B-2 occupancy when Atelier
LeSueur occupied the building because it was not just adults in the building but
' children alsa
The City's position is that it would have been classified as a B-2 regardless if there
were children enrolled with the adults or not,because it was not all children full time.
The Board's role in this matter is to decide if there is a change of occupancy with the proposed ,
private school use. It is not the role of the Board to decide if code requirements involved with the
change of use are valid or not. See exhibit G for Building code board of appeals authority and
limita.tions.

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
Grace asked if the use was considered B-2 or F-2. Bellows responded the point is that it is not E-1.
She noted in one part of the code,the building official could determine the occupancy,but in another
place, a certificate of occupancy was required.
Kohnen stated that he believed F-2 was the correct classification. Mr. Olson made that
determination and intended to issue a certificate of occupancy.
Roelofs stated the building can be characterized by its current use by the authority of the building
official. The sprinkler system then becomes an issue. He had a problem with the statement that if
it remains with the original usage, nothing needs to be done. He stated there is definitely a
difference in the character of the way it is used,and therefore should be brought up to code. At the
same time, he would sympathize with the owner regarding the sprinkler system. Because of the
discrepancy in the past use,it would be justifiable to reclassify the building for today's use and move
forward.
Rye commented that there are opportunities to preserve the building and look for ways to collaborate
with the City for educational purposes.
Erickson stated classes were supposed to begin: Schneider has not received any income for 6 months
or more. The Environmental School has some things to do but they need to sub-lease. They were
supposed to start on the 23rd. Bellows noted there were children in the building that day doing art.
Oman was unaware of the use.
Roelofs asked how they could move into the School without a certificate of occupancy. Erickson
responded they were told by the City they could move into the building and hold open houses.
Oman responded that the Council had overstepped their bounds in allowing its use. Kohnen noted
the only reason for having a building official is to watch out for the health and safety of the public.
The code was not developed to consider economics.
Bellows noted income was derived from the Kid's Art Studio. Erickson stated the Environmental
School would be paying as well as soon as they are in. They planned to start some tutoring and
summer school classes but that had to be put on hold.
A parent of the school stated they don't have a couple month to wait for a decision as they must plan
for teachers and a place for the school.
Kohnen moved,Bellows seconded,to reaffirm Lyle Oman's change in occupancy classification from
B-2 or F-2.
Erickson asked if the decision could be tabled.

Dear Mr. Schneider:
The findings of the Orono Building Code Board of Appeals were that the proposed school use was
a change of occupancy and that the building would be required to be brought into compliance for
an E occupancy. The Board indicated that the building was last closest to an F-2 occupancy. The
F-2 classification would allow an education use beyond the 12th grade with less than 50 occupants
in any room and educational use through the 12th grade for less than 12 hours per week or four hours
in any one day.
The enclosed memo from Van Erickson, dated July 15, 1997, indicates a use beyond the F-2
classification. The City must require you to limit the use to the F-2 classification immediately and
to bring the building into full compliance for the F-2 classification so that the City may issue a
certificate of occupancy. A plan for completion of the work to comply with the F-2 classification
must be submitted before July 28, 1997.
On July 21, 1997, the City will begin monitoring the building's usage for compliance with the F-2
classification. If the deadline for submittal is not met, or if the building is not used in compliance
with the F-2 occupancy, the City will initiate legal action.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at my office.
Sincerely,
�-� ��f/�-

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
ROLL
The Orono Board of Appeals met on the above date with the following members serving on the
Board: Maureen Bellows, Loren Kohnen and Ken Roelofs. 'The following represented City staff:
Building Official Lyle Oman, Public Services Director Greg Gappa and Recorder Lin Vee. The
meeting was called to order by Building Official Lyle Oman at 5:03 p.m.
Oman explained that the applicant is appealing the City's position that the proposed private school
use is a change in occupancy classification from B-2 to E-1. The new use and change in
classification requires compliance with the current Building Code. He noted the building has always
been used as a school but under different occupancy classifications. The proposed use would bring
it back to an E-1 classification,possibly E-2, depending on the number of people in the building.
Bellows asked if the matter had been before Council. Oman responded that Council had approved
an amended conditional use permit.
The applicant,Martin Schneider,explained his position and views of the issue. When the occupancy
issue was before the Planning Commission,they referred it to Council. When Council approved the
CUP,they suggested the Board of Appeals would be the proper authority to deternune the occupancy �
classification.
Schneider referred to the packets of information presented to the Board members. He believes the
Old Hill School has always been an E-1 occupancy and has never changed. Three criteria will be
satisfied to support his position:
1. City documents.
2. Facts of the actual use.
3. Code.
He has owned the building since 1989 with the following occupants in the building:
1989-1990 - Leased to Art Center of Minnetonka
1990-1993 - Leased to Kid's Art Studio and American Dance Center
1993-1994 -Leased to Atelier LeSueur Art School
1994-1996 - Owned by Atelier LeSueur Art School under Contract for Deed
1997 - Default on Contract for Deed by Atelier LeSueur and building reverted to
Schneider's ownership
He noted Oman's chronology of occupancy differed in 1989-1994, listing the use as a Residential
Day Care.
1
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
Schneider referred to the resolutions granting a conditional use permit in 1994 and 1997. Page 2 of
Document#1, 5-9-94 (Resolution No. 3424)confirms his chronology of use.
"6. ...the Art Center of Minnesota leased the facility from the new owner for ...
continuing use of the facility for art...
7. From the later part of 1990 through the present,the facility has served as a licensed
day care and a dance school."
Schneider stated he would show that the building was not used as a licensed day care but that there
were children at the dance school.
Document #2, 5-27-92 (Resolution No. 3908) reaffirms the chronology and states the facility has
never been used as a residential dwelling.
Schneider continued with occupancy issues and his Agenda WORKING FROM PRESENT TO
PAST to support his position that the Hill School has always been an E-1 occupancy and the
occupancy classification never changed.
1. ATELIER LESUEUR NEVER REQUESTED NOR OCCUPIED BUILDING AS
B-2 (CITY PRESENTED TO CODE BOARD AS B-2??)
DOCUMENTS #3 AND #4 �
- Document#3,a memo from Lyle Oman and Bruce Vang to Jeanne Mabusth
dated April 18, 1994, states "The new use is classified as a B-2 occupancy
which is different than the previous school use(an E occupancy)and the day
care use (an R occupancy)."
A letter from the architect,Jennifer Yoos,dated June 13, 1997 indicates that
discussions held with Oman always included children and they never made
the request to change the building occupancy to a B-2 classification.
- In a letter dated November 8, 1994 from Jennifer Yoos to Atelier LeSueur,
she indicates a"preliminary study" suggested B-2 occupancy. This study was
done in response to a City request. However, in April of the same year the
City had already classified the use as B-2.
- Schneider was still the owner and was never contacted about how the
building was being used.
- In August of 1995, Oman responds to Atelier LeSueur noting a preliminary
� review had been done.
2
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
- In a letter dated March 14, 1996, Oman states, "One of the conditions for
approval was to comply with building code items related to the change in
occupancy classification."
Schneider stated his point in presenting these documents was to show the occupancy
classification was still in ongoing negotiation stages.
- Schneider referred to Document#4,a letter from Todd Mohagen,an architect
at Mohagen Architects, Ltd. indicating there had never been a certificate of
occupancy issued for a change in use,therefore,the Old Hill Schools would
be an E occupancy.
- In a letter dated June 13, 1997, Architect Russell Salon stated he had
participated in adult classes and was on the Board of Directors for Atelier
LeSueur. He had observed children's illustration classes being taught on a
full-time basis.
- The chief instructor for the children's art classes at Atelier LeSueur was Kim
Alleman-Beaty. She states that children's classes were held week nights from
4:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. (3-5 evenings a week), Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. -4:00
p.m. and a summer program from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. daily.
Schneider noted the threshold for E occupancy is 12 hours or more a week or 4 hours
in one day for children under the 12th grade.
- Another past instructor, Mike Coyle, states in a letter dated June 16, 1997
that "these classes used the building in excess of 12 hours per week during
the fall of 1993 to the fall of 1996."
- In a letter dated June 18, 1997,past Board Member Patricia Allar states that
"during the period of occupancy at the Old School House in Orono children's
classes were being offered on a full time basis."
- Marcia Haggerty,a teacher and student from 1980-1988, states "There were
always children's classes going on every year at the Ateliers where Annette
LeSueur oversaw and/or taught classes."
Schneider reiterated that previous documents have shown the B-2 classification was
proposed by the City, not the architect.
3
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
The goal of Document #4 was to demonstrate that the actual occupancy of the
building would fall under an E-2 occupancy.
2. KID'S ART STUDIO/AMERICAN DANCE WAS NEVER LICENSED DAY
CARE OR DAY CARE (CITY PRESENT TO CODE BOARD AS R-3?)
DOCUMENT#5
- Document#5 includes a letter from Carol Wald stating she has been involved
with the Old Hill School House for many years. She was an instructor and
president of Kid's Art Studio that had about 40 students. It was never a day
care and has housed children for educational purposes.
- Referring to a Letter of Policies for the Kid's Art Studio, Paragraph 3 states
"We ask that you pay by the month. This will identify us properly in the eyes
of the government. Otherwise we would appear to resemble a day-care type
set-up and we wish to be ideritified as an Art Studio."
Schneider noted that Oman omitted the fact that there was a dance center. A
brochure and schedule from the American Dance Center held at the Old Hill School
House included in the packet.
Schneider noted Carol Wald was present and would answer any questions the Board
had. There were none at this time.
3. 18?? - 1989 OCCUPANCY HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY CITY RECORDS
AS E (CITY PRESENTED TO CODE BOARD AS F-2??)
DOCUMENT#6
- A memo from Lyle Oman and Bruce Vang provides a chronology of use of
the building to Jeanne Mabusth. Oman makes the occupancy classification
stating "The new use is classified as a B-2 occupancy which is different than
the previous school use (an E occupancy) and the day care use (an R
occupancy)."
- In another memo dated May 21, 1997,Oman notes "The original school was
an E-1 occupancy." Secondly,he indicates the day care is an E-3 occupancy
which is different than listed previously. Thirdly, Oman states "The Atelier
LeSueur school was proposed as a B-2 occupancy by the applicant's architect.
4
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
- The building permit included in Document#6lists the UBC Occupancy as
an E.
Schneider stated the occupancy has been documented in these City records as E
occupancy.
4. THE SUPPORT OF OUR POSITION FROM ACTUAL UBC CODE
DOCUMENT#7
- Section 3401 states "Any change in the use or occupancy of any existing
building or structure shall comply with the provisions of Section 109 and
3405 of this code." Oman also refers to this code in his Agenda. �
- Section 3405 states "No change in the character of occupancy of a building
shall be made without a certificate of occupancy, as required in Section 109
of this code."
- Section 109 states "No building or structure shall be used or occupied, and
no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure
or portion thereof shall be made until the building official has issued a
certificate of occupancy... " Schneider noted no certificate of occupancy had
ever been issued.
- Section 109.3 notes the building official has the authority to issue a
temporary certificate of occupancy stating "If the building official finds that
no substantial hazard will result from occupancy of any building or portion
thereof before the same is completed, a temporary certificate of occupancy
may be issued for the use of a portion or portions of a building or structure
prior to the completion of the entire building or structure.".
Schneider stated that the fire escape had been attached and the exiting
requirements were met,although the handicap access was not completed. He
felt there was opportunity to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy.
In summary, Schneider stated the docuxnents the City has on file support the E occupancy
classification, including the conditional use permits in 1994 and 1997 and the last building permit
issued 8/13/96. He added that facts show the building was used by children on a full-time basis.
Finally, the code supports his position since the building official is required to issue a certificate of
occupancy before a change in classification can occur.
5
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
Schneider contacted Duane Grace,past member of the Minnesota Building Code and currently a full-
time building official for 4 cities and the State Fair Building Official, for reference information.
Grace agreed with Schneider that the building should be an E occupancy. If there was a change of
occupancy, most likely there would be work required by the building code to have the occupancy
approved. In 1976 the handicap code would have required a handicap access and inspections would
be required. A certificate of occupancy could not be issued if the work had not been completed and
therefore,the occupancy would not change.
Bellows asked Grace if he thought the building, as it stands, was safe for young children to occupy
on a full-time basis. Grace responded it was no worse than many of the existing public schools in
Minnesota.
Bellows asked if a formal code report had been done. Schneider confirmed that one had not been
done. He added the Boazd's role in this matter is to decide if there is a change of occupancy with the
proposed private school use,not to decide if the code requirements involved with the change of use
are valid or not.
Bellows commented on the letters in 1976 classifying the occupancy as F-2 by Mr.Alan Olson. She
felt a certificate of occupancy could have been issued at that time for the F-2 classification. She also
felt that the safety of children is an underlying issue.
Grace interjected that the Board of Appeals could only rule on one item - if Oman's interpretation
of the building code for occupancy is correct. He agrees there are some conditions which need to
' be conected but that is not the purpose of the Board.
Grace did not think a certificate of occupancy could have been issued for F-2 as the handicap access
was not done. Schneider added that E�ibit B-18, a letter from Building Official Olson dated
September 27, 1976, indicates items which need to be corrected or completed prior to issuance of
a certificate of occupancy.
Kohnen responded that a certificate of occupancy could not be issued because the requirements were
never met. It is the building official who has the authority to classify the occupancy use.
Schneider indicated that Oman has done two separate code reviews and classified the occupancy as
E on both occasions. Oman responded that it was an error on his part.
Kohnen asked if the State Fire Marshall had reviewed the building. Schneider confirmed that he had
not. Kohnen did not feel the second floor outside exit would qualify as a second exit for children.
Schneider added a wide stairway goes down to the front door.
6
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
Bellows noted the Kid's Art Studio currently occupies the first floor and the Environmental School
is set up on the second floor. Erickson, parent and co-founder of the Environmental School,
responded that the City was aware that the Environmental School was setting up and they had
Council permission.
Schneider stated he was willing to comply with the code work. Kohnen asked why there was a
problem with the occupancy change. Schneider replied that the building,as it stands, is not required
by code to be sprinkled. However,the City of Orono has adopted a special provision of the code that
would require sprinkling,regardless of the UBC requirements.
Schneider noted there have been no changes to the building and it has been in consistent occupancy.
The biggest issue is if the City requires the building to be sprinkled there is no City water. The only
alternative is to try to fit 3-4,000 gallons of water in the building in a tank that is 7'x 25' which is
impossible to do. Schneider is willing to bring the building up to code in terms of proper exiting and
use of the building. The basement will not be used.
Bellows noted that education was probably the only use for the building but the current conditions
make her nervous. Many times it has been mentioned to bring the building up to code yet it has
never happened, which is why no certificate of occupancy has been issued. Once again the owner
says he will bring the building up to code. She was unsure if he would be able to afford to do so.
Kohnen felt the occupancy had not changed from the F-3 classification. Schneider responded that
since 1989 he has relied on documents from the City listing the use as E-2. He has never been cited
for any code violations. Atelier LeSueur failed to provide ramps which it was required to do. He�
did not think it was fair to make the statement that no one has ever brought the building up to code.
Oman commented that there are other facilities in the City that have water tanks to address the
sprinkler requirement such as a marina, church, day care and golf course maintenance building.
Schneider stated the criteria was not met in 1976 for a change in occupancy. He added that a change
in occupancy triggers much more restrictive requirements.
Bellows noted Section 3401 states"provided such continued use is not dangerous to life." She felt
the point of the sprinkler was because the building is a potential fire hazard. Two vulnerable
populations are children and those hospitalized which is why restrictions for those groups are more
stringent.
Grace stated that other parts of the state would allow him to build similar wood structures without
sprinkler systems.
7
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
HELD JUNE 25, 1997
Schneider asked what would satisfy the Board. Kohnen responded that was not the charge of the
Board.
Bellows confirmed there were no certificate of occupancies on file.
Kohnen felt the closest thing to a certificate of occupancy was A1 Olson's determination of F-2
classification and the intent to issue a certificate of occupancy. He added that the lives of children
is a very important issue.
Erickson commented that the children in the Lake Minnetonka Environmental School have a choice
of whether to be there or not. All the parents have been through the building and none have
mentioned any fire hazards or the building being unsafe. There are five exits for two floors. Each
classroom has a direct exit to the outside. There will only be 7-8 children in the Art Studio at one
time and the parents make the choice to have them attend class.
Bellows asked how many students were in the Environmental School. Erickson responded there
were 13 currently, with projections of 20.
Sherokee Ilse,parent and founder of the Environmental School, stated that parents have commented
that they feel safer with a child in the Hill School than the Orono Middle School or High School
because of the long corridors and masses of people. She added the Sojourn program in Spring Park
uses an early detection fire system which met the code of the State Fire Marshall and City and did
not need a sprinkler system.
Bellows was unsure how the Environmental School got to the point it has. She had talked with Ilse
and suggested the Environmental School hire someone to do a code search on the building. City
Planner Liz Van Zomeren concurred.
Erickson responded that the Environmental School would be leasing the building from Schneider.
Many architects have looked at the building. Yoos indicated she had met all the requirements Oman
had asked for, which included attaching the fire escape in the back.
Bellows felt if a code review had been done, she would look more favorably on the situation. The
whole purpose of having occupancy regulations is for life safety.
Grace stated before he could do a code review he would have to know what the occupancy is of the
building. To him, the records show the building is an E occupancy, and technically Schneider
doesn't have to do anything. The Fire Marshall is the one who determines if there is a threat to life
safety, not the building official.

Bellows felt the occupancy was closest to F-2 because that is where the most work has been done.
Kohnen asked how Schneider found out there was a change of occupancy. Schneider responded that
he applied for a conditional use permit which triggered the upgrade. He had met with Oman on site
and talked with City staff on several occasions and there always seemed to be confusion about what
had to be done. Oman responded that he had told him the first thing to do was have an architect
review the building, and he would approve or disapprove their findings. Schneider added that
originally they were going to go off the plans on file at the City and would only be required to
provide handicap accessibility. The occupant load did not require an elevator.
Bellows asked about early use of the building. Oman responded that City records show it was used
as a public school prior to 1971 and was a C-1 occupancy(would be E occupancy by today's code).
Schneider noted there were no cooking facilities,lab facilities or open flame situations produced in
the building or by school usage. It is well exited and windowed. They are adaptable about how the
building is used and where the teaching should be done. From the 1994 CUP, a handicap ramp and
handicap toilet rails remain to be completed. Oman�oted that a full report had not been received
from the architect.
Bellows referred to the Apri15, 19761etter from Alan Olson to Betty Chandler stating the schedule
will allow the building to be classified as Occupancy Group F-2 with a B-3 assembly room on the
second floor,with construction proceeding toward this end. A second basement exit was the only
major item yet to be completed. Schneider was unsure what they were referring to and explained
there was one exit that goes directly to the outside from the basement and the other is a stairway to
the first floor.
Bellows asked about the code in 1976. Schneider responded that a certificate of occupancy had to
be issued. He noted that a certificate of occupancy had been issued to 2240 North Shore Drive,
Minnetonka Art Center, in 1978 for a completed project. Bellows noted that there had to be
someone who followed through to see that a certificate of occupancy was actually issued and may
not just automatically happen.
A friend of Schneider's, Greg Rye, commented that he has worked with City government for 15
years. He did not feel Schneider should be held responsible for improvements not completed by
previous owners. The City is ultimately responsible for the enforcement of code requirements. He
felt the issues could be resolved in a positive way. The building official can check to be sure
improvements are completed.
Schneider stated he had never been contacted about any violations of the conditional use permits or
in operations. Oman responded that a residential day care does not require a license.

Oman sta.ted he felt it was his duty to enforce the current code and believes there is a change in use
and occupancy classification.
Bellows asked what the sprinkler system would cost. Schneider responded about $40,000. The
limitation is the 7' x 25' tank. The foundation is about 2' of rock. Oman noted that there are
residences on Bohns Point Road and Bracketts Point with underground water tanks.
Bellows asked what causes the need for a sprinkler. Schneider responded it was 8,500 square feet
or two stories. They have two stories even though they are well below the 8,500 square feet.
Neal Webber stated he called the State about the occupancy classification. They responded that they
would look at the most recent use and apply simple logic. The State had told Oman they would
classify it as E occupancy and continue on that basis. Webber felt it should be an E occupancy as
that is what the building was designed for.
Kohnen noted that in 1976 Mr. Olson was ready to approve an F-3 occupancy and that is where he
feels it should be. When there is a question,the occupancy stays in the lowest classification.
Schneider noted the documentation of recent years was in error on 3 or 4 different occasions yet the
Board would accept information from 1976. Bellows explained that Mr. Olson's information in 1976
came closest to issuing a certificate of occupancy as F-2 occupancy.
Schneider asked if they wanted the building used as a school,as a house or bulldozed. It has always
been used as a school.
Rye asked if there was a "to-do" list. Oman responded there was not. Without a change in
classification,they don't have to do any building improvements.
Roelofs asked how the building would be classified today if none of the past records existed. Oman
responded it would be an E occupancy, determined by the building official.
Bellows stated that twice in the history of the building the intent was to change the classification.
The B-2 classification was used for Atelier LeSueur because rooms were used for educational
purposes beyond the 12th grade with less than 50 occupants in a room.
Schneider responded the B-2 classification was a suggestion from Oman. T'he fact is that children
were being ta.ught there for more than 12 hours a week or 4 hours in a day which is the threshold.
B-2 is adult education only but Atelier LeSueur also taught children. He did not feel the building
was ever occupied as a B-2 use as there was always mixed education.

Bellows questioned the E occupancy classification on the building permit. Oman responded it was
an error as he had not researched the file completely. A previous building permit was issued as an
R-3. He stated that most of the permits he issues fall under that classification and he made an error
writing in the code on his review worksheet.
Schneider added that in the zoning reviews of 1994 and 1997,the classification was an E occupancy.
He referred to a memo dated April 18, 1994 from Lyle Oman and Bruce Vang. Oman responded
that prior to the day care use,the original occupancy was educational and classified with a different
code at that time. Schneider noted that F-3 is never mentioned. He did not feel the City documents
in his Document Package#6 could be relied on.
Kohnen asked Oman why he used the B-2 classification. Oman responded that,in his understanding,
the E occupancy is for full-time educational purposes while B occupancy is more of a business-type
use where there are classes for adults and children for short periods of time. B-2 use is more for
profit.
Schneider noted that their classes were non-profit. He reiterated the code for E occupancy includes
when children are present for 12 or more hours per week or 4 or more days per week. Oman noted
there were students beyond the 12th grade in classes. Schneider agreed. Oman explained that, in
his mind, he would consider that a B-2 use. The building code says "Every building whether
existing or hereafter erected, shall be classified by the building official according to its use and
character."
Bellows asked how the Minnetonka Art Center is classified. Oman was not sure and would have to
do some research.
Grace commented that he could complete the code search if it was an E occupancy and forward a
report to the architect, as required with E occupancies.
Ilse commented that there was no summer school at the Environmenta.l School but they were having
open houses. Erickson added that at a recent Council meeting,the Mayor had directed City staff to
expedite this matter.
Bellows asked if there was any alternative to the sprinkler. Oman responded that the code doesn't
give any leeway.
Bellows explained that the B-2 use is the intermittent use by children and adults as an educational
facility and is different from the proposed E-2 use. Schneider responded that he has shown that an
E-2 use existed while it was classified as B-2.

Grace suggested rather than tabling their decision that the Board take some time for consultation.
Kohnen stated that he based his decision on Mr. Olson's classification.
Roelofs stated he was unsure about supporting the B-2 classification but feels the occupancy should
be reclassified as there have been definite changes in the character of use. By the change in use, it
gets reclassified. If it can't be reclassified that way, he would agree with B-2 and the need to
reclassify.
Bellows noted it is a fact that the use has changed over the years. There was a phase of elementary
education and adult education but was not continuous. There have been shifts in use. She would
also look at the intent.
Roelofs reiterated that he felt it should be reclassified and hoped there would be a way to work out
the sprinkler system issue. Oman informed the Board that the City has reduced the amount of water
supply necessary because of the response time of the Fire Department. Another option would be to
look for a repeal of the code that requires the sprinkler from Council.
Bellows asked if Oman could grant any period of time to pursue options. Oman stated there was no
option to allow E occupancy without a sprinkler system. Once the code is adopted, it must be
enforced. Council does not have the authority to grant exceptions to the code. Kohnen asked how
Oman felt about the code. Oman responded it should remain in place. There are volunteer fire
departments with large public areas to cover for response time.
Bellows asked if they could occupy the building if they didn't use or closed off the second floor.
Oman responded they could if Schneider reduced the building to one story.
Schneider felt all three Board members were arriving at the same conclusion for different reasons.
He has studied the issue thoroughly and there are no alternatives. The City Council can't grant
exemptions and the building official must enforce the code if there is a change in use.
Erickson asked if they could get a temporary certificate of occupancy until they can work out a
solution for the school. If the vote is for a change in occupancy classification,the Kid's Art Studio
has no place else to go and the Environmental School has no other options.
Schneider asked if students were allowed to be in the high school even though it is not sprinkled.
Oman responded they had not asked for a change in occupancy use. Schneider noted that there are
three triggers for upgrading including new construction,remodeling or a change in occupancy. The
school has done remodeling so he questioned why they had not been required to add a sprinkler
system. Oman responded that the new Link caused two other buildings to be sprinkled.

Ilse asked about the State's response. Oman responded that a State Code Consultant gave his
opinion. Webber added that the State asked what is the real use of the building. Following that
logic,the State(Scott McClellan)told both Oman and himself that they would classify the building
as an E occupancy.
Grace suggested the Board make their decision and give it to them in writing with a copy to the
State. Oman noted the State can uphold or reverse the decision of the Board. Webber added that
the State's opinion took into consideration the size of the building (50' x 30') and the exits.
A vote was taken to affirm the reclassification of occupancy use for the building located at 2180
North Shore Drive. Ayes 3, nays 0.
