Box 66 Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-G�66 August 19, 1994 Kurt Fisk 40 Lakeview Avenue Tonka Bay, MN 55331 RE: Stairway - Building Code Violation 3458 North Shore Drive Dear Mr. Fisk: You have had conversations with Bruce Vang, Orono Building Inspector, regarding the stairway at the above referenced property. This letter is to require you to rebuild the stairs to code before September 5, 1994. �tatistics show stairways to be very hazardous. About 800,000 accidents annually are attributed to stairway use in the United States. Approximately 4,000 are fatal. Therefore, it is imperative that stairways be constructed to code at the very least. Accidents will still occur on stairs, but if they are built to code, there won't be lawsuits naming you, the City and the property owners as liable parties. It is unfortunate that the homeowner may lose some closet space and that you will have to go through the work of rebuilding, but if it saves one person from injury or death, it is well worth it. The City will initiate legal action if the above deadline is not met. If you have any questions or if I can assist you in any way, feel free to contact me at my office. Sincerely, � ��` Lyle Oman Building Official LO/lsv cc: Jeanne A. l�iabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator Bruce L. Van�, Building Official Enc.

The citation will require a court appearance and payment of a fine. A new deadline of May 1, 1995 has been established for compliance. If this deadline is not met, the City will file a formal complaint and report the matter to the State Commerce Department for possible revocation of your contractor's license. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at my office. If you disagree with the City's interpretation of the code you can confer with the Minnesota State Building Code Division at 296-4639.
