Ref: Construction of Deck&Stairs
Dear Mr. Freeman:
Last week while in route to an inspection in your neighborhood, I noticed that you have
constructed a deck off the north door of your home and also a set of,stairs to the rear yard. In
reviewing,our permit records, I could not find that a Building Permit was issued for this project.
This letter is to inform you that you must make application for a Building Permit no later than
November 13, 2009. I am enclosing a permit application and a handout showing the guidelines
for the construction of decks and stairways. With the application please submit a plan of the
deck and stairs drawn to a quarter-inch scale.
Currently,the guard rails for the deck and the stairs do not comply with the requirements of
the Minnesota State Building Code, which the City has adopted. Please review the handout to
g designp
make the necessarychanges on the Ian and contact me if you have questions.
R ctfully,
im Butle
