Re: Ground Elevation at Lowest Opening
•
Dear Sir:
This letter isn reference to your single family home
constructed at 575 Newberry Ave . N. (Lot 9 , Block 2 , Autumn
Ridge 1st Addition) . The building permit #BP-95-00794 was issued
for construction of this home at the elevations as approved on
the Certificate of Survey dated October 6 , 1995 .
Recently we reviewed the existing and proposed ground elevations
of your lot and the lot north of yours in conjunction with a
certificate of survey approval . It was at this time we found
your home to have lookout windows on the north side rather than
the egress windows shown on your certificate of survey and house
plans . The lowest opening elevation of the house as it is built
is 942 . 1 , which is nearly 3 feet lower than indicated on your
certificate of survey. Your certificate of survey indicates that
a ground elevation of 946 will surround the house, and it is
critical that the grading of your lot is done accordingly. A
pond at the rear of your lot has a high water level of 942 .0 and
therefore no exposed opening elevation lower than 945 will be
allowed.

Phone: 612-439-4439 • Fax: 612-439-0574
This situation must be corrected immediately with the
installation of blocks to the approved elevation and the
construction of necessary window wells complying with the
Minnesota State Building Code. These corrections shall be made
prior to any occupancy of this home.
If you have any questions , please contact me at 439-4439 .
Respectfully,
