Re: Temporary Accessory Structure,Shed & Home Improvements
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Martens:
Please be advised that temporary accessory structures, such as that currently in place at your rear yard is not
permitted without a special event permit. With a special event permit, such structures are permitted to be in
place for a maximum of 50 days annually and shall be installed as required per City Ordinance 401.15.D.11 —
Temporary Accessory Structures. A copy of this ordinance and a special event permit are enclosed. Please remit
the special event permit to my attention at such time(s) you may wish to place a temporary accessory structure.
Additionally, permit 2016-00249 was issued in 2016 for a 10' x 16' shed to the rear yard. The only inspection
requested was for the setbacks. That permit expired and was closed without final disposition. The shed does
appear to have been nearly completed but is not yet fully so. Please plan for its completion no later than May
31, 2021 and contact me for final inspection.
Lastly, based on observation while at an adjacent residence inspection, it appears that other home improvement
projects have also occurred. Please be reminded that the City has adopted MN State Codes and by having done
so is legally obligated to require permits for many home improvements projects and to inspect them. Examples
of such projects, include but are not limited to decks, remodeling, plumbing and mechanical
replacements/alterations. When planning a project, please contact me to verify any permit requirement needs. I
am easily reachable by email and am happy to help you.
With this communication,you are asked to remove the canopy(temporary accessory structure) no later than the
end of the day Friday, October 31, 2020. A compliance check shall be made after that date.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
Sincerely,
PLANING& CODE ENFORCEMENT
