Mr. Marcus Gabraway

Ref: 6174 Beach Road N.
Dear Mr. Gabraway:
This letter is in regards to your installation of two garage doors for Mr. Bouchie at his home located at
6174 Beach Rd. N. in the City of Oak Park Heights. Mr. Bouchie contacted me to do a site investigation
of the installation of these doors. It is my understanding that Mr. Bouchie has contacted you to inform
you that one door will not open, and I can confirm that it does not.
This letter to inform you a building permit is required when making any structural change to a building
and that the work you did destroyed the structural integrity of five 2 X 4 roof rafters and the structural
integrity of a ceiling /rafter tie in two different locations. In addition, beginning January 1, 1993, by
state statue, all residential automatic garage door opening system must include an edge sensor, safety
beam, or similar device, and you did not install this safety device.
I am directing you to make an application for a building permit no later than June 30, 2009, with the
corrections to this structure completed no later than July 15, 2009. With the application, you are to
submit a repair plan from a Minnesota State Licensed Structural Engineer. If I do not receive the
requested information by June 30, I will assume that you have no intention to comply, and I will be left
with no alternative but to commence enforcement through legal remedy as prescribed by City
Ordinance for misdemeanor violations.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a building permit application. Please fill out the high-lighted
sections.
Sincerely,
Jim Butler
Building Official
