Ref: Permit # 2012 -00043 for building remodeling & volleyball court !
Dear Mr. Urtel, •
Having heard that you had opened your volleyball court for use by the general public I did a final
inspection of the project. I found the following violations to the City's Building Code:
1) This is an assembly area and you must post a sign stating no more than 49 occupants.
Please note that more than 49 occupants within the combined area of the patio and volley
ball court will require a second exit.
2) Provide a clear pathway to the exit gate. The table and chairs blocking that pathway must
be relocated.
3) Stairs do not comply with Building Code. The risers must be the same height and the
middle step tread should be the same length as the bottom stair tread. Attached is a copy
of code sections addressing stairs, guards, and handrails for your review.
4) Handrails are required on each side of the stairs. See attachment for code requirements.
5) An electrical permit is required for the electrical work done. Have your contractor obtain
that permit and call for all required inspections.
You need to correct all of these violations and call for a final inspection of the project. Until the
final inspection is made, approval granted by the Building Official for compliance to the Code,
this area is not to be occupied. Please contact Julie Hultman, if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
..----.- -.or"
