<br />TO: City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Building Official <br /> <br />RE: Monthly and Annual Report <br /> <br />DATE: December 30, 1980 <br /> <br />December proved quite uneventful with only five new housing starts. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Letters were sent to several individuals that had applied for and not pur- <br />chased building permits as well as Marsh Optical for an unauthorized sign <br />on T.H. #10. A stop work order was placed on the Minnesota Utility build- <br />ing as they had not acquired a permit or met the terms of their agreement <br />with the City. At this time, their permit has not yet been issued because <br />of building code non compliance and our not receiving our development bond. <br /> <br />Construction for the year was down approximately the same as was common in <br />the metropolitan area. We did, however, far better than most of our adjoin- <br />ing communi ties. <br /> <br />There were fifty housing starts for the year which is 55% of the 1979 total. <br />Valuation was a $3.5 million which is also 55% of the 1979 total. Even <br />though there is a need for more housing, it does not look like there will <br />be much improvement in the building industry until late in 1981. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />On January 5, 1981, I met with several of the northern area building <br />officials to review what the various communities are charging for permits. <br />I will cover this item with a separate report with some recommended changes. <br />It would appear that we are the lowest in the surrounding area. <br /> <br />Permits issued, mileage and inspections are as follows: <br /> <br />Permits Issued Permit Fee Valuation Surcharge <br />A.
