TO: City Administrator FROM: Building Official DATED: May 23, 1979 RE: Monthly Report Building continued to be somewhat slower than last year with 47 starts for the m6r~th. For the same time period last year we hadt34 starts. During the month I found two parties doing construction without building permits. Both indicated they were not aware permits were required. One was for a storage building and the other was for a fire place and both have acquired permits now. I attended the Building Officials meeting~in Rochester where much of the discussion was about the status of the various bills before the legislature in regards to enforcement of building codes. It appears that the only change that will affect us is that ungraded lumber will be acceptable pro- vided the building official attends au approved lumber grading school. The local jurisdiction would, however, have the option of denying the use of any ungraded lumber. The State Bank of Anoka was sent a letter directing them to remove the new sign~ which is apparently for the hardware store, at 167th and Highway #47. The sign was installed in the right-of-way without.a permit. Other letters sent out included two for residents with more than one driveway and one with a problem with a septic system.. Other problems, including one permit I wo~ld not issue, are included in separate reports. Permits issued, mileage and inspections are as follows: Permits Issued Permit Fee Valuation Surcharge A.
