XJL4�L3 <br /> RUM RIVER <br /> CONSULTANTS <br /> ,July 19, 2024 <br /> Todd Larson <br /> Planning Manager, City of Ramsey <br /> 7550 Sunwood Drive NW <br /> Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> Regarding 6960 148th Lane NW: <br /> The identified residential property in the City of Ramsey is subject to the following facts and violations. <br /> Minnesota Rule 1300.0120 Permits, cites the fact that an owner who intends to construct, enlarge, or <br /> otherwise alter a structure shall first make application and obtain the required permit. Work has been <br /> performed absent the required application, review, payment of fees, permit and inspections. This work includes <br /> an addition to the attached garage. The improvements do not appear to meet the required setbacks and <br /> possibly over the adjoining property line. <br /> Additionally, the work is not in conformance with prescriptive provisions of the MN Residential Code as <br /> published and adopted, site specific engineering may be required to ensure code provisions are met for <br /> structural integrity and fire resistive construction. <br /> Individual projects must be located within required setbacks and the owner shall be able to clearly identify the <br /> property line and structure location. A site inspection was not able to confirm the exact location of the property <br /> line as it relates to the construction of the framing, foundation and roof overhang. <br /> Minnesota State Building Code Chapter 1309 Section 302 Fire-Resistant Construction cites walls within the <br /> existing setback must be of 1 hour fire resistance rating. As this structure does not contain walls, but instead <br /> support posts, a special design would be required to ensure both structural integrity as well as the <br /> requirements for fire resistance. <br /> In summary, as established processes and procedures were not followed, I am not able to confirm the viability <br /> of this project nor its potential to adequately meet state nor city codes and ordinances. <br /> Respectfully submitted <br /> Andy Schreder, Owner- CBO <br /> Rum River Construction Consultants <br /> 23306 Cree Street NW, Suite#103, St. Francis, MN 55070 <br /> (763) 331-7722 <br /> www.rumrivercc.com <br />
