July 19, 2024 <br />Todd Larson <br />Planning Manager, City of Ramsey <br />7550 Sunwood Drive NVV <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Regarding 6850 148th Lane NVV: <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 Ciree Street NW, Suiite #103, St. Francis, MN 550'70 <br />(763) 3311.7722 <br />www,uruu murlii eurcc cor <br />
