Hanson <br />Attached is the completion schedule that was agreed to by Jim Cossack relative to the construction of <br />an addition to his home to connect to the spa structure and resolve outstanding code violation issues. <br />The items that are crossed through have been completed. <br />Based on our recent inspections, it is apparent Mr. Cossack will not meet the December 31s` deadline. <br />In his defense, he has encountered problems associated with a foundation cave in, truss delivery, and <br />scheduling of sheet rock contractors. I believe these delays have added approximately four weeks to <br />his timeline. He has made substantial progress and it is my opinion that he will ultimately complete <br />the addition and spa to our satisfaction and in compliance with appropriate codes. It should also be <br />noted that he is doing the majority of the construction work himself. <br />I have also attached a number of pictures to document the progress he has made. While the interior <br />appears to have a lot of work left, he is completing the electrical rough -in. Once that inspection is <br />past, he can insulate the walls, and subject to another inspection, complete the sheet rocking. Steve <br />Westerhaus, our Building Official, believes an occupancy permit is obtainable before the end of <br />January. <br />Therefore, given the delays Mr. Cossack encountered, the progress he has made to date relying <br />primarily on himself as the contractor, and his commitment to complete the remaining work to allow <br />occupancy by the end of January, I am recommending we extend the completion date to January 31, <br />2005. I must emphasize that additional work would remain such as the completion of stuccoing, and <br />interior finish details. However, these items do not preclude granting of an occupancy permit. <br />cc: Pat Sweeney, City Attorney <br />Steve Westerhaus, Building Official <br />Jim Cossack <br />1 <br />
