Centennial Fire District <br />7741 Lake Drive <br />Lino Lakes MN 55014 <br />April 15, 2008 <br />Mr. Chad Wagner <br />Millers on Main <br />8001 Lake Drive <br />Lino Lakes MN 55014 <br />Dear Chad, <br />We have received your application for your tent event, to be held on August 15 and 16, <br />2008. <br />Because of the size of your lot, which is under 65 feet deep, and the fact that a tent 40 <br />feet wide and the required setbacks can not be met, I will not be able to approve the use <br />of the tent on your property. <br />The Fire Code as adopted by the state of Minnesota states that a tent including support <br />ropes and guy wires shall not be located within 20 feet of the property lines. Your lot size <br />would not allow for this setback. <br />You have the right to appeal this to the Lino Lakes City Council and you could ask for a <br />variance to remove the setback requirement on the north side of the tent. These setbacks <br />are for safety concerns and I am always concerned when variances are issued removing <br />safety requirements, but the decision for a variance is up to the Lino Lakes City Council. <br />I have included copies of Chapter 24 of the Fire Code, which covers Tents, Canopies and <br />other Membrane Structures. There is also a copy of the state statue that addresses the <br />appeal process. <br />Sincerely <br />/3_14tze`" <br />Milo Bennett <br />Fire Chief <br />cc. Gordon Heitke, Lino Lakes City Administrator <br />Julie Bartell, Lino Lakes City Clerk <br />• <br />• <br />
