• • • Memorandum To: City Council Members Scott Baumgartner, City Attorney From: Peter Kluegel Building Official Date: October 26, 2007 Re: Garage Shed Addition In the spring of 2004 after reviewing a Certificate of Survey for 2215 Reiling Road, a letter from my office was sent to Ken Muehlstedt, 2215 Reiling Road. The reason for the letter was that a portion of Mr. Muehlstedt's detached garage was only 1.2 inches from the side property line. It was discovered that an 8 x 30 = 240 sq. ft. shed addition to the existing detached garage (26 x 30 = 780 sq. ft.) was constructed without any permits. Mr. Muehlstedt applied for and then withdrew an application for a variance to the required 5 foot setback. Mr. Muehlstedt then removed 5 feet from the shed addition after obtaining a building permit to meet setback requirements. In 2007, Mr. Lloyd Chalupsky, 2215 Reiling Road, questioned the structural integrity of the shed roof support. I then had an on -site meeting with Mr. Muehlstedt to discuss additional roof support. After submitting a structural fix for the roof support, a meeting with Ken Muehlstedt, Dan Kelsey (State of Minnesota Building Codes Structural Engineer) and myself was scheduled to review the proposed fix. After doing some loading calculations, Mr. Kelsey's opinion was that the proposed fix was adequate. On Wednesday, September 5, 2007, a final inspection was completed on the support system.
