Re: Terr,7 Emerson
Moving in older home
I have this date visited the present site where the home purchased
by Mr. Emerson is located. (6712 tlormandale Road, Edina)
I discussed with Mr. Emerson how this unit would be moved. It will
be cut in half down a Hallway which will not affect it structurally.
The building exterior and winclow frames are in excellent condition.
The house will fit in with other }comes in the community. The house
structurally is in excess of the State Code.
There are several changes which will be necessary to comply with the
code and follow in their importance.
1. Insulation to be brought up to present energy requirements.
2. Bedroom windows (one in each) will have to he changed to
meet exit requirements.
3. Smoke alarm to be installed near bedrooms.
4. Fire door ( 1 hr. equivalent) between tuck under garage with
self closing feature.
5. Electrical to be brought up to code.
I recommend that the Council approve this move based on the follow-
inq conditions if this is possible:
1. Mr. Emerson to file a letter of intent to bring the home up
to code within 120 days after the unit is brought into the
village. This letter should be drawn by the attorney.
2. Mr. Emerson to provide proof of notice to property owners
within 350 feet of his property of his intentions and to
report on their acceptance or rejection of his plan.
3. Mr. Emerson to provide complete plans of the hasement and
additional finishing of the lower level and all tests such
as percolation. The usual permits for new construction and
procedure to ue follo�:ed.
Yours truly,
John E. Mueller, Building Official
City of Lake Elmo
