RE: 1332 Mill Street, Springfield, Oregon
Dear Ms. Wedmore:
ln my previous letter dated May 3, 2001, I wrote to you regarding the use of your garage
as an additional living unit. I notified you in that letter that a maximum of 45 days was
being allowed for you to convert the garage either back to its original approved use, or
to the conversion, a meeting room and additional storage, as approved in 1984. To
date, we have received no response from you in regards to the demolition or conversion
proceeding. Because of the potential hazards from the modifications to the existing
electrical system that were done without required permits or inspection approvals, the
electrical service to the garage will be disconnected on Friday June 29,2001.
lf you need further information you can contact me at 726-3666, or Electrical lnspector
Dave Gadomski at726-3663, 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

RE: 1332 Mill Street, Springfield, Oregon
Dear Ms. Wedmore:
As a result of a recent complaint regarding the possible use of a garage as an additional living
unit, I made an inspection at the above referenced address, more particularly described as Lane
County Reference Number 17032744, Tax Lot 06600, to verift the vatidity of the complaint.
During the inspectioq your tenant verified the garage is currently being used as a separate single
family residence.
In reviewing the City's permit and inspection records for that location, I found that a permit was
issued in 1984 to convert the existing garage into a meeting room and additional storage. All
required permits and inspections were obtained and conducted for that conversion. Our records
revealed no record of a conversion from the approved meeting room and storage area to an
additional living unit for this structure and./or property.
This property is currently zoned LD& Low Density Residential, which allows only one dwelling
unit per tax lot, unless the property is on a corner lot, which allows for the construction of a
duplex. If you have questions regarding the zoning of your properfy, please contact the
Springfield Planning Division at 726-37 59.
This letter is written to notify you that the garage must be converted back to either its original
approved use as agarage, or, to the conversion as approved in 1934. This work must begin
within 30 days and be completed within 45 days from the date of this letter. If you do not take
corrective action within the time frame outlined above, the City may seek compliance through
legal recourse which may include Municipal Court proceedings.
Your cooperation in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated. If you need further information
you can contact me at 726-3666,8:00 a.m. until4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
