RE 0ccupancy Inspection At 542 Mi11 Street,
Springfield, 0regon
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Schne'li i:
At your request the Building Division and the Fire Marshal's office of the City of
Springfield conducted an oc-upancy inspection of the above referenced structure.
It is the decision of the Building Division that the proPosed use of the building
more closely resembles that of an R-l occupancy which is the same occupancy that now
,r..lt;.. several conditions of the building that did not meet the requirements of the
code in existence at the time the building was altered and which do not meet the cument
code.
It is our belief that the proposed use of the building will not be as hazardous as the
existing use. We do, therefore, feel iustified in approvlng the intended use of the
buildin6 with the following repairs, replacement and modifications:
