RE: House at 790 South 42nd Street, Springfield, Oregon
Ms. Kuykendall
I am the Community Services Division representative to the Development Review Committee
which reviewed you request to rezone the subject property to Medium Density Residential.
As a result of this request, we became aware that the existing single family dwelling on the
property has undergone a remodel and addition which has converted the structure to a duplex.
This work was apparently performed without benefit of required permits or inspections from
this office.
I have researched our building permit records, and find only a record of a permit for fire
damage repair obtained by a former owner, William Hall, in 1982.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that rezoning of the property may bring the duplex
into compliance with City Of Springfield Development Code land use regulations, but does not
address the issue of compliance with requirements of the State One And Two Family Dwelling
Code which is enforced by the Community Services Division in this jurisdiction. To achieve
compliance with applicable Building Code regulations, you need to do the following:
Employ a Prof essional Code Consultant to perform a detailed inspection of the building,
and develop a report of their findings relative to compliance with applicable provisions
of the Code. lf you can provide acceptable evidence of when the work was
performed, we will allow the Code review to be performed based on the edition which
was applicable at that time. lf you cannot provide such evidence of when the work
was performed, we will require that the compliance review be to the current edition
of the Code.
Submit the Code compliance report to this office for our review.
Obtain required permits and inspections of all work which was performed without
benefit of such required permits and inspections, as well as any additional work which
may be required to bring the structure into compliance with applicable Codes.
Obtain a Certificate Of Occupancy from this office prior to use of the structure for
human habitation.
The Code compliance review may revealthat much of the work which was performed is not
in compliance with applicable Code requirements. lf this is the case, it may be easier for you
to convert the structure back to a single-family dwelling. Please feel free to contact me at
your earliest convenience with any questions you may have regarding the above requirements
at 726-3669. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in bringing the structure into
compliance with minimum Building Safety Codes.
Sincerely,
Lorne W. Pleger, Plans Examiner
