Springfield, OR 97477 ,
RE: Prop_os~d Baldy View ConQo'miniums
De,ar Mr. Boyl~s:
At your request, I have rese,arched permit and land use approv~1 records to determine the
history of approvals previously obtained from Lane County for your property at 3415 Baldy
View Lar)e.Earlier records for the property were found under the address of 3403 Baldy View
Lane, with a,change to the Gurrent address after the former Group Care Center use ceased.
Attached, I have cre9ted a chronology of land use and permit approvals which we have on
record. From thE! records; I have been able to determine that the property was approved for
use as a radio broadcasting studio and office for a maximum of 4 occupants, a residence with
several remodels'and additions, and a duplex when one of the addition plansyvas modified to
create a second unit. I do not find approvals for what you now are requesting. which is 2
living units and 'an office space.
As has been conveyed in previous conversation and correspondence with the City Planning
Division, they see no land use problem with the approval for two living units and an office
unit. From a Building Safety Codes standpoint, we have the following concerns: ,
The Building Code requires a one-hour fire-resistive occupancy separation between
,living units, and/or betweer living units and the office uses. The County permit approvals
address separation requirements between two living units. We need to verify if this
separation has been installed, and if it has been maintained since. '
The County approvals do not address separation between office and residential use,
because that was apparently not requested, or adequately conveyed as part of a request. We
need to verify what the' separation condition is between the office use and adjoining
residential uses on either side.
Since we are now faced with additional considerations of. accessibility to ground floor
living units or offices for the physically impaired, we wiil be obligated to address these
considerations as well.
It is our !Jnderstanding that you, are currently only requesting the, first Phase of the
Condominium request, and that the actual implementation is to occur as a Phase two at some
future date.' We request that you obtain' a Change Of Occupancy inspection prior to
,implementation of Phase two. The intent of that inspection will be to determine the following:
Is the building in substantial compliance with the codes that were applicable at the time
work was, done.' '
Has the building been adequately maintained to assure safe use as intended.
''II
Has the building been altered in any way to compromise the integrity of structural,
plumbing, mechanical or electrical systems.
What additional Code items are applicable to the proposed use that were not previously
applicable to the former use or uses.
The current fee for the Change Of Occupancy inspection is $35.00. and the inspection can
usually be performed within two days of submitting an application and fee.
Questions regarding the content of this letter should be addressed to Lome Pleger, Plans
Examiner, at 726-3669.
Sincerely,
