RE: ST. PETER'S CONVENT
51.42 BOARD REVISE
OSHKOSH, WIS.
Dear Mr. Reimer:
In response to our recent conversations about the change in occupancy
of St. Peter's Convent for use by the Winnebago County Mental Health
Clinic, attached please find four (4) copies of the plans of this
building showing room useage. These plans are being supplied for
your files on this building.
At this point in time, because the Clinic intends to do no remodeling,
it is our opinion that the project meets all requirements for this type
of occupancy. In January, I reviewed this point with Mr. McBurney of
D.I.L.H.R. and he concurred with this opinion. Therefore, I believe
the only requirement that has to be satisfied is that your records
show a change of use from Chapter 56, Residential to Chapter 54,
Factories, Offices and Mercantile Buildings.
During our recent conversations, several other points were raised
relative to the existing building and other code compliance items.
Following is a statement on each of the items:
l. Natural Lighting and Ventilation - All windows in the rooms
are operable and appear to be of adequate size to provide proper
ventilation.
2. Plumbing fixtures are adequate to serve the intended occupancy
useage of the Clinic.
3. Floor Loading - The structure is a reinforced concrete floor
slab placed on steel joist. We have not made specific structural
calculations for corridor loading, but from on-site observation
of the areas where exposed structure exists, it is our opinion
that the floor system is adequate to carry the required floor
loading now required by the codes.

4. A review of the exit requirements indicate that there are
adequate exitways from all floors to grade through the stairways.
There is one minor exit problem on the second floor, west end.
There are several offices located to the end of the building that
do have to be classified as a suite of offices. This area is
less that 1,800 sq. ft., therefore, the space can be classified
as a suite.
I trust that the above information will provide your office with
information to provide a letter to the Winnebago County Mental Health
Clinic stating that they can occupy this building as an office. We
would appreciate receiving a copy of that letter for our files.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this request.
