Dear Sir:
This will acknowledge your letter of December 30.
M most sincere apologies for the apparent oversight in not securing the
proper and appropriate building permit for the work done on Miss Emily
Petersen's home.
While I was not directly involved with the sale or construction of this
awning, we are indeed embarrassed by the situation. Please be assured
that we shall take prompt action to correct the oversight.
I am surprised further that the roof violates the city zoning requirements
as to minimum rear yard requirements. I sincerely hope that the Board of
Appeals will fully consider the needs of Miss Petersen. We graciously
plead with the Board on behalf of Miss Petersen to act favorably upon her
request to allow the awning in place and for her benefit.
Any assistance you can give in transmitting this message to the Board will
be sincerely appreciated.
I can positively assure you that we will do no work of this type in the future
without first obtaining the proper building permit from the Inspector's Office.
We have complete certified engineering data demonstrating that the canopy that
was installed has an allowable load in excess of 45 pounds per square foot plus
an additional safety factor of two. Computed out this would give a load bearing
capacity of an excess of 130 pounds per square foot.
This is considerably an excess of our requirements in the City of Appleton or
for the State of Wisconsin.
