Phone Conversatlon- Ringer Building Permit
Glenn and I spoke to Sylvia Ringer regarding her ag building and future cabin on their property on CR
312. There had been several discussions regarding both buildings during the month. A building permit
application BLRE-05-L7-47O7 had been submitted on 5-L-17 to convert the ag building to a permitted
structure. The change in occupancy requires a building permit in order to use the structure for use
additional to just the storage of ag equipment or materials. The Ringers want to use the structure
accessory to their future cabin and possibly to hold wedding type venues in the future. They are also
planning on installing solar panels, a battery storage room, and a mechanical room to heat part of the
structure.
Our discussion with Sylvia included a summary provided to her from her design professional Jack
Palomino. We did correct an inaccurate statement by Jack relating to a requirement for a planning
permit to convert the barn from an ag use. We explained that only a building permit would be required
until they wanted to use the barn for formal wedding commercial use.
Sylvia said they were just going to build a remote cabin at this time to be occupied no more than 6
months per year. She said they would convert the structure in the future to a full time home with the
required building permit and process.
File Notes
Review BLRE-4707
tncluded in the building permit is also a septic permit SEPT-05-17-4708. Matthew Ringer requested a
soils test for the proposed system. The permit was issued and Jim Wilson reviewed the soils on May 26,
ZOL7. Jim found the holes full of water and Matt was going to try another spot. Matt did ask Jim if he
could inspect some underground plumbing as part of the barn ímprovements Jim declined since there is
not a building permit. Some plumbing would be allowed for an ag building. Typically, it would be limited
to a sink or WC. The septic permit is for the remote cabin, barn and possibly future development to
include an ADU.
ln revíewing the pictures of the foundation work for the barn that were in the file submitted by the
Ringers, it would appear the concrete piers were poured fírst then the footing was poured around the
pier. This would be contrary to the engineered plans, general practice, and the code. An engineer
would need to review the condition to determine a fix before the structure could be a permitted
structure.
