City Engineer & Building Official
SUBJECT: Access2Capital's Request for a Certificate Of Occupancy or a "Certification that
there are No code violations on record"for the American Manor Apartments.
(Apartments formerly known as Applewood Apts. at 151 So. V East St.)
We have never been able to find the City's copy of a Certificate Of Occupancy for this building.
At the time the apartment complex was being constructed, it is my understanding that there was
some controversy over whether or not the buildings were being constructed in accordance with
the Uniform Building Code if effect at the time. I don't know whether a Certificate of
Occupancy was never issued or whether it has been lost over the ensuing years.
In late January of 1996, we were asked by the apartment owner/manager, Steve Clark, to
evaluate the various buildings in the apartment complex to determine if they complied with the
Life/Safety requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Fire Code, State Electrical
Code and the City's Zoning Code. Attached is a copy of my letter of February 9, 1996 setting
forth our findings for each of the various buildings in the apartment complex. As can be readily
seem, there were a number of problems with each of the buildings. I WOULD LIKE TO
EMPHASIZE THAT THIS INSPECTION WAS GENERALLY LIMITED TO ITEMS IN
PLAIN AND FULL VIEW OF THE INSPECTOR. ATTICS WERE INSPECTED FROM THE
ATTIC ACCESS OPENING. GYPSUM WALLBOARD THICKNESSES WERE
MEASURED AT ELECTRICAL OUTLET FIXTURES AND LIGHT FIXTURES OR WHERE
OPENINGS IN THE EXTERIOR SIDING MADE THE GYPSUM WALLBOARD VISIBLE
AND MEASURABLE. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ASCERTAIN THE STRUCTURAL
SOUNDNESS OF THE BUILDINGS OR RELATED FACILITIES. THIS INSPECTION
AND REPORT DO NOT PROFESS TO HAVE COVERED ALL OF THE ITEMS INCLUDED
IN THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, UNIFORM FIRE CODE AND STATE ELECTRICAL
CODE.
We tried to get a schedule and timetable from Mr. Steve Clark regarding when and what
buildings/items on the list were going to be worked on. We were never able to get a schedule
and list of work from Mr. Clark. He had various carpenters and college students doing work on
various items and at various times and we were infrequently informed about when or what they
were working on. Building Inspector Blair Manwaring tried to keep an eye on the various work
items that were being completed but he never knew exactly what or when the various
carpenters/college students were working on the different items so his inspections were on kind
of a "catch as catch can" basis. To the best of my knowledge the violations of the State
Electrical Code were corrected (Item #6, Bldg. IA this electrical line may not have been
adequately buried yet.) but the violations of the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code
were not all corrected before the apartment complex changed owners from Steve Clark to Dr.
Tamala Rencher, etal.
After Dr. Tamala Rencher took over ownership of most of the Apartment Complex (now
American Manor Apartments) we tried again to get a list of exactly what work was going to be
done where and when so that every one would know what the plan was to get the various Code
violations corrected. We were never able to get such a list/schedule from Dr. Rencher either;
however, she did have a repair crew under the leadership of a Scott Caffaro that did a lot of work
on the apartments. Building Inspector Blair Manwaring worked with Scott Caffaro and did
various inspections of various work that Caffaro and crew completed, but we have no record of
exactly what has been corrected and what has not been corrected To further complicate
the situation, some of the apartments in Building I are owned by new owners other than Dr.
Rencher. The building and parking spaces south of Buildings #3 & #4 has been sold to a
different owner leaving the original apartment complex so it has an even greater deficit of
parking spaces than it had originally.
In conclusion, I guess I would have to say that we don't have any good records of what
items have been corrected and what have not been corrected. There have just been too
many carpenters/college students doing work that we were not aware of and which
therefore never got inspected. It appears to me that the apartment complex needs to have
another complete and thorough inspection to see which of the listed items have been
completed and which have not. This would be done under Section 108.8 of the 97 UBC
and would be paid for by the owner under Table 1-A Building Permit Fees, Item 2 -
Reinspection Fees assessed under provisions of Section 108.8 @ $47.00/hr.(See attached
copy of Sec. 108.8 and Table 1-A) This would basically be doing over again what we did
four years ago in Feb. 96. I'm sure we will find that there are still a number of items on
the previous list that have not yet been corrected. The lack of adequate vehicle parking is
a known item that has not been corrected. As indicated above, we did not do a structural
evaluation of any of the buildings. I would be particularly concerned about the
structural viability of the three story structure (Building 1-A). Perhaps the owner should
be required to have a structural engineer evaluate the structure.
1997 UNIFORM BUILDING CODE
permit for which a plan review fee has been paid is withdrawn or
canceled before any plan reviewing is done.
The building official shall not authorize refunding of any fee

official.
108.3 Inspection Requests. It shall be the duty of the person do-
ing the work authorized by a permit to notify the building official
that such work is ready for inspection. The building official may
require that every request for inspection be filed at least one work-
ing day before such inspection is desired. Such request may be in
writing or by telephone at the option of the building official.
It shall be the duly of the person requesting any inspections re-
quired by this code to provide access to and means for inspection
of such work.
108.4 Approval Required. Work shall not be done beyond the
point indicated in each successive inspection without first obtain-
ing the approval of the building official. The building official,

each inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for
which inspection is called is not complete or when correction
called for are not made.
'Ibis section is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection

requirements of this code, but as controlling the practice of calling
for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re-
inspcj:tihn:
Reinspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record
card is not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the
approved plan are not readily available to the inspector, for fail-
ure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested,

therefor in writing on a form furnished for that purpose and pay the
1-5
108.8 -109.6
TABLE 1-A

quired fees have been paid.

Approval to occupy is request and an inspection was conducted on the 5th day of January 1998 for
the following apartments:
Apartment 209- Bldg #1-C
Apartments 210, 211, -Bldg #2
Apartments 115, 116, 214, 215,- Bldg # 4
Apartments 209,210,211- have new smoke detectors installed that have a permanent, long life, non -
removable battery installed. The apartments have one or two minor discrepancies. The heat seemed to be
working adequately.
Apartments in Bldg. # 4 these were remodeled and repaired after the fire. There is a discrepancy of the
allowable sill height from the floor of 44" some go as high as 49" to 50" however there are beds or
permanent desks which would allow for adult egress. Some of the windows lack 5.7 SF. of operable area.
However being as adults will be occupying these units and this size would still allow egress. These are
non -conforming issues.
Work is progressing on all units and this letter is not issued as a completion on all items for any particular
building. Approval is given to occupy the above named units.

After reviewing and inspecting the apartments located at 151 S. First E. in Rexburg, I found that a
good portion of the electrical installation was inadequate and in poor workmanship. I was only
able to see the finished product and have no idea of what lies behind the walls. In any case, the
requested inspections indicate a large amount of redundancy and repeat violations (please see
enclosed findings). ,
If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me at (208) 359-3025.

RE: Certificate of Occupancy for American Manor
Dear Sir:
I am petitioning for the re -issuance of a certification of occupancy for the American Manor apartments
Enclosed is the letter from John Millar, the public facilities coordinator, stating his concern about two remaining
issues: (l)completion of repairs, and (2) parking. Both of these last two remaining issues have been completed.
Item (1) : The completion of the repairs required.
Due to the unique nature of these apartments, the city of Rexburg has graciously allowed each apartment and
building to be inspected and approved for occupancy individually. With the exception of the first building (the
triple-plex which I do not own), each apartment and building has been inspected and approved by the city
building, fire, and electrical inspectors. Students have and are presently occupying these apartments. The city
inspectors have expressed accommodation for the excellent improvements that have been made to each building,
in addition to the list of safety violation corrections required from the city, The construction crew has corrected
and improved each building. The city first inspected the "F" building, then the "B" building; then the "D"
building; then the "C" building; and lastly the "E" building. The inspections were completed last August.
Item (2): parking must include a minimum of 74 spaces (as in the original approval from the city)
There are 10 additional parking spaces today from the required 74 spaces as under the grandfather clause. The
nature of the complex has not changed and the parking area has actually been enlarged from the original to now
include 10 additional spaces. The original size of the complex (see enclosed map) was 335' X 184" plus the
adjacent lot of 184" X 62" located to the south. The present size of the complex is still 335" X 184" plus the
adjacent lot of 184" X 81" located to the south. (I elected to purchase the larger lot next to the one Steve Clark had
purchased due to the larger size and convenient location.)
With these two items reconciled, corrected, and clarified, I am requesting the city of Rexburg to grant a
re -issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the American Manor apartments.
I have appreciated the courteous assistance from the many city officers as this complex has been inspected and
approved for occupancy piece by piece. It is now ready for that certification of occupancy to be expanded to the
entire complex.
Thank you for the prompt attention in the matter.
Sincerely,
Tamla Reacher

Re: Certification of Occupancy of the apartment owned by Wrivestor's Financial at 151 S 1st E
Dear John Millar;
I was contacted by Jeff Shaw of Investor's Financal informing me of their plans of renting their 6 apartments by
May of 2000. I express concern about their lack of parking. Jeff stated that the city had approved their leasing a
lot around the corner of 22 spaces to fulfill their parking requirement.
According to city ordinance 5.2 the parking must by WITHIN 200 feet of the primary entrance.
The distance from the "primary entrance" of the Investor's Financial apartments to the comer of the proposed
leased parking lot is 238 feet. This does not even include the parking lot, but just to the CORNER of the property.
This is measured "as the crow flies" --cutting across my property and through my buildings which is not practical.
The true distance by walking on the sidewalk is 588 feet. Either way this proposed parking is in violation of
ordinance 5.2.
I am concerned about Jeff Shaw's confidence in the city approving his apartments for rent without adequate
parking.
I am aware of the city's concern about adequate parking at American Manor and I have made every effort to
comply completely with this code. Obviously others must comply also. Parking is a great problem at Ricks College
due to the increased number of students with cars.
From previous experience, I know that the occupants of these apparent will not park 588 feet away, but will
Illegally park on the street or the close church parking lot. Therefore, I wish to share my concern with you.
I'm sure the Jeff Shaw was mistaken in stating so confidently that the city had already given him parking approval.
As his parking lease does not conform to the code 5.2
I'm sure that the city is aware of this situation and will encourage alternative plans of parking to be made by Jeff
Shaw which can comply with ordinance 5.2 and be within the required 200 feet.
Thank you
Sincerely,
