It will be 1840 sq ft, but it is still smaller than the house square footage. I have called Doris and left her a message and I just got off the phone with Mrs. Eppink explaining all of this to her. She gave me this email address because she didn't have your phone number. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at your convenience.

I'll have to review some of the codes again, because I thought that what we were looking for was "livable area" in lieu of "building area". That apparently makes a difference. Please let me know what Kevin comes up with excluding "open steps", etc. Also, thanks for your help on the fence and debris. Hopefully, Joey Steffen will comply with the City's directives. Oh, I wanted to let you know that property is no longer occupied for it's intended purpose and more debris was accumulated in the piles upon that tenant's departure.

Mike Hollibaugh Ph. 571 2422 From: Eppink, Steve [mailto:SEppink@lauth.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 8:13 PM To: Hollibaugh, Mike P Cc: Steve & Melanie Eppink Subject: Joey Steffen's Garage Mike, I know that we just talked yesterday and that you assured me that you would look into matters concerning our pre - holiday discussions pertaining to Joey Steffen's Garage project, but by the observations of neighbors there appears to be a lot of activities on the property that commenced today that would indicate that a construction start is eminent. Additionally, it has been verified as of today by Kevin Brennen that the City of Carmel has granted Joey a permit for construction of his proposed very large garage. Steve - The Permit for this has not been issued — a "hold" has been placed on the property until the issues below have been resolved. 1 /23/2008 From: Brennan, Kevin S Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 11:33 AM To: Hollibaugh, Mike P Subject: Joey Mike, In the 2003 IRC the following are the definitions I found... Habitable Space A space in a building for living, sleeping, eating or cooking. Bathrooms, toilet rooms, closets, halls, storage or utility spaces and similar areas are not considered habitable spaces. Livinq Space Space within a dwelling unit utilized for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, bathing, washing and sanitation purposes. Basement That portion of a building that is partly or completely below grade (see Story above grade) Story above grade Any story having its finished floor surface ebtirely above grade, except that a basement shall be considered as a story above grade where the finished surface of the floor above the basement is: 1) more than 6 feet above grade plane. 2) more than 6 feet above the finished ground level for more than 50% of the total building perimeter. 3) more than 12 feet above the finished ground level at any point. This is all I found that might be appropriate.

Gray Road, Carmel, Indiana Dear Property Owner: The Hamilton County Health Department was called to investigate a complaint of substandard living conditions at the home at 11739 N. Gray Road, Carmel, Indiana. Environmental Health Specialist, Amanda Beaver, investigated the complaint on December 13, 2007. At the time of inspection, the furnace was not operating at the capacity to maintain the minimum required temperature in the home and therefore numerous space heaters were being used by the tenant. An adequate supply of hot water was not available from the plumbing fixtures in the home and evidence of previous sewage backups was observed on the basement floor near a drain. The Hamilton County Board of Health Rule Concerning Minimum Housing Standards and Dwellings Unfit for Human Habitation, Section 4(c) states, "Every dwelling unit shall be able to maintain a temperature of at least 65°F during ordinary winter conditions. Such heating equipment must be properly installed and maintained in good and safe working condition." Section 4(d) states, "Every dwelling unit shall have heated and unheated running water under pressure." IAC 16-41-20-1 states, "A dwelling is unfit for human habitation when the dwelling is dangerous or detrimental to life or health because of any of the following: 1) Want of repair. 2) Defects in the drainage, plumbing, lighting, ventilation, or construction. 3) Infection with contagious disease. 4) The existence on the premises of an unsanitary condition that is likely to cause sickness among the occupants of the dwelling." Order to Comply The following conditions must be resolved within fifteen (15) days from the date above: I) The furnace must be repaired to ensure a temperature of at least 65°F in the home. 2) The hot water issues must be resolved so that enough hot water is provided to meet the needs of the tenants. 3) The plumbing and drains must be repaired to eliminate the occurrence of sewage backups into the home and the floor of the basement must be cleaned and returned to a sanitary condition.

If you have any questions or need to schedule a follow up inspection, contact Amanda Beaver at 776-8500. Due to concerns with the structural integrity of several areas in the home as well as plumbing and electrical issues the Health Department has contacted the City of Carmel Department of Building and Code Services for assistance. Sincerely, Charles Harris, M.D. Health Officer Cc: Kevin Brennan, Code Enforcement Officer, City of Carmel OF CA �QT �LRsylA`� -City DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES \ 6Ny IAN%f� Division of Building and Code Seivices VIA CERTIFIED MAIL January 7, 2008 Joseph Steffen 4984 Waterside Circle Carmel, IN 46033 RE: PROPERTY MAINTENANCE VIOLATION Dear Mr. Steffen: This letter is being provided to inform you that it has recently been brought to the City's attention that the structure at 11739 Gray Rd., a property listed under your ownership, is in violation of Carmel City Code §6-220 the Property Maintenance Code. The following are the sections of code in violation: (1) §6-222 (c) 1 General. The exterior of a structure shall be maintained in good repair, structurally sound and sanitary so as not to pose a threat to the public health, safety or welfare. (2) §6-222 (c) 5 Exterior walls. All exterior walls shall be free from holes, breaks, and loose or rotting materials; and maintained weatherproof and properly surface -coated where required to prevent deterioration. (3) §6-222 (g) 3 Interior Surfaces. Floors, walls (including windows and doors), ceilings and other interior surfaces shall be maintained in good, clean and sanitary condition. Peeling paint, cracked or loose plaster, decayed wood and other defective surface conditions, including mold spores, shall be eliminated. (4) §6-222 (g) 6 Free from Dampness. In every building and all portions of the building including, but not limited to, basements and crawl spaces shall be maintained to prevent conditions conducive to mold formation, decay or deterioration of the structure. The eastern exterior wall (window wall) of the 2"d floor bedroom is extremely weak and structurally unsound. This wall does support part of the roof and if it failed a portion of the roof structure would collapse. Additionally, there is water intrusion into the electrical panel box in the basement causing the breakers to trip. No water can be allowed to penetrate this electrical box and all precautions must be taken to ensure that both of these issues are corrected immediately. Please make the required corrections and/or repairs to the structure by January 31, 2008. Failure to comply will result in further enforcement action. If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at (317) 571- 2423. Thank you for your cooperation.
