Dear Community:Re: Site Permit application
Enclosed you will find a permit request filled out to the best of my ability at this time. We wish to
build an Agricultural use bam in which we hope to include a hay loft over approximately 1/3 of
the area of the Bam which we believe to be a 60'X40'- approximately 30' high steel and wood
stmcture with a conventional "Bam" style roof. Three sides of the bam would be metal the side
facing into the property would be wood faced to maintain an authentic bam look. The bam would
contain a wash room with a head, shower, sink and water heater, equipment repair area, and open
storage area for grain, hay, and other farm equipment. The floor would be of cement as would the
apron leading into the bam.
A well and septic tank would be installed by an area contractor, electrical work, plumbing, and
other support contracting would be completed by area contractors. This phase of the project which
we call Snow Valley Farms Inc. we hope to complete by August of 1993. We believe we are
closing on the property around June 1, 1993. We are at the gathering bids stage now and will have
any and all appropriate contractors contact the Land Management department when they are
determined.
The second phase of the project includes the building of a Log Style home which we hope to
complete between late 1994 and early 1995 depending on the weather and other usual factors. For
this permit I wanted the community to know our plans which include building a Bam, pasture
area, nature trail, and log home over a 2 to 3year span. The Bam is 60x40', the home 50x30
(excluding a porch and deck - of 12' in two directions), the pasture will be the area between om
bam and the lot line of our neighbors to the south who presently raise cattle on their pasture land
abutting this pasture. The nature trail will be bmsh cut and travel throughout the property, and
would be used for walking, horseback riding, garden placement, and nature areas. In reading over
the regulations we did not find a permit application for the tree trimming and brush cutting but will
be happy to apply if that is required by any other source or mle.
The Snow Valley Farms projeet is a family agricultural project which will, we hope, enhance the
area, and provide our family with an opportunity to participate with Draft horses, farming issues,
gardening, and local interests.
We would appreciate your issuing a permit covering the project as discussed. I have included a best
attempt drawing to describe how it might look on completion.
Thank you,
M.E. Linda Stevenson,

Dear Pat:
Thank you for your assistance on the phone on Friday. Enclosed per your request are the
following:
1. $50.00 fee for permit application
2. Variance apphcation with fee (in case it is needed)
3. Grid of where bam will be located
The bam will be 24 ft. in height which isn't terribly high. Perhaps this could make a difference in
whether I need to go through the long drawn out process of a variance. Again, I appreciate your
help in this matter. Give me a call if you need anything else.
Best Regards,
Linda Stevenson
