Re: Building Code Violation at 11 Ann Ave, Uncasville, Ct
Violation consists of Construction of a membrane structure(s) without the required permit(s)
Per section 3103 of the 1996 BOCA National Building Code portion of the Connecticut State
Building Code, membrane structures erected for a period of 90 days or longer must meet all
applicable provisions of the code. Chapter 16 of the Connecticut Supplement to the BOCA
National Building Code portion of the Connecticut State Building Code requires that all
structures be designed for a roof snow load of 30psf and a basic wind speed (for Montville) of
85mph.

If your structure does not meet the wind and snow load requirements, it may not be constructed
as a permanent structure. In that case, you may apply for a permit to construct the membrane
structure as a temporary structure, under section 3104.0 of the 1996 BOCA National Building
Code portion of the Connecticut State Building Code. This permit must be renewed every 180
days. Permit application and applicable fee must accompany all permit renewal requests.
In order to obtain a permit you must furnish the following:
1) Completed application form
2) Zoning approval
3) Health approval (non-applicable if on sewer)
4) Engineering data for wind speed and snow load (not required for temporary permits)
5) Applicable fee
All membrane structures either must comply with these regulations or be removed.
PLEASE NOTE: The Town of Montville has chosen to waive the Building Permit Fee for any
membrane structure constructed on or before January 31, 2001. For temporary permits, this
waiver is for the first (6) six-month temporary permit only. All subsequent renewals will be
subject to payment of the applicable Building Permit fee.
Please contact the Building Department with a plan of compliance within ten (10) days of
receipt of this notice to avoid legal action.
If you have any questions, please contact Vernon Vesey or Joseph Summers at the Building
Department.
