Address

Purpose of Appeal
After being granted an extension to prove homestead occupancy by the Asst Fire Marshal until August 31, I need to appeal the determiniation Fire Marshal Owen (copy enclosed) that I must still comply with all deficiencies stated in the re-inspection letter (enclosed). Specifically, as a homesteading owner, I should not be required to comply with deficiencies and requirements imposed on rental properties. I am appealing # 7, 15, & 17 for removal from compliance. I am reqwuesting adequate time to work on #s 12 & 8 as these will require more time and expense to complete. Also request chance to present evidence of my work toward personally occupying this property since purchase in 2009. Thank you.
