LIFE IS TOUGH, BUT SO ARE YOU!
What is Burn Boot Camp?
No matter the Burn Boot camp location, you’ll walk in to find their gyms aren’t set up like your “typical” gym. Instead of machines and treadmills, you’ll find free weights, hurdles, kettlebells, battle ropes, and so much more. The philosophy behind the lack of plug-ins comes from the idea of the body acting as the machine. “Nothing plugs in besides our computers and vacuum,” said Tina Hegna with a laugh. She is the owner of Burn Boot Camp locations in Blaine, Maple Grove, and Eden Prairie. When you work out at this gym, you’ll immerse yourself in a community of like-minded individuals who are all working toward the same goal, to feel good both inside and out. Burn Boot Camp continues to stand out from the competition with its group workout atmosphere and complimentary child watch. The challenging 45-minute group workouts are designed to meet the needs of all fitness levels, whether you are 16 or 76. Despite members working out in numbers, after the personal trainer gives a demo, each member receives one-onone time with a trainer. They walk around the group to assist form, necessary weight changes, and suggest any workout modifications. In addition to the attention on the floor, members also take part in meetings with the trainer to discuss fitness goals and the specific ways they want to be trained.
Where it All Began Prior to owning her three current Burn Boot Camp locations, Tina Hegna started attending camps at the Eden Prairie location with a promo pass. Soon after realizing the physical and mental
transformation that was possible at Burn Boot Camp, she went from personal workouts to realizing Burn is what she needed in her life. “Instantly, I loved the energy I felt as I walked in the doors. I thought, this is what I’ve been missing in my life. At Burn, there was so much new equipment I was excited to try because of the encouragement from the community and trainers. You don’t get that when you walk into a gym with your headphones in.” From the beginning, Tina noticed the health improvements that began to take shape, even if that meant she had to wake up before her family to squeeze a workout in. “I became a better wife, mom, friend, and employee, just by joining and making myself a priority again,” she beamed. As an added bonus, her kids also enjoyed the complimentary child watch while she got some quality “me time.” Tina took this new passion towards her own wellbeing and saw how she could start changing others’ lives, too. After talking with Burn Boot Camp Corporate Headquarters, she saw the opportunity to open her first location. “My reasoning for opening our Maple Grove location came from the passion to help others improve their lives. It’s incredible to see the look on their faces when they meet their goals and personal records,” she added.
Three Locations and Growing In January of 2022, Tina had the opportunity to purchase her original home gym in Eden Prairie. Thanks to the success of the three locations in Blaine, Maple Grove, and Eden Prairie, Tina plans to open a fourth location in Plymouth.

The Story of
D
akota and Ojibwe Indians hunted on the land that later became Blaine long before settlers appeared. In 1847, a government land survey crew led by Deputy Surveyor Andrew Hewett measured the perimeters of the township “by slogging through swamp and thicket and over dunes.” In his report, Hewett concluded, “The township is almost inaccessible for either man or beasts except when frozen up.” In the 1850s, speculators began acquiring land by hiring squatters with the idea of turning over ownership in the form of land patents to the speculators, who by all accounts never lived there. However, one individual, Andrew More, who purchased land in 1855, most likely lived in the township. His name appears in the 1857 census, making him possibly the first settler.
4 | BlaineMN.gov
The first permanent settler was most likely Phillip Leddy, whose name was misspelled in early historical sources as Laddy. Leddy purchased land in 1857 and 1859 near what was later called Laddie Lake, presumably named for him. He farmed there from about 1862 until his death in 1872. Leddy’s wife Bridget and three of their seven daughters continued to live on the farm until at least 1875. They then moved to Minneapolis. The township was officially organized in 1877. Moses Ripley was elected as the first chairman of the Board of Supervisors. According to local lore, Ripley, who had come to Minnesota from Maine, persuaded his fellow board members to name the new township in honor of James G. Blaine, a U.S. Senator and statesman, also from Maine. In 1880, Blaine Township had a population of 128. A former enslaved person from Kentucky also helped set Blaine on its early course to permanent settlement. Greenberry “Green” Chambers served as a private in Company H of the 115th U.S. Colored Infantry and later as a supervisor cook during the Civil War. After his 1865 discharge from the Union Army, Chambers traveled by steamboat up the Mississippi River to Minnesota with his wife and three of their five children in search of a better life. Chambers purchased a farm in Anoka County that later was lost to foreclosure. The family then settled on another farm, likely in southeastern Blaine, where Chambers served on the Township Board of Supervisors from 1878-1881 as a constable and in 1882 as a road overseer. He and his son, Green Jr., are listed as voters in the 1881 Blaine Township election.

Blaine Wetland Sanctuary S ince the late 1980s, the City has had a vision for creating a wetland classroom in the area known as the Blaine Wetland Sanctuary. In 2000, residents approved a $3.5 million bond referendum to purchase property for open space. The first purchase was the 62-acre wetland and eight-acre oak forest in the Lakes of Radisson development, which added to the city’s existing 435 wetland acres east of the Lakes of Radisson development extending south to 109th Avenue. Since that time, research has been conducted in the 500-acre open-space property west of Lexington Avenue adjacent to Anoka County Ditch 53-62. This area is part of the larger Anoka Sand

Plain, which is home to unique plant communities found in very few places anywhere in the country. Several species of rare and endangered plants were discovered and the concept of restoring the wetlands to allow those species to flourish began to take shape. Combined with the big picture of being in city open space and the prospect of adding a pavilion for public education and access for the enjoyment of nature lovers, plans were put in motion. The goal of the project is to enhance, restore, and protect three wetland community types and upland islands. The upland communities will be restored to oak forest or aspen-birch forest types. The wetland communities will be restored to
Anoka Sand Plain rich and poor fen, which are unique and rare plant community types containing two confirmed threatened and endangered species. The restoration will release the dormant native seed bank and existing rare species and their habitats will thrive and expand. The boardwalk and parking lot were completed in August 2017, giving the public the opportunity to walk from East Lake Park in the Lakes of Radisson development to the regional trail along Lexington Avenue. The parking lot was constructed off of Lexington Avenue, providing a trailhead for the boardwalk and parking for educational programming. Active management of the wetland site will continue to accomplish the plan
Cub Grocery Delivery or Store Pickup approved by the regulatory agencies, and ongoing maintenance will continue into perpetuity to remain in compliance with the approved plan. Throughout the spring, summer, and fall, crews will be out applying herbicides to control invasive species that inhibit the growth of native vegetation. Prescribed burns and over-seeding with native herbaceous species will allow the area to thrive and provide important habitat for birds and wildlife.

3M Open Links PGA Tour For almost 20 years, TPC Twin Cities in Blaine hosted the 3M Championship, a PGA Tour Champions senior event. But a new chapter of golf in Minnesota began in 2019 with the inaugural 3M Open. What started as the Burnet Senior Classic in 1993, played at Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids, transformed a bit in 2001. 3M took over as the title sponsor and the tournament moved to TPC Twin Cities, where it remained the preeminent Minnesota golf event for almost two decades. The 2018 3M Championship was the final Champions Tour event and its replacement was announced that same year. An official PGA Tour stop and part of the FedExCup series, the 3M Open got the ball rolling in July 2019 at TPC Twin Cities. The private golf club first opened in 2000, when Arnold Palmer Design consulted with golf legend and Minnesota native Tom Lehman to convert a former sod farm into a premier golf course. The grounds were long considered one of the top designs on the PGA Tour Champions circuit. To challenge golfers at the PGA Tour level, the layout received some significant upgrades and reconfigurations. Now a par 71 that plays up to 7,468 yards, the course is longer and narrower, with 27 water hazards and 74 bunkers. The event marked the PGA Tour’s first regular stop in the state in half a century. The tour stopped in Minnesota 34 times between 1930-1969. Each year a field of 156 golfers compete in the 3M Open. The tournament has been headlined by such notable names as Masters champions Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, and Dustin Johnson, and top-ranked players Brooks Koepka, Jason Day, Tony Finau, Matthew Wolff, and Bryson DeChambeau. With an annual impact of $50 million, the tournament is a major driver of economic activity in the region.

In fact, the course hosted three qualifying tournaments for the 3M Open this year. Victory Links is comprised of an 18-hole championship course, oversized grass tee driving range, and a one-of-a-kind 18-hole bent grass putting course.

Blaine Experiencing Strong Development D
evelopers are gearing up for projects during what is another big year of development in Blaine. All sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and public, are going to be busy.
House Growth Returns to Prerecession Levels Recovering from a slower year in 2020, 2021 was a strong year for residential development in Blaine. Units permitted, permits issued, and lots platted all hit their highest level since the Great Recession. 2021 also saw diversification in product types with growth in townhomes and apartments, reflecting the demand for a variety of housing options to meet the needs of current and future Blaine residents. 2021 was a record-breaking year for residential permitting in Blaine with 332 single family detached homes, 172 townhome units, and 82 apartment units, totaling 586 total units permitted, the highest since 2005. Blaine was fifth among Twin Cities suburbs for residential permits issued and sixth for residential units permitted in 2021. The City anticipates strong growth to continue into 2022 with a large inventory of platted lots and several apartment projects expected to be permitted in the first half of the year.

SMALL BUSINESSES
Thrive during uncertain times Three local companies found ways to navigate the pandemic and find success.
A
key phrase in the City of Blaine’s vision statement refers to Blaine as a place where businesses thrive. Over the last two years, thriving as a business has been difficult. With a pandemic unlike the world has seen for generations, businesses were left scrambling to stay afloat, let alone thrive. Blaine is proud to be home to more than 1,400 businesses, many of them small businesses owned and operated by Blaine residents. These businesses are in many ways the lifeblood of the community. The City was able to bolster many businesses and nonprofits during this time through different financial assistance programs, providing nearly $1 million in grants. With all the assistance, programs, and resources available, each business still has a unique story and circumstances that they have endured during the pandemic.
Blaine's First Brewery Invictus Brewing Co. opened in May 2018 in the heart of Blaine across from the National Sports Center. After years of planning, a group of Blaine residents were ready to open Blaine’s first brewery. Invictus was a hit with the community, packed with locals and visitors daily. Invictus had been open for less than two years when the pandemic – and stay-at-home orders – hit, something that was never in the business plan. Gone were the overflowing parking lot and full taproom. Invictus owners had to reinvent their business on the fly. “First, I have to give most of the credit for our ability to come out of

the pandemic to our staff,” said owner Previn Solberg. “They stepped up and helped us get through the toughest of times when we were most vulnerable. When the State announced that in-person dining would be shut down on March 17, our taproom manager had our curbside pickup system in place before we opened the next day.” Previn recognized the team for not complaining or placing blame. “We accepted our reality and controlled the things we could control and did our best to mitigate the impact of the things we couldn’t,” he said. “We never lost faith that we would prevail in the end. In a lot of ways, we are better off because of it.” The pandemic brought many changes to the hospitality industry, many of which Previn believes are here to stay. Enhanced processes at Invictus include a host position to help control traffic and movement, a QR code ordering system at the table, a seating waitlist, and an online curbside ordering system. “We were forced to innovate and implement several business practices that we may not have done or thought about had the pandemic not happened,” said Solberg. “From a financial standpoint, yes, the pandemic hurt…big time. But the reality is that we will come out of the pandemic a more efficient and better-run business.” The pandemic changed the business plan for Invictus, but Solberg says they are still growing and moving forward, expanding their distribution footprint into the St. Cloud area and possibly other areas in Minnesota and other states in the coming years. In addition, they will soon outgrow their current production space and will need to expand to increase production capacity.
“We’re always trying to develop new products in all of our three categories: beer, hard cider ale, and hard seltzer,” Solberg said. “We constantly challenge ourselves to do something different and innovative, but that’s getting increasingly more difficult as so many breweries are doing a lot of cool and innovative stuff. It’s harder to be unique anymore. It’s challenging us to be better, and we embrace the challenge.”
THE FUN LAB
Keeping Fun Alive The Fun Lab, did what they could to hang on during the early days of the pandemic, but without the ability to welcome customers into their interactive space, they eventually had to close for good. At least that’s what they thought. A new partner helped bring The Fun Lab back to life in 2021. When Jim and Marilyn Webber opened The Fun Lab in a portion of a former Gander Mountain store, they brought their vision of a family entertainment center to life. Both had long careers and they were looking for something new. Blaine residents since 2005, they thought the community could use this type of venue. After much planning, they opened their doors in January 2019. They were continuing to invest in the business and grow their brand in the community when the pandemic suddenly closed their doors. “During the mandatory lockdowns for the pandemic, our type of business was closed for several months,” Jim Webber shared. “When we were finally able to reopen with restrictions, the public was uncomfortable with returning to an indoor venue such as ours. Without customers, we were not able to operate any longer and the business closed in August. Our bank took over The Fun Lab and made a decision to sell the business.” But the story of The Fun Lab does not end there. With the bank looking to sell the business, Webber reached out to several groups to see if they would be interested in buying The Fun Lab. None were able to reach a deal with the bank. The bank finally sold the business to the landlord of the building, but because the landlord did not want to operate the business, he also wanted to sell. “We were very fortunate to find another local investor that heard about our story,” said Webber. “He was able to make a deal with the landlord and purchased The Fun Lab. The investor brought me on as a partner/manager to operate The Fun Lab again.” The Fun Lab reopened in July 2021, and the Webbers were excited to be given a second chance. “The Fun Lab was a huge part of us,” Webber said. “We are so grateful for the opportunity.”
Taking the Leap As businesses like Invictus and The Fun Lab were trying to survive, business partners and sisters-in-law Christie and Amanda Dewey, the owners of Reverie Boutique & Co., decided that a pandemic was the perfect time to open a new business. Well, maybe not perfect – but it sure was adventurous. Christie knew that she wanted to own and operate a boutique business and with Amanda’s 16 years of experience in the salon industry, it felt like the right time to make the leap and combine forces to create a unique combination space. “Timing is everything. Had it not been for the pandemic, I don’t know that I would have gone through with it,” Christie said. “My husband had been working from home since the beginning of the pandemic and that helped immensely with school schedules, kid schedules, and just in general offsetting the time I would be away from home.” Reverie is a boutique with size-inclusive apparel options, accessories, and gifts as well as a full-service hair salon right in the store, allowing for a focus on truly helping customers look and feel their best. The planning for this innovative concept during the pandemic, meaning what might have been a new reality for many business owners was simply reality at Reverie. “I don’t think the pandemic changed our business model,” she continued. “We opened on Friday the 13th in November 2020, and our thought was we could only go up from there. Shipping times and inventory issues that were an upheaval for others were totally normal for us because we didn’t know differently.” Private shopping parties became another norm, giving people a way to connect socially, enjoy one another’s company, and cater to the uniqueness of 2021. “The pandemic helped us get a firm footing in the community,” Christie said. “I think people realized how important small businesses are to the community and we really saw that support last year. From our perspective, people are much more intentional about where they put their money. We are incredibly grateful for all the community support, and we want to be a staple in the community.” OWNERS OF REVERIE BOUTIQUE & CO., CHRISTIE AND AMANDA
Three unique businesses all navigating the pandemic in their own way. Finding ways to stay afloat and even chances to thrive.

In May 1985, the Blaine Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) was established to promote economic development.

SBM Fire Department Residents incorporated the Spring Lake Fire Department on January 17, 1944 as a nonprofit corporation, starting with two pieces of apparatus and 20 volunteer firefighters. The fire district was quite large at the time and consisted of the current communities of Blaine, Spring Lake Park, Mounds View, Fridley, Arden Hills, Shoreview, and Coon Rapids. Today, the SBMFD is a dynamic, high-performing organization, which provides extraordinary all-hazard emergency response, innovative fire prevention services, and public fire education to the communities of Spring Lake Park, Blaine, and Mounds View. SBMFD currently serves a permanent population of over 87,000 residents who are dispersed throughout approximately 40 square miles. The coverage area includes the Anoka County Airport, critical state infrastructure, major regional employers, and numerous schools. The operations division provides services through a unique combination-staffing model, staffing with full-time personnel and volunteers, delivering an effective service at one of the lowest per capita costs in Minnesota. The SBMFD operates out of five fire stations, four of which are located in the City of Blaine and have an apparatus complement of six engines, two ladders, four RIV/Utility, and additional support vehicles. Weekday response combines 13 full-time SBMFD personnel with 11 full-time City of Blaine employees who are also firefighters. During the evening, weekends, and holidays, service is provided by approximately 55 volunteer personnel who respond to their assigned fire stations from their homes. In 2018, the SBMFD responded to over 1,500 calls for service within Spring Lake Park, Blaine, and Mounds View and in surrounding communities as a mutual aid partner. The community risk reduction division delivers innovative fire prevention and safety programs to the community in several focus areas. Some of these innovative and crucial programs are: after the fire care, bike helmet fittings, car seat clinics, citizens academy, first aid and CPR, home safety surveys, safety camp, senior safety fair, school education, and youth firesetter intervention. For more information visit, SBMFire.org.
Community Standards Division
Partnering for a Safer Blaine
The community standards division consists of 14 full-time staff who conduct city code compliance inspections and enforcement activities related to the fire marshal, fire inspections, rental licensing, and code enforcement. Most of the community standards staff also supports the SBM Fire Department as daytime responders to fire, serious medical calls, and vehicle crashes. Community standards staff also assists with emergency management in the City. For additional information, visit BlaineSafetyServices.com/CommunityStandards.
Blaine Safety Services actively engages in resident safety and resident awareness. Blaine Safety Services, along with the City of Blaine Parks & Recreation department, annually hosts a summer safety camp event for children entering fourth grade in the fall. This two-day event teaches the children a variety of safety precautions in a fun environment. Blaine Safety Services also holds a two-day bike helmet safety event. This is hosted annually in the spring and is an event to learn how to fit bike helmets for adults as well as children. You can bring in your own helmet for a fitting or buy one at cost at the event. Every fall, adults have an opportunity to experience what it is like to be a police officer or firefighter at Blaine’s Citizens Academy. This eight-week program helps people understand the operations of the police and fire departments and offers the chance to use some of the actual equipment that Safety Services members use daily. These are just a few examples of how the City of Blaine works cooperatively to make Blaine a safe and enjoyable place to be.
CommunityConnect CommunityConnect is made up of six initiatives: crime mapping, camera registration, community relations, Night to Unite, safety education, and security surveys. CommunityConnect is a modernized version of the old neighborhood watch and connects the entire community instead of just pockets of neighborhoods.

Recycling & Garbage Blaine has organized recycling and refuse service and contracts with Walters Recycling and Refuse for all single-family homes in the city. Three service levels are available to meet a variety of disposal needs. • Premium Service (includes six bulk items per year) • 68 Gallon Service
TIP
Unlimited single-sort recycling is included with each garbage service. All recyclable materials can be placed together loosely in the recycling containers provided. Recycling is collected every other week on residents’ designated garbage day. Walters offers seasonal yard waste pickup from April – November. Yard waste containers can be ordered directly from Walters by calling 763-780-8464.
How can you save money on your garbage bill? The best way to save money on your garbage bill, especially households at the unlimited level, is to recycle as much material as possible. These days most household waste is actually recyclable. In Blaine’s curbside recycling program, you can recycle the following items: • Newspapers and all inserts • All magazines and catalogs • Phone books • Training manuals
• Corrugated cardboard boxes cut up to fit in recycling cart (or flatten and bundle 3 feet by 3 feet by 1 foot thick, and place 3 feet from the recycling cart)
• All mixed mail including envelopes If it comes in the mail and is paper, you can recycle it.
• Box board (cake, cereal, cracker, tissue, and shoe/shirt boxes)
• All office and school papers, file folders, fax sheets, notebooks, etc.
• Tin/steel cans
• Paperback books • Brown paper bags
If you need additional carts to handle all of the materials you're recycling, you can get them at no added cost. In fact, you could save money with a smaller garbage cart if you recycle more. h ot
• 38 Gallon Service
• Aluminum cans • Glass bottles and jars (clear, brown, and green) • Plastic food and beverage containers
Please do not recycle the following items: Plastic bags, Styrofoam, plastic motor oil bottles, boxes for freezer foods, pizza boxes, any type of used tissue product. If you need additional recycling carts to handle all of the recycling material, you can get them at no additional cost. That’s right; residents can put out as much recycling as possible without an increase in cost. In fact, it could save you money by allowing you to use a smaller garbage cart. To get additional recycling carts, call Walters Recycling and Refuse at 763-780-8464. To save money and change your level of garbage service to a smaller container, call the city Utility Billing Department at 763-785-6141. For additional information, visit BlaineMN.gov/GarbageandRecycling.
New! Organics Waste Collection The City of Blaine is currently working with Anoka County to set up an organic waste collection program. The pilot program will include a free drop-off location at City Hall. The plan is to use this first location to test the participation levels and demand. If there is enough demand, additional locations will be added.
What are organics? Organics include all food scraps, most nonrecyclable and food-soiled paper, and certified compostable products.
Why should organics be removed from the trash? Approximately one-third of the waste collected weekly is recyclable, organic material. Removal of organics from your weekly trash reduces the amount of material dumped at the landfill. Once this material reaches the landfill, the collection and reuse of it is no longer feasible.
What happens to the organics? Food scraps and non-recyclable paper products are processed and turned into compost, a nutrient rich resource that improves soil and decreases the need for fertilizers.
What is the cost? This will be a free program for Blaine residents. The City is able to offer this service at no cost through a SCORE (Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment) grant.

Building Permits B
uilding Inspections reviews and inspects all new construction and remodeling within the City. All building permits and licenses, as well as Certificates of Occupancy, are issued from Building Inspections. A building permit is needed for any new construction, remodeling, sprinkler system, plumbing, heating, fence, deck, shed, in-ground pool, or mobile home setup. All Blaine building permits are obtained online. Start the process today at BlaineMN.gov/BuildingInspections.
The Simple & Easy Building Permit Process 1. T alk to Your Local Code Official. Code officials want your project to be a success and will help you avoid potential problems that could cost time and money. Residents will be asked some basic questions (What are you planning to do? Where?), advised of any requirements, and, if necessary, referred to other departments for their approval. The code official will provide you with the resources and information needed for compliance with the applicable building codes. You will then receive an application for a building permit. 2. S ubmit Application. At this stage, the applicant will document the who, what, when, where, and how of the job, along with any sketches or plans of the proposed work. Learn more at BlaineMN.gov/BuildingInspections. 3. Building Inspections. The code official will review your plans and determine if your project is in compliance with local requirements. If your plans meet these requirements, a permit is issued. If for some reason they do not, the code official will work with you to help correct the problem.
4. R eceive Permit. Now that you have been approved for a permit, you have legal permission to start construction. A fee, based on the size of the job, is collected to cover the cost of the application, the review, and the inspection process. An experienced code official is available should you have any questions concerning your project. You should consider your code official as an ally who will help you make your project a success. Typically, separate permits are required for electrical, plumbing, and heating or air conditioning work. 5. Job-Site Visits. On-site inspections are required to make certain the work conforms to the permit, local codes, and plans. Again, you will have access to the expertise of the code official to help you with questions or concerns regarding the project and to ward off potentially costly mistakes. The code official will let you know approximately how many inspections may be needed for your project. Typically, several days are needed when requesting visits. 6. F inal Approval. The code official will provide documentation when construction is completed and code compliance is determined. You will then have the personal satisfaction of a job done safely and correctly. You can enjoy your improvements with the knowledge that they meet the safety standards in your community. It takes everyone in a community to keep homes, schools, offices, stores, and other buildings safe for personal and public use. Safe construction practices help protect you, your family, your friends, and your investment. Be sure to get your local code official involved with your project, because the Building Department is on your side.

Important
Information Deck, Porch, and Addition Footing Design
M
ost homes in Blaine are constructed on corrected soil pads. This is because soil conditions prior to development were too low and often unsuitable. These corrected building pads are not much larger than the home structure. Soils outside of these corrected pads may not be suitable for the construction of decks, porches, or home/garage additions. Any proposed construction of a deck, porch, or addition may require soils corrections, or an engineer’s soils report may be required to verify minimum bearing capacity of 1,500 pounds per square foot.
How to Design Footing for a Deck or Porch
2. N on-concrete manufactured pin style footings – The permit holder is responsible for the design size, and the base area comparison must be equal to or greater than concrete footing diameter listed in the City of Blaine deck handout footing guide. These pin style footings are only permitted for decks and may not be permitted for porch footings; verify with the product manufacturer. 3. H elical piles (screw-pile) – These are permitted in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. These are long screw-like piles that can reach suitable soils without the need for soils
Areas of known poor soils require soils corrections and/or deck footings must be designed by a licensed professional engineer prior to the issuance of the permit. Please call the building inspections department for soil information in your development at 763-785-6170 as your first step in planning for your deck or porch. 1. C oncrete Footings – The permit holder is responsible for the design size, but the footings cannot be a smaller diameter than listed in the City of Blaine deck or porch handout footing guide. In lieu of using the guide in the handout, another option is to provide an engineer’s soils report to verify minimum bearing capacity and design them accordingly. Footings must still be set on sandy/ suitable soils (no black organic type soils) or the footing inspection will fail. In some developments, the depth to suitable soil may be much deeper than the 42 inch frost depth. The footing inspection will fail if suitable soils cannot be verified, and soils corrections and/or deck footings must be designed by a licensed professional engineer.
corrections. Screw-piles must be installed by a certified contractor.
Frost Footings for Home and Garage Additions The following applies to all areas in the City of Blaine that have corrected soil pads or other areas with black organic type soils at the depth of the footings. Soils corrections must be designed by a licensed professional engineer, or an engineer's soils report must be provided to verify minimum bearing capacity of 1,500 per square foot prior to issuance of the building permit.
