I _____________________________________, am requesting authorization to install a storage shed/play house / pet house (circle one) behind my home. I am aware of the guidelines as stated in the Storage Shed/Play House/Pet House Policy and I agree to comply. I understand that all installation, tear down and maintenance expenses are my responsibility. I am aware that upon move out I will remove the storage shed, play house, or pet house and restore the area to its original condition. All requests take a minimum of 24 hours to be approved or declined.

If your structure will require any tie downs into the ground, you will need to proceed to the next step and request a dig permit.

IMPORTANT: Installation cannot begin until you have received confirmation from LMC that all approvals and locates have been completed.

I have made contact with my District Office, to begin the locate process. I understand the work order number does not constitute an authorization to dig and that installation cannot begin until locates are complete on-site and my form has been approved by my District Office. (You will receive a confirmation call from the Maintenance Department that the process is complete and installation can begin.

If your structure will not require any tie downs into the ground, please notate that on your drawing and turn in to your District Office.

Please use the back of this paper to provide a drawing with the location, size, and type of materials, requested paint colors and method of installation.
