a. I assume we would need a permit to do this paver patio? A new patio would be covered under the Zoning Permit <br /> Application as a minor land alteration permit. The driveway permit box should be checked as well as we don't <br /> have a specific line item for a patio. <br /> b. What would the side yard set back be for the patio? The closest part of the existing concrete pool apron is about 13ft <br /> from the side property line. If the patio is at ground level it can be as c/ose as 2 feet to the lot line. <br /> 3. What is the side yard setback for a low deck that is less than 18 inches above grade? If that deck has no railing, it <br /> can be within 2 feet of/ot line. Once a deck reaches a height where it requires a railing(30") the total of deck and <br /> railing is 6'+in height and must meet the required 30'side setback. <br /> 4. What are the code requirements in regard to a gas fired fire pit? Can I find this type of information on your website? <br /> You should review this issue with Lyle Oman 952.249.4625. If additional hardcover or structure is included it will <br /> have to meet the 25%limit(see my response to#5 below)and setbacks may apply. <br /> 5. Would I need new hard cover calculations, if whatever l do is clearly a substantial reduction of hardcover? Currently, <br /> the entire pool and concrete apron are included as "hardcover", as required for hardcover calculations. We did a home <br /> expansion in 1996 and received a hardcover variance in November 1995 to 26.7°/o (instead of 25%) in the 75-250 zone. <br /> The hardcover should be calculated as well as the proposed plan shown on a survey. Depending on the degree <br /> of work proposed on the site—patio, grading, etc a new survey may not be necessary. In any case your plans <br /> should be shown to scale on the existing survey and coordinate with the hardcover calculations. <br /> As you have indicated the pool removal will exceed the addition of the patio I am making the assumption that <br /> 25% hardcover can be achieved easily. Is this accurate? If so, this type of hardcover change can be approved <br /> administratively without a variance under the Zoning Permit application process. <br /> 6. Would it be allowable to bury concrete (and no other waste), in the deep end of the pool hole? No. <br /> Thanks for your help. I would be pleased to meet briefly with the appropriate person to discuss this further. <br /> Best regards, <br /> Tom McCune <br /> 952-473-3245 (home) <br /> 239-216-0028 (cell) <br /> z <br />
