Citv Hall, and spoke wich Mr. Oman. lirsC, he inforT.ed me ChaC I had recieved the wrong forms, and gave me the^ ''orr^ct forms to fill out. I told him that the aeck ana roof’were not new, and I e.xplained the above mentioned situation regarding my home. I also told him I would bring in the listing photograph from the Realtor, showing that in fact there was 3l dGck. on ths homG wHgh I purchESGci ic. I tli6n wghC home, and tried to understand and complete the hardcover form, and necessary paperwork for the permit. I returned to City Kali about three days later with all my^ paoerwork and photo of the deck, and spoke with Mr. Michae*. Gaffron. He informed me that I had not completed the hardcover form correctly, and that someone would come out to my property,inspect it, and notify me of their findings. im When I returned home from one of my many road trips,(I travel for a living), I had received a letter from Mr. Gaffron stating that my permit was denied because of an increase in hardcover in the 75-250!zone, when hardcover in tnat zone already exceeded the 254 limit. He stated that the pre— “xisitng deck was 10'x28'and the new deck is 12'x32', an expansion of 0.6%. First of all, I don't know what size the pre-exisiting deck was, and since I was Cold by the City of Oronp that there never was a pre-existing deck, the first time I spoke with Mr. Oman, I do not know if this calculation is correct. I only know that the original cement slab under the deck is 27*10" x 9"9". Mr. Gaffron infcrmea me that I had two options for resolving this matter: i 1. remove enough hardcover to leave 0% in 0-75 zone and no more than 25%in 75—250 zone. 2. apply for an after the fact hardcover variance with a application fee of $175,plus after the fact investigation fee of $175, for a total of $350. As you can imagine, when I received this notice, it added to my frustration and my feelings of being victimized as a new single homeowner. Between the now bankrupt contractor and my various visits with the city, I was ready to give up. As I told you on the telephone, John Metz suggested I speak directly with you to resolve this matter. I have enclosed a separate letter to accompany try application for a variance. It is with sincere desire and concern that this matter be taken care of as soon as possible, as I will be traveling with my job for the next four months. Thanks again, for your time and advice Sincerely, Ue L • Diwclc rmiAtirtiiAr rifiitfi • iituht
