Dick Putnam January 29, 1996 Page 3 In conclusion, it is the City staffs position that had you replaced the pre-existing deck under the permit issued in 1988 and as part of your home remodeling/additions at that time, such deck reconstruction would have been covered under that variance and that deck permit. However, replacement of the deck five years later after tlie original permit was finaled, is considered a new project that requires a new permit as well as hardcover variance approval before that permit can be issued. Staff does not have the authority to deal witli hardcover trade-offs when the property is over the hardcover limits. Such trade-offs, even for mere replacement of e.xisting structures, require that the variance procedure be followed. Because the deck you built in 1994 appears to match that which was approved in 1987, we could reasonably consider taking in the variance application as a renewal. Part of your submittal would have to be an updated hardcover survey by a certified surveyor. My recommendation is that you file the appropriate after-the-fact variance application for replacement of the deck. If you have further questions, please con! ict me or Jeanne Niabusth at 473- 7357.
