Zoning File #1587 <br />September 12, 1990 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Please review Exhibits B and I. The applicant has listed a <br />hardship '-iting the City staff had mislead the applicant in <br />making necessary alterations to the deck that was under <br />construction. In the building staff's chronology, the <br />applicant's builder was advised of the need to obtain a building <br />permit for the siding of the residence structure without a <br />building permit. During the time the builder was awaiting the <br />issuance of a building permit for the siding, he then proceeded <br />with the construction of the rear deck. At later inspections, <br />the Building staff discovered the deck under construction and <br />advised once again of the need for a building permit. All work <br />was to cease at that inspection (May 14, 1990). The builder <br />continued to work without a building permit and proceeded to make <br />other alterations and completed the deck. <br />It would appear that the applicant or applicant's <br />representative has created the hardships in not following the <br />proper procedures through the process of a building permit <br />review. The Planning Commission should allow Mrs. Siford her <br />opportunity to address the City as the applicant may not be aware <br />of the staff's interactions with the builder on those specific <br />dates noted in the staff chronology (Exhibit I) <br />Options of Action - <br />1. Denial and require immediate alteration of the deck so that <br />it meets the required 10' setback from the detached <br />accessory structure. Applicant to obtain a building permit <br />for the deck construction with penalty fee, <br />2. Approval as proposed, granting a 5' separation setback and <br />requiring the installation of a fire wall within the <br />existing garage (south wall of garage).
