At that time a permit was issued for the <br /> roof work but the roof extension was not part of the permit. The roof extension is over the front <br /> entrance and extends approximately three feet beyond the existing roof line and is approximately <br /> 14 feet wide. <br /> City Staff recommends approval of the after-the-fact front yard and side yard setback variances. <br /> Merz had nothing to add to Staff's report. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Lindquist inquired why a building permit was not obtained for the overhang. <br /> Merz stated he obtained the building permit for the roof in 1998, and did not utilize it in 1998. Merz <br /> indicated sometime between 1998 and 1999,they decided to change the entrance into the house,with <br /> the work commencing in 1999. <br /> Stoddard inquired how the City became informed of the overhang. <br /> Hawn indicated the City learned of the new overhang at the time a neighbor came in requesting a <br /> variance. <br /> PAGE 11 <br />
