� . . • Hi Melanie, We are looking into our options to fix the deck to conform to the setback. Does the deck need to be changed before we get our $10,000 back that we put down with you before we closed? Thanks!

I do not have the ability to approve/accept an as-built plan that does not conform to the setbacks without the Council's approval of a setback variance. The City asked for but did not require an updated survey for just the deck construction part of the project as the survey for the home construction was very recent. Your permit application contained a sketch of the proposed deck on a reduced copy of the approved home permit survey. You could have chosen to re-survey and stake the proposed deck as is always recommended, however this deck was permitted based on the best information (existing survey and deck plans) to save you the cost of additional survey work. As part of the construction project the setbacks should have been staked on site prior to construction to assure no encroachments. I'm happy to work toward a solution on this issue with you.

The builder will be submitting the official as-built with some other small revisions later. But I wanted to discuss the deck with you again. The previous survey showed 12.6 feet which you explained was the issue before because it did not match the as-builtsurvey. The deck plans that were submitted (also attached) indicated 12 feet from the back of the house which now matches the attached revised survey. With this update, the deck is 14 inches in the setback. Please call me at 651-253-7911 at your earliest convenience to discuss. Thanks, Steve 2
