Y <br /> DATE: June 12, 2013 <br /> TO: Lyle Oman <br /> RE: 2510 Old Beach Road,deck replacement. <br /> Lyle, <br /> Attached you will find the building permit application, building plans and other required information. <br /> As mentioned in our April phone conversation, this past autumn, I began replacing an aging decking <br /> system off the back of my home. I have since become a bit more familiar with the requirements relating <br /> to deck building permits in our city. <br /> The old deck consisted of three basic parts; one island and two walk-outs (1-from the screen porch and <br /> 1-from the back door). My intent is/was to replace the two walk-outs, eliminate the island and run the <br /> deck the full length of the back of the house. <br /> As you are aware, some of the work on the deck project had been completed absent the proper <br /> permitting, including; the screen porch walk-out and the deck across the back of the house. I have not <br /> begun the walk-out off the back door(photos attached). I recognize this may be a concern for your <br /> department. I hope this narrative will provide you some reassurance. <br /> In reviewing your on-line "deck information sheet", it appears the portion of the deck I have built so far <br /> closely conforms to the structural guides in your literature. However, several footings had been poured <br /> without your visual inspection. Though I am confident these footings were dug to exceed the 42" <br /> minimum depth, the bottom flare of 16"-18" may be pushing the Intermediate Footing size, based on <br /> your table. <br /> Building materials: All lumber is green treated. Deck screws are exterior coated deck screws. All <br /> fasteners are galvanized. Joist hangers are appropriate to joist size. <br /> The screen porch walk-out was built using the two existing footings, pinned at the footing to a 6X6 <br /> timber. It is over 30"off the ground and has been built with a 36" railing and spindles spaced slightly less <br /> than 4" apart. The 2X10(16"oc)joists cantilever the double 2X10 beam by less than 2-feet. I neglected <br /> flashing were it is attached to the house and will need to correct this. <br /> k'ir r,A)-a r <br /> ,,rr -.r tanFCr <br /> +C Cffl7ClZEE'i'EB <br /> .._.
