Joyce,
The gas fire pit itself is considered hardcover. When you are talking about small rock with no under
sheeting... I'm assuming you mean to place around the fire pit. Rock of any size used as a path or
patio is considered hardcover.
The last survey and hardcover calculations in our file are from 1993 when the variance was approved.
The survey shows the proposed house and at that time as-built surveys were not required. If you can
provide current calculations that show you have some additional hardcover within your 1993 variance
we could probably allow the fire pit. If not, and you are at or above the 1993 approved levels, the
answer would be no.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Auto forwarded by a Rule
I am hoping to install a gas fire pit. I am seeking to comply with all codes. We are maxed on hardcover. I am
considering small rock with no under sheeting of any kind. It will be set to the manufacturers specifications in
terms of distance from any flammable structure. Do I need to meet with you, or do you just need to inspect the
gas line and trench after it is routed from the gas source?
My address is 1180 Tonkawa Rd.
Thank you,
Joyce Byrd
