Rowe ,~H!III:'N,.JjJ I,m I~ I~S ' June 11, 1985 The meeting was called to order by Chairman John L. Pitts. All Board members were present. Robert Clause re: Building Requirement Appeal: Mr. 'Clause was present when Rachel Nathanson, Assistant Planner, explained to the Board that a building permit for a 6,700 square; foot extension to Mr. Clause's house on Phinney Lane in Port Ludlow had been granted and when the final inspection was done the Building Inspector noticErloo areas that are out of compliance: 1) the railing around the house (and the extension) . is 30 inches high while the current building code requires that it be 36 inches in height and 2) the spaces between the cross members of the railings are 13 inches wide while the 1979 Uniform Butidtng Code, that defines the County's requirement~ allows only 9 inch spacing Mr. Clause is requesting an appeal from these requirements based on his opinion that the safety of the railing height is not a problem for him and there is no way to maintain the aesthetic;.appearance of the house if he is required to raise the railing 6 inches on the portien that fron~,the new addition to the house. Mr. Clause advised that he was out of the area when the contractor he had hired) finished the addition to his house and he was not aware that the contractor had not closed out the building permit. The question, Chairman Pitts advised is one of who is responsible if someone is injured) if the County grants this variance to the code. After disoussion of the changes in the Uniform Building Code since the house was built and the possibility of the County havillng further liability for the railing on the balance of the house and not; just on the addition, Mr. Clause noted that the possible County liability would not be dimin- ished unless the whole railing was raised the six inches required. He also added that he has a way to reduce the spacing between the c~oss- members of the railing by adding a frame. Chairman Pitts asked that the Building Department research the original permit and report back to the Board. When the Board has this information, he told Mr. Clause that the BBilding Inspector would call him in the morning to let him know the Board's decision. (See Planning Department Business).
