Building permit application update

Finally some good news. Apparently the city inspectors still cannot agree on how to calculate the unprotected opening on my south wall. And so it was escalated to upper management. On Tuesday October 16th, 2013 decision came back from upper management review. And yes upper management agreed with us that our unprotected opening conforms to Ontario Building Code requirement. So now the final hurdle has cleared and my building code review has passed.

The bad news is that apparently we are still missing some paperwork on the zoning side. But the person handling the zoning review has gone on vacation. So now I have to wait until next Monday after she came back from her vacation to try to clear whatever that’s left with zoning to get the permit going. I am half guessing that the forestry department’s letter of clearance was not sent to the building review department. And that’s why the zoning still haven’t cleared us yet.
