Glatz, 24200 Beech Lane Request appeal of the order of the Building Commissioner to demolish an addition to a gar.age. Hearing request Chapter 1131.05(a). Building Commissioner Conway explained the violations on the garage addition: lumber used is laminated 1 by 4 inch in variable lengths fixed together by nails, the code requires a minimum 2 by 4 inch construction; roof and floor joists do not conform to code which refers to N.F.P.A. tables for allowable spans for.roof and floor joists and does not mention approval of splicing members,the only way he could accept the splicing together of a struc- tural member in that manner would be by an engineering design. Based on these objections and other items in the inspector's letter the structure was cited and ordered to be removed. The home owner has appealed in order to state his case before the Board and is claiming that the structural part of the addition has been in place since 1984. Mrm Conway further explained that when.Mr. Glatz started to side this structure this year, a complaint was made to the Building Department who then determined that there was no building permit arid the structure did not conform to code. This structure is to be used for the storage of firewood, and the floor is just dirt, which Mre Conway advised is not a code violation but does allow entry to rodents. Chairman Burk administered the oath to Mre and'Mrs. Glatz, and their neighbors, J. Wagner, C. Jackson, Mr, and T'Irs. Sommervilleg all of whom stated that. they had no objection to the structure. A4r. Burk read a letter from G. Fanta, a resident of 24188 Beech Lane, who also advised that he did not find the addition unfavorable in any manner. Mr. Glatz advised that he would replace the spliced rafters with solid treated rafters; replace the current studs with solid 2 by 4 inch treated studs; and will reside both the garage and the addition with a vinyl siding. Mr. Conway advised that to comply with code he will have to put in roof inember (joists) spaced at 16 inches on center; install 2 by 4 inch which are in one piece under- neath the p]ates tosupport the joists; the bottom plate would have to be a pressure treated plate; the window would have to be scraped, sanded, caulked, etc, to make them operable and weather tight, and that the viny]_ siding could be placed over the existing material. He further advised that the logs on the ground would be condusive to rodents and a hard surface floor
