Upon motion made the minutes of the March 12, 1998 meeting were approved.
Appeal Requests:
Frank Bean of Beacon Properties, requested a variance from Section 315,
Handrails/Guardrails, of the 1995 CABO Code for One and Two Family Dwellings, for a
residence under construction at 2851 Questa Circle. Section 315 requires handrails on at
least one side of stairways of three or more risers. Mr. Bean requested that the handrail be
omitted on the front porch steps. Mr. Bean stated that the brick porch, whose steps run
across the full width of the porch, was copied after the porch on the residence across the
street, which has no handrails. He also noted that the buyer of the house does not desire the
handrails. Dave Alberson motioned that the variance be granted as requested. Bruce Hacker
seconded the motion and motion passed on a 5-0 vote in favor. Tony Sebek then motioned
that the variance be amended by requiring the variance be contingent upon the submittal of a
letter from the buyer of the house stating his consent to the variance and accepting the liability
of such. Dave Pfeiffer seconded the motion and motion passed with a 5-0 vote in favor. Mr.
Bean stated that he would submit the letter from the owner to the Division of Inspection
Services within the next week.
