Well, I went to the town offices yesterday and found out that my house sits too close to the property line on the North and West Sides. Since the porch sits on the North side I have to get a special permit from the town to be able to do ANYTHING to that side of my house. And then since I want to change (and in this case I am increasing) the foot print of the structure I need to ask for a variance.
So this means that I need to finish my designs, come up with some elevations (pictures of what it will look like from the side and front) and get the plot plan (I luckily had this done a couple months ago) and bring it all to the zoning board meeting which I found out is the first week each month. They said that it usually takes a month after the decision to get the paperwork through so that I can pull a permit. So we are looking at the September Zoning board meeting (since I missed the deadline for the August one by a couple days) and then getting the permit in October so that I can get started and hopefully have it finish sometime in November.
Oh and by the way it will cost me $300 to be able to find out if the zoning board will allow me to make this change. . .
