A Residential Building Permit Application and a Development Permit Application (if required)  \n2. A completed Deck Construction Details Form (see page 4)  \n3. A SITE PLAN DRAWING of the proposed work with the following information:  \na. Dimensions of the proposed deck  \nb. Distance from the edge of your proposed deck to all of the property lines  \nc. Property dimensions  \nd. Locations and sizes of all other existing accessory buildings/structures  \n4. An PLAN DRAWING of the proposed deck with the following information:  \na. Length  \nb. Width  \nc. Distance between piles – Pile to Pile AND Pile to House  \nd. Location of stairs (if applicable)  \ne. If the deck is open, covered, or enclosed (lattice is considered open)  \n5. An ELEVATION DRAWING of the proposed work with the following information:  \na. Side Elevations of proposed construction  \nb. Over all height and widths  \nc. Location of basement windows (if applicable) and stairs (approximate)  \nPlease be advised that if you add an enclosed deck to your property, you may be required to obtain an updated Real Property Report when you sell your home.  \nInspection Requirements:  \nBy law, we must inspect the construction work. For open decks, one inspection at the completion of the job is adequate. If you’re enclosing your deck, an inspection after framing is complete as well as a final inspection are required.  \nEXAMPLE OF A DECK PLAN DRAWING  \nEXAMPLE OF A SURVEY DRAWING  \nEXAMPLE OF A DECK ELEVATION DRAWING  \nINSPECTION SERVICES  \nExample Only  \nHandrail Height  \nNot less than  \n34”(865mm) and not more than 38”(965mm) .  \nGuard Height:  \n36”(900mm) minimum if deck to ground is less than 6’(1 .8m)  \n42”(1070mm) minimum if deck to ground is more than 6’(1 .8m)  \nStairs  \nMinimum width 35.5”(900mm) Rise 5”(125mm) -7 7/8”(200mm) Run 8 1/4”: (210mm) -14”(355mm)  \nFoundation:  \nFor decks that have 24”(600mm) or less from the bottom side of joist to top of grade, no foundation required.
