Since your parents have your as the renter, the request for modifications would have to come from them. And the medication plans has to be approved by the Board prior to work being done. Honestly, I am super-fast about replying, because I don't like to hold people up, but I also adhere to the procedures to make sure everything is done right. And I really have never declined anyone unless it affects the building structure itself. One thing is to double check with the Town for any permits. I know if there is structures (wooden) you will need a permit, including decks. I went with a cement deck, no permit, and it doesn't rot. The dimensions allowed is 12x12. It is a Fire Code of the City that you cannot have a BBQ grill within 10' of the building structure. Also keep in mind, that if driving, heavy equipment is used on the property that affect like the lawn, or any debris you are responsible for cleaning and fixing. When mine was done, I had to reseed the lawn where they drove on it. I need to mention it, because sometimes people forget. Railings.. cannot be attached to the side of the building. There is absolutely nothing allowed to be drilled/attached to the building structure at all. If you wanted to put up a spoke type railing, I really don't see an issue with it, but it would need to be 3' or lower, nothing over 3 feet high. You cannot build a fortress on your deck =) If you want to have benches, sure, but cannot be outside of the 12x12' perimeter. So, if you build a new deck that is 12x12, and the bench seating is 1' wide, then the open area you have is reduced. You cannot have a 12x12 open space and then take another foot out for bench seating. See below drawing for clarity. And remember to leave yourself enough space for a grill. No structures can be erected to “pen” in animals either. I know there have been several dog owners that would like to erect their decks into an outside area to let their dog out there, without a leash thinking it is ok. It is not. Because the backyard/courtyard is common area, dogs are not allowed out there. They can be on the deck, with the owner present, but no static leashing is allow or without supervision. I have a dog myself, and I have to follow the same rules as everyone else as well. Would love to have my Lab in the pool, but , can’t do that either. I hope I have given you ample information, but if you have more questions please feel free to contact me I will try to be as informational as possible 3 Best, Elizabeth -----Original Message----- From: Adam Benner <benner.adam@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 7, 2024 1:59 PM To: Elkins, Elizabeth A. <Elizabeth.Elkins@uvmhealth.org> Subject: Unit 4 forest park Hello Elizabeth, 4 Thank you very much!
