Schutte, Kristine <br /> From: Schutte, Kristine <br /> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 6:53 PM <br /> To: 'Alan J. Carlson' <br /> Subject: RE: Setback and Deck question <br /> Alan, <br /> I'm sending a copy of this email to the Zoning Inspector for your area, Scott <br /> Schroeckenthaler, since I'm leaving for a long weekend. Either Scott or I would need to <br /> know if you have a Zoning Permit already (what Number) and if you want to change the steps <br /> you originally planned. Whether there's a Permit or not, we would need to see the site <br /> plan of the house and deck you're describing to answer your questions. <br /> IN GENERAL: Any deck that you need to "step up on" to needs a Zoning Permit. A <br /> patio on the lake side of a house must be shown on your Shoreland Erosion Control Permit. <br /> There's a maximum size of 200 square feet for all "hard" surfaces or other structures in <br /> the Shoreland setback area (between the house and lake) , and there are some other <br /> restrictions and requirements under Section 11. 03 (5) "Minor Structures" in the Shoreland <br /> Ordinance. <br /> I 'm sure we can find a way to provide you with some kind of patio or deck, but we <br /> need more information. You can work with Scott (266-4374, schroeckenthaler @co.dane.wi.us) <br /> or wait for me to return on Tuesday. <br /> Best Regards, Kris <br /> Kris Schutte <br /> Assistant Zoning Administrator <br /> Dane County Zoning Division <br /> Department of Planning and Development <br /> 608.266. 9084 <br /> schutte @co.dane.wi.us <br /> Original Message <br /> From: Alan J.

Dr. The SW corner <br /> of the house is set back 78 feet. The SE corner of the house is set <br /> back 82 feet. I have a 3 foot stoop in my house plans that would be <br /> placed on the lake side of the house. <br /> My question is can I put on a 6 foot stoop since one corner of the <br /> house is set back 82 feet? <br /> 2) Someone told me that a deck is not considered a deck if it is less <br /> than 3 feet high, it is considered a patio. Is this correct? Can I <br /> put a 1 or 2 foot high "patio" on the lake side of my house? <br /> 3) Do I need a permit to put a brick patio on the lake side of my house? <br /> If you feel you need to call me, my cell number is: 516-8544 <br /> Thank you, <br /> 1 <br />
