| 06/11/2026 | Site Engineering Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | Permit Activity Number: TD-DEV-0526-00137 (1st Review) Project: 1. Existing Site Conditions & History Structures: Two metal carports and one (1) 6-foot yard wall were originally constructed in 2023 without a building permit. The metal carports were manufactured and placed on wheels, functioning as temporary or mobile units. 2. Purpose & Public Safety Justification Hazard Identification: Because the existing metal carports are on wheels, they lack structural anchoring. This poses a significant safety risk regarding wind-uplift, shifting, and potential structural failure, which could result in property damage or personal injury. Proposed Corrective Action: The primary purpose of this Minor Development Plan is to bring the unpermitted 2023 structures into full code compliance. The proposed scope of work includes: Retrofitting and securing both metal carports onto engineered, permanent concrete footings to ensure long-term structural integrity and public safety. Performing necessary structural and cosmetic improvements to the carports to align with local building and aesthetic standards.
