The next step would be to apply for a special permit which you will probably get. You get to move in.

Were the pictures of that house ever shown to Steve? • " in, Steven" wrote: John, Unfortunately this still falls under the definition of accessory structure. See definitions below. As we indicated these structures cannot be located within a front yard unless they are a minimum of 150' back from the street. I have no problem with the Building Opt. issuing a Temporary CO until this matter is resolved which allows the owner to move in. In speaking with Bob on the phone he indicated that my office stated that it was ok to locate the pergola in the front yard. What you must understand is that without looking at a plan in front of us, the answer given is based on the question asked. While I do not recall fielding that phone call, I imagine that the question asked was whether a pergola could be located on a patio. Our standard response would have been and is, "yes, provided it meets the yard setbacks". Unfortunately something probably got lost in the translation.

Sorry for this confusion... John Begin forwarded message: From: John Heyrich Subject: Fwd: Pergola>hnk Date: May 16, 2014 1:33:38 PM EDT To: Hello Steven, Pursuant to our telephone conversation on 7May2014, I had forwarded to you via an email below a proposed rendering and accompanying front corner photo for the EFTA_R1_00704508 EFTA02099350  new home under construction on Oenoke Ridge Road. At your main concern was the pergola built above the front attached terrace, and our sketched idea of adding a similar bridging trellis material, within a link connection about 8 feet in width, providing physical attachment to the main house. Have you have a opportunity to review this concept and offer any comments or critique? The builder is ready to complete his final close out phases, and the owners are anxious to move in to their new home. Any expedition in the resolution of this issue would be appreciated.
