STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
condition:
1. The staircase shall meet the City of Beaumont Building
Codes.
Jerry Hatton has applied for a certificate of appropriateness
to allow the construction of an exterior staircase on the east
side of his house at 1825 Broadway and the replacement of the
existing attic window with a steel door.
Mr. Hatton was issued a stop work order for having done
construction without any certificates of appropriateness or
building permits. When asked the purpose of the staircase and
door installation, Mr. Hatton stated that the its purpose was
to provide easier access to the attic. The property is zoned
RCR-H. Any other allowed use other than single family would
require a specific use permit.
The staircase and the door are to be painted to match the house.
When the house is viewed from the front, the staircase is barely
visible.
Upon inspection of the staircase, the City Building Inspector
noted that if Mr. Hatton intends to put a door at the top of
the landing, it may not meet City Code standards for adequate
clearance area.
Exhibits are attached.
