RE: 6277 Coppel Court, Permit # B20-0408
Captain Gaddie,
The 2020 California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection SRA Fire Safe Regulations Section1270.06 (a), allows us to request an “Exceptions to Standards” to the authority having jurisdiction.
Please consider my request for an exception per the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection SRA Fire Safe Regulations section 1276.01 (a).
Section 1276.01(a) states: All parcels shall provide a minimum thirty (30) foot setback for all buildings from all property lines and/or the center of a road. I have attached a proposed
site plan providing additional detail to clarify the requested exception.
On the attached site plan for the project on Coppel Ct. The shape of the property and the documented septic and leach line location and setbacks on the property prevent me from meeting
the required defensible space. To mitigate fire concerns, I have provided 30’ of defensible space for the length of our property and 12’+ to the property lines for the width of our
property. Additionally the home will be constructed to WUI standards and will be hardscaped on the sides of the building to add fire safety to this structure.
I have read, understood Section 1276.01 and the suggested options to provide the same practical effect. I do thoroughly understand and have great appreciation for defensible space and
will ensure that this proposed exception does not present an additional fire hazard or risk to my property.
I sincerely appreciate your consideration of this exception.
Respectfully,
Ruth Jones
