Captain Gaddie,
The California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection SRA Fire Safe Regulations
Section1270.08, allows us to request a variance for property listed above to the
authority having jurisdiction. Please consider my request for a variance per the
California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection SRA Fire Safe Regulations section
1276.01.
Section 1276.01(a) states: That for parcel one acre and larger, a minimum 30 foot
setback for buildings and accessory buildings is required and Section 1276.01(b) states:
For parcels less than 9 acre, the local jurisdiction shall provide for the same practical
effect. I have attached a proposed site plan providing additional detail to clarify the
requested variance.
On the attached site plan, I have installed a new metal storage shed that would be
placed 10 feet from the east property line. The shape of the property and the previous
building shed site made it the only choice for placing a new structure. To mitigate fire
concerns, I have provided 200 feet of defensible space for the length of our property
and to the properly lines for the width of our property.
I do thoroughly understand and have great appreciation for defensible space and will
ensure that this proposed variance does not present an additional fire hazard or risk to
my property.
I sincerely appreciate your consideration of this variance.
Respectfully,
k--?)
John & Penny Vaughn
