Title
Appeal of Jeff Moore, Capital Siding and Windows, to an Egress Window Non-Compliance Determination at 1070 LEXINGTON PARKWAY NORTH.
Purpose of Appeal
We are asking for a variance on one bedroom egress window. The home's age and stucco exterior merits the use of a double hung window to preserve the appearance of the home and added cost to modify opening with stucco siding. We are installing 16 windows. Only one window does not meet egress code in bedrooms. Thanks. (paraphrased)
