See explanation on application

Rick Gavin
Legislative Hearing Staff Comments
No hearing necessary. It appears from the measurements that the only problem with the window dimensions is that the minimum sill height is 58", rather than 48".
Variance Recommendation
Yes, 10 inches in the minumum sill height of the egress window opening, if 2 steps of standard dimensions are installed and permanently affixed to the wall.

RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul City Council hereby accepts and adopts the Legislative Hearing Officer's recommendation in this matter.
