Title
Appeal of Renewal by Andersen, on behalf of Dan Baggenstoss, to an Egress Window Non-Compliance Determination at 1635 HARTFORD AVENUE.
Purpose of Appeal
We are appealing 1 replacement double hung that is located in an upper level attic. The room is being converted to be used for sleeping purposes.

September 27, 2011
Variance Recommendation
Yes, 3 inches in egress opening height. No hearing necessary.
