A
Good
morning,
everyone,
if
you
don't
know
me
I'm,
Dave,
green
I'm,
the
PLI,
permitting
supervisor
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
poles
and
decks
overview
of
what
we'll
talk
about
today.
Why
do
we
require
permits
type
of
permits
required
type
of
documentation,
required,
pull
requirements,
an
overview
of
a
deck
guide,
inspections
and
common
issues
with
these
types
of
permits?
A
So
why
are
permits
required
for
poles?
They
serve
as
an
attractive
temptation
for
small
children
which
could
lead
to
accidental
drowning?
That's
why
there
are
a
fair
amount
of
provisions
regarding
barriers
around
poles
to
prevent
access
by
these
occupants,
and
then
also
there
is
a
hazard
for
accidental
shock
due
to
improper
installation
and
or
location
of
electrical
equipment
in
relation
to
the
pool
for
decks.
A
There's
potential
for
structural
failure,
so
common
things
for
the
decks
to
fail.
Your
connection
method
to
the
primary
structure,
your
ledger
connection
to
the
house:
that's
often
a
location
where
it
might
fail.
If
you
have
improper
connections
actual
method,
either
nails
are
bolting
to
the
house.
If
that
fails,
the
deck
can
collapse.
You
have
instances
where
improper
flashing
at
that
connection
with
the
house
that
can
erode
the
connections
to
the
house
that
could
lead
to
failure.
A
You
have
instances
where
there's
improper
bracing
at
the
posts
for
the
deck,
which
could
also
lead
to
failure
issues
with
railings,
either
them
not
being
properly
connected
to
the
deck
itself
or
designed
and
properly
so
follow
up
after
this.
If
you
go
to
our
website,
the
power
point
will
be
there,
encourage
you
to
follow
that
link.
It
has
an
overview
about
seven
common
structural
problems
with
decks
that
lead
to
failure.
A
A
If
it
is
any
other
type
of
pool
that
is
permanent
in
nature,
it
would
require
a
building
permit
in
addition
to
the
occupancy
permit
for
a
deck
if
it
is
uncovered
and
30
inches
maximum
above
grade,
an
occupancy
permit
would
be
required
only
if
any
other
types
of
decks
would
require
a
building
permit.
So
if
it's
taller
than
30
inches
above
grade,
if
it's
covered,
it
would
require
a
building
permit.
A
And
then,
in
terms
of
process
for
these
permits,
if
you're
not
familiar
for
an
occupancy
permit,
the
application
would
begin
in
zoning.
They
would
require
a
site
plan
or
a
site
survey.
They
will
review
it
for
compliance
with
the
zoning
code,
which
would
include
applicable
setbacks
based
on
the
zoning
district
and
then
on
PL
eyes,
part.
We
will
generally
process
these
type
of
applications.
Over-The-Counter
once
the
applicable
Pia
fee
is
paid
for
a
building
permit
process
is
similar.
A
A
If
construction
drawings
are
required,
those
drawings
will
then
be
logged
into
our
design
review
queue
for
residential
applications.
Initial
submission
is
anticipated
to
be
reviewed
in
approximately
15
business
days.
If
construction
drawings
are
not
required,
those
type
of
applications
should
be
able
to
be
processed
over
the
counter
so
for
pools.
The
type
of
documentation
for
most
pools.
All
we
would
require
is
a
completed
residential
building,
permit
application
if
it's
custom
built
pulled,
and
we
would
require
construction,
drawings,
prepared
and
sealed
by
a
PA
licensed
architect
or
engineer
for
decks.
A
We
have
essentially
two
options
in
terms
of
documentation
of
the
actual
design
of
the
deck.
We,
of
course,
would
require
an
application.
We
have
a
application
form
specific
to
decks
in
terms
of
the
structural
or
framing
information.
The
first
option
is
to
fill
out
this
application
form
and
identify
that
you
are
designing
the
deck
to
the
prescriptive
requirements
of
American
wood
councils
designed
for
code
xx
in
number
six.
It's
a
prescriptive
guide
on
how
to
design
all
elements
of
the
deck.
A
Secondarily,
if
you
fall
outside
of
the
parameters
of
this
form
of
documentation,
we
would
require
drawings,
prepared
and
sealed
by
a
licensed
architect
or
engineer.
I'll
talk
more
about
that
here
in
a
minute
and
then
pulls
there
are
additional
requirements
that
we
would
not
review
for
when
you're
in
the
office.
A
A
Additional
requirements,
if
the
house
serves
as
a
barrier
you're
required
to
either
have
a
power
safety
cover
or
an
alarm,
with
an
audible
warning
for
any
doors
that
open
out
on
to
the
pool
if
it's
an
above-ground
pool
that
serves
as
a
barrier,
the
latter
are
steps
and
need
to
be
capable
of
being
secured
or
removed,
or
you
have
to
have
an
additional
barrier
to
prevent
access
again
for
children
or
infants
there
are.
Additional
requirements
can
be
found
in
appendix
G
of
the
2009
international
residential
code.
We're
going
to
these.
A
A
We
require
this
again
to
prevent
the
potential
for
anyone
getting
shocked
due
to
the
installation,
so
we're
going
to
review
that
the
proper
in
wiring,
proper
wiring
methods
are
used,
so
that
includes
type
of
wiring,
its
location.
In
relation
to
the
pole,
that
electrical
devices
and
equipment
are
again
located
in
appropriate
distances
in
proximity
to
the
hazard
of
the
pole
and
then
that
the
pole,
structure
and
xod
associated
equipment
and
water
is
effectively
bonded.
A
This
creates
equal
potential
between
all
of
these
elements
and
yourself
or
anyone
using
pool
and
prevents
electrical
shock
to
them
and
then
separately.
What
is
referred
to
as
grounding
is
providing
an
effective
path
for
electrical
surge
through
the
system
back
to
earth
and
that
protects
the
pool
and
associated
equipment.
But
all
of
these
elements
we
would
review
in
the
field
and
again
this
is
to
remove
hazards
to
anyone
in
or
around
the
pool
and
also
to
protect
the
equipment.
A
And
then
we
were
going
to
dive
into
the
deck
guide
a
little
bit
more,
possibly
we'll
see,
but
at
first
just
to
go
over
limitations
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
In
terms
of
this
use,
the
guide
itself
requires
the
minimum
six
by
six
post
and
then
additionally,
on
our
end
in
terms
of
drawing
a
line
in
the
sand,
we
are
limiting
this
to
a
maximum
of
a
single
story:
deck
and
one
where
the
maximum
height
is
8
feet
above
grade.
A
A
The
preservative
treatment,
because
some
species
are
so
dense.
They
require
microscopic
holes
to
be
drilled
into
them
to
allow
penetration
of
the
preservative
treatment,
so
that
additionally
decreases
the
structural
capacity.
The
way
this
is
set
up
is
first,
you
size,
the
joists
and
those
are
based
on
the
span
of
the
joists.
A
There
are
prescriptive
guidelines
in
terms
of
the
pattern
spacing
of
the
attachment
method
to
the
house,
depending
on
the
framing
as
well
and
then
in
terms
of
stability.
The
residential
code
requires
the
deck
to
be
designed
to
resist
all
loads,
including
lateral
loads,
so
to
keep
the
decks
from
twisting
and
failing
so.
A
This
guide
walks
you
through
two
methods,
one
would
be
lateral
load,
tie-down
devices.
These
are
essentially
two
l-shaped
brackets
that
have
a
threaded
law.
Rod
connected
to
each
other.
One
is
placed
on
interior
framing
member
of
the
house,
and
the
second
member
is
attached
to
the
deck
joist
and
this
tied
the
two
together
and
if
the
deck
starts
to
move
it
kicks
back
against.
The
house
keeps
the
deck
from
moving.
You
would
require
two
of
these
per
deck.
A
The
other
option
is
to
provide
diagonal
bracing
at
the
corners
and
sides
of
the
deck
between
the
post
and
the
beams.
So
common
problems,
I
think,
would
be
the
next
part
of
the
PowerPoint.
What
we
find
they
happen
all
along
the
process,
one
would
be
the
location
or
size
of
the
deck
is
not
as
approved
by
zoning.
A
We
might
find
that
during
review
plan,
review
or
potentially
insight,
others
are
not
reviewed
for
particular
conditions
and
zoning,
such
as
a
stork
district,
like
I
mentioned
before,
or
potentially
for
environmental
factors
such
as
undermining
landslide
prone
areas,
steep
slopes.
Those
would
require
additional
review
of
the
design
of
it.
A
In
terms
of
our
review
process,
we
find
that
people
will
try
to
use
the
prescriptive
compliance
with
the
deck
guide
for
conditions
that
aren't
applicable.
So
you
have
a
cantilever
deck,
you
might
have
wrong
size
posts,
multi-story,
decks,
etc.
On
the
inspection
side,
we
find
people
performing
work
without
inspections.
