Charlie said that a 3 ft. cantilever is not allowed on a 7 ft. deck. Jonathan wanted to know if there was a revised site plan. The Board noticed that the deck was already built prior to the application for the variance relief. Charlie commented that the house does not match the permit that was applied for.
