The appeal of Matthew and Amanda Potratz, owners of 1838 Haymarket Road, to appeal the cited violations of the Uniform Dwelling Code, sections, SPS 321.06 as referenced by section 16.01(b) of the Waukesha Building Code. The existing home was built in 1978, therefore, the owner is permitted to appeal the requirements as allowed in Code Section 16.17 of the Waukesha Building Code. The appellant alleges the provisions of the code do not cover the ceiling height of the basement. If the appeal is granted, the appeal would allow the ceiling height to be 6’10 ½” with a beam encroachment ceiling height of 6’ 2 11/16” and ductwork encroachment ceiling height of 6’ ½”. This is less than the required ceiling height 7’ (feet). This would vary from the requirements of the Uniform Dwelling code. The appellant alleges the provisions of the code do not cover the ceiling height of the stairway. If the appeal is granted, the appeal would allow the ceiling height at the stairway to be less than the required ceiling height of 6’4” and would allow the lowest point to be 6 “2 1/8” If the appeal is granted, the appeal would allow the ceiling height of the stairway to be less than the required 6’4”. This would vary from the requirements of the Uniform Dwelling code. The appellant alleges the provisions of the code do not cover the Minimum door height for door in the basement. If the appeal is granted, the appeal would allow the door height to be less than the required 6’8”. This would vary from the requirements of the Uniform Dwelling Code.
