7. 7 The appeal of Dennis & Dianna Mader, owners of 1516 David Lane, to appeal the cited violations of the Uniform Dwelling Code, sections, SPS 321.06 as referenced by section 16.01.6.b of the Waukesha Building Code. The existing home was built in 1974, 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 proposed bathroom in the basement. If the appeal is granted, the appeal would allow the ceiling height to be 6’8 1/2”. This is less than the required ceiling height 7’ (feet). This would vary from the requirements of the Uniform Dwelling code. ID#24-9542 denied Pass ▶ jump to 25:49

Washington Avenue, to appeal the cited violations of the Uniform Dwelling Code, sections SPS 321.06 as referenced by section 16.01.6.b of the Waukesha Building Code. The existing home was built in 1950, 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 ceiling height of the basement. If the appeal is granted, the appeal would allow the ceiling height to be 6’9” and the ductwork to encroach into the ceiling height to be 73” from the floor to the bottom of the ductwork. This is less than the required ceiling height 7’ (feet). 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 in the stairway to be less than the required ceiling height of 6’4” and would allow the ceiling height to be 73” (inches) in a portion of the stairway.
