Q&A with Community Development

Question: Can I build an extension to my deck if I have a stream along my back property line?

Answer: Maybe. If you are planning to build any structure or install any impervious surface area (i.e., patio) in your yard and you have the presence of a stream, you should contact the planning and zoning staff and they will analyze whether you will need a permit and if a stream buffer or yard setback variance may be required to make the improvement is needed.
