Root Testimony: He oversees permits and new construction projects, and also deals with problem with contractors vs. residents of the city. Root stated he is familiar with the complaints and signed affidavits from complaining parties. Root stated he is familiar with Severy Creek. Gollin referred to Exhibit 1, Severy Creek contractor license. Root described a class D license as for roof, decks, pergola —basic construction. Gollin asked Root if he is familiar with the IRC and IBC. Root replied, yes he is. Gollin asked, do you have to have a permit for siding? Root replied, yes, in the IRC it states you need a permit for siding, adding that there are some aspects for which you do not need a permit. Root stated, the Ruppert house needed a permit because it was siding, not general maintenance and the same is true for the deck. The deck was a dangerous hazard for the occupants. Root reaffirmed there was a public safety issue —the deck was torn apart, the stairs had no railing; there may be kids using the deck, the structure was compromised. Continuing, the permit process is to ensure the project is going to move forward in a timely and safe manner. Root stated, as far as a leaking roof, it falls under the Property Maintenance Code. The siding did not have flashing at the windows and the siding was not properly installed. Gollin asked to look at Exhibit 4. Gollin asks, this is the permit for the reroof at 641 St Andrews Lane issued in October 31, 2018 and finished on 8-20, 2019? Root agreed. Gollin referred to Exhibit 5, an extension request on the reroof at 641 St. Andrews. Root confirmed this request was made a few days before the permit expired because the homeowner wanted to wait till the spring/summer.
