Friends:

We are applying for a building permit in a  small coastal community near 
here for a PV system.  The arrays will be on  the flat roof of a house that is 
right up against the allowable building  height.  The city is requiring 
that we apply for a waiver to exceed the  allowed height.  As I read California 
law, it allows public agencies to  rule on a permit application only in 
regards to public safety and health  issues.  Repeated letters to the city 
attorney has failed to result in  how a building height limitation is a mater of 
public health and  safety.

Have any of you successfully fought a building department on  this issue?  
If so, is there any written documentation on the issue that  I can use?

Thanks in advance,

William  Miller
