driveways and surface parking spaces do not need permits. Where as,a foundation does require a permit because
there are standards for that. Surface parking and driveways do not require a permit. Whenever someone asks in
our office,we inform them that although it does not require a permit they do need to provide us with a site plan so
we can be sure that where they are proposing to make this parking space meets the code requirements. Here the
applicant hired a concrete contractor and assumed that he would not do anything illegal.
