Palette and Patio

Patio Plans

When I went to the City of Ottawa for guidelines on building a patio, the clerk handed me a pile of paper with complicated looking drawings, regulations, and other stuff. I found it a bit intimidating, because they sample drawings were done by a professional draughtsman, so that's the minimum standard I have to meet.

Check out the survey of my property. It's about 40 meters long and 6.5 meters wide.

This is the overhead view of the backyard, featuring a 9 foot x 14 foot deck with the steps going to the west in front of the kitchen window. The scrawny weeping karigiana (sp?) is there, too, and might have to be moved.

These are the cross-section diagrams. I need to add the notes.
