Frequently Asked Questions
Why EAP?
High-efficiency electrified aircraft will require less energy, reduce the impact of air travel on the environment, and allow for cheaper air travel.
When will this technology be implemented commercially?
The correct building blocks are in place to have a viable large-plane EAP configuration tested by 2025 leading to entry into service in 2035.
We have electric cars, so why haven’t we had electric aircraft earlier?
Weight. Although a lighter car can have longer range than a heavier car, weight is less of a concern because ground vehicles don’t have to fight against gravity. The heavier an aircraft, the more power it requires for flight.
Also heat.
Schedule an Inspection - City of Piedmont

Plan for a 1 hour window before and after your estimated time, in case the inspector arrives early or is running late.
At your inspection, you need to have:

Set of approved stamped plans
Calculations
Paper copy of the building permit card

The inspector will check the work that’s been done against the approved plans. If the work is done in conformance with the approved plans, they will approve the inspection. If it’s not, we will issue a correction notice. This will tell you what needs to be fixed or changed.
If your inspection was done virtually over video or you did not have your permit card and you want proof of the sign-off, ask your inspector to email you a copy. 
How do I cancel my inspection?
If you need to cancel your inspection, login to your account and navigate to My Active Inspections on your dashboard. Find your permit and select the red circle in the Cancel column.

You can cancel up until 6am the day of your inspection. After 6am cancellations are not allowed.

Southpoint Park Shoreline Restoration Project Overview | Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation of the State of New York
The approved Soil Management Plan, in compliance with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) standards, outlines the removal of the excess construction debris and the addition of 2-feet of clean fill to provide a physical barrier between the remainder of construction debris to the public.In April 2017, the Community Plan for Southpoint Park Open Space was prepared for RIOC by Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. With the help and feedback from community input, the primary goal of the Stakeholders Plan was to provide a long-range planning and implementation document to guide RIOC on the future development of Southpoint Park Open Space and the Renwick Ruins. The approved plan highlighted accessibility, usability, natural environment features that encouraged wildlife, and access to the shoreline.In 2018, plans moved forward with the Roosevelt Island Southpoint Park project, prioritizing the necessity to repair the erosion of the east and west seawalls that was critical to ensure the health and safety of the public while visiting Southpoint Park. The proposed plan was reviewed and approved by several federal, state, and local agencies charged with protecting the environment, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI)– Fish and Wildlife Services, the National Marine Fisheries Services (NOAA), and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and the New York City Small Business Service (SBS). The RIOC Board of Directors unanimously approved the plan earlier this year.

Home Hardening | CAL FIRE
When it comes time to replace your fence, use noncombustible or ignition-resistant materials. 


 Combustible Attachments
 

Stop fire from spreading to your home. Attachments like carports, awnings, or retaining walls are often constructed of combustible materials and can provide a direct fire pathway to your home.
How are combustible attachments vulnerable?

Debris buildup alongside or on top of combustible attachments.
Combustible objects stored underneath, alongside, or next to combustible attachments.
Combustible attachments that when ignited can spread to places like eaves or siding.
Vegetation accumulation grown on attachments. 

What to do about combustible attachments

Create a noncombustible barrier or section between other attachments and structures with a minimum distance of 12 inches.
Remove vegetation from attachment.
Detach the attachment from the residence if possible and have a minimum of 2 feet of open space separation.
Replace combustible attachments with a noncombustible option.

 


 Accessory Buildings
 

Create an ember-resistant zone. If ignited, sheds can project embers or flames that can catch your home on fire if they are located too close.
How are accessory buildings vulnerable?

Outbuildings when ignited can burn longer from fire exposure due to size and often what is stored inside.

The size and distance of an accessory building if located too close to your home or neighboring residence. 

Its placement, if near other combustibles such as a combustible fence or vegetation.
Plastic sheds as they are the most hazardous.
Gaps or openings in the accessory building’s exterior siding or underneath if it has a combustible foundation that can expose the contents inside the building to flame or embers.

What to do about accessory buildings

Ensure the accessory building door is not facing your home.
Create a 10 feet ember-resistant zone around the accessory building.
Upgrade the accessory building with noncombustible and ignition-resistant materials. 
If possible, relocate your accessory building. Be sure when relocating not to move it next to other combustibles or next to a neighboring residence. 
Metal sheds or sheds designed with ignition-resistant construction are a better alternative than combustible sheds.
Home Hardening | CAL FIRE
Install a minimum of a 6-inch metal flashing applied vertically on the exterior wall and at deck-to-wall intersections. 
If a full replacement of your deck is not possible then consider a partial replacement by replacing the walking surface boards with a noncombustible option for the first 1 ft. away from the residence.
Remove combustible items stored under your deck.
 Regularly clear debris on top of or underneath your deck.

 


 Fences
 

Break the fire pathway. Fences, especially when attached to your home can provide a direct fire pathway if ignited. 
How is a fence vulnerable?

Vegetative debris that accumulates at the base of a fence, especially climbing plants that use the fence as a trellis. 
Privacy fences are vulnerable to ignition due to the horizontal to vertical intersections providing a ledge and backstop where embers can accumulate and ignite.
Vinyl fences are not as vulnerable to embers but can ignite through direct flame exposure from vegetative debris and are vulnerable to deformation from radiant heat exposure.
Combustible fences or gates that are attached to the residence as they can create a direct path for fire.

What to do about fences

Replace attached combustible fencing or gates with a noncombustible option for the first 8 feet.
Parallel combustible fences on a property should be at least 10 feet away. If they are double meaning two neighboring combustible fences these should be at least 20 feet away from the residence. If closer than the recommended distances, replace with an ignition-resistant or noncombustible fencing option.
Clean vegetative debris and combustible materials that are next to or on the fence. 
When it comes time to replace your fence, use noncombustible or ignition-resistant materials. 


 Combustible Attachments
 

Stop fire from spreading to your home. Attachments like carports, awnings, or retaining walls are often constructed of combustible materials and can provide a direct fire pathway to your home.
How are combustible attachments vulnerable?

Debris buildup alongside or on top of combustible attachments.
Combustible objects stored underneath, alongside, or next to combustible attachments.
Home Hardening | CAL FIRE
Relocate combustibles and flammables inside your garage so they are not located next to ignition sources.
Add metal flashing at garage door jambs and headers.
Add gasketing (weather-striping) to garage doors to prevent ember intrusion. 


 Decks, Porches, Balconies, and Stairs
 

Protect your deck! Deck ignitions can start from flames underneath or embers on top.
How is a deck vulnerable?

Combustible damaged or rotting deck boards as they are more easily ignitable. 
Deck boards made of combustible materials that are attached to the residence. 
Deck-to-wall intersections that have combustible siding and no metal flashing.
Combustibles within the first 0 to 5 feet zone around a combustible deck (patio furniture, planter boxes, door mats, etc.)
Combustible items stored underneath your deck that could be an ignition source for fire.
Decks that overhang a slope that can be exposed to flames from trees or other vegetation downslope.
Lattice or other combustible fencing options are used as a vertical enclosure under a deck, as it is readily ignitable.

What to do about decks

Create an ember-resistant zone under the deck footprint extending five feet outward to reduce the likelihood of under-deck flame exposure. Use hardscapes like gravel, pavers, or concrete. 
Ensure sufficient defensible space if your deck is overhanging and located on a slope to minimize flame spread. 
Replace deck boards with ignition-resistant, noncombustible, fire-retardant-treated wood, or material that complies with performance testing standards (this includes steps, stairs, and railings).  
Replace any damaged or rotting deck boards as they ignite more easily. 
Install a minimum of a 6-inch metal flashing applied vertically on the exterior wall and at deck-to-wall intersections. 
If a full replacement of your deck is not possible then consider a partial replacement by replacing the walking surface boards with a noncombustible option for the first 1 ft. away from the residence.
Remove combustible items stored under your deck.
 Regularly clear debris on top of or underneath your deck.

VA Funding Fee And Loan Closing Costs | Veterans Affairs
This fee helps to lower the cost of the loan for U.S. taxpayers since the VA home loan program doesn’t require down payments or monthly mortgage insurance.
Will I have to pay the VA funding fee?
If you’re using a VA home loan to buy, build, improve, or repair a home or to refinance a mortgage, you’ll need to pay the VA funding fee unless you meet certain requirements.
You won’t have to pay a VA funding fee if any of these descriptions are true for you:

You’re receiving VA compensation for a service-connected disability, or
You’re eligible to receive VA compensation for a service-connected disability, but you’re receiving retirement or active-duty pay instead, or
You’re receiving Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) as the surviving spouse of a Veteran, or
You’re a service member who has received a proposed or memorandum rating before the loan closing date that says you’re eligible to get compensation because of a pre-discharge claim, or
You’re a service member on active duty who, before or on the loan closing date, provides evidence of having received the Purple Heart

Funding fee refunds
You may be eligible for a refund of the VA funding fee if you’re later awarded VA compensation for a service-connected disability. The effective date of your VA compensation must be retroactive to before the date of your loan closing. 
If you get a proposed or memorandum rating after your loan closing date, you’ll still need to pay the funding fee. You won’t be eligible for a refund based on this rating.
If you think you’re eligible for a refund, please call your VA regional loan center at 877-827-3702 (TTY: 711). We’re here Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.
How will I pay this fee?
You’ll pay this fee when you close your VA-backed or VA direct home loan.
You can pay the VA funding fee in either of these ways:

Include the funding fee in your loan and pay it off over time (called financing), or
Pay the full fee all at once at closing
