8611 WHIPPS MILL RD Building permit filed for 18x18 back yard deck free floating

Owner James E. Chmiel is planning a backyard upgrade at 8611 Whipps Mill Rd: a free-floating 18x18 deck off the back door, about 324 square feet and roughly 2 feet high. The building permit was submitted as a residential project with an estimated cost of $10,000. This looks like a simple, standalone deck—no new house or garage involved.
