I really do appreciate all the replies, advice and help w/ this - it is very intimidating to get bossed around by the insurance co w/ something that I dont know too much about. I certainly can understand the benefits of code standards, but also the need for common sense applied to certain situations. Like I originally mentioned, the more I tried to look into this, the more unclear much of this became.
Though changing out our sliding door and adding the false balcony will be more effort, time and money than we would want - atleast it appears to be a solution that should appease all the aspects involved (insurance co, PennDot, minimal obstruction to traffic, etc).
Thanks again!
