Planning Manager Larson commented that it is a platted drainage and utility easement, explaining <br /> that those are generally low spots that allow drainage from the roofs of the homes/garages and <br /> driveways to flow to the street or other drainage area. <br /> Mr. Forster commented that the concrete does slope with the elevation of the ground to allow for <br /> drainage. <br /> Commissioner Anderson commented that he has been to the property and the metal roof is nice <br /> because it does shed snow. He stated that his concern would be that this would encumber on the <br /> neighbor's property and potentially cause damage to that siding. <br /> Mr. Forster commented that there are two rows of snow breaks on the roof. <br /> Commissioner Anderson commented that would not slow the rainwater. <br /> Mr. Forster commented that he does have gutters as well. He stated that he has worked with his <br /> neighbor on the design and the neighbor helped him construct the structure. He stated that they <br /> worked together to address those concerns with the snow breaks and gutters. He noted that he <br /> actually has additional snow breaks that could be installed if necessary. <br /> Commissioner Anderson stated that his other concern was with fire protection, as that is a State <br /> regulation. <br /> Mr. Forster stated that the only reason he is there tonight is because when he spoke with the <br /> Building Official, he was told that the structure could pass Code with improvements. He stated <br /> that he is committed to making the structure pass Code. <br /> Commissioner Heineman asked if the applicant would find the structure acceptable if the variance <br /> were granted but required the sides and the back to be removed and the posts to be wrapped. <br /> Mr. Forster replied that if that is what he has to do to keep this and have his items covered, he <br /> would be willing to do that. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> A roll call vote was performed: <br /> Commissioner Anderson aye <br /> Commissioner VanScoy aye <br /> Commissioner Bauer aye <br /> Commissioner Peters aye <br /> Commissioner Heineman aye <br /> Chairperson Gengler aye <br /> Chairperson Gengler closed the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. <br /> Planning Commission/July 25, 2024 <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
