Commissioner Bauer asked if this could be requested, providing the applicant with additional time <br />to determine if that adjustment would still fit the boat. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that would be an option, noting the 60-day review timeline. <br />Mr. Ploumen asked if the Commission wanted him to get the exact measurements of the boat <br />compared to the slab. <br />Commissioner Bauer stated that he would be more open to the smaller variance request, if that <br />worked for the applicant as well. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that the case does not list a resolution and the direction would <br />be for staff to prepare a resolution, therefore this would come back to the next meeting anyway. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that staff could prepare the resolution with the larger <br />setback if that is desired. <br />Commissioner Anderson referenced the statement in the staff report that variances to Building <br />Code are not allowed and asked staff for assistance in understanding this request. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that the Commission could not approve this as is because the <br />structure would need to be modified to meet the Building Code. He stated that the variance could <br />be approved for the setback and then the applicant would need to work with the Building Official <br />to make the structure meet the requirements for fire protection. <br />Mr. Ploumen stated that he has been in conversation with the Building Official to discuss some <br />things that could be done to bring the structure up to Code. He stated that if alterations are required <br />to get the structure to Code, he would be willing to do that. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that if the Commission decides to approve the variance, the <br />City Council would still need to approve an encroachment agreement because this would be within <br />the easement. <br />Commissioner Anderson commented that because there is an easement, if that needs to be dug up, <br />they would bulldoze that structure down. He stated that they are trying to figure out how this could <br />work. <br />Commissioner Peters asked what could be done to the structure for it to meet Code. <br />Building Official Schreder commented that this is not unlike the other structure where the elements <br />within that five-foot setback would need to meet the one -hour fire resistance requirement. He <br />stated that one hour fire rating would need to be designed by the applicant through an architectural <br />plan for the posts and under side of the roof. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked if the practical difficulties section has been identified for this <br />request. <br />Planning Commission/ July 25, 2024 <br />Page 13 of 20 <br />
