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