MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 23, 2000 Scalze pointed out the sprinkler issue and the engineer's report that the trusses are over-stressed. Mr. Valento pointed out that a sprinkler system cannot be installed in the building without tearing offthe roof, removing insulation, and adding more trusses. Fahey pointed out that the engineer's report was a reaction to information provided by Mr. Valento. Fahey felt that City staff should verify that the trusses diagramed by Mr. Valento are the same as the ones that exist in the building. If the actual trusses are different from the ones in the diagram, Fahey felt that the Variance and CUP should be denied. It was noted that at the time the building was constructed, the trusses in the diagram as prepared by Mr. Valento, were acceptable under the Uniform Building Code. There was no one present from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Fahey, seconded by LaValle, the public hearing was closed. LaValle pointed out that the accessory building is replacing storage area provided by two storage trailers. LaValle asked why so much storage was needed. Mr. Valento reported that the storage is needed by the business in the principle building. He indicated that the storage trailers that were on the site were full. The materials that had previously been stored in the trailers are now sitting outside behind the building. LaValle indicated that he wanted to ensure that the accessory building would not be rented to another business. Valento replied that it would not. Mr. Valento reported that he had no problem with the Building Official inspecting the trusses in the existing building to verify them against the drawing he has prepared. Morelan noted that the City Planner has prepared a couple of diagrams showing the maximum usage for a typical I-1 lot as well as the Valento lot at 3179 Spruce Street. After discussing the easements that exist on the Valento property that restrict the use of the lot, Morelan agreed that placement of the accessory building was restricted to the area proposed by Mr. Valento.
