MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />NOVEMBER 14, 1991 <br />McBride reported that the intent is to bring the <br />structure up to Code. McBride pointed out that <br />initially they had wanted to do more. McBride reported <br />that the repairs that are needed to bring the structure <br />up to UBC standards include some foundation work, <br />addition of some 2 X 8's, replacement of broken <br />windows, addition of caulking, insulation in the attic <br />and replacement of some singles. These repairs can be <br />done easily within the $4,500 price range. McBride <br />pointed out that the Building Inspector has referred to <br />the structure as dilapidated, and McBride disagreed <br />with that comment. <br />Pedersen asked how the City will know that repairs are <br />being done for under $4,500 and not for $10,000. <br />The City Planner reported that the cost of repairs must <br />be indicated on the building permit application, and <br />the cost of the permit is based on that valuation. It <br />will be a judgement call by the Building Inspector <br />whether or not the value of the work is equal to the <br />contracted value. <br />McBride stated that he would like to withdraw the <br />request for appeal of denial of CUP and Variance, and <br />will proceed with a building permit application. <br />The City Planner requested that McBride withdraw the <br />appeal in writing. <br />Drabik asked if the City could require that the <br />structure have a garage. <br />The Planner replied that the City cannot make this <br />requirement. <br />Drabik pointed out that under the building permit <br />process the City cannot require a garage nor landscape <br />plan. Drabik asked if repairs are made for under <br />$4,500, if there is a time period that must lapse <br />before the property owner can come in and request a <br />permit for another improvement to the structure. <br />Drabik was concerned that in avoidance of the 50% <br />limitation, a property owner could keep processing a <br />string of smaller permit applications. <br />The City Planner felt the City Attorney's opinion was <br />necessary to answer this question. The Planner <br />recommended that the Commission take action on the <br />appeal application, noting that the City does not have <br />a formal written request for withdrawal of the <br />application. <br />Page 5 <br />
