Chair Tralle abstained. <br />Mr. Evenson made a MOTION to recommend amending the zoning ordinance to <br />allow for metal roofs on single family homes with either hidden fasteners (i.e. <br />standing seam) or exposed fasteners, but not permitting corrugated, galvanized roofs <br />in residential areas. Motion was supported by Mr. Root. Motion carried 4 - 3. <br />C. 842 Lois Lane — Deck Setback Variance <br />Ms. Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. <br />The applicant, Brian A. Rydlund, submitted a Land Use Application for setback <br />variance for the purpose of constructing a deck at his property located at 842 Lois <br />Lane. A 2.7 foot variance to reduce the side yard setback from 5 feet to 2.3 feet is <br />requested. <br />Staff recommended denial of the 2.7 foot variance to reduce the side yard setback <br />from 5 feet to 2.3 feet at 842 Lois Lane. <br />Board Comments <br />Mr. Evenson, upon viewing the City website, questioned, if any changes are made to <br />a structure, is it a requirement to pull a permit. <br />Ms. Larsen explained it depends on the circumstance, but altering the size of a deck <br />would require a permit. She recommended, if anyone questions whether a permit is <br />required for a specific project to call the building department. <br />Mr. Evenson asked if a permit would be required for free standing decks under 30 <br />inches. <br />Ms. Larsen clarified the conversation then changes to a discussion of the differences <br />between a concrete patio and a deck and height becomes a factor. She said <br />regardless of whether a deck or a concrete patio is constructed, they both need to <br />meet the 5 ft. setback. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />
