The variance would be for a reduction from the setback requirement of 55 the state fire code for one side of the tent, from the 20 foot requirement to about 5 feet. The 56 council does have the authority to grant this variance in cases where certain factors exist 57 ((substantial compliance, public safety is considered, and undue hardship to applicant). He noted 58 correspondence from the state fire marshal in 2007 that granted the variance last year but for only 59 one year; this year the state is deferring the decision to the local authority (council). There is an 60 appeal process back to the state if denied at the local level. 61 62 Council Member O'Donnell moved to approve a variance from the 20 foot minimum •63 setback requirement from the north property line for the period of August 15-18, 2008 64 only, provided there will be no occupancy after August 16, 2008 and further the 65 applicant should work with staff on an optimum configuration of the tent for safety. 66 Council Member Stoltz seconded the motion.
