MINUTES HUGO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS FEBRUARY 8, 2007 Chairperson Schumann called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. PRESENT: Brunotte, Schumann ABSENT: Puleo ALSO PRESENT: Bryan Bear, Community Development Director (CDD) Rachel Simone, Associate Planner Michele Lindau, Community Development Assistant Minutes of December 14, 2006 Brunotte made motion, Schumann seconded, to recommend approval of the minutes of December 14, 2006 as submitted. All Ayes. Motion carried. Variance for Gussett Design (Rick Burr) The Board of Zoning considered the application of Rick Burr, owner of Gusset Design, 15587 Forest Boulevard North, for two variances to permit construction of a 12,060 square foot addition to an existing 5,740 square foot building used for office, warehousing, and manufacturing. The addition would be used to warehouse equipment utilized by the business and would provide storage for materials currently stored outside. The Associate Planner explained one variance was from the side yard set back requirement to allow the addition of the building to be one foot from the property line where thirty feet is required, and the other variance was from the commercial/industrial construction standards to build an addition with metal panels, which is prohibited by the ordinance. The applicant also requested a concept plan review. The current use is a legal non -conforming use. The property is zoned General Business (C-2) and the use is industrial. In order to build the addition, the applicant would have to apply for a conditional use permit to expand the legal non -conforming use during the site plan review and must comply with the related performance standards. An addition had been constructed in 1992 and a variance was granted to allow the building to be three feet from the property line where the industrial zoning at that time required a 10 -foot setback. The building was constructed at a slight angle, and to build an addition at the same sight line, the setback would be 2'8" to 1'1" from the south property line.
