Councilman Amstrup stated he was quite familiar with the sitesince it was in his nei ghborhood. Councilman Harrison noted he had visited the site beforc thehearing of iluly 6,1976. The City Attorney indicated he had received no new evidence.

L, I the and 185 Mr, Ken Topping aCded that the door could be taken off the back of the structure, making a clear passageway to the rear, and discussed the use of sheet rock in the structure for fire safety. Mayor Mangini requested opinion from the Fire Chief on the proposed door opening. The Fire Chief stated he had discussed wi th the Fi re Inspector the Toppi ngs ' proposal to cut a door, Inhis opinion this type of access would be an advantage over the way it is now for dragging hose, but for proceeding with laddersit would still be an obstacle. He added it would not contributeto the spread of fire from that house to the next one, Mr, Leonard Benedict, speaking as representative of odd voters who signed the petition, read from a prepared supporti ng the vari ance. the 300 statement There were no other comments and the public hearing was dec I ared cl osed. Mayor Mangini questioned if the structure had to be so close to the fence to act as a windbreal. Mr. Topping affirmed it was necessary because of the prevalence and violence of the wind. Councilman Amstrup remarled it was difficult for him to understand that a contractor such as Mr. Toppi ng did not know a building permit must be secured. Mr. TopPing stated that was an issue that he did not wi3h to explore because it involved a City employee. He spoke of various contacts with City staff, and the fact that this matter seemed unimportant in comparison with other problems at the time. tlhen it was too late, he filed for variance. Mayor Mangi ni noted the 4 x 4 in the stud wal I of the structure which would make it possible to put a wall there and cut down the extension into the side yard. The building would then conform to code, Mr. Toppi ng agreed this coul d be done , but it woul d defeat the purpose of a windbrealt. He offered the comprOmise of cutting a door in the front which would effect a passage for fire equipment. Councilman Amstrup agreed there was a wind problem in this area' 0n question from Mayor Mangini, even with this compromise a variance s tructure in the si de yard. equipment building on the site.

The Fire Chief stated it would be necessary to have 5/8" sheet rock on each side of the wall. Counci lman Marti n di scussed at I ength wi th Mr, Topping how this compromise could be effected with the proper bui I di ng materi al to get a one-hour wall. Mr. Toppi ng agreed to make these structural changes for the fi re wal l, addi ng that the pump for the swimming pool could also be useful for the Fire DePartment. Mayor Mangini raised the question of relocation of this pool Toppiit, nd. Councilman Harrison noted that the struct0!e was an iilegalbuilding; that it had been duly presented to the Planning Commissionfor a variance which was denied. He considered remarks containedin Mr. Benedict's statement referring to Council's responsibilityto the voters as an attempt at intimidation. The Councilman again noted that four conditions were necessary to grant a variance, and in his opinion, these conditions were not met. For this reason he woul d vote agai nst approval + Councilman Harrison reminded Mr. Topping that all four conditions for a variance must be met. the C holdi mutua l,Jhile Counci lman Marti n was i ncl i ned to go al ong wi th the factthat the bui I di ng was illegal to begi n with, he poi nted out that most swimming pool contractors specify their pool equipment should be on the same I evel as the pool . He suggested that Mr. Toppi ng's compromise was a basically workable one. tlith regard to the four conditions for a variance, he Euggested that it depends upon thepoint of view as to whether or not these are being met. the subject of compromi se, Mayor Mangi ni poi nted out that has this ordi nance and peopl e who are charged wi th up-it. As far as he was concerned, unless this compromise was agreeable to everyone, he would be inclined to sustainthe Planning Commission. He asked the City Planner if thls com- promise had been offered to the Planning Commission at their hearing. The City Planner told Councii this proposal had not been offeredto the Planning Commission. llhi1e he had suggested to the Toppingsthat they consider all options, he had first heard of this idea th i s af ternoon. Councilman Amstrup noted the reference to the will of the people in the presentation by Mr. Benedict, and pointed out that some ofthe signatures on the petition were obtained not near the site, butin front of Petrini's market. He emphasized that most citizens get legal permits for work which they want to do. In this situation,this requirement was completely ignored, and the City is offered a compromise. He questioned the integrity of this type of rule making.
