Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hill:
Thank you for sending me your recent letter regarding the variance request pending on
your residence. I have reviewed the contents of your letter with City staff in order to
better understand the problem.
While I can sympathize with the flood problem you have been experiencing over the last
several years, you must realize that the City has received. complaints regarding the
structure you added to your home, and must investigate these complaints to ensure that
City regulations are followed for the benefit of all residents.
The variance you are requesting from the Planning Commission is the appropriate method
for bringing the structure into compliance with the City code. As you are aware, adequate
evidence must be presented to substantiate the need for a variance. This documentation
should include the reason why you are having the flooding problem, alternative solutions
to the problem, and why the addition is the most appropriate solution. The attached letter.
sent to you by Assistant City Engineer Dave Hauser outlines specifically the technical areas
that need to be addressed by your engineer, Mr. Vernon.
If the Planning Commission denies your request for a variance, that decision may be
appealed to the City Council. It would be premature for the Council to take action on your
request prior to a decision by the Planning Commission.
I ‘hope this clarifies the variance process, and that you are able to solve your flooding
problems.
Sincerely, /-
