Mabusth, Building & Zoning <br />Date: June 21, 1990 <br />Subject: #1476 David & Suzanne Brass, 1065 Linden Lane - <br />Reconsideration of Variance <br />List of Exhibits - <br />Exhibit A - Resolution #2738 <br />Exhibit B - Staff Letter dtd 4/10/90 <br />Exhibit C - Prass Letter dtd 4/14/90 <br />Exhibit D - Staff Letter dtd 4/27/90 <br />Exhibit E - Staff Letter dtd 6/4/90 <br />Exhibit F - Survey <br />In December 1989, the City granted approval of a variance to <br />allow a pool structure and shed to remain on the subjecv, property <br />without a principal residence. A principal residence was razed <br />earlier that year as a result of a hazardous building action. A <br />condition of that original variance approval required the <br />applicants to install a permanent pool cover over the open water <br />area by an April 1, 1990 deadline. In addition, the City would <br />allow the pool to remain until September 1, 1990 deadline, at <br />which time the applicants were to have applied for a building <br />permit for a new principal structure. Please review the enclosed <br />correspondence between staff and the applicants.^ The applicants <br />have failed to install the permanent pool covering by the dead­ <br />line date. A recent inspection of the site by staff confirms <br />that the original snow fencing installed around the pool is in <br />good condition providing the necessary temporary precaution. <br />Please review Exhibit C. Applicants’ letter of April 14th <br />appears to be asking the City to consider grade level wooden <br />decking over the water retention area as a permanent answer to <br />the problem of the pool remaining without the principal <br />residence. Applicants' letter clearly notes that they have no <br />immediate plans nor are capable of planning for c.ns.ruction of a <br />new residence this year. <br />The applicants have been advised that the staff has placed <br />this matter before the Council at their June 25th meeting. <br />Hopefully, the applicants will appear to present their position <br />to the Council. At any rate, staff must have Council s further <br />direction regarding the present status of the pool and for <br />possible redirection on this matter. <br />A) Require immediate removal of the pool as applicants have <br />failed to comply with origina? conditions of approval and <br />the applicants have confirmed that they would not be able to <br />obtain a building permit for new construction by September <br />1, 1990 deadline; or <br />7
