File #1254 Page 2 Applicant has appealed to the City to waive the requirement for sprinkling the building. Staff advised the Planning Commission at the time the applicant made the request that they had no authority to deal with such matters as this clearly involved state regulations and there were certain procedures to be followed under those regulations. Staff was asked by the Planning Commission to get thi3 confirmation in writing from the State Building Code Division. This had been done by Mr. Jacobs. Please review Exhibits Q and S. we would advise Council to allow staff to deal with the established procedures already setforth in state statute and that applicant will be provided tF � ability to present their alternate method to a Board of Appeals. Staff issued a land alteration permit to the church at the end of last year to allow the expansion of the parking lot. It was the understanding of staff that there would be no more than 100 cubic yards removed and blacktop applied to the area. There was never any consideration given to stockpiling of any additional fill resulting from that grading work. At the time of the site inspection, staff discovered approximately 300 cubic yards of fill placed to the northwest of the existing structure. Staff has no authority to allow 300 cubic yards of disturber: earth to remain and advised the applicant that they would have to remove it from the site or else seek approval from the City for a Conditional Use Permit. Please review Mr. Brownlee's letter of 4/28/88, Exhibit U. Mr. Brownlee asked for the City's special consideration to allow the existing fill to remain and to be included with the stockpile of fill from the excavation for the new addition to be later used for the final grading around the site. Staff has no problem with this as long as there are no changes in the proposed elevation shown on the final approved grading plans. The enclosed staff Resolution has been drafted per the Planning Commission recommendation and the recommendations sighted by staff above that would require the installation of a new septic system and to approve a Conditional Use Permit for the additional fill that resulted from the expansion of the parking lot, such fill to remain until final grading.
