DURWARD - OFF STREET PARKING:
Because Dr. Durward nor his attorney appeared on behalf of this request,
the Board of Adjustment tabled consideration until the next Board of
Adjustment meeting scheduled for July 5, 1978.
ELIvHORN EAST COMPLEX - BUILDING HEIGHT VARIANCE:
Architect Roger Thorp appeared on behalf of the owners of Elkhorn East
complex requesting a 12' building height variance for a total building
height of 42'. He stated the three story office and bank complex re
quires twelve foot floor heights for structural and mechanical systems
and approximately 10'for solar collectors. The building was designed to
allow Black Canyon Creek to remain open and to leave the cliff in its
present state which then limits the actual building area. Mr. Thorp
presented drawings and a photo portraying the visual effect of the
added height which he claimed would be minimal due; to its proximity
to the cliff.
Robert Cheney, Fire Chief, expressed concern about the ability of the
Fire Department to extinquish a fire in a 42' high building with pre
sent equipment and of the safety of the firemen and inhabitants of
the building. Mr. Thorp said a fireproof enclosure on an outside
wall extending from the lower level to the roof could be constructed
to aid fire fighting.
With unanimous consent, the Board of Adjustment granted the 12
building height variance.
HABECKER/HORST - SETBACK VARIANCE:
Mr. David Habecker on behalf of Leland Horst submitted a request for
a setback variance to allow a small addition to the residence located
on Lot 9, Block 7, Reclamation Subdivision. The addition would be
11 feet from the boundary of the triangular shaped lot. Assistant
Town Attorney Babcock determined that the proposed addition would be
along the side yard .boundary rather than the rear yard boundary which
requires only a 10' setback in a R-1 Residential zoning district. Mr
Habecker then requested his petition be withdrawn.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
