MILLER - MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE ON MAIN FLOOR - LEWISTON PROPERTY:
The Board of Adjustment continued its consideration of the Miller
variance request from the February 26, 1980 meeting. Bruce Miller
appeared and submitted floor and site plans of Building "D" to further
clarify the variance request to allow 448 sq.ft, on the main floors of
the 4-unit condominium at 321 Big Horn Drive rather than the required
600 sq.ft, minimum. The following correspondence was reentered into
the record:
Robert J. and Gale M. Pallissard 2/25/80
Joseph H. Bobich 2/18/80
George and Glonda Hix 2/21/80
Telephone call from Rhea Howard 2/21/80
Another letter dated March 17, 1980 was received from Robert and Gale
Pallissard stating that they did not object to the variance being
granted provided the additional setback remained as open space. Member
Margaret Houston moved the variance be granted with the condition that
the 16' setback of Building "D" from the west property line remain as
open space. Member Lamson seconded the motion and it passed by the
following votes: Those voting "Yes" Members Houston, Lamson, Sager,
Wagner. Those voting "No" Member Burgess.
CRAGS OVERLOOK CORPORATION - HEIGHT VARIANCE - EARLEE ADDITION:
Architect Roger Thorp resubmitted a request on behalf of Crags Overlook
Corporation to allow a 6' height variance for a 9-unit condominium
located in the Earlee Addition. He explained that a total height of
36' would allow a more aesthetic pitch roof and he presented a site
plan and rendering of the proposed condominiums. Fire Chief Jack Rumley
commented that the proposed condominiums are adequately designed for
fire suppression but that it is more difficult to help people escape
from fires in the upper floors. Adjacent property owner Gerald Swank
stated that the proposed location of the condominiums would affect his
view but would not if the building was moved further back. Member
Sager commented that after reviewing the request on location, he felt
the building would be better located to the southeast and would have
less visual effect on the adjacent property. Building Inspector Stan
Jones, Roger Thorp and Gerald Swank agreed to get together and pursue
the possibility of relocating the building to the southeast. Member
A1 Sager then moved the height variance be granted provided that (1)
the building can be relocated to reduce the adverse visual effect dis
cussed by Mr. Swank and (2) a letter be submitted by Mr. Swank con
firming that the relocation adequately solves the visual problem. Mem
ber Lamson seconded the motion and it passed by the following votes:
Those voting "Yes" Members Houston, Lamson, Sager, Wagner. Those
voting "No" Member Burgess.

Elizabeth Wojt appeared requesting a variance to Section 17.66.190 C 15
of the Municipal Code to allow an off premises advertising sign. Mrs.

locate it. She requested that she be permitted to place a 3' x 1' sign
on the property located at the corner of Spruce Drive and West Elkhorn
Avenue, Member A1 Sager moved the variance request be denied because
it does not meet condition #3 of Section 17.66,340 E which states "The

bly draw attention to his business or enterprise". Member Lamson seconded
the motion and it passed by the following votes: Those voting "Yes"
