NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Approval for carport trellis over parking spaces. LOCATION: 73-302 Highway 111 ZONE: C-1, S.P. Mr. Sawa outlined the salient points from the staff report. Mr. Bob Richey, representing the applicant, told the commission that the applicant is concerned with water flooding his property. Mr. Richey indicated that he had spoken with Vic Villeneuve, who said the public works department had no plans for that area during the next five years. He indicated that Mr. Villeneuve found the repaving and grading plans acceptable. Concern was expressed regarding added water flowing onto adjacent properties during flooding. Commissioner Cook said that since a block wall was being built, the wall should provide structural support for a glu-lam beam across the frontage of the shade structure. Commissioner Martin told Mr. Richey that the building department might require graded lumber structural poles. The telephone poles proposed aren't graded. Mr. Richey replied that cost was a primary factor and the applicant had the poles already. Commissioner Cook asked Mr. Richey how the carport relates to the building. Mr. Richey replied that it doesn't at this time. He said that the applicant recently remodeled the interior and would be remodeling the exterior at a later date. Right now his primary concern is for shade for the cars and flooding. Moved by Commissioner Cook, seconded by Commissioner Holden, approving the plans subject to the conditons below. Carried 5-0. 1. Eliminate two poles on the street frontage. 2. Make the side wall a structural wall for the trellis. 3. Provide vines and an irrigation system for carport trellis. B. Preliminary Plans: 1.
