ROLL CALL Mrs. Martin Mr. Lupinek Mrs. Walker Mr. Sloan Mrs. Kane Present Present Present Present Absent PUBLIC HEARING Mrs. Martin stated that Mr. Driscoll wanted a variance to keep the existing carport and storage shed built in error and asked if the board had any questions. Mr. Lupinek said that he had seen the property and felt that the property owner had created their own hardship. Mrs. Walker felt that people did not know permits were needed for different types of work. The City Attorney has reviewed this and will put it in writing for our files to follow up. He feels that Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll were innocent victims and that if any action is taken it should be taken against the contractors, Belmont Homes and Alfax, and not the owners. There was no building permit issued on this. Mrs. Martin felt that there should be a mlnlmum fine for small jobs that do not have permits. She also suggested writing a letter to the Building Code Board concerning this matter. lB Mr. Sloan made a motion to grant this variance and allow this building to remain. Mrs. ..Walker seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 3-1. Mr. Lupinek voted NO. LETTER to council. Mrs. Martin felt that another letter concerning Belmont Homes and Alfax needed to be written stating that in regards to the Driscoll variance, the board feels something should be done about this problem, perhaps an increase in the penalties. It is possible the Building Code Board should investigate this problem. The Public Hearing was adjourned. REGULAR MEETING CALL TO ORDER Mrs. Martin called the regular meeting to order.
