Board member Kamerman questioned staff regarding the City Council making amendments to the ordinance and the impact of the amendments to the applicant’s request in the future. Staff responded that if the Board denies the applicant’s request, the applicant can detach the proposed roof structure from the main structure or await for possible amendments to the ordinance by the City Council. Discussion continued regarding amendments to the ordinance. Board member Kamerman questioned the applicant if they looked at other alternative locations for the proposed roof structure. The applicant responded that they did, but determined that their desire is to attach the proposed roof structure to the main structure. Discussion continued regarding the request of attaching the proposed roof structure to the main structure. Board member Maynard questioned the applicant if the request to attach the proposed roof structure to main structure is to protect from inclement weather. The applicant responded affirmatively that the attachment of the proposed roof structure to the main structure is to protect from the elements. Discussion continued regarding the attachment of the structure to protect from the elements. Board member Kamerman opened discussion regarding proposing the necessary amendments for attached structures before the City Council. Board member McNosky added that the regulations set by the Land Development Code were passed by previous Council members and going counter to the regulations can set a precedent to go against the regulations again for other properties.
