D. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

E. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Approve the minutes of the October 17, 2018 meeting.

 A motion was made by Smith, seconded by Kuhrt. The motion to approve the
 regular meeting minutes of October 17, 2019 carried by a unanimous vote.

2. Consider the requested variances to the 2012 International Building Code: a) Table
 705.8 to permit existing windows that do not conform with fire separation distances to be
 allowed to remain and b) Section 706.1 to waive the fire wall requirements and allow the
 existing party wall to remain. - BRB Case #96.
 Peter Zibble, TED Operations Manager, made a presentation on the case. He
 indicated that in the time since the publication of the agenda item, city staff
 continued to meet with the applicant regarding this project. It was decided in the
 meeting that to continue to treat this development as two separate but
 connected buildings, far too many variances to the building code would be
 required. Staff was also concerned that they would not be able to support some
 variances. As a result, the applicant and staff decided that the best option
 would be to seek a zoning variance to permit the construction of a single
 building on two lots. This solution would negate the need for variances to the
 building codes as the new apartments could be considered as a simple building
 addition.

 Russ Whitaker, council for the applicant, concurred with the staff presentation
 and presented additional background information. Mr Whitaker indicated that
 the resubdivision of the property was strictly for the purposes of obtaining state

 financing to build the new apartments and that the entire building would continue
 to function as a single building. He indicated that the two separate owners are
 actually entities of a single parent entity and there is an agreement in the works
 to define that relationship to ensure that a portion of the building could not be
 sold separately.

 Mr. Smith confirmed that it would not be possible to consolidate the two lots.
 Mr. Whitaker said that it would not be due to the financing restrictions. Mr.
 Russell asked if the new building would be Type 2A. The project architect, Heidi
 Wang, confirmed that it would be.

 There was no public testimony on this item.

 The Board discussed the case and concurred that it would be in the best
 interest of all parties to treat the facility as a single building. They decided to
 agree with the applicant's current request to reject the design variances stated
 in the agenda item and amended the motion.
 The motion was to not recommend the variance requests for BRB Case #96 and
 instead recommend that staff review the existing building and the proposed five
 story addition as a single building on a single lot under the adopted ICC codes
 and disregard the interior lot line of the new subdivision.

 Aye: 6- Brockman,Castagnoli,Chairperson Jurjovec,Kuhrt,Russell, andSmith

 Absent: 2- Ghassan, andKronewitter


3. Consider the requested variance to the 2012 International Building Code Section 402.1.1
 Open Space - BRB Case #97.
 Peter Zibble, TED Operations Manager, presented information about the case.
 Mr. Zibble indicated that in addition to the information provided in the agenda
 memo, it was determined that the lighting store building to the northwest of the
 subject building encroaches a few feet into the 60' open space required for a
 mall. He asked that the Board consider adding that encroachment into their
 approval of the variance request.

 The applicant, Shilpa Purohit, gave a brief presentation supporting the agenda
 memo and the additional request for allowing the lighting store to encroach.

 Mr. Russell asked about potential to reverse the layout of the building. Ms.
 Purohit said that the grocery store needed to be on the north side because of
 the loading dock location.

 Mr. Smith asked about the parking requirements and landscaping. The
 applicant and staff indicated that the parking is currently adequate for what is
 proposed and that it will be reviewed again for any new requested tenant use.
 The applicant also indicated that there would be some additional landscaping.
 Staff noted that Planning would ensure that the development complies with all
 city requirements.

 Mr. Russell ask for some clarification on the requirements of Section 402.2
 which were answered by the city's Code Official, Katie Sperl.

 Mr. Brockman asked if the open space remaining around the building would
 provide adequate access for the fire department. The Fire Marshal, Scott
 Scheller, said that there is a access for his trucks around the entire perimeter of
 the building. Mr. Scheller also elaborated on the fire protection aspects of a mall
 and how it differs from separate, connected buildings. He also noted that the
 fire barrier required between the mall and Tenant Space YY would permit
 penetrations so that the two uses could share utilties, fire supression, and
 alram systems.

 Chairman Jurjovec made an amended motion to include the lighting store. Ms.
 Sperl asked that it also include allowing Tenant Space YY to be attached to the
 mall.
 The motion was to recommend the variance request for BRB Case #97 with the
 conditions proposed by staff in the agenda memo, and to accept the
 encroachment of the existing lighting store to the west into the required 60 feet,
 and to allow the Tenant Space YY to be connected to the mall building.
