CONSIDERATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6524 VANDERBILT:
Karin Daerr, owner of the property located at 6524
Vanderbilt explained that on July lOth, 1991 the City of
West University Place approved all drawings and
specifications, including foundation to add a room behind an
existing garage. On the same date, July 10, 1991 building
permit number 9101892 was issued by the City. Work began
shortly thereafter. All pre-concrete foundation work
• including excavation and installation of reinforcing rebar
and other structural materials was completed on August 15,
1991 in accordance with the City approved Drawings and
Specifications. The City was requested to inspect the
installation on August 16, 1991 so that concrete could be
poured on August 17, 1991. On August 16, 1991 the City
inspected the site and refused to approve the foundation
preparation work because the foundation did not have piers,
even though the City approved Drawings and Specifications
and issued a building permit that did not require piers, nor
is there any demonstrated structural reason such piers
should be required on a one story structure. The same
foundation design and specifications have served the garage
structure very well over the last approximate 10 year
period.
After a brief discussion Philip Lewis made a motion to grant
a variance and approve the Drawings and Specifications so
that construction could resume. This motion was seconded by
Dale Reid.
Voting Aye: Carolyn Hodgins, Drew McManigle,
Nick Aschliman, Phil Lewis, Dale Reid.
