Official Christine Cavalier, Bldg. Secretary GUEST Jim Wallace, Resident-3516 Robinhood Mary A. Wallace, Resident-3516 Robinhood Regan Miller, Architect The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Craig DeCote at 6:30 p.m. There were no minutes presented for approval. The request for variance to 1994 Edition of SBC concerning construction requirements for third floor remodeling and fmish-out was the next item on the agenda. The variance request was from Jim and Mary • A. Wallace, owners and occupants of the property addressed as 3516 Robi.nhood, being the East one half (112) of Lot 4 and West one-half of Lot 5, Block 75, West University Place Second Addition. Mr. & Mrs. Wallace stated they were seeking the variance to construct an exercise room, which would also house an extensive book collection. Dennis Holm advised that the fire safety issues had not been adequately addressed and that was the reason for the variance. Following discussion of the matter by the Commissioners, it was suggested that this matter be tabled and that Mr. & Mrs. Wallace set up an appointment to have the Building Official come about to make a definite determination regarding the type of wood used for framing. Also they were urged to gather more evidence and reschedule an appearance before the commission, thus no formal action was taken regarding this matter. The commissioners then began discussion of matters relating to codes. The telephone and cable wiring issue was discussed at length followed by a discussion on architects. The general feeling of the group was that the telephone and cable wiring issue would be dropped for now. At a later date more time would be spent on the architect issue. The group decided the next meeting will be September 20, 1998 and a concerted effort would be made to proceed with the matters relating to codes in a manner that would allow for successful completion of the task. The topics for the next meeting will be drywall and the with a continuation of the architect's issue. There being no further business, James McDaniel moved that the meeting be adjourned. Roy Harper seconded the motion; all favored and the meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
