Attachment E <br />Commissioner Boerigter, while sympathetic to the plight of the applicant, noted that the overall height to midpoint <br />: of the roof was not beyond current Code, and only the wall height above the nine feet (9') allowed was the issue. <br />: Commissioner Boerigter questioned the purpose of that provision, if it was due to the building looking that much <br />: higher with higher walls. However, Commissioner Boerigter concurred that this didn't equate to a defined hardship <br />: that would justify granting the variance. Commissioner Boerigter questioned if this portion of the City Code should <br />: be reviewed for further refinement. <br />: Commissioner Boerigter spoke in support of the Conditional Use, but spoke in opposition to the Variance; and <br />: suggested that the applicant pursue alternatives to accommodating the motor home with a nine foot (9') wall and <br />E midpoint roof at fifteen feet (15').
