Construction (a) Greenhouse with a tube aluminum dirt floor. (b) 24' x 48' building used to repair and maintain work vehicles and storage of work tools. 3.. Construction of both of the buildings with 24" fill above the existing ground, because the replacement value of the buildings is less than the cost of hauling, placement and compaction of 6.9' of fill, also the appearance of a 24' x 48' building on top of a 6.9' fill. June 12, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 - Continued C. Engineering Comments 1. This development must comply with all floodway ordinances. 2. Recommend Board of Adjustment to determine if out building must be elevated above 100-Year Flood elevation. 3. Improve Sibley Hole Road to residential standards with concrete headers. D. Analysis Staff feels that the plan is compatible to the area. The site is appropriate for the proposed landscaping related use because of the floodplain/floodway involvement. No adverse impacts are expected. E. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The Committee reviewed the application. A discussion centered around the applicant's request to construct the building without the required amount of fill. Engineering reported that only the Board of Adjustment was authorized to make variances from the floodway. Some Committee members felt that construction of a floodproof building would eliminate the potential hazard. Other issues discussed related to the requirement/location of a Water Works easement, improvement and dedication of Sibley Hole Road. A one -lot final is required. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. Engineering reported that the greenhouse would be a flow -through building and the other would be raised four feet,. and that the applicant will go to the Board of Adjustment for a waiver from the floodplain ordinance. A motion for approval was made and passed by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 noes and 4 absent.
