Acting Chairman, Gary Brenner, called meeting to order.
Those members present were: Gary Brenner, John Marshall,
Floyd Best, Frank: Martin and Jim Wedua.
Dr. Thomas Noyes, Eagle Animal Hospital, 48Y5 N.W. Gateway,
came before the board to request a variance an parking lot
specifications. He is asb:.ing a variance on the asphalt
thickness from the required 4" asphalt and 6" base, to ~"
asphalt and 4" base and the elimination of curbing. His
architect said this was based on the use of the building and
the drainage (on the curbs).
John Marshall asked the architect about standing trucks on a
~'"' asphalt surfiace on a hot day, such as a •firetruck. '(he
architect said, if Heavy enough, would sink in any surface.
Floyd Best asked about the compaction of the soil. The
architect said it would be 9b%. -~

John Marshall said the main concern of this board was the
maintenance on a 2" surface, especially on a main road into
town. Dr-. Noyes said if :"' would not perform well, he would
not want it.
Jim Wedua said his a;•:perience has shown that =" with a 6"
base WOLtId be sufficient, Marshall agreed.
A letter from the city engineer was passed around with his
recommendation to stay with the city specifications.
Jahn Marshall said curbing was necessary on any new paving
construction and that the board could not enforce curbs on
the e.:isting parking areas. Tt was agreed that because of
the ~_inusual drainage in the rear, that r_urbs may not be
necessary around the rear parking area.
1=1oyd Best moved the variance on the asphalt thickness be
denied, but a variance an the base to 4" from b", and to deny
the variance for no curbs. Curbs shall be provided on the
entrances from Gateway to a point to the intersection of the
present surface where drainage Will be adequate.
Floyd Best withdrew his motion.
Jim Wedua said that it was his opinion that a 4" asphalt base
with a ~" asphalt topping was as good or better than a 4"
asphalt topping with a 6" gravel base.
Jim Wedua made a motion to deny a variance as requested, but
to grant a variance from the requirement to a 4" asphalt base
and ~" asphalt topping and to deny the variance on no curbing
e.:cept for- the parking area which will not be replaced and nn
the 8 parH:ing spots in the rear because of drainage and
access to the property off of the par~:ing area. Esest
seconded. Votes were as follows:
E+est-yes
Marshall- yes
Wedua- yes
Martin-- yes
I"srenner- disqualified himselfi from voting for personal
reasons.
Motion to grant variance ~-+s regGtested was denied, e::cept for
the thickness option given of the asphalt and the elimination
of curbs on the rear parking area.
After the vote, Dr. Noyes said he would have estimates made
on the option the board granted him and that it may more
economical for him to build the proposed parking areas
according to city specifications. The architect said he
would revise the plans and forward them to the city, if they
chose to accept the boards ruling.
