BOARD OF BUILDING CODE APPEALS FEBRUARY 22, 1990 PAGE 4 , . were required to be brick. They have no problem with this request, Mr. Burk suggested that the cedar that is on the house could be used to enclose the chimney, but some of the members did not believe that would look anV better. Mr. Kazak suggested that he could move the chimney over so there would be more room to enclose it and it would not be visible. Mr. Cook stated that this would leave a hole in the roof that would have to be patched and he was not willing to do that, He further advised that his other homes would not require a variance. Mr. Conway pointed out .that this was amodel home and the f inal inspec- tion was not made until the house was sold. P'Ir. Kiczek, a neighbor of the Chand house, was sworn in. He stated that there was a difference between the two requests since the chimney on the Chand house could be seen from the street. It was clarified that this chimney is in the valley, but the members agreed that the enclosure could still be mounted. The members discussed various options and determined that the circum- stances of the two situations were different. Building Commissioner Conway pointed out that if one variance is granted it does not set a precedent. Mro Cook advised that the owners of this house were not present because they had no probl.em with the way the chimney looked. D. Spoerke moved to have 2?1r. Cook paint the chimney to match the roof and leave it exist as it stands, seconded by J. Konold. Roll call on motion: Spoerke, Konold, and Burk, yes. Mr. Kazak, no. Motion carried. At this point:a resident adjacent_to the Chand house, Mr. Mandick,.was sworn in. He stated that he had-no objection to the request. Mr. Kicaek, who is also a builder, stated that an enclosure could easily be instailed on legs even if the chimney was in the valley, Mr. Kazak stated that there would be a lot more water in the valley and this could be a point of leakage. 5ince there wasno representative present, it was decided to defer this request until the next meeting and request-that the builder be present.
