Okay,
under
boards
and
committees
vacancies
we
still
have
an
alternate
seat
on
the
historic
preservation
advisory
board.
That's
an
unexpired
term
under
nominations.
We
have
an
expired
term
as
an
alternate
on
the
code
enforcement
board.
Mr.
Stevens
has
expressed
an
interest
in
serving
and
is
he's
the
only
applicant.
If
you
would
like
to
nominate
an
appoint,
you
can
do
so
nominate.

Seeing
is
that
chairman
bob
has
said
that
the
district
understands
that
the
reverse
osmosis
facility
or
other
sources
will
be
needed
as
more
residents
moved
to
the
area
in
the
future,
which
is
why
we
have
made
available
matching
funding
in
the
fiscal
year
2015
budget
for
the
testing
of
the
resources
in
the
bracket
brackish
aquifer.
This
testing
is
important
to
understand
the
sustainability
of
a
reverse
osmosis
system
and
the
true
costs
of
proposed
project.
If
we
have
seen
water
quality
change
and
cost
increases
for
these
types
of
systems
throughout
the
state.
A
A

D
D
I,
because
of
the
issue
in
terms
of
people
have
their
properties
again,
older
properties
in
which
they
want
again
are
limited
because
of
the
current
the
revised
code.
Right
because
of
the
revised
codes,
they
cannot
do
things
that
the
perhaps
could
have
done
previously
right,
and
so
it
seems
to
be
again
a
catch-22
for
them
in
terms
of
making
this
modification
Carolyn's.
A
Trying
to
say
is
there
any
support
for
changing
the
ordinances
to
to
take
two
so
that
the
people
wouldn't
have
to
go
for
variance
like
they
did?
Okay,
so
in
other
words,
it
would
be
even
taking
a
step
further
than
even
granting
a
variance
in
my
opinion,
because
you
would
actually
be
changing
the
rules,
that's
what
the
process,
basically,
in
my
opinion,
the
process
for
the
variances.
For
that
reason,
Nancy,
it's
not.
E
Exactly
I
mean
like
the
head
I
think
we
have
rules
the
code
in
place
for
a
reason
and
as
I
think
I
said
at
that
meeting.
I
wish
that
the
homeowners
would
have
checked
with
the
design
studio.
There
are
lots
of
possibilities
of
what
could
be
done,
but
they
didn't
do
that
and
unfortunately
we
had
a
contractor
that
that's
seriously
violated
the
code
that
we
have
and
who's
to
know
the
deaf
person
might
I.
Do
it
again
and
let.
D
D
D
My
understanding
was
that,
because
the
codes
were
after
the
fact
that
this
house
was
built-
in
other
words,
they
were
certain
codes
in
place
at
that
time.
Should
there
be
some
kind
of
an
amendment
to
our
code
to
take
into
account
these
older
homes
who
were
originally
billed
under
certain
other
codes
that
was
mine.
We.
C
Have
in
our
zoning
code,
provision
relating
to
non-conforming
structures
and
non-conforming
uses
and
to
the
extent
that
what
they
want
to
do
to
their
house
doesn't
expand
the
non-conforming
nature
of
it.
They're
allowed
to
continue
their
house
their
structure,
not
what
say
in
fact
it's
not
women
they're
allowed
to
repair
that
picks
up
and
so
you're
not
penalized
for
having
a
non-conforming
structure,
but
they
are
not
allowed
to
do
things
that
are
not
allowed
to
any
other
house.
C
If
that
becomes
a
hardship
for
a
particular
reason,
then
that's
the
whole
purpose
of
the
variance
is
to
come
forward.
That
says:
okay
I'm,
a
non-conforming
house,
you
know:
maybe
they
can't
put
the
type
of
roof
on
that
they
need
to
put
because
of
the
old
style,
was
so
unsafe
and
they
need
to
do
something
with
the
new
house
and
to
do
that
would
violate
the
provision
of
the
current
code
because
of
the
design
of
the
old
house.
C
G
I
have
a
long
at
same
line
in
that
instant.
If
we,
if
we
just
went
by
what
the
ordinance
said,
we
would
have
just
had
to
vote
no
on
that.
So
it's
like
I
mean
I'm
with
Tom
I.
Definitely
voted
with
my
heart.
I
also
felt
I
did
go
to
the
structure.
I
did
feel
it
looked
better
with
the
you
know,
porch
or
whatever,
but
they
come
before
us
and
then
but
it
didn't
fit
the
criteria,
but
it
still
comes
so.
G
C
C
Speaking
without
reference
to
this
particular
case,
the
criteria
is
something
that
the
City
Council
stabbed.
The
criteria
is
necessary
to
avoid
challenges
of
favoritism,
arbitrary
and
capricious
action
by
the
City,
Council
abuse
of
discretion.
Or
what
have
you
when
you,
when
you
don't
follow
the
criteria?
C
The
next
person
that
comes
before
you
for
a
variance
when
you
decide
to
follow
the
criteria,
can
say
that
there
was
what
they
can
make.
The
argument
that
there
was
unequal
protection
under
the
under
the
law
and
so
War
II
neighbor
could
could
could
appeal
that
decision
and
argue
in
court
that
we
didn't
follow
the
criteria
and
the
court
would
more
than
likely
find.
C
That
is
the
case,
and
so,
if
the
criteria
is
not
the
right
criteria,
although
I
will
tell
you
that
that
criteria
is
uniformly
accepted
in
almost
all
jurisdictions
as
the
appropriate
criteria
for
variance.
If
you
want
to
change
the
criteria,
what
you
may
have
authority
to
do
that,
but
it's
in
your
ordinance
and
just
as
the
citizens
are
required
to
follow
the
ordinance.
The
City
Council
really
should
follow
the
order.
This
one.
That's.
G
What
I'm
saying,
why
does
it
come
to
us?
I
mean
in
their
case
they
had
a
contractor
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
I
know
we
have
a
code
enforcement
violation
going
against
them,
but
really
that's
the
only
recourse
we
have
I
know
what
the
meeting
Carolyn
you
had
mentioned.
I
think
that
they
should.
You
know,
pay
for
this
or
pay
for
that,
but
we
really
have
no
authority
to
make
them
do
that.
D
C
G
B
H
B
A
C
A
C
It
also
with
respect
to
hardship,
I
mean
we
don't
have
these
variances
come
before
it's
very
often,
so
maybe
it's
my
fault
for
not
kind
of
giving
a
primer
on
what
is
appropriate
to
consider
a
not
appropriate
consider.
But
the
hardship
is
not
a
self-created
hardship
in
order
to
qualify
for
the
parents
and
that's
the
way.
The
main
difference.
C
That
you
know
well
I,
didn't
know
you
know.
I
bought
this
house.
I
wanted
to
put
a
pool
in
I.
Looked
around
I
saw
there
were
plenty
of
pools
up
and
down
the
canal,
but
neglected
to
check
to
see
that,
since
those
other
kid
bull
pools
were
built
that
there's
now
a
setback
and
I
went
ahead
and
built
the
pool
contractor
didn't
tell
me
realtor,
didn't
tell
me,
that's
my
hardship
and
it
really
isn't
a
hardship,
that's
a
other
than
a
self-created
hardship,
because
they
didn't
do
the
appropriate
homework
which
wait.
C
G
C
The
problem
with
that
look
I
represent
people
all
the
time
that
want
to
do
things
and
they
said
well.
My
neighbor
was
able
to
do
it
and
I
said
well,
your
neighbors
in
violation,
and
so
you
know
they
want
to
know
well.
If
he
got
away
with
it,
I
can
try
and
I'm
saying
because
you'll
do
it
and
murphy's
law
will
say:
you'll
get
caught
and.
C
Have
a
give
you
an
example
of
a
variance
it
that
I
guess
we
comes
up
every
now
and
then
with
respect
to
driveways,
you
know
and
because
it
may
be,
sometimes
the
unique
location
of
the
property
or
the
configuration
of
the
property
in
relationship
to
the
street.
On
the
usual
prohibition
regarding
the
width
of
the
driveway
or
the
terminal
ever
really
is
not
appropriate
in
that
in
that
circumstance,
because
if
it's
a
safety
hazard
or
whatever
you
know,
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
the
variances
are
intended
to
address.
C
H
C
Reconsideration
is
made
within
30
days
of
the
date
that
the
original
decision
was
made
because
otherwise
it
you
know
that
would
be
the
time
for
that
after
30
days,
an
appeal
can't
be
taken
so
that
the
student
becomes
final
from
at
least
from
the
standpoint
of
being
overturned
or
reversed.
So
yeah
I
mean
there
is
an
opportunity
for
any
of
our
decisions
like
this,
even
a
quasi-judicial
one.
If
a
member
of
the
prevailing
side
makes
motion
for
reconsideration.
A
I
Steve
Fabian,
you
talked
about
the
cost
front
of
annexation
and
I'm
glad
that
you
did
do
anything
because
when
Eagle
Point
came
and
I
look
to
see
what
that
meant
to
each
individual
and
it
saved
them,
maybe
about
two
dollars
a
year
in
their
taxes.
But
when
you
take
280
two
units
and
they
get
fifteen
percent
off
of
their
water
bill,
that
makes
a
big
difference.
