DRAFT Chairman Ms. Rood: I know you wanted to complete everything. But once we look at everything, it must be right or it could be challenged. Ms. Pryor: Are you willing to make the building smaller, so that you have more of a pitch? Mr. Tatford: I would prefer not. Like everyone says, you know, you always want to go bigger than smaller. I have only one shot to build it. Ms. Pryor: It is a very big building on a very small piece of property. Mr. Tatford: Even if I went smaller, that would not change the height of the building. I still need 14 feet. Mr. Ballard: Well, if you are going to be doing that it has to be republished. We were talking about the drainage. Maybe we can have it and it does get approved, because they are going to ask for this. Other than just saying that you are going to have the gentleman do it and have appropriate. The building department is going to have to tell you what you need. You will need to calculate that or have the contractor produce. Chairman Ms. Rood: The water from the shed on a metal roof with the dimensions that you are looking at 40x40. This is 1600 gallons x .623 and that would make it 1,000 gallons an hour with one inch rain would be shed off that roof. Ms. Pryor: When we ask for a drainage plan, we are looking at size of pipes that you are going to have on the building. What kind of snow jacks. Mr. Reed you mentioned some type of pit that can be done. Mr. Reed: There are a couple of different ways that drains can be done to make a swale which be shallow or stone lined to inhibit a rapid run off water. It kind of meters it out. The water would run into the stone and fill up and then flow out naturally. So, you do not have a big surge. This area gets in the rainfall maps in codes that get 2-1/2 inches of rain per hour. Basically, you are looking at 2,500 an hour of rain coming off the roof. You are looking at a decent sort of runoff, where that is going to go to it doesn’t flood out the neighbors’ properties or yours. You do not realize that unless you watch the rain we have had recently. There are some areas in town where the water runs in ditches. It was like Niagara River running down the ditches and across people’s yards. I had a couple of people come the other day with flooding issues. We do not want that to happen after it is built or for it to start negatively affecting the amount of water. We need something down in writing. It doesn’t have to be an engineered plan, but we need to have something that we can track. Maybe something similar people have done in the area. Ms. Pryor: You also get less runoff when you build a smaller building. So something to take into consideration. It is a very large building on a small property. Chairman Ms. Rood: If you could go, I mean you were conscientious and they found these. We do have a copy of them. But if you could correct that to 21 feet and then just have them resign it, that would be great. Just so that is correct. This needs to be republished for next month, with the two variances and the height included. Chairman Ms. Rood made a motion to close the meeting for tonight at 8:45 PM and Ms Pryor seconded the motion.
