Board of Adjustment <br />Meeting Minutes <br />August 19, 2015 <br />Page 3of6 <br />Presentation from Applicant: <br />Greg Hausen, P.E., spoke briefly stating the project will not adversely impact the <br />floodplain. <br />Public Present in Favor of Application: <br />Evan Pensic, 525 Ford Drive, Boulder, Colorado, stated he is in support of this request. <br />He asked if the board had any questions regarding how the raised beds will be <br />constructed. <br />Malmquist asked how tall they are. <br />Pensic stated 18 inches. <br />Malmquist asked if they will be anchored. <br />Pensic stated the soil weighs them down but they will also be anchored by rebar. <br />Meseck asked if the entire 32 beds were to be built as raised beds would it impact the <br />floodplain <br />Robinson stated the review anticipated all 32 beds as raised beds, so there is no impact <br />determined. <br />Public Hearing Closed / Board Discussion: <br />Meseck entered a letter from Christina Stanton into record. She was in opposition of <br />the plan as described. <br />Malmquist stated Stanton's biggest concern was she believes this will have a flood plain <br />issue. He stated he believes in the report provided by Hausen and does not believe this <br />will have an impact on the existing flood plain. <br />Ewy stated the letter talks about natural flood plain, but this flood plain has already been <br />modified. She stated the engineering approach was very conservative and the project <br />was looked at all angles. She also stated the velocities aren't that high and with the <br />anchoring the structures should be controlled. <br />Malmquist agrees with Ewy. <br />Fuller agrees. <br />Ewy made a motion to approve. Malmquist seconded the motion. <br />Roll Call Vote: <br />Chris Fuller <br />Yes <br />Leslie Ewy <br />Yes <br />James Stuart <br />Absent <br />Carl Borrmann, Vice Chair <br />Absent <br />Andrew Meseck, Chair <br />Yes <br />Gunnar Malmquist <br />Yes <br />Motion passed: <br />4 to 0 <br />
