A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
GRANTING VARIANCE TO SECTION 2517(b)-7 & SECTION 3203(b)
UNIFORM BUILDING CODE (UBC)
WHEREAS, Enea Properties Company, 6670 Amador Plaza Road, has
applied for a variance to Section 2517(b)-7 & Section 3203(b) Uniform Building
Code (UBC) of the City of Dublin, so as to permit a 300 square foot gazebo to
be constructed at 6698 Amador Plaza Road, without a Class "B" fire-retardant
roof and without solid plywood sheathing; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did hold a public hearing on this matter
on June 24, 1991; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that granting the variance is
consistant with the purpose of the code and will not lessen the protection to
the people of the City and the property situated therein for the following
reasons:
1) The structure is very small (approximately 300 square feet) .
2) The structure is located 42 feet from the nearest building.
3) The structure does not have any enclosing walls.
4) The structure is a decorative landscape feature and does not have any
designated use or occupancy and is not likely to be used for any purpose.
5) The structure is temporary because it is located in the right-of-way of a
future street.
6) The hazard of untreated wood shingles can be mitigated by having the
surface of the shingles treated periodically.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council does
hereby grant the requested variance subject to the condition that the wood
shingles be treated with fire-retardant chemicals which are capable of
providing a Class B fire-retardant classification every two years.
