(��-Q�a/�9 �
Chairman Glassman referred to a letter, fram the Heritaqe
Preservation Commission regarding the issue of disconnection on
the rainleaders , which states that the project wouid be extremely
difficult and very costly. The letter states, in part, "Based on
preliminary study, the Candidates and Education Committee of the
Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission believes the Church
is eligible for local historic designation and will do additional
research to confirm this. Saint Columba' s is noted in national
and international architectural guides as an inportant work of
modern church architecture. It shows the influence of German
expressionism as well as international and modern styles. "
Ron Ankeny stated that he felt that the a variance should be
granted in this case because it would create undue hardship.
After much discussion, William L. Tilton suggested that. he would
like to make a decision regarding the issue of rainleader
disconnection for St. Columba Church. Mr. Tilton advised the
Board that he would like to grant a variance for six months,
and would like the Board to write a letter to the Mr. Don Nygaard
from the Sewer Division, requesting that they work with the
Appellants to try help remedy this issue.
John Monge Custodian, stated that when the city requested
the rainleaders on the school and the rectory were to be
disconnected, there were done so as to comply with code. The
parish wants to preserve the unique and enduring architecture of
St. Columba's church and should not be marred with scuppers and
downspouts or other elements out of character with its original
design.
BOARD ACTION: Motion was made by Don Weida to grant a
variance for six (6) months . Seconded by Bill Tilton with a
friendly amendment, that the motion would include, that a letter
be written to the Sewer Division, from the Boardmembers
requesting that an Engineer from the Sewer Division work with the
Appellants to try to help remedy or resolve the issue on the
rainleader disconnection. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

requirement, having to disconnect rainleaders .
PROCEEDINGS : Appellant feels if they have to disconnect
rainleaders it wi11 definite�ly create a prob1em with water in the
basement. Sometime ago, the Appellant met with someone from the
Rainleader Division, at that time, a variance was granted. The
Appellant assumed that the issue on the rainleaders were resolved.
On July 23, 1991 the Appellant received a letter from the
Rain ) eader Division, wherein, it informed the Appellant that the
variance was a limited variance.
Ron Glassman suggested that rainleader #2 on the south side of
the house could be diverted to the east of the house toward the
front at least half-way to the retaining wall .
Mr. Ree stated that if that were to be done, it would require an
extension of 25 to 30 feet and could cause some problems such as
freezing pipes and back-up of ice.
Mr. Ree stated that he has put in lots of money into landscaping,
(trees and perennials) and he stated that there is a chance of
ruining the landscaping.
The Appellant stated that Steve Herbert, from Rainleader
Division suggested that rainleader #3 could be on the east end of
the house. Presently the rainleader is in the middle of the
house on that side. The suggestion is to slope the gutter
from east to west and have it run to the back yard.
BOARD ACTION: Motion was made by William Tilton to deny the
request for a variance on rainleaders, with the exception of the
west half of the northern gutter to remain connected to downspout
#3. An extension of time was granted until June 1 , 1992 to
raise the eastern half of the northern gutter to drain to the
east , to the northeast corner, to a new downspout and out over
