Ms. Toni Leach
APPEARANCE : Ms. Toni Leach, Administrator - St. Columba
John Monge, Custodian
SUBJECT: Appellant is requesting a variance from code
requirement, having to disconnect the rainleaders.
PROCEEDINGS: Ms. Leach stated that the issue on the rainleader
is very complex. The majority of the water is on the main
roof. The water drains go together to four drain spouts on the
top of the roof, these come together, and go down thru the middle
of concrete pillars , all the way thru the church.
Steve Herbert , from the Rainleader Division stated that there was
a bid for $13 ,543 . 00 to go to ground. with exterior scuppers and
downspouts.
Ms. Leach stated that the parishioners are very unhappy about
installing the downspouts on the outside of the church, as they
feel it will spoil the architecture of the outside.
7
� �.q,�a,a�
Chairman Glassman referred to a letter, from the Heritage
Preservation Commission regarding the issue of disconnection on
the rainleaders, which states that the project would 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 weil 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. Colurnba'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 Bili Tilton with a
friendly amendment, that the motion would include, that a letter
be written to the Sewer Division, from the Boardrnembers
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.

! 1 unit )
APPEARANCE James Ree
SUBJEC�r: Ap�ellant is requesting a variance from code
requirement, having to disconnect rainleaders .
FkOCEEDINGS: Appellant feels if they have to disconnect
rainleaders it will definitely create a prob�lem with water in the
basement. 5ometime 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
Rainleader 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 suqgested 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 ACTTON: 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
the grass. Seconded by Don Weida. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

The Appellant was before the Board two years ago, at that time
the Board granted a variance for this property, untii a storm
sewer was installed in the area, or in front of the house, at

The Appellant is requesting that he be allowed to disconnect the
rainleaders in stages, rather than all at one time.
BOARD ACTION: Motion made by Don Weida to deny the request for a
variance on disconnection of rainleaders. The Appellant was
