APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:
Commissioner Reid moved, seconded by Commissioner Boroughs that the minutes of the Board of Adjustment Meeting of August 24, 1994 be APPROVED. MOTION CARRIED.
Chairman Brannen voiced the request for a front yard setback at 716 Beverly Drive. He related that the property is zoned for R-0 uses, which allows for a 35ft. setback. He then related
that the plat has been designated as a 30ft. setback leaving four feet between the adjoining properties.
Commissioner Reid voiced concerns with regard to easements.
Chairman Brannen related that there is no other similar construction located on Beverly Drive.
Discussion ensued as to the type of structure and design desired by the petitioner.
At this time Chairman Brannen read the letter of request from the petitioners.
Commissioner Green related that he found it hard to accept a variance of twenty feet leaving only a ten to fourteen-foot setback, adding his concern that if granted other residents might
request the same variance for setbacks. He stated that he would be hard pressed to grant such variances.
Discussion ensued as to the petitioners needs with regard to the request of variance and the precedence this type of approved variance might create.
