APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:

VARIANCE REQUEST: Mr. Joe Oliver representing the request for a carport extension in the front yard at 512 Brewer Street
Vice Chairman Walker pointed out that the variance is to add a 16' X 16' carport in front of the existing one at the residence.
Mr. Oliver said that it appears that a nine (9) ft. variance is needed for the construction. He said that posts, not an enclosed carport, is projected.
The size of the carport at present was discussed with Mr. Oliver commenting that a portion of the original one has been converted to part of the dining area.
Comments were made with regard to houses in the area and City Engineer Reel related that the particular subdivision in which the lot exists bears a 25' front yard setback and that he
did not know why the houses set back a greater distance than that from the street.
There were comments with regard to the truck being wider due to mirrors making the addition desirable.
City Engineer voiced that as long as vision is not impaired by a solid wall, that poles are used in the construction, he did not see a problem with the construction.
Mr. Oliver related that the gable roof will tie into the existing roof.

It was suggested by Commissioner Boroughs that the petitioner present written consent, to the City Engineer, from immediate

Commissioner Boroughs moved, seconded by Commissioner Nabors, to grant the variance to construct a carport, as presented, with the written consent of adjoining neighbors presented to
the City Engineer upon requesting a building permit. MOTION CARRIED.
