VARIANCE REQUEST: Mr. Jerry L. Halbrook 216 Poplar Street
Chairman Perry introduced the item of business for an extended or double carport.
City Engineer Reel related that the property is adjacent to a vacant lot with an alley that goes through to Vine Street.
Commissioner Walker related that the request is for an 11.4 wide carport and noted that the owner has 11.8 feet of remaining property; asking if this would include the overhang of the
roof to be constructed.
Mr. Halbrook explained that his measurement of 11.4 begun from the outside wall of the existing carport which also has a roof with a slight overhang.
Commissioner Walker expressed concern only that the overhang might take the construction across the property line.
Mr. Halbrook assured the Board that the carport would not protrude into the property line.
It was noted in discussion that the carport would be free standing and constructed of aluminum. City Engineer Reel related that the vacant lot is adjacent to Mr. Halbrooks property
and the alley is located just to the other side of the vacant lot.
In response to a query from Commissioner Hardwick, Mr. Halbrook explained that his request for 11.4 feet in width came from a measurement he took which would accommodate either his wife's
car or his truck.
