of October 14, 2002. MOTION CARRIED.
VARIANCE(S): a. Maximum Square Footage/3512 West Main Street
Mr. C. L. Phillips stated that he is representing his son Jimmy
Phillips as petitioner for the request, regarding the variance
request for a maximum square footage accessory building to be
located at 3512 W. Main Street. Mr. Phillips stated that the
accessory building is proposed to be a metal building that is being
requested for the purpose of moving lawn and construction equipment
from the yard.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Perry, Mr. Phillips
stated that his son plans to construct a concrete floor for the
metal building.
Mr. Phillips then responded to a question from Commissioner Stroud,
saying that the dimensions planned for the accessory building are to
be 40 X 20 feet.
It was noted that on the request it was 30 X 40 feet.
Chairman Perry questioned if a 30 X 40 foot building would be large
enough to place all the equipment in. He then noted from the
drawing provided that the building is proposed to have either two
double doors or two garage doors.
Chairman Perry then noted that the building is proposed to be five
foot from the north property line.
Mr. Phillips stated that it is his understanding that it would be to
the north side of the easement.
Chairman Perry questioned City Engineer Whisker if five feet would
be adequate.
City Engineer Whisker stated that five foot is what the City Code
requires.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REGULAR MEETING
November 18, 2002 continued:
Chairman Perry questioned if the Bill of Assurance for that
particular area carries requirements regarding accessory buildings
to have certain types of construction.
City Engineer Whisker responded that to his knowledge the property
is not platted, so it would not carry a Bill of Assurance.
Discussion ensued regarding the exterior requirements if there is no
Bill of Assurance for the property.
Commissioner Stroud noted that a similar variance had been granted
in the area recently. He then noted that since the main structure
sits on a hill that slopes to the rear the building would not be
visible from Main Street.
City Engineer Whisker stated that he had received complaints
regarding the vehicles and equipment being parked in the yard and
feels that the storage building will enhance the appearance of the
property.
Commissioner Boyd moved, seconded by Commissioner Stroud to approve
the maximum square footage variance at 3512 West Main. MOTION
CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT:
Chairman Perry adjourned the meeting at approximately 6:45 p.m.
MOTION CARRIED.
Respectfully,
