APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:
Commissioner Boyd moved, seconded by Commissioner Stroud to approve the minutes of the Regularly Scheduled Board of Adjustment meeting 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,
