Building line Setback Variance at 613 North First Street Chairman Keaton opened the public hearing at approximately 6:30 p.m. Mrs. Sheryl Zimmerman, owner of Huff n’ Puff stated that the proposal is to add on to the existing building, adding that she is requesting a setback variance. She explained that there is approximately 25’ behind the building located to the front of Huff n’ Puff, adding that her request would be for a 5’ building line. She added that there is 25’ between the two buildings, and the Fire Chief has given approval for the proposal. Discussion ensued regarding a possible variance for the rear yard setback and Mrs. Zimmerman stated that she is asking to make the rear portion of the addition flush with the existing building. City Engineer Whisker related that the Fire Marshall was not opposed to the expansion plans, adding that the property has an odd shape because of the ditch to the rear of the property. He added that because of the topography of the land, the direction of the expansion is limited to the proposal being submitted. Project engineer Phillip Keaton stated that adjacent property owner has agreed to the sale and replat with a granted access to additional parking. City Engineer Whisker noted that the easement would be through lots 4 and 5, which will be presented to the Planning Commission. He explained that the Fire Marshall has requested that a sprinkler system be placed throughout the entire building. He added that following discussions with Mrs. Zimmerman, she is aware drainage issues will be her responsibility. He asked that any motion for approval include the stipulation that the Planning Commission approve the replat. Chairman Keaton closed the public hearing at approximately 6:39 p.m. Commissioner Gray moved, seconded by Commissioner Traylor to approve the proposal with any setback variances as needed, stipulating the approval of the replat by the Planning Commission.

He stated that relocation would be helpful regarding the 85’ setback established at an earlier visit to the Planning Commission. He stated that the size of the pool house has been increased to 40’ X 60 and the size of the bus barn is 44’ X 60. He continued that the pool house will contain an 18’ X 32’ indoor pool, which is the reason for the size increase. He added that the property is approximately 10 acres of land. City Engineer Whisker related that the relocation was mainly because of wetland issues at the southern end of the property. He noted that the square footage increased for the accessory buildings following a redesign of the plans. He reiterated that the property consists of approximately 10 acres and that the main house will be between 5 and 6 thousand square feet. In response to a question posed by Chairman Keaton, Mr. Huiett answered that there would not be any height issues regarding either building. It was noted that the pool house would not be visible from the street because of landscaping. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Traylor, City Engineer Whisker concurred that the building would be 15’ from the property line. Chairman Keaton closed the public hearing at approximately 6:45 p.m. Commissioner Gray moved, seconded by Commissioner Traylor to approve the square footage variances as requested. MOTION CARRIED.
