VARIANCE(S): Building Line Setback Variance #1 Paradise Park Road
Chairman White opened the public hearing at approximately 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Tommy Bond of Bond Engineering related that he would be representing
Poloplaz & Air Tech Coatings owned by Mr. Mac Hogan. He stated that the
company has been very successful and needs a new warehouse. He reviewed
the location of the proposed building noting that Mr. Hogan acquired what
was once church property and is now proposing to expand his business. He
stated that the new warehouse would be located in-between the small storage
building to the rear and the fence line adjacent to AGL properties. He then
noted that the AGL entrance is a private drive and Paradise Park Road leads
to the public lake. He added that Mr. Hogan owns both side of Paradise
Park Road down to where the City’s property starts. He related that the
construction would not be possible without variances. He stated that the
building would front Paradise Park Road, adding that currently Mr. Hogan
is using the old church building as a research and development center for
his paint company and the other building is used for maintenance. He related
that Mr. Hogan covered the church building in gray metal to match his other
buildings located on the property, adding that the property has a great
appearance.
City Engineer Whisker related that the company has created an innovated
covering for basketball and volley ball courts, which is being used by the
NBA and is a required cover. He added that courts being built in China
are having shipping containers of this product imported. He noted that
the business is doing well and they need the warehouse space for shipping
purposes. He stated that the property fronts Redmond Road and Paradise
Park Road, adding that he had spoken with the Fire Marshal who did not see
any reason not to proceed with the variances. He noted that setbacks usually
have to do with fire codes but Mr. Hogan owns the land to the north and
south, adding that the City does not see a reason not to grant the variance.
Discussion ensued regarding the orientation of what is considered the
property frontage. City Engineer Whisker stated that he considers Redmond
Road to be the property frontage, adding that Mr. Bond believes it to be
Paradise Park Road because Poloplaz goes back and forth across the Road
so they treat Paradise Park Road as the front. He added that for the City’s
purposes the front is Redmond Road.
Mr. Bond noted that the only adjoining property is AGL.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REGULAR MEETING
November 14, 2016 6:30 p.m. – 6:41 p.m.
City Engineer Whisker then answered Chairman White that parking is not an
issue, since this is only a warehouse facility for his product. He went
on to say that there is a waterline that currently runs underneath the
property but the Water Department will have to make those decisions on how
to work that out. He then added that the plan is to remove the line so that
it is not an issue.
Mr. Bond clarified that when the request was submitted the Water Department
went out to the property and found a 12” waterline, adding that the owner
was not aware there was a waterline. He stated that there is no need for
one but evidently it has been there for 20 plus years so there is an easement
by prescription. He stated that several options have been proposed to the
Water Department to resolve the issue, adding that they have not yet
submitted an answer. He stated that one option is to relocate the line,
while another is that there is a new line that on the side of the property
making this line able to be disconnected.
City Engineer Whisker then answered Chairman White that any issues other
than setback would be a consideration for the Planning Commission during
the building permit stage.
Commissioner Healey moved, seconded by Commissioner Scholl to approve the
setback variance at #1 Paradise Park Road as requested. MOTION CARRIED.
Chairman White closed the public hearing at approximately 6:41 p.m.
ADJOURNMENT:
Without objection, Chairman White adjourned the meeting at approximately
6:41 p.m. MOTION CARRIED.
Respectfully,
