VARIANCE(S): a. Accessory Building Square Footage Variance 2405 Estates
Court
Chairman Brown opened the public hearing at approximately 6:01 p.m.
Petitioner Phillip Carlisle present via Zoom. Mr. Carlisle explained that
he is proposing to build a 25’ X 50’ accessory building to house his boat.
He stated that his building would meet all City codes and his subdivision
bill of assurance.
Public Works Director Jim Oakley stated that the City has no objections
as long as it meets City building code and the bill of assurance. He pointed
out that the property consists of 4 acres, so the requested size is not
an issue.
Mr. Carlisle confirmed that his property is slightly less than 5 acres.
He then answered Commissioner Hall that most of the accessory buildings
in his subdivision are about the same size. He then noted that one accessory
building is a large two car garage with an apartment on top.
Commissioner Ruple moved, seconded by Commissioner Montgomery to approve
the square footage variance regarding an accessory building at 2405 Estates
Court as requested. MOTION CARRIED.
Chairman Brown closed the public hearing at approximately 6:05 p.m.
b. Side Yard Setback Jaxon Terrace PH 14A
Chairman Brown opened the public hearing at approximately 6:06 p.m.
Mr. Aaron Robinson of Bond Engineering, as petitioner representative,
explained that when they designed this phase of the subdivision it was
designed with R-1 zoning setbacks. He related that when they got to the
final plat stage, it was determined that the property was actually R-0,
saying that the lot lines had to be adjusted. He explained that the
difference between an R-1 and an R-0 is that R-1 will allow for 60’ at the
building line and an R-0 allows for 70’. He stated that they had to move
the lot line between lots 9 and 10 further to the east, which took up part
of lot 9 in order to make lot 10 have a 70’ wide building line. He added
that in doing that they do not meet the 70’ building line on lot 9, he stated
that they are asking to get the 70’ reduced and have a 15’ side yard setback
instead of 25’ parallel to DeQuincy Road.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REGULAR MEETING
December 14, 2020 6:00 p.m. – 6:14 p.m.
He noted that the driveway will have to access Rope Trail off of DeQuincy
instead of a side drive.
Public Works Director Jim Oakley stated that they had confirmed with Mr.
Robinson when the lot lines were moved that the narrower lot would not be
an issue. He then added that he would not want it to become a habit that
side lot lines are reduced to 15’. He stated that it will work as Mr.
Robinson has depicted, but he would not want this to become an ordinary
issue.
Chairman Brown issued concerns regarding the driveway and Public Works
Director Jim Oakley confirmed with Mr. Robinson that both lots 9 and 10
would load off of Rope Trail.
Public Works Director Jim Oakley then noted that lot 8 could experience
some sight impairment by reducing the setback for lot 9. He explained that
if the driveway were to load on the left side of the lot that would offer
a greater sight view.
Mr. Robinson stated that lot 8, just because of the way that DeQuincy Drive
is, they will want that driveway on the uphill side, which will be between
lots 7 and 8. He explained that if you put the driveway on the low side
you will have to use more fill just to get the driveway into the garage.
He stated that the driveway will be on the uphill side of lot 8. He then
stated that he would be drawing the plot plans for those lots, ensuring
Public Works Director Jim Oakley that the City would want the driveway on
that side because if it were between lot 8 and 9 it would have to be closer
to the house.
Public Works Director Jim Oakley concurred saying that he would like to
have the driveway between lots 7 and 8. Mr. Robinson concurred.
Commissioner Hall moved, seconded by Commissioner Montgomery to approve
the side yard setback to 15’ for Lot 9 and contingent that Lot 8’s driveway
be placed between lots 7 and 8. MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT:
Without objection, Chairman Brown adjourned the meeting at approximately
6:14 p.m. MOTION CARRIED.
Respectfully,
