VARIANCE(S): Rear Yard Setback Variance 207 South Redmond Road
Chairman Brown opened the public hearing at approximately 6:04 p.m.
Chairman Brown stated that the normal setback is 25’ and the petitioner
is requesting that he be allowed to basically eliminate the setback in order
to extend three or four buildings to the property line.
Petitioner Preston Robinson explained that the south property line
currently has parking spaces for vehicles, small RVs, or trailers, and he
would like to eliminate that and put in some buildings. He added because
of the distant between the existing buildings and where the parking is,
he needs that as a drive, therefore he is asking to eliminate the setback
so he can put the buildings on the rear property line that backs up to the
old aeriation pond for the Wastewater Treatment Plant, which he does not
foresee will ever be used. He assured the Board that if you drove by and
looked at it, you would see that it is just a space where deer run, so there
is nothing back there and he cannot imagine anything would ever be built
back there. He recalled that it was under EPA control at one time and may
still be, but he feels no one would ever use it or buy that property if
they are picky regarding the record.
Commissioner Twitty noted that there is no residential out there, only rural
land with an old pond.
Mr. Robinson clarified that he believes the pond has been filled in, so
there is nothing back there, but does not think anyone would ever do anything
with it. He pointed out that Council Member Dietz is in the real estate
business and he could not ever buy property like that because that would
haunt him forever; no one would want to take title to it.
Public Works Director Jim Oakley related that he and Engineering Tech
Mylissa Griggs looked into this and agrees with what Mr. Robinson has said.
He stated that the City of Jacksonville owns quite a bit of land back in
there, it was under EPA restrictions to build on, and the City has no
objection on this request.
Chairman Brown closed the public hearing at approximately 6:08 p.m.
Council Member Dietz moved, seconded by Commissioner Twitty to approve the
rear yard setback variance for 207 South Redmond Road. MOTION CARRIED.
