Chairman Stroud opened the public hearing at approximately 6:31 p.m. Ms. Kyle related that due to increasing number of clients specifically in the family planning services they are experiencing a shortage of space. She related that a current room being used for storage is being proposed to be moved to a storage building to the rear of the facility. She explained that the location of the facility on the lot and the usual shape of the lot line has made placement of the storage building difficult. She related that the proposed location would make supplies accessible to the facility, noting most of the employees are females over 50 years of age. City Engineer Whisker concurred that the unusual shape of the property does not allow the storage building to be placed at the rear of the facility and noted that Ms. Kyle has spoken to her adjacent neighbor. Ms. Kyle stated that the owner of Arthur’s Beauty School maintains the adjacent building as an office, explaining that he had not expressed any reservations regarding the placement of the storage building. She then answered that the building is temporary in nature and could be moved if it were to later present a problem. She then explained that the building gas meter is located next to the health department and the placement of the building would not occlude any of the gas lines. In response to a question posed by Chairman Stroud, Ms. Kyle related that the drawing was not exactly to scale, explaining that the building is proposed to be located to the side rear of the building to the left of the sidewalk. She noted that the building would be in rear line with the present facility and would not be visible from the front of the building. Discussion ensued regarding the gas company’s request that the placement of the building not interfere with the ability for the gas meter to be read. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REGULAR MEETING continued: October 11, 2004 Chairman Stroud noted that the variance request would be approximately 4’, placing the location of the accessory building approximately 1’ from the property line. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Montgomery, Ms. Kyle stated that he materials to be moved into the storage building would not be flammable or biohazard in nature. She then answer that the construction of the building is metal and would be leveled on concrete blocks. Chairman Stroud closed the public hearing at approximately 6:39 p.m. Commissioner Montgomery moved, seconded by Commissioner Perry to approve a 4’ Side/Rear Yard Setback variance for an accessory building at 3000 North First Street for the Pulaski County Health Unit.
