VARIANCE(S): Side Yard Setback 501 Jessica Court Chairman Young opened the public hearing at approximately 6:30 p.m. Mrs. Tammy Jeffery of 501 Jessica Court stated that she and her husband were not aware of the requirement to obtain a building permit for a Jacuzzi house in the back yard. She stated that someone from the City left a message on their door, which lead them to apply for a variance. Discussion ensued and it was determined that the variance request would be from a 5’setback to a 4’ setback. Mrs. Jeffery then answered that the roofing and siding would be identical to the primary residence. Acting City Engineer Whisker noted that when the City discovered the project it was already in the framing stage of construction. He stated that the project is 80% completed and is approximately 4’ from the property line. He then answered that the main concern would be a neighbor’s complaint that the structure is too close to the property line. He added that there is a wooden privacy fence between adjacent properties. City Clerk Susan Davitt answered that there were no calls of objection registered. Commissioner Gray noted that no one had appeared to present in opposition. He pointed out that the property had been clearly posted. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Gray, Mrs. Jeffery stated that her neighbors had visited and seen the placement of the structure with no complaint. Chairman Young closed the public hearing at approximately 6:38 p.m. Commissioner Keaton moved, seconded by Commissioner Gray to grant a 1’ side yard setback variance for property addressed as 501 Jessica Court.
