APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:
VARIANCE(S): a. Setback Variance at 2217 Memorial Drive
Chairman Moore opened the public hearing at approximately 6:31 p.m.
Representative Rhonda Williams related that in selling the house, a survey revealed that the house was built over the setback. She stated the need for a variance for the sale of the
property.
Commissioner Brannen clarified that the need for the variance was because of a part of the home built between the carport and patio measuring 14.6 X 20 feet.
City Engineer Whisker stated that the house was originally constructed in 1972 and another building permit was taken out in 1974. He explained that the carport and extension was constructed
with one of those building permits. He explained that house was constructed on the north half of lots 1 & 2. He stated that the north half was separated for the construction of this
house and then another house was built on the south half of those lots. He explained that this is why there is a 35’ setback on the north building line, which would have been the front
building line but became the side building line when they faced the house toward Memorial Drive. He added that he could not speak to what the thought process was back in 1974.
He then answered Chairman Moore that the carport is part of the setback variance since it has a roof.
City Engineer Whisker noted that the part of the carport and porch extend into the 25’ setback for the front of the house. He stated that either way it would require a variance, noting
that the conditions have existed for almost 40 years.
Chairman Moore closed the public hearing at approximately 6:34 p.m.
Alderman Howard moved, seconded by Commissioner Healey to approve the setback variance as requested for 2217 Memorial Drive. MOTION CARRIED.
b. Setback Variance 3301 North Ridge Drive
Petitioner was not present to represent the item of business.
Alderman Howard moved, seconded by Commissioner Healey to table the item of business until the next regularly scheduled Board of Adjustment meeting of April 14, 2014. MOTION CARRIED.
