CASES TABLED FROM THE SEPTEMBER 1ST MEETING.



Case No. 04-V95--Tabled.



Billy Hanson, Signs Inc., and Walter Jones, presented the appeal of Greater

Beulah Baptist Church, 613 Sixth Avenue, from a Decision of the Board of

Historic and Architectural Review to deny approval of a sign that is not in

keeping with the Historic District?s guidelines. The property is zoned C-3.



In their statements and in response to questions from the Board Members, Mr.

Hanson and Mr. Jones gave the following information: An agreement has not been

made yet, but they do have a compromise and it will not be settled until they

meet with the Board of Historic and Architectural Review. They would like to

table this case for next month, the November meeting, until they meet with

BHAR.



BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/06/2004





Leah Braxton, Chairperson, stated, the B.Z.A. members received a letter from

Sean Boles, Principal Planner, stating that a subcommittee for BHAR has worked

out a compromise with Greater Beulah Baptist Church for the sign. The

compromise is 32 square feet (total), brick surround, glass or plexi glass

front casing and sign to be 1? off the ground. The full BHAR has not yet heard

or voted on the compromise but is scheduled to do so on Tuesday October 12th.



Also, if this is what Mr. Hanson and Mr. Jones agreed upon, they will not have

to come before the BZA in November for a variance if they compromise. It will

be settled after BHAR approves this.



Mr. Hanson and Mr. Jones stated that will be fine.



David Fox, BZA Member, stated, there are a lot of members on the BHAR Board and

Greater Beulah Baptist Church should be kept on the November agenda in case

everyone does not agree to the compromise.



Sean Boles, Principal Planner, Planning, stated, Elizabeth Barker of Historic

Columbus Foundation and Allison Slocomb of The Lower Chattahoochee Regional

Development Center are both Historic Preservation Planners that have worked

with Greater Beulah Baptist Church to come up with some kind of compromise.

BHAR is scheduled to meet on September 13th and at that time they would ask Mr.

Blackmon and the Church representatives to come back and they will be put back

on the agenda. BHAR wants to work out some type of compromise with them on the

sign.



Leah Braxton, Chairperson, stated, that meeting should occur before The Board

of Zoning Appeals make some type of vote. BHAR and the Church could make a

compromise and the BZA could make a better determination.



Mr. Blackmon and Mr. Hanson agreed with Leah Braxton.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Mr. Fox made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Edwards,

to table this appeal until the November meeting to allow them to

finalize with the Board of Historic and Architectural Review.

Motion carried unanimously.

The property is zoned R-3.



In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members,

Mr. Johnson gave the following information: They would like to move the house

Also, they have trees they are trying to save in the rear.

this appeal because allowing the house to be moved forward it will be lined up

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/06/2004





Case No. 04-V122?-Granted.



James Johnson presented the appeal of Columbus Housing Initiative, Inc., 2809

Baldwin Street, for a variance to reduce the front yard setback requirement

from 20 feet to 15 feet, in order to erect a single family residence, 28? x

51?. The property is zoned R-3.



In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members, Mr.

Johnson gave the following information: This case is very similar to 04-V121.

They would like to move the house 5 feet closer to the front because they are

building next to adjoining houses. Also, they have trees they are trying to

save in the rear.

There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Mr. Edwards made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. King, to grant

this appeal because allowing the house to be moved forward it will be lined up

with the existing houses and more trees will be saved. Motion carried

unanimously.



Case No. 04-V123?-Granted.



Tobie Lee Tomlinson, 4540 Marci Court, presented his appeal for a variance to

reduce the rear yard setback requirement from 30 feet to 12 feet, in order to

make an addition, a garage, 21? x 23?, to a single family residence. The

property is zoned R-1A.



In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members, Mr.

Tomlinson gave the following information: When he bought this house the garage

was very old and it wasn?t built correctly. It had no pressure treated wood at

the base and was rotting. He tore it out and was in the process of rebuilding

on the existing pad and was told he needed a permit. When he applied for the

permit, he found out he was 12 feet from the back of the property line and

should be 30 feet. He is on a corner lot which leaves very little space. The

material used will be vinyl siding.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Mr. Fox made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. King, to grant this appeal

because this is a corner lot and Mr. Tomlinson is replacing a garage on an

existing slab. It is not encroaching any further than the previous garage.

The backyard is already substandard. Motion carried unanimously.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/06/2004





Case No. 04-V124?-Granted.



Eddie Palmer, 3544 Howard Avenue, and Ricky Biggers, Biggers Construction,

from 8 feet to 3 feet, in order to make an addition, 12? x 14?, a bathroom, to

a single family residence. The property is zoned R-3A.



In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members, Mr.

Palmer and Mr. Biggers gave the following information: He would like to add a

bathroom to his home. The rest of the house is already 3 feet from the

property line. He couldn?t find the same brick to match the house so he is

going to use hard board siding material.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Mr. King made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Lewis, to grant this appeal

because the house is currently 3 feet from the property line and the addition

will not encroach any further than the house. Motion carried unanimously.



Case No. 04-V125?-Granted.



Jack Hughston presented the appeal of CB&E Development Company, 0 Gettysburg

Way Lot 2, for a variance to reduce the lot width requirement from 60 feet to

30 feet, in order to erect a single family residence (replat pending). The

property is zoned R-2.



In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members, Mr.

Hughston gave the following information: Case No. 04-V125 and 04-V126 were

addressed at the same time because they are very similar. There is a street

coming in with a sanitary easement fallout behind it which will not allow them

to put in a cul-de-sac. They would like to split the street and put a driveway

on each side. The land drops off.



Planning recommends approval of this request. The memorandum from Planning is

attached and therefore is considered a part of these minutes.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.

In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members,

Mr. Hughston gave the following information: Case No. 04-V127 and 04-V128 were

addressed at the same time because they are very similar. Due to the

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/06/2004





Case No. 04-V129?-Granted.



Joe Bridges presented the appeal of Eugene Crouch, 8801 River Road Lot 1, for a

variance to reduce the lot width requirement from 125 feet to 30 feet, in order

to replat an existing lot. The property is zoned A-1.



In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members, Mr.

Bridges gave the following information: 04-V129 and 04-V130 were addressed at

the same time. Georgia DOT is talking about having an entrance in there. He

can put three lots at 40,000 square feet with a 125 feet frontage. This would

be the optimal use for the property. There will be one driveway on the 60 feet

easement and the lots would come off of the driveway. The driveway will be

used by all of the (4) property owners. He was looking at how to best use the

property aesthetically and functionally having a driveway everyone accessing

it. The variance is for smaller road frontage. There are 4 lots and he will

build on lot 1, sale two and keep one in his position.



Planning recommends approval of this request. The memorandum from Planning is

attached and therefore is considered a part of these minutes.



When the Chairperson asked for opposition John Kelly representing River Falls

Homeowner Association, Ronnie Akins of Georgia State Park and Gerald Blackmon

representing Blackmon Realty Company came forward. Their concerns are: with

the lot being 6? acres will it be suitable to all of the other lots in River

Falls, if the lot is divided into four it would not be in character of the

area, the property adjoins Standing Boy Creek State Park and they would like a

privacy fence to be put up, will the driveway be private and will the house be

more than 2700 square feet. There was a petition with signatures from 18

residents of River Falls Subdivision who oppose this request.



After Mr. Ronnie Akins was told that the property does not adjoin Standing Boy

Creek State Park, they do not oppose this request.



Mr. Gerald Blackmon withdrew the opposition after finding out what Mr. Bridges

plans to do. They were mainly concerned with the type of house that would be

constructed.





9

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/06/2004





Mr. John Kelly representing River Falls Homeowner Association is still in

opposition.



Mr. King made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Lewis, to grant this appeal

because there is another subdivision in the area that has lots similar in size,

with the stipulation that 1 access easement will be recorded for all 4 lots.

over 1 acre each. Motion carried by a vote of 4 to 1 with Mr. Edwards voting

against the motion.

40?. The property is zoned C-3.

In his statement and in response to questions from the Board Members,

Mr. Catrett gave the following information: (This case was denied at the June

meeting) The plans have been revised. In the June meeting one of the Board

Members stated the building was a trailer, but it is not, it is a modular

building. When he presented the case in June he failed to paint the Board of

Zoning Appeals members a picture of what was being done. He along with Roy

Cook are franchising hot dogs. They want to put some of the buildings in

Columbus and hopefully it will be the hometown of the franchise. The building

will have a nostalgia look, it will have six big windows in the front, block on

the bottom and it will have a deck. He also owns Anna Marie?s Catering

Service, which will be in the back of the hot dog building.

appeal because this is a corner lot and they are using only one sign. This

unanimously.



Case No. 04-V136--Granted.



Johnny Cargill, Cargill Design Remodel, Inc. and Will Barnes presented the

appeal of 3227 Park Avenue, for a variance to reduce the front yard setback

14



BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/06/2004





In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. Cargill and Mr. Barnes gave the following information: Case No.

04-V136 thru 04-V154 were presented at the

same time because they are similar cases. These are existing non-conforming

lots. Typically in a non-conforming lot situation the side setback can be

reduced to 3 feet. Some of the exceptions are on the side corner. They are

not asking for anything less for what already exists. They would like to

maintain what is going on up there to support the typical family. They would

like to bring back children, bicycles and dogs, the sidewalks are already in

place. They would like to bring to this area single family cottage style

homes. The houses will be approximately 1900 square feet. There will be

on-street parking or tight street parking. Lot 16 is different than the other

lots, it is a side corner and it will be 32 inches from the property line.





Planning recommends approval of this request. The memorandum from

Planning is attached and therefore is considered a part of these minutes.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.

request. They support the project to revitalize Bibb City. There was also a

letter from Rick McNight who also supports this project.



Mr. Fox made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Edwards, to grant this

appeal to erect a single family residence. This is a very older part of town,

when Columbus acquired Bibb City they did a blanket rezoning that didn?t fit

what was existing. This is part of a bold renovation project to update this

area. Lot 16 is a corner side yard and has a 20 feet setback requirement,

reducing it to 3 feet. Motion carried unanimously.



Case No. 04-V137--Granted.

In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. Cargill and Mr. Barnes gave the following information: These are

existing non-conforming lots. Typically in a non-conforming lot situation the

side setback can be reduced to 3 feet. Some of the exceptions are on the side

corner. They are not asking for anything less for what already exists. They

would like to maintain what is going on up there to support the typical

family. They would like to bring back children, bicycles and dogs, the

sidewalks are already in place. They would like to bring to this area single

family cottage style homes. The houses will be approximately 1900 square

feet. There will be on-street parking or tight street parking. Lot 16 is

different than the other lots, it is a side corner and it will be 32 inches

from the property line.

Planning recommends approval of this request. The memorandum from

Planning is attached and therefore is considered a part of these minutes.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Ed Helten, Arnette Santiago and Brent Buck came forward in support of this

request. They support the project to revitalize Bibb City. There was also a

letter from Rick McNight who also supports this project.



Mr. Fox made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Edwards, to grant this

appeal to erect a single family residence. This is a very older part of town,

when Columbus acquired Bibb City they did a blanket rezoning that didn?t fit

what was existing. This is part of a bold renovation project to update this

area. Lot 16 is a corner side yard and has a 20 feet setback requirement,

reducing it to 3 feet. Motion carried unanimously.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/06/2004





Case No. 04-V152--Granted.



Johnny Cargill, Cargill Design Remodel, Inc., and Will Barnes presented the

appeal of 3240 River Avenue, for a variance to reduce the front yard setback

requirement from 20 feet to 10 feet and to reduce the rear yard setback

requirement from 30 feet to 15 feet and to increase the lot coverage from 50%

to 60% and to reduce the off-street parking from 2 to 0, in order to erect a

single family residence, 43? x 68?. The property is zoned R-3A.



In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. Cargill and Mr. Barnes gave the following information: These are

existing non-conforming lots. Typically in a non-conforming lot situation the

side setback can be reduced to 3 feet. Some of the exceptions are on the side

corner. They are not asking for anything less for what already exists. They

would like to maintain what is going on up there to support the typical

family. They would like to bring back children, bicycles and dogs, the

sidewalks are already in place. They would like to bring to this area single

family cottage style homes. The houses will be approximately 1900 square

feet. There will be on-street parking or tight street parking. Lot 16 is

different than the other lots, it is a side corner and it will be 32 inches

from the property line.

Planning recommends approval of this request. The memorandum from

Planning is attached and therefore is considered a part of these minutes.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Ed Helten, Arnette Santiago and Brent Buck came forward in support of this

request. They support the project to revitalize Bibb City. There was also a

letter from Rick McNight who also supports this project.



Mr. Fox made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Edwards, to grant this

appeal to erect a single family residence. This is a very older part of town,

when Columbus acquired Bibb City they did a blanket rezoning that didn?t fit

what was existing. This is part of a bold renovation project to update this

area. Lot 16 is a corner side yard and has a 20 feet setback requirement,

reducing it to 3 feet. Motion carried unanimously.

Christy Griffen presented the appeal of Dayo Obebe, 7209 Moon Road, from a

Decision of the Building Official that a 2nd sign is not allowed and to reduce

the setback of the sign from 3 feet to 2 feet. The property is zoned A-O.



In her statement and in response to questions from the Board Members,

Ms. Griffen gave the following information: Going up Moon Road the sign is not

visible because it sits so far from the road. Mr. Obebe does have one sign that

is in the middle, but it was on the right of way and it is visible from both

sides.



Billy Edwards abstained from the discussion and voting of this case

because he constructed the building for Mr. Dayo Obebe.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Mr. Fox made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Lewis, to grant this

appeal although the Building Official is correct. This site has a

topographical challenge, the building is in a hole and the sign needs to be

visible for traffic. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board

Members with Mr. Billy Edwards abstaining from the vote.
