There was no one present who opposed this application; however, the

manager of the property, Mr. Jack Land, wrote a letter objecting to the use of

the house for a Home Occupation, even though the applicant's grandmother, who

rents the property, had written a letter giving him permission to work out of

one room of the house. Also, there was a letter from an adjacent property

owner, Mr. Frank Turman, who objected because this will bring more traffic into

the neighborhood.

VARIANCES

CASE NO. 04-V87: Approved

John Morrison of John Morrison Construction presented the appeal of Dr.

Vincent Nicolais, 5110 Midland Trace, for a variance to reduce the rear yard

setback requirement from 40 feet to 32 feet, in order to make an addition of a

living room and a garage to an existing single family residence. The property

is zoned A-1.

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

Morrison gave the following information: They will use materials that match

the existing house. There is a 10-foot grade drop off in the rear of the lot.

There was no one present who objected to this application.

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

this appeal because the materials will match; this is an odd shaped lot; and

there was no opposition from the neighbors. Motion carried unanimously.

CASE NO. 04-V88: Denied

Charles Thomas, 7805 Veterans Parkway, presented his appeal for a variance to

reduce the required setback inside the property line from 3 feet to 2 inches,

in order to erect a portable sign, 4 feet X 8 feet, to advertise Charles & Di

Antique Shop. The property is zoned C-3.

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

Thomas gave the following information: He is asking for a variance on his shop

sign from 3? to 2? to advertise his business ?Charles & Di Antiques?. He has

rented this sign for over 12 years from a sign rental company. He decided to

buy his own sign and put it in the same spot. The Sign Inspector told him the

sign must be 3 feet from the property line and it has been reduced to 3 feet 4

inches. This is a heavily sloped lot. To put it at 3 feet would have one end

standing on its side. The sign is 6 feet 10 inches outside the property line.

The posts have already been erected.

There was no one present who objected to this application.

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

appeal since the appellant has other options as to where he can place his

signs. Motion carried unanimously.

CASE NO. 04-V89: Approved

David Fox presented the appeal of Pinnacle Homes, Inc., 6016 Hunter

Road, for a variance to reduce the side corner yard setback requirement of a

corner lot from 25 feet to 19.5 feet, in order to erect a single family

residence, 49' X 40' X 24'. The property is zoned R-2.

Mr. Fox stepped down as a Board Member and stated that he would abstain

from voting since he is employed by Pinnacle Homes. In his statement and in

response to questions by the Board Members, Mr. Fox gave the following

information: All lots along this road on the corners have a setback of 25 feet

on the rear and on the sides. They have a contract to build on this lot. The

lot is relatively flat. They bought this lot because it was a flat lot on the

street side. The encroachment is 5 feet.

When the Chairperson asked for any objections, Mrs. Sara Daniel, 6000

Hunter Drive, came forward. She stated that when Pinnacle Homes first started

working in this neighborhood she gave them permission to cross her lot and

driveway with their equipment. The driveway and shrubbery were damaged. She

would like for her property to be repaired before they do anything else. Her

husband died only a few months ago and she has no one to fight for her.

Mr. Edwards asked Mrs. Daniel what her objection is; He told her that

the Board can deal only with the variance that has been requested. Mrs. Daniel

replied that she will get a chair and sit there with a sign that reads, "You

are a fool if you buy this lot." Mr. Fox assured her that before the house is

completed her property will be repaired. Mr. Lewis assured her that she will

be taken care of. As Mrs. Daniel left the front, the audience gave her a loud

round of applause.

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

this appeal because these are small lots and would probably need a variance in

order to develop them. Motion carried unanimously by the four members who

voted. Mr. Fox abstained from voting and left the room prior to the discussion

of the other board members concerning this case.

CASE NO. 04-V90: Approved

Howard F. Pound, 2835 Roswell Lane, presented his appeal for a variance

to reduce the rear yard setback requirement from 30 feet to 25 feet, in order

to make an addition of a garage and other additions to a single family

residence. The property is zoned R-1A.

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

Pound gave the following information: This is his home; the 25-foot setback

has been existing for 40 years; the back corner is the only part of the lot

that requires a variance.

There was no one present who objected to this application.

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

appeal because the back of the existing house already has a 25-foot setback and

it has caused no problems. Motion carried unanimously.

CASE NO. 04-V91: Approved

Mr. Wright Wade, 5604 Dearborn Avenue, Lot #1, presented his appeal for

a variance to reduce the side yard setback requirement of a corner lot from 25

feet to 20 feet, and to reduce the lot area requirement from 7500 square feet

to 6400 square feet, in order to erect a single family residence. This appeal

is pending the repeat and rezoning of this property from R-1 to R-2.

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

Wade gave the following information: Planning Division has recommended the

approval of this variance. Also, they have had the survey changed to reduce

the lot area from 7500 square feet to 6,215 square feet, instead of the 6,400

square feet, which was originally requested. This is a corner lot and no one

owns the property next door since this is a City right-of-way.

There was no one present who objected to this application.

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

this appeal because the City right-of-way encroachment makes this a

sub-standard lot and they do have the approval of the Planning Division.

Motion carried unanimously.

CASE NO. 04-V92: Denied

Ben Moon presented the appeal of Ronald Edwards, 9520 Whitesville Road,

for a variance to reduce the width lot from the required 125 feet to 25 feet,

in order to erect 2 single family residences. This appeal is pending the

replat of this property. The property is zoned A-1.

Mr. Edwards stepped down as a Board Member and stated that he would

abstain from voting since he is employed by Ronald Edwards Construction

Company, Inc.

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

Moon gave the following information: These lots are 3.1 acre lots which they

wish to divide to make two lots from each one. Planning Division has

recommended denial of this appeal. A letter from Planning was presented, added

to the file, and making it a part of these minutes.

When the Chairperson asked for any objections, ten people came forward. They

were as follows: Ms. Eileen Oravic, 9515 Whitesville Road, Mr. Jasper Woodham,

9448 Whitesville Road, Mrs. Gail Woodham, 9448 Whitesville Road, Mr. Barry

Johnson, 9437 Whitesville Road, Mr. Bob Williams, 9409 Whitesville Road, Mr.

Gary Cummings, 9635 Whitesville Road, Mr. George Bullard, 9406 Whitesville

Road, Mrs. Dorothy Bishop, 9700 Whitesville Road, Mr. Ray Minalski, 9520

Whitesville Road, and Mrs. Bonner, 9520 Whitesville Road, came forward. Some

of the reasons these 10 people objected to this appeal included the following:

They all have large lots, which they bought because of the country atmosphere

and open space. The current residents all have at least 3.1 acre lots and some

of them have more acreage so they can have horses and donkeys. They want this

to remain agricultural. If this is approved, they will no longer have the

country atmosphere. If it is approved, it will set a precedent for others to

make this same appeal for another lot.

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

appeal because this would create a flag lot, and because of the strong

objections of the neighbors. Motion carried unanimously.

CASE NO. 04-V93: Approved

David Jacobs, Pastor, presented the appeal of Calvary Assembly of God

Church, 8100 Cooper Creek Road, for a variance to increase the allowable size

of a sign from the maximum requirement of 15 square feet to 32 square feet.

The sign will measure 8 feet by 4 feet. The property is zoned R-1.

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

Jacobs gave the following information: Because of the location they need a

larger sign that can be more easily seen from the road.

There was no one present who objected to this appeal.

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

appeal to increase the size of the sign because there is a lot of traffic in

this area and a lot of school signs. There was no opposition. Motion carried

unanimously.

CASE NO. 04-V94: Approved

Robert Teasley, Signs Inc., presented the appeal of North Columbus Eye

Center, 7351 Old Moon Road, from a Decision of the Building Official that a

second sign is not allowed for one business. The property is zoned A-0.

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

Teasley gave the following information: They are requesting permission to have

two signs instead of the one sign allowed by the Sign Ordinance. The Sign

Ordinance allows one sign of no more than 150 square feet, with a maximum

height of 20 feet, which is the requirement of a sign in an A-O zoning

district. With the second sign they would have a total of 215 square feet.

Their hardship is the distance of the sign from Moon Road. The

southbound traffic is unable to see the current sign and A-O zoning only allows

one sign. They are requesting permission for two signs, which will give them a

total of 215 square feet in signage.

There was no one present who objected to this appeal.

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

appeal even though the Building Official is correct in his decision. This is a

unique case and the second sign would not be more than the 20 feet maximum

height and the total square footage would be only 215 square feet. Motion

carried unanimously.

CASE NO. 04-V95: Tabled

Robert Teasley, Signs, Inc., 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 guidelines. The property is zoned C-3.

Mr. Walter Jones and Mr. Freddie Blackmon Jr., were also in attendance

as representatives of the church.

In their statements and in response to questions by the Board Members,

the three men gave the following information: They are willing to work with

BHAR in regards to the size of a sign, which they would approve. He brought

out the fact that the Liberty Garden Apartments do not meet the requirements of

BHAR. The church needs to have a sign, which will communicate to their members

and to the community.

Mr. Sean Boles, Secretary of BHAR and a City Planner, stated that a

sign in The Historic District should be no more than 12 square feet. The

modern sign of the size that they want to erect would not be suitable for this

area. Mr. Boles continued by stating that they could change the materials of

the sign to meet the requirements of BHAR.

After further discussion, Chairperson Leah Braxton stated that the

Board could at this time vote ?no? to deny this appeal or they could table this

case for 30 days. That would give the church and the sign company time to

adjust the size and the materials to something on which everyone could agree.

There was no one present who objected to this application.

Mr. Edwards made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Lewis to table

this appeal until the September meeting, in order for Mr. Teasley and the

church to alter their plans so they would be acceptable and in compliance.

Motion carried unanimously.

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

have no employees. He added that Mr. Duncan is presently storing his equipment

at Mr. Coates' home. When asked if Mr. Duncan will be doing landscaping, Mr.

Coates replied that it will mostly be cutting and maintenance of lawns.

There was no one at the meeting who voiced any objections to this
