BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 11/3/2004





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

this appeal because it will match the existing design of the house and it has

The Board of Historic and Architectural Review approval. Motion carried by the

affirmative vote of the four Board Members present for this meeting.

Bob and Susan Weigl, 215 7th Street, presented their appeal for a variance to

make an addition, a porch, to a single family residence. The property is zoned

H.



In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. and Mrs. Weigl gave the following information: They realized they

have a large easement between their house and the house next door when the back

door was moved to the side of the house. The existing porch on the back of the

house has many roof lines and they want to fix that by extending the bathroom

and adding a closet. Where the existing porch was they need some type of exit

from the kitchen area. The Board of Historic and Architectural Review has

given their approval.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

this appeal because this will clean up the roof system and they have approval

from BHAR. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board Members

present for this meeting.



Case No. 04-V158?-Denied.



Barry Wells, Wells Construction, 1253 Gurr Avenue, presented his appeal for a

variance to reduce the side yard setback requirement from 8 feet to 5 feet, in

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

gave the following information: At the last Board meeting he was asked if an

additional variance would be needed and he said no, but because this is his

first time doing this it was overlooked that an additional 3 feet was needed.

If

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 11/3/2004





3 feet is taken from the width of the house the living area, the rooms will be

too small. The site plan has a driveway on it, but it will be done

differently. The house next door has a circular driveway and he would like to

put in the same kind of driveway. The plans showed lot 5 with an existing

house, the previous variance was for lot 6 had an existing house and he will

remodel it. He was showing the wrong lot to the B.Z.A. members. Because the

lots look the same, he had the lots mixed up.



Leah Braxton, Chairperson, asked Mr. Wells if had gone before the Board

of Historic and Architectural Review.



Mr. Wells stated Sean Boles told him if he was approved by B.Z.A. then he would

be approved by BHAR by Friday.



Will Johnson, Principal Planner, asked Mr. Wells if the case has gone before

BHAR.



Mr. Wells, stated no, he guess it hasn?t gone before BHAR.



Danny Cargill, Acting Secretary of the Board, stated if the driveway is going

to be moved then he would have to go back to BHAR.



When the Chairperson asked for opposition, Larry Carr and Stacey Doggett came

forward. Janice Bell stood up in opposition, but did not speak. Their

concerns are making sure enough space is between the houses, they do not want

the new house to be squeezed in and the zoning is designed to protect the

quality of the neighborhood as it is and this will lessen the

quality.

Mr. Edwards made a motion to table this appeal, motion failed because there was

no second. Mr. King made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Lewis, to deny

this appeal because this case has not gone before BHAR, there were

discrepancies in the site plan and there was opposition. Motion carried by the

affirmative vote of the four Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 04-V159?-Granted.



Ed Parker, 1718 Marilon Drive, presented his appeal for a variance to reduce

the side yard setback requirement from 8 feet to 6 feet 3 inches, in order to

make an addition, a family room, laundry room and bathroom, to a single family

residence. The property is zoned R-1A.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 11/3/2004





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

Mr. Parker gave the following information: He would like to add approximately

300 square feet to the back left of his house. The addition will be a den and

bathroom. The existing room will be made into a larger laundry room. The

house is 6 feet 3 inches from the property line and the addition will be no

closer to the property line. Similar materials will be used to match the

house.

There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal because the existing house is 6 feet 3 inches and it will not be any

closer than the existing house to the property line. Motion carried by the

affirmative vote of the four Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 04-V160?-Granted.



Sandy Bosch and Doug Hawn presented the appeal of St. Thomas Episcopal Church,

2100 Hilton Avenue, for a variance to reduce the required distance of a sign

from the property line from 3 feet to 2 feet. The property is zoned R-1A.



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

Bosch and Mr. Hawn gave the following information: They would like the sign to

be o.k. where it is presently located. The sign should be 3 feet inside the

right of way, but it is actually 2 feet. When they originally applied for the

sign it was in the same location, but it was a smaller sign. The new sign is a

bigger sign. Previously when they applied for the variance for the sign they

did not acknowledge where the sign would be.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

this appeal because the hardship would be they would have to take down the sign

and re-build it. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board

Members present for this meeting.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 11/3/2004





Case No. 04-V161--Granted.



Tommy Chapman of Signs Inc. and Dhan Parekh presented the appeal of Hilton

Garden Inn, 1500 Bradley Lake Boulevard, for a variance to reduce the required

distance of a sign from the property line from 3 feet to 0 inches. The

property is zoned A-O.



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

Chapman and Mr. Parekh gave the following information: They are asking to

reduce the required distance because the sign is on the DOT line. DOT has

approved this distance and they need approval from the City. The hardship is

they are working against the transmission easement (Georgia Power line).



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

this appeal because the hardship is the amount of space they have to put this

on between the power easement and the property line. Motion carried by the

affirmative vote of the four Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 04-V162--Granted.



Bob Crane presented the appeal for his wife Elana S. Crane, 8946 Moore Road,

for a variance to reduce the lot width requirement from 125 feet to 50 feet, in

order to replat a lot. The property is zoned A-1.



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

Mr. Crane gave the following information: He has previously gone before the

Board to be approved for 5 lots, a technicality was found that had to be

cleaned up and that is why it is going back before the Board. He is trying to

maximize the size of the lots instead of making them smaller. He would like to

make the lots 1 acre in size and have more green space.



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

attached and therefore is considered a part of these minutes.







6

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 11/3/2004

Gouge came forward. They had concerns with the quality of the neighborhood

going down, zone changes and the size of the lots.

appeal because this will increase the lot size and create more green space for

the area. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board Members

present for this meeting.

The property is zoned R-4.



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

Mr. Lisle gave the following information: They have a monument sign that

identifies the name of the development and the other sign is the painted logo

Sugar Mill on the side of the building. It is affected by the zoning of this

property, but it is the same as Mr. George did at Hamilton Station.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.

appeal to increase the allowable area of a ground sign from 15 square feet to
