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

Mr. Hanson gave the following information: The church has an existing sign on

the property on the far North side of the property down by the sanctuary. They

built a new pre-school center and they are asking for a variance for a 2nd sign

on the south side of the property. (The sign has already been installed)



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal because the hardship being the people wouldn?t know they had the day

care if it wasn?t allowed. The shape of the property that is being developed

is a long continuance set of buildings that will designate which end of the

development is actually where the day care is. Motion carried unanimously.

Decision of the Building Official that an accessory structure is not allowed in

the side yard. The property is zoned R-2.



In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. Williams and Mr. King gave the following information: He would

like to put a swimming pool in the side yard because it is the biggest

location. He had an above ground pool that he took down and would like to

replace it with an in-ground pool in the same place.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal although the Building Official is correct that an accessory structure is

not allowed in the side yard. The swimming pool will be over an existing

slab. It is the only area the pool can be placed. Motion carried unanimously.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 07/07/2004





Case No. 04-V77?-Granted.



Bitsy Dedwylder, 1808 Park Drive and Steve Cummings, Contractor, presented the

appeal for a variance to reduce the side yard setback requirement from 8 feet

to 5 feet, in order to make an addition, 26? 2? x 29? 2?, a bedroom, bathroom

and laundry room, to a single family residence. The property is zoned R-1A.



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

Dedwylder and Mr. Cummings gave the following information: The addition will

be the same material as the house. There will not be a water problem because

gutters will be added.

The Board of Historic And Architectural Review has granted the owner a

Certificate of Appropriateness for this addition. This Certificate is attached

and therefore is considered a part of these minutes.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

because Ms. Dedwylder has BHAR approval. The materials used will be similar to

the house. The addition will be no closer to the side yard than the existing

garage. Motion carried unanimously.



Case No. 04-V78?-Granted.



Julie Straus, 2201-8 Old River Road and Steve Edmonds, Builder, presented the

appeal from a Decision of the Building Official that an accessory structure is

not allowed in the front yard. The property is zoned A-1.

and it will be at least 80 feet from the road. Only the back of the garage

will be seen from the road. The same materials will be used to match the

house.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.







4

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 07/07/2004





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

appeal even though the Building Official is correct that an accessory structure

is not allowed in the front yard. The location of the house on the lot causes

the structure to be considered the front. The accessory structure will be

approximately 80 to 100 feet back from the road. Motion carried unanimously.



Case No. 04-V79?-Granted.



Trey Dykes, Dykes Builders, 8772 Heiferhorn Way, presented the appeal from a

Decision of the Building Official that an accessory structure is not allowed in

the side yard. The property is zoned A-1.



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

gave the following information: He would like to put a swimming pool in the

side yard. He can?t put it in the rear yard because it slopes and there is a

sanitary sewer. The swimming pool will have a fence around it.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal even though the Building Official is correct that an accessory structure

is not allowed in the side yard. The topography of the rear of the lot is

severe enough that the pool needs to be placed on a more flat area which is to

the side of the house. Motion carried unanimously.



Case No. 04-V80?-Granted.



Richard McGuire, Cantrell-McGuire Builders, 1038 Vineville Street, presented

the appeal for a variance to reduce the lot area from 6,000 square feet to

5,600 square feet, in order to erect a duplex. The property is zoned R-3A.



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

McGuire gave the following information: He is asking to reduce the minimum lot

area requirement because the lot is not large enough to build a duplex

home.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.







5

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 07/07/2004





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

because this size lot it typical of the neighborhood. This is an area where

lots are typically not according to present day zoning sizes, this will allow

usefulness of this lot. Motion carried unanimously.



Case No. 04-V81--Granted.



Robert Wier, 6636 Moon Road, presented his appeal for a variance to increase

the height requirement of an accessory structure from 14 feet to 18 feet. The

property is zoned R-1.



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

Mr. Wier gave the following information: He would like to build a storage

building for his mother-in-law and himself. Currently they are renting a

storage unit. He would like to build an upper and lower floor (that is why the

height requirement will be higher) instead of putting 2 or 3 buildings in the

back yard. The storage building will be the same color as the house. It will

not be visible because there are a lot of trees.



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 second story of the accessory structure will give more

storage and they would not have to use more than one storage building. It will

be a considerable distance from the road. Motion carried unanimously.



Case No. 04-V82?-Granted.



Steve Fitts, The Fitts Company, presented the appeal of Columbus Bank & Trust,

6401 Whittlesey Boulevard, for a variance to reduce the road frontage from 300

feet to 215 feet, in order to erect a 2nd sign. The property is zoned C-3.



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

Mr. Fitts gave the following information: The bank wants to add a monument

sign on the back of the property at the main entrance into the bank. The sign

will be 6? 6? x 6? 8?.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.







6

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 07/07/2004





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

this appeal to reduce the road frontage from 300 feet to 215 feet to erect a

second sign. Motion carried unanimously.



Case No. 04-V83?-Denied.



Bob Crane, 706 Moore Road Lot 1, presented the appeal for his wife, Elana

Crane, for a variance to reduce the side yard setback requirement from 28 feet

to 15 feet, in order to erect a single family residence. The property is zoned

A-1.



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

gave the following information: They are asking to reduce the side yard

setback requirement in order to be able to fit their house 100 to 125 feet back

off the front. They would like to put the house in the center of the lot, but

because of some rocks that may be impossible. They are pushing the house back

because they would like to keep the trees in the front and for privacy. They

own the adjacent lots and eventually they will build them out and have their

home as a model home. Their home will be 5900 square feet heated. He showed

the Board Members a different site plan showing moving a line and showing a

different side yard setback requirement (the house was not on the revised site

plan).

There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

because he is replatting his lot and he doesn?t need a variance. The Board

Members don?t know what the true site plan will be, a variance might be granted

for something that doesn?t necessarily have to be done. He didn?t have a site

plan that showed the driveway would fit on the lot and there were no dimensions

at all with a house on the lot. There are other options. Motion carried

unanimously.



Case No. 04-V84--Granted.



Gary Lisle and Gary Gaulett, presented the appeal of Woodruff Company, 6900

Schomburg Road, for a variance to reduce Category B?Option 1, 13 canopy trees

required, 11 shown and 51 understory trees required, 15 shown and 318 shrubs

required, 254 shown. The property is zoned R-4.





7

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 07/07/2004





In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. Lisle and Mr. Gaulett gave the following information: They have

an area of this property that adjoins R-2 owned by Georgia Power, 1270 linear

feet, it adjoins the R-4 apartments. The landscape work that they are doing on

the apartments and the club house, they have partial compliance with that

particular area of the buffer ordinance. Since they have drawn this, they have

actually built a third portion of the property under the power line which gives

them further screening in that area. The problem is they own property on both

sides of Georgia Power which requires a buffer on both sides.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal because they have more than adequately provided for trees as well as

shrubs and they do have the added problem in this particular case they don?t

own the land where the Georgia Power easement is so they don?t really have any

control over how they landscape that particular area. Motion carried

unanimously.



Case No. 04-V85?-Granted.



Robert Teasley, Signs, Inc., presented the appeal of Kendrick High School,

6015 Georgetown Drive, for a variance to increase the size of a sign from 15

square feet to 50 square feet. The property is zoned R-2.



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

Mr. Teasley gave the following information: Kendrick High School will furnish

the footing and he will furnish the sign. The sign will be a changeable copy

sign. Georgetown Elementary is across the road and they also have a changeable

copy sign, which his company, Signs, Inc., did.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

this appeal to increase the sign from 15 square feet to 50 square feet.

Several similar requests for schools have been approved in the past. Motion

carried unanimously.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 07/07/2004

requirements from 30 feet to 15 feet, from 30 feet to 8 feet and from 30 feet

to 25 feet, in order to make an addition, a carport, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen

and storage room. The property is zoned R-1A.



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

Batton and Mr. Chung gave the following information: The house is on a corner

lot. The addition will be on Sections A & B. The carport will be over an

existing slab. The addition will be similar material as the house and it will

be approximately 900 square feet.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

to approve all three setback requirements. This is a corner lot and not a

uniformed lot. The carport will be over an existing slab. Motion carried

unanimously.
