CASES TABLED FROM THE APRIL 2nd MEETING.



Case No. 03-V50--Granted.



Wade Branch, 5425 Cranston Drive, presented his appeal for a variance to reduce

the side yard setback requirement from 8 feet to 5 feet, in order to make an

addition, 8? x 12?, a carport, to a single family residence. The property is

zoned R-2.



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

Branch gave the following information: He would like to build a carport over

an existing concrete slab. The materials used will match the house. The water

will flow to the front and rear.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal because the addition will be over an existing slab and the same

materials will be used to match the house. Motion carried by the affirmative

vote of the four Board Members present for this meeting.



Board of Zoning Appeals ? 05/07/2003





Case No. 03-V53--Denied.



Duk Soon Duncan, 5736 Veterans Parkway and Phil Batastini presented the appeal

for a variance to reduce the required number of off-street parking spaces from

80 to 65, in order to make an addition to an existing restaurant. The property

is zoned C-2.



The following comments were made:



Mrs. Braxton: This is a carry over from last month and I think where we left

it we had two people in opposition that were your adjacent neighbors last

time. We asked you to get with them and get with the neighbor, Southtrust,

across the street from you. Give us some feedback on whether you had written

permission or anything, what they felt about this case and if you could work

something out with your neighbors. We did receive a letter from the Jordan

Company who is in opposition to this request. They say the shortage of parking

for the Sport Page was already causing overflow parking onto the contiguous

space at Landmark Associates before Sport?s Page enclosed additional interior

space for customers. They have received calls from tenants at Landmark

Associates complaining of vehicles in the parking lot at night. Several

tenants have made complaints to the Police Department regarding the parking,

loud noises, beer bottles and Sports Page patrons in the Landmark Associates

parking lot.

Ms. Duncan: The last time I was at the Board Meeting Mr. Jack Key of Kennon,

Parker, Duncan and Key Realtors was in opposition because he didn?t know what

it was. Mr. Duncan and I discussed the matter and he is not in opposition

now. I do not have a problem with Landmark, I would like to talk with them. I

do not have a problem with loud noise at the Sports Page. When I first opened

up the business, someone did call the Police because it was the grand opening

and that was when it was noisy. It was approximately 10:00 p.m. and most of

the places are closed.

Mr. Batastini: Originally when the C.P.A. firm opened up behind the Sports

Page there was not a fence up, Sports Page put up a fence to keep people from

parking over there and walking through the hedges. The only time I was told by

them that they had a little aggravation with the Sports Page is during tax

season when they work late at night, other than that they do not have a

problem. I talked to another tenant that rents from the Jordan Company and he

said after 5:00 p.m. the parking lot is empty and as long as it was kept clean,

he didn?t have a problem with it. He couldn?t give permission because he is a

tenant.

Board of Zoning Appeals ? 05/07/2003





The whole part on getting a written statement from any owner is they sign

themselves up for liability if something should happen and they do not want to

be held liable.

Billy Edwards: The little wing off the building that used to be the drive-in

teller originally, didn?t you have parking there.

Ms. Duncan: No.

Mr. Fox: I thought when you got your original permit in your previous request

to have a variance for the parking that you discovered by re-submitting?when

you were doing the renovations for your permit the site plan submitted had

shown, that is part of what the issue here is.

Ms. Duncan: In the front area that had 3 extra parking spaces, there wasn?t

parking in the drive thru.

Mrs. Braxton: I did speak with Jack Key and he stated that Ms. Duncan did talk

to him and she asked him not to politic against her. He just wants Ms. Duncan

to abide by the law and the law is you must have so many parking spaces. They

asked Danny Cargill, Inspections and Codes, to pull what happened when you got

your license originally and all of the Board Members received copies. In the

letter that came to you, it said that David Cummons brought a revised parking

plan the day before the meeting and Inspections and Codes did not have an

opportunity to adequately review the parking plan before the meeting. It

appeared it would provide at least the minimum parking spaces required. Mr.

Phillips who used to be the Chairperson for the Board of Zoning Appeals wanted

to go on record as saying if the revised site plan did not provide the minimum

parking spaces for that use the Board would not approve a parking variance.

There were many people who opposed this appeal. We also received the minutes

of that meeting that mention Larry Phillips was speaking for himself and on

behalf of the Board expressed that they would not approve a parking variance

even if it was short just one space. Mr. James Billingsley seconded that

motion. That is two previous members of this committee. This is what was told

to you back in September 1, 1999, when I believe originally you were thinking

of filling this in. The opposition got to be so great that you revised the

site plan to settle on that. I see this as being a pretty concrete thing that

was put into place of putting you on notice, there was enough opposition around

here, it was short parking. There was not any inclination to allow this to be

an addition. Over time you did a little at the time and a little at the time

and it ended up being finished in. I don?t know how

Board of Zoning Appeals ? 05/07/2003





you did that, obviously without a permit. I don?t know why the City didn?t

catch it, somehow they caught it now. I think this is fairly good evidence of

the fact that this was discussed prior to you opening the Sports Page and it

was the City and the Board?s point that there would be no variances for parking

given. Mr. Batastini: I don?t think it should have been discussed during the

zoning appeals meeting because it was handled Tuesday at the Council Meeting,

they met all of the requirements.

Danny Cargill: Because a variance was filed with this Board, they had to act

upon that application.

Mr. Batastini: Even though it was qualified.

Mr. Cargill: Yes sir.

Mr. Fox: What are you talking about the Council?

Mr. Batastini: On Tuesday (1999) they met the requirements prior to the

meeting on Wednesday. David Cummons didn?t come down here on one side or the

other, he didn?t have a need to be here. I think if he would have known Mr.

Phillips was going to make comments like that at that particular time someone

would have been there on Sports Page behalf. After thirteen years of dealing

with people, I try to keep my comments to myself, I don?t make it public. If I

don?t like it, I would just vote no.

Ms. Duncan: I had a talk with Jack Key at the time and he didn?t want me to be

there in the very beginning. I think if no one was going to buy the CB&T

building he was going to buy it and when I bought the building it hurt his

feelings.

Ms. Braxton: Do you acknowledge that you get a tremendous amount of overflow

in your peak times that go into his parking lot.

Ms. Duncan: No. Right before the business was opened I talked to Kelsey

Kennon and he said not to worry about it, after 9:00 we all are going to leave

anyway and you can use my parking lot. So I did. Then cars were being towed

away, he told me Jack Key is a junior partner and he doesn?t like it so why

don?t you start parking across the street because that is my building and I am

planning on selling it. I told him O.K. and I have been doing that. I talked

to Mr. Key two weeks ago and he said he is not trying to hurt the business and

he is not going to protest it.

Mr. Cargill: In 1999 Ms. Duncan filed a variance to reduce the parking spaces

from 62 to 48 because they were going to enclose the area. Someone re-drew a

site plan and said because of the size of the building they have 62 parking

spaces and this was done on Tuesday the day before the Board of Zoning Appeals

meeting on Wednesday. That is why it shows parking underneath.







4

Board of Zoning Appeals ? 05/07/2003





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

application because the original building was built to support only 62 parking

spaces, the addition was made without proper permitting from the City which was

obviously an oversight on the owners part, however the parking lot is too small

to support the number of square feet in the building and the occupants there,

there was opposition and a hardship was not shown. Ms. Duncan has other

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

present for this meeting.



Case No. 03-HO72--Denied.



There was no one present to present the application of Tara Whitaker, 953

Rosewood Drive, for a Certificate of Occupancy for a Home Occupation for an

office only for selling gift/novelty items and jewelry (will be sold at flea

markets), Tara Whitaker. The property is zoned R-1A.



There was no opposition to this application.



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

application because there was no one present for two consecutive meetings.

Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board Members present for

this meeting.



END OF CASES TABLED FROM THE APRIL 2nd MEETING.



VARIANCES.



Case No. 03-V56--Granted.



Ted Freeman presented the appeal of Harco Properties, LLC, 6168 Warner Road,

for a variance to reduce the lot width requirement from 75 feet to 25 feet, in

order to replat a lot, to erect a single family residence. The property is

zoned R-1A.



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

Freeman gave the following information: This is a flag lot that has 25 feet of

frontage. They would like to divide the lot in order to build a house that

would be approximately 80 feet from the road. The width is wide enough for the

house. There is an existing house on the lot and they would like to put a

fence around it.





5

Board of Zoning Appeals ? 05/07/2003





There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Planning recommends approval of this request.



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

this appeal because this is an odd shaped lot and there was no opposition to

this appeal. Planning recommends approval of this request. Motion carried by

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



Case No. 03-V57--Granted.



Gifford C. Anthony, 6079 Pierce Chapel Road and Joe Alexander, presented the

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

barn) is not allowed in the front yard and may not exceed 14 feet in height, 20

feet shown. The property is zoned A-1.



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

Anthony and Mr. Alexander gave the following information: Mr. Anthony would

like to build a horse barn in the front yard because this is the logical place

to put the barn and because of the topography. In the back yard there is a

steep drop off and a lake. One of the neighbors has a barn in the back of

their house and does not oppose this request. The barn will be shared with the

next door neighbor, who is a family member.

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 was correct, because this is a large

tract of land and this barn will also provide utility to an adjacent property.

The barn will exceed the 14 feet height requirement. This is the most logical

place for the barn because of the topography. Motion carried by the

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

Board of Zoning Appeals ? 05/07/2003





Case No. 03-V58--Granted.



Curtis Weeks, Weeks Construction Company, presented the appeal of Diane Webb,

requirement from 8 feet to 6 feet, in order to make an addition, a carport, 14?

x 22?, to a single family residence. The property is zoned R-2.



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

Mr. Weeks gave the following information: Ms. Webb would like to add a carport

to her home. The carport will have a gable roof and the water will go to the

front and rear. There is an existing slab.



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 carport will be over an existing concrete pad and the water

will not go to the neighbor?s home. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of

the four Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 03-V59?-Granted.



Rob Elliot, Phillips Construction, presented the appeal of

Dr. Jack Sherrer, 7301 Northlake Drive, for a variance to reduce

the rear yard setback requirement from 40 feet to 28 feet, in

order to erect a doctor?s office, 73? x 93?. The property is

zoned A-O.



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

Elliot gave the following information: Phillips Construction has constructed

three buildings in the Woodruff development office complex and have under

contract one more building. The plans and site lay out have been approved by

the Woodruff Development Company. They have descending topography where the

land falls where there is a natural lake. They have continued the water

drainage the same way. The drainage would be provided on the lot behind this

lot by an engineer to carry the water around the building and go to the lake.

They are charged with the responsibility of making sure this complex is

compatible

Board of Zoning Appeals ? 05/07/2003





with the other buildings. The building and the parking couldn?t be moved

forward because at the entrance there is a sign and magnolia tree. If the

building was moved up, the grade would have been increased

tremendously.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

because of the topography and the aesthetics of the entire complex. Motion

carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board Members present for this

meeting.



Case No. 03-V60?-Granted.



James McVay, Leary & Brown, Inc., 8540 Midland Road, presented the appeal from

a Decision of the Building Official that an accessory structure (garage/office)

may not exceed 14 feet in height, 17 feet shown. The property is zoned A-1.



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

gave the following information: They have a contract with a gentlemen to erect

a single family residence and an accessory structure on a 3 acre lot. The

house will be approximately 40 feet from the nearest property line. They have

maintained a natural buffer on the property line. The requirements for an

accessory structure require the same roof pitch as the house which is 8 on 12

and due to the configuration of the building the height of the roof exceeded

what the ordinance allowed which is 17 feet. The color scheme, materials and

shingles will match the house.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

to exceed the 14 feet height requirement to 17 feet. The accessory structure

will be compatible with the house. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of

the four Board Members present for this meeting.

property is zoned CRD. Contingent upon Planning approval.



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

Serrato and Ms. Sullis gave the following information: This appears to be a

single building that someone put a wall in the center and split it into two

halves. Mr. Serrato and Ms. Sullis are partners and they would like to put a

Mexican restaurant in the building. They need to combine the two sides to get

the footage they need to make this an effective space.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



Planning recommends approval of this request.



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

to combine two existing lots. These are existing non-conforming lots and this

is a logical use of the building, typical of the area. Planning did recommend

approval of this request. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four

Board Members present for this meeting.
