6

Board of Zoning Appeals ? 06/04/2003

R-2. Contingent upon Planning approval.



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

Mr. Moon gave the following information: The owner had the property rezoned to

R-2. They wanted 4 lots, but Planning recommended 3 lots. One lot is

extremely big, it was a nice piece of property before Georgia Power condemned

part of it. There will be two houses on the front and one in the back.



When the Chairperson asked for opposition, Ms. Sandy Kawosky came forward. She

stated the street was not big enough to park two cars. She also wanted to look

at the plans to find out the size of the lots.



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

because planning did approve this request. Because of the Georgia Power

easement the lot is an odd shape and in order to make this lot a logical use

this reduction is required. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four

Board Members present for this meeting.

an attic for storage.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.
