CASES TABLED FROM THE NOVEMBER 6TH MEETING.



Case No. 02-V170--Granted.



Doug Jeffcoat, presented the appeal of Developers-Investors, 1664 Whittlesey

Road Lot 600, for a variance to reduce the lot width requirement from 40 feet

to 25 feet at the building line, in order to subdivide a lot. The property is

zoned C-3. Contingent upon Planning approval.



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

Mr. Jeffcoat gave the following information: They have real estate at the

corner of Rollins Way and Whittlesey Road. There was an earlier configuration

that had one large lot of about an acre in a half to the back side of lot 300.

At that time it was configured with entrances that were wide enough and a

variance would not be necessary. They would like to subdivide the lot to give

it frontage. They are not changing the driveway configuration from what was

originally proposed which is a driveway that will come in from Rollins Way that

is a shared driveway and another driveway that will come in off of Whittlesey

Road which is also a shared driveway. They will be re-defining where the

property line is. This will allow them to be good stewards over the traffic

flow in that area, needing only one driveway in each location to serve multiple

users.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 12/04/2002



Planning recommends approval of this request.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal because this is basically a lot width requirement reduction. They will

be using the same driveway curb cuts that are already in use. The detention

pond that is there prevents a much wider road frontage requirement. Planning

does not oppose this request. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the

three Board Members present for this meeting with Leah Braxton abstaining from

the vote.



Case No. 02-V171--Granted.

VARIANCES.



Case No. 02-V176?-Denied.



Gerald Parker, Southern Awning Company, presented the appeal of Angel Santos,

5440 St. Mary?s Road, for a variance to reduce the side yard setback

requirement from 8 feet to 1 foot, in order to make an addition, 7? x 23?, 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.

Parker gave the following information: Mr. Santos would like to add a carport

to the side of his house. There is an existing slab. The carport will match

the existing gable roof and it will have shingles. The materials used for the

carport will match the house. The water will flow to the rear of the house.

This will not be a wide carport. The carport will be 1 foot from the privacy

fence. He already has a garage, but he would like to park his red car under

the carport.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

because Mr. Santos was not at the meeting to state what was his hardship and to

answer additional questions. He already has car storage available. Mr. Santos

could re-apply so that he can be able to explain why he needs this addition.

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

this meeting.





Case No. 02-V177?-Granted.



Claudio Lugo-Brun, 6723 Dorsey Drive, presented his appeal

for a variance to reduce the corner side yard setback requirement

from 25 feet to 6 feet, in order to make an addition, 28? x 29?, 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. Brun

gave the following information: His house is on a dead end street and there

are about 10 or 12 houses on the street. There is an existing parking pad.

The materials used for the carport will match the house.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

because this is a dead end street. The carport will be built over an existing

concrete pad. The addition will be 22 feet from the curb. Motion carried by

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



Case No. 02-V178?-Granted.



James Johnson, presented the appeal of Columbus Housing Initiative, 2810

Baldwin Street, for a variance to reduce the number of off street parking for a

single family residence from the required 2 spaces to 1 space for a single

family residence. The property is zoned R-3.



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

Johnson gave the following information: The reason they would like to reduce

the off street parking from 2 spaces to 1 is because the lot is very small. If

they have 2 parking spaces they will be covering up the front yard. Most of

the houses in that area do not have off street parking. Most of the lots are

25 or 30 feet wide. The reason they are building on a 25 feet lot is because

both houses on each side of this lot is affordable to buy.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.





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

because most of the houses in the neighborhood do not have the curb cut for

parking. This will be an improvement to the neighborhood. Motion carried by

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



Case No. 02-V179--Granted.



Lisa Pound, 2219 14th Street (Lot #2), presented her appeal for a variance to

setback requirement from 30 feet to 29 feet and to reduce the parking spaces

from 2 to 1. The property is zoned R-2. Contingent upon Planning approval.



In her statement and in response to questions from the Board Members, Ms. Pound

gave the following information: A couple of years ago she bought three houses,

they have three different street addresses, but technically they all are on one

lot. She is now ready to sell one of the houses. She is not adding anything

to the lots, just sub-dividing.

There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

contingent upon Planning?s approval, because there are three properties that

are on one lot. There is a necessity in selling one of these. They will

sub-divide these houses on separate lots. Motion carried by the affirmative

vote of the four Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 02-V180?-Granted.

10% to 10.72%, 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.

Crumpton gave the following information: There was an original house on the

lot that was 33 years old. They found out that is was infested with termites,

so they demolished it. They would like to erect a new single family

residence. They would like to increase the square footage of building coverage

from 10% to 10.72%, this is less than a 1% increase on the lot. They have

signatures from neighbors that are not in opposition.

There was no opposition presented to this appeal. There was a letter from

neighbors who are in support of this request.



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

because they demolished an old house that had termites. The new house they

want to put on the lot is bigger than the old house. There was a petition from

adjacent residents who are in support of this request. Motion carried by the

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

When the Chairperson asked for opposition Bill Weary came forward. He wanted

to know what they were building on the property. He was not in opposition

after he was told they were going to build a house on the property.



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

appeal because they will erect a single family residence. After Mr. Weary was

aware of what they were doing, he was not in opposition to this request.

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

Construction Co., LLC, 619 3rd Avenue, for a variance to reduce the side yard

setback requirement from 10 feet to 4 feet, in order to move a single family

residence onto an existing lot. The property is zoned H. Contingent upon BHAR

approval.



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

Calhoun and Ms. Peoples gave the following information: They have a house on

Veterans Parkway. In the future they are suppose to be widening Veterans

Parkway. The house will probably be demolished if not moved to another

location. They have a lot on 3rd Avenue and they would like to move the house

there. There is an existing curb cut on the right side of the lot. The house

is pushed back for the 4 foot setback. There are trees there right now, but in

the future if someone wanted to tear down the trees and have a driveway they

could. There was a house previously on this lot and it was set the same way

with the same blueprint. The only way to save the house would be to move

it.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal contingent upon BHAR?s approval, because this is an empty lot now and

they are going to save a historic home. They would like to move it closer to

the side to use the existing curb cut for a driveway and not park on the

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

present for this meeting.









Case No. 02-V187?-Granted.



William Gullion and Dan Parpkah presented the appeal of Cascade Hospitality

LLP, 1408 Bradley Lake Boulevard, for a variance to reduce the required number

of parking spaces from 180 to 148 and to increase the sign height from 20 feet

to 70 feet and to increase the sign area from 150 square feet to 300 square

feet. The property is zoned A-O.



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

Gullion and Mr. Parpkah gave the following information: The parking is for a

hotel, which is typical for individual business travelers. The property is

going to be located in the Brookstone Center Office Park and will cater heavily

to the business traveler. The parking ratio that the Hilton typically require

is a 1 to 1 ratio, 1 space for every guess room. They have done extensive

studies in house and other similar hotels. The hotels are very rarely 100%

occupied. They would like to have more space because they will have meeting

space about 3,000 square feet. This could generate outside business, but

typically the business generates from meeting space. The same people who are

staying in the hotel are the ones that are occupying the hotel. They are

asking to reduce the parking ratio from 1.5 to 1.25. There was only a limited

location to put up a pylon sign to be able to visually get the people from the

highway to find the property. We are contending with a DOT tree line of very

mature pine trees. The only way to get up above the tree line would be to ask

for a variance. The Hilton is very specific about signage and what they can do

about signs. There are only 3 sign companies in the country that are allowed

to build signs for this property. They set out a book of standards on signage

and with a sign of that size they are requiring to have 299.27 square feet of

sign face.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal because this will be an asset to the community. Motion carried by the

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







Case No. 02-V188?-Granted.



Marty Radke and Randy Moore presented the appeal of Nu-Rock, 2001 Torch Hill

Road, for a variance to increase the size of a sign from 15 square feet to 32

square feet. The property is zoned R-4.



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

Radke and Mr. Moore gave the following information: They are owner and

management company for the property that use to be the old Camellia Club

Apartments. They are doing a major renovation on the property, it has 381

units. The sign is 30 square feet and they need an extra 15 feet. The sign

will be single sided and face Torch Hill Road. The sign is a good 200 feet

from the road. They would like to put the sign by the gated entrance. They

are trying to get visibility from Torch Hill Road.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal because they have done a good job in re-claiming an old apartment area.

This will be the only sign where the entrance is located. Motion carried by

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



Case No. 02-V189?-Granted.



D. Hal Averett, 1414 33rd Street, presented the appeal for a variance to reduce

the side yard setback requirement from 15 feet to 1 foot, in order to make an

addition, 40? x 90?, a storage building, to an office building. The property

is zoned C-2.



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

Averett gave the following information: He would like to add a storage

building to an existing building that adjoins a residential neighborhood. One

neighbor is not protesting she is o.k., but another neighbor is not pleased

about it. The existing building is right on the line, apparently there was a

time when someone could do that. It kinda slipped up, no one really was aware

of that.





When the Chairperson asked for opposition Nick Kokoles, Bernice Kokoles (owner

of the property), Mary Ellen Oakes, Tommy Kokoles and Debbie Kokoles came

forward. Mr. Averett dug a trench about 1 foot and it is caving in her fence.

The fence has been there 40 to 45 years. The fence is 3 inches or more inside

of her property. Ms. Bernice Kokoles would like the dirt that was dug up from

around her post and under her fence to be corrected. Mr. Averett stated that

he would put the dirt back.



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

because. There was opposition from a neighbor who had questions regarding what

was being done, but it seems to be with the adjustment in the building where it

encroaches on the neighbors property. Mr. Averett did state that he would

correct the problem. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board

Members present for this meeting.
