house. It will be approximately 2500 feet from the road.

property is zoned R-2.

3

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/01/2003





the required 30 feet. They would like to accommodate their client. Woodruff

owns the property behind her, so that will not be a problem.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

appeal because this is an odd shape lot in a cul-de-sac and the house had to be

pushed back because of the easement on both sides. Motion carried by the

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



Case No. 03-V119?-Denied.



There was no one present to present the appeal of Steve Carver, 905 Moore Road,

for a variance to reduce the lot area from 40,000 square feet to 18,995.2 and

property is zoned A-1. Planning recommends denial.



Aronda Smith, representing the Planning Division, stated that Planning

recommends denial of this request.



When the Chairman asked for opposition, James Edmonds, Ed Runci and Mr. & Mrs.

Julio Llands came forward. They stated the lot will be too small to build a

house on, a person can not build on less than an acre lot in this subdivision

and because of the lake above the property it will be a mess when the house is

built.

After the Board heard from the opposition and later during the meeting, Mr.

Steve Carver came into the meeting and stated that he would like to withdraw

his appeal.



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

because this lot is not the same size as the other lots, the lot does not meet

the minimum lot size requirement and there was opposition to this appeal.

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

this meeting.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/01/2003

requirement from 8 feet to 2 feet, in order to make an addition, 12? x 24?, 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. Short gave the following information: He is taking the existing awning,

putting a top on it and bringing out the front porch. The same materials will

be used to match the house. There will not be a water problem because it will

have gutters.



There was no opposition presented to this

appeal.

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

appeal because the carport will be over an existing slab and the same materials

to 23 feet. The property is zoned R-2.



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

Erickson gave the following information: His employee made a mistake. The

house sits on a hill and the wrong measurements were taken. They measured a

straight line distance from down low and when you do the triangle it doesn?t

measure the same way. They are over 1 foot to the front and 1 foot and a few

inches to the side in one corner. The house is already 99% built.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.





5

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/01/2003

Joe Alexander presented the appeal of Lisa McNary and T. J. Green, 525-D Double

Churches Road, from a Decision of the Building Official that an accessory

structure may only be located in the rear yard. The property is zoned A-1.



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

Mr. Alexander gave the following information: This is a subdivision that they

have developed. This is a 5 acre lot and the way the house sits, it needs to

have the garage in the front yard. The garage can not go in the back yard

because it goes up significantly high and the garage needs excess to the

circular driveway in order to make use of it. The garage will not be seen from

the street.



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 way the house is on the lot and the circular

driveway, the garage fits better in the front yard. The garage will not be

seen from the street. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board

Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 03-V123--Granted.



Joe Sandoval, 10543 County Line Road, presented his appeal from a Decision of

the Building Official that an accessory structure may only be located in the

rear yard. The property is zoned A-1.



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

Mr. Sandoval gave the following information: The way the land is laid out it

is going to be difficult to put a garage in the back yard. The accessory

structure will be approximately 1200 feet from the street.







6

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/01/2003





There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

this appeal because of the topography of the land and the accessory structure

will not be seen from the street. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of

the four Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 03-V124?-Granted.



Donald Bowles, 5234 Thomason Avenue, presented his appeal for a

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

to erect a single family residence. The property is zoned R-1A. Planning

recommends denial.



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

Bowles gave the following information: He is requesting a variance for a 25

foot access to a flag lot, primarily based on economic reasons. The lot will

be 50% larger than the required minimum in the neighborhood. There are 2 or 3

other flag lots in the area.



Aronda Smith, Planning Division, stated they recommend denial of this request

because flag lots should be discouraged, flag lots are undesirable because they

hinder emergency access and a hardship was not shown.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

because Mr. Bowles has improved the driveway distance of the lot width

requirement from 20 feet up to 25 feet. He plans to have a proper driveway.

This would be an improvement to the area. There are other flag lots in the

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

for this meeting.



Case No. 03-V125?-Granted.



Larry Phillips presented the appeal of Davis Realty, 7263 North Lake Drive, for

a variance to reduce the rear yard setback requirement from 40 feet to 35 feet,

in order to erect a commercial building. The property is zoned A-O.







7

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 10/01/2003





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

Phillips gave the following information: They would like to build a commercial

building. Three buildings are already complete and two are under construction

in this park. The configuration of the parking lot in the front, the way the

building sets back from the street, the way it is landscaped and the exact

design of the building is the same as the other buildings in the park.

Everything has to match 100 percent. The building is as far back as it can go,

it almost touches the drain easement.



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 parking lot requirement is the reason why they had to push

the building back so far. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four

Board Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 03-V126?-Granted.



John Raymer, 4526 Labrador Drive, presented his appeal for a variance to reduce

the corner side yard setback requirement from 25 feet to 12 feet, in order to

erect a workshop/storage building, 12? x 16?. The property is zoned R-2.



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

Raymer gave the following information: He changed the request from last month,

he previously asked for 6 feet and now is asking for 12 feet from the setback

line. The reason he has a hardship is because the lot is narrow in the back

than in the front. He does not have enough room to work with back there

because of the topography. He can?t put the accessory structure on the

opposite side of his yard because he would have to cut down a lot of trees.

The accessory structure will have hardi plank siding and the shingles will

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 Mr. Raymer has made changes from his previous request last

month. The topography dictates the best place for the accessory structure, he

would have to remove several

present for this meeting.
