Board of Zoning Appeals ? 07/02/2003





There was a lawyer, Thomas Flournoy, who was standing with the people in

opposition who stated he was there just as an observer. They stated the house

is too big for the lot, noise problems, lack of privacy, it will de-value their

property, it doesn?t fit the neighborhood, the house they showed on photos of

how the house will look doesn?t fit the character of the neighborhood, the

houses will be jammed up, the lots in the area are deep and they have a lot of

room, this will be the only area where there are 3 lots and it is designed for

2 lots and this is an established neighborhood. There was a petition with

signatures on it of neighbors who oppose this request.



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

appeal until the August meeting to give the people that were present and the

other neighbors that were not present an opportunity to find out what Mr. Peak

is going to do. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board

Members present for this meeting.

Board of Zoning Appeals ? 07/02/2003





Case No. 03-V79--Granted.

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

yard and may not exceed 14 feet in height, 15 feet shown. The property is

zoned A-1.



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

Mr. Money gave the following information: He has a 5 acre lot. He would like

to build a barn and exceed the height requirement from 14 to 15 feet, because

of the roof pitch they may have to raise it 1 foot.



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 large rural lot, even though the Building Official was

correct, the topography dictates where the accessory structure will be

located. There was no impact that was shown that will be on the neighbors.

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

this meeting.



Case No. 03-V80?-Granted.



Silvia Crawford and Donnie Paulk presented the appeal of Woodruff

Contracting Company, 1344 Smith Road, from a Decision of the Building Official

Crawford and Mr. Paulk gave the following information: Because of the rough

terrain and the septic system he doesn?t have any other place to put the

accessory structure. The accessory structure will be for car storage.



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, because of the topography, sewer

and drainage it prevents the accessory structure from going in the rear of the

reduce the required number of parking spaces from 173 to 155. The property is

zoned C-3.



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

McKenna gave the following information: This is an existing shopping center.

It was grand-fathered in when the zoning ordinance was passed. They are asking

to have the existing number of parking spaces validated in the event that the

Winn Dixie is destroyed and they could re-build it. There are 155 parking

spaces and they can?t validate that there was a variance that made the

reduction from 173 to 155.



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 an existing structure that already has a preexisting number of
