VARIANCES.



Case No. 04-V53--Granted.



Robert Teasley, Signs, Inc., and Dicky Edge, of Muldoons, 6483 Veterans

Parkway, presented the appeal from a Decision of the Building Official that an

additional sign is not allowed. The property is zoned C-3.



In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. Teasley and Mr. Edge gave the following information: This is a

shopping center on the corner of Veterans Parkway and Whittlesey Road. There

is an existing sign, which is on the front corner, but hidden by a package

store. The portable sign will be removed once the new sign is put up. Mr.

Edge is approximately 35 feet short of having 300 feet frontage on the road

that would allow him to have a second sign had they not sold the





3

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 05/05/2004





out parcels. The sign will be 19 feet tall, if they counted the whole frontage

of the shopping center, they would have been allowed up to 300 square feet on

both signs.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

this appeal with the stipulation that the portable sign will be removed. The

property would have been large enough for another sign if they had not sold the

out parcel. It would be a hardship on the business if they were not allowed to

have an additional sign because they sit back far from the road and it would be

hard to see. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board Members

present for this meeting.



Case No. 04-V54?-Granted.



Robert Teasley, Signs Inc., and Howard Tibbet and Rob Doll of Rob Doll Nissan,

1600 Box Road, presented the appeal for a variance to increase the height of a

2nd sign from 35 feet to 63 feet 3 inches. The property is zoned C-3.



In their statements and in response to questions from the Board

Members, Mr. Teasley, Mr. Tibbet and Mr. Doll gave the following information:

The sign will be 63 feet 9 inches and not 63 feet 3 inches. This is a multiple

franchise car lot. The view headed south is pretty clear, but they are trying

to get the north side read, the height is needed because of the tree line. The

top sign is existing and the proposed sign is a much nicer up to date sign.

They are taking down a sign and putting up a new sign.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

this appeal because in the super imposed signs that Mr. Teasley showed the

Board the sign will not be seen traveling North on I-185 if it was at 35 feet,

otherwise they would have to remove some trees. Motion carried by the

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







4

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 05/05/2004





Case No. 04-V55?-Granted.



Charles Stevenson, 1229 Cedar Avenue, presented the appeal for a variance to

reduce the side yard setback requirement from 10 feet to 7 feet 8 inches, in

order to make an addition, 13? 7? x 24? 2??, a bathroom and closet, to a single

family residence. The property is zoned R-4.



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

Stevenson gave the following information: The request should be 7 feet 6

inches instead of 7 feet 8 inches. He would like to extend the house so the

roof can line up with the overhang. The same materials will be used to match

the house.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

to change the reduction to 7 feet 6 inches because this will continue the

existing house on the back and they are using similar materials. Motion

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

meeting. (Contingent upon BHAR approval)



Case No. 04-V56?-Granted.



Gene Mathews, 2508 Techwood Drive, presented the appeal from a Decision of the

Building Official that an accessory structure is not allowed in the side yard.

The property is zoned R-1A.



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

Mr. Mathews gave the following information: He would like to build a carport

with a storage room behind the driveway. The carport will go over an existing

slab. There is a brick wall and he would like to get as close to it as

possible. He will have gutters installed to divert the water from the

neighbors. The side yard requirement will be reduced from 5 feet to 1 foot and

the distance between structures will be reduced from 6 feet to 5 feet.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

because the carport will be built over an existing slab, although the Building

Official is correct that an accessory structure is not allowed in the side

yard. Gutters will





5

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 05/05/2004





be added to the side of the carport. The side yard requirement will be reduced

from 5 feet to 1 foot and the distance between structures will be reduced from

6 feet to 5 feet. Motion carried by the affirmative vote of the four Board

Members present for this meeting.



Case No. 04-V57?-Granted.



Tom Cantrell, Builder, presented the appeal of James Dorchak, 8916 River Road,

from a Decision of the Building Official that an accessory structure is not

allowed in the side yard and to increase the height of an accessory structure

from 14 feet to 21 feet. The property is zoned A-1.



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

Cantrell gave the following information: Mr. Dorchak would like to put a

detached garage in the side and vary the height on it. These lots are really

not lots, they are called parcels. This particular building site is

approximately 7 acres. The building will not be within 150 feet of any of the

property lines. These lots don?t fit the front, side and rear yard because the

street is in a widening manner that some face the street and some face the side

of the lots, what we call a front yard becomes a rear yard. Every completed

home in the subdivision has an out building of some type, either in the front,

side or rear yard depending on how they oriented the original home. The house

is 300 feet from the street. The majority of the houses are not seen from the

street because it is extremely wooded.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

this appeal, although the Building Official is correct that an accessory

structure is not allowed in the side yard, it will be 300 feet from the road

and will not be visible from the private drive and to allow the height to be

increased from 14 feet to 21 feet. This is not uncommon in this neighborhood,

side yards could be considered the rear yard. Motion carried by the

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







6

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ? 05/05/2004





Case No. 04-V58?-Granted.



Dave Erickson, Pinnacle Homes, Inc., 8091 Creekland Drive, presented the appeal

for a variance to reduce the front yard setback requirement from 25 feet to 19

feet 6 inches, in order 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.

Erickson gave the following information: He would like a request to move the

house forward at the end of Creekland Drive. This is a tight lot, there is a

creek immediately in the rear and a sewer easement. He is trying to use a

floor plan in the subdivision that is consistent with the rest of the houses he

is doing in Big Creek. Alternatively, he could make it work with the existing

lot, but he would have to go to a stacked two story house and he has no two

story houses in the neighborhood, so he would prefer not to do that. He feels

the best thing to do is move the house forward which would balance the front

yard with the back yard and keep them away from the creek.



There was no opposition presented to this appeal.



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

to move the house forward to the road and get it away from the creek and keep

the design contiguous with the rest of the neighborhood. Motion carried by the

affirmative vote of the three Board Members present with David Fox abstaining

from the vote.
