BUSINESS ITEMS
1. V-90-06. Variance request from Section 2030 of the Zoning
Ordinance to allow an accessory building in excess of
50% of the principal structure at 5221 Lake Shore Drive
This request was presented to the Board by Kristy Malone, the appli-
cant's daughter. She advised that the proposed construction is for
storage of a motor home, boat, and two vehicles. When her father
retires, he plans to construct a larger home, and then the accessory
building will not be more than half the size of the house.
Mr. McKinney advised there has been no response received from the
notification process. After discussion it was moved by Tom Hill,
seconded by Burrell Lacey, and carried unanimously that the request
be approved by vote of Hill, Kidd, Perkins, Lacey and Barnett.
2. V-90-07. Variance request from Section 2030 of the Zoning
Ordinance to allow an accessory building in excess of
50% of the principal structure at 3222 Southwest Drive
This request was presented by Tony Gilleland, applicant. Mr. Gille-
land stated the planned garage is needed to store his tractor, riding

lawn mower, 3 cars, and lawn and garden tools. He understands the
building could not be used for commercial purposes, and has no desire
to do so. The building will be a nice -looking construction of
concrete masonry, and there is plenty of room on the lot to accommo-
date a second building (approx. 32 acres).
Mr. McKinney provided the notification response of two property
owners who opposed the request because they thought the building
would be for commercial purposes. Mr. Gilleland has been advised
that this would be in violation of the ordinance.
After discussion it was moved by Tom Hill, seconded by Bill Kidd, and
carried unanimously that the request be approved by vote of Hill,
Kidd, Perkins, Lacey and Barnett.
3. A-90-02. Administrative Appeal on the definition of "Outdoor
Storage" in Ordinance 45-88 as it applies to 4400
Cunningham Drive
This request was presented by Charlie Chastain, attorney for the
applicant, James Roy. Mr. Chastain described the condition of the
vehicles cited by the Code Enforcement department, and referred to
the definition of outdoor storage in the ordinance:
Outdoor Storage - Any material, vehicle, or equipment that has
been used, discarded, damaged, or partially dismantled and is
stored or held outside as inventory for future sale, processing
or use. such articles shall include, but not be limited to:
Automobiles or automobile parts, appliances, boxes, crates, pipe
or pipe fittings, paper, metal, tires, furniture, fixtures,
machinery, motors, lumber, buildings or portions of buildings,
building materials, barrels, or clothing. (Section 19 114-1)
Mr. Chastain claimed this definition would not apply to Mr. Roy's
vehicles, as they are not discarded, damaged, or being held for
future sale. Also, they have not been permanently dismantled, but
will be reassembled when Mr. Roy has finished their repair.
Jim King, Code Enforcement Supervisor, advised that Code Enforcement
had investigated 4400 Cunningham in July due to a complaint, and had
cited Mr. Roy for the two vehicles in the front yard which were
partially dismantled, and without current tags or inspection
stickers. Mr. Lacey asked how Code Enforcement determines if
vehicles are being stored or only parked. Mr. King stated one way to
decide is if they are drivable, and to his knowledge these cars have
not been moved since the original time of inspection. Board members
were provided pictures showing the state of the automobiles.
After further discussion, Tom Hill stated he had site checked this
property, and it appeared that the vehicles have been there a long
time, and are running down the neighborhood. He moved that the Board
decide in favor of the staff and deny the appeal. The motion was
seconded by Dana Barnett and carried unanimously by vote of Hill,
Kidd, Perkins, Lacey and Barnett.
