APPROVAL OF MINUTES
It was moved by Bill Franklin, seconded by Dr. Edwin Bebb and carried
unanimously that the July 15, 1992 Minutes be approved as written.
V-92-03. Variance request to reduce the 30 foot separation requirement
from a single family residential zone to 10.5 feet and the 5
ft. side setback to 6 inches for 1133 & 1135 Ridgeway.
Roger McKinney stated that the applicant is seeking a variance to allow
the church to construct a 4800 s.f. recreation center and a 4416 s.f.
day care facility at 1133 Ridgeway. The proposed development is located
in a Single Family zone and does abut property with a single family
use. That property lies to the north and is split into two zoning
districts: LC and SF-2. They are requesting two variances for this
development:
1. Reduce the additional setback required by (Section 4640) on
the north side of the building from 30 feet to 10.5 feet within a
Single Family zoning district.
2. Reduce the required side setback (Section 3140 (6) from 5 feet
to 6 inches on the south property line adjacent to a drainage canal.

Mr. McKinney pointed out that the side setbacks are required in order
to promote the development of land and prevent overcrowding for health,
public safety and fire code requirements. There is a drainage canal
abutting this property to the south resulting in a man-made buffer
between this and uses on the other side of the canal. It eliminates
the possibility of a future structure being built next to the proposed
building. Therefore requiring a 5-foot setback would not achieve its
intended purpose. The unusual configuration of the zoning boundaries
to the north and the drainage canal on the south of this lot constitute
a hardship.
In addition, the applicant has a Conditional Use request (C 92-45)
before Planning and Zoning Commission to approve this project. The
Staff has recommended approval of the Conditional Use request
contingent upon approval of this variance. We notified 21 property
owners within 200' and have 3 responses all in favor. The public
welfare will not be adversely impacted by the granting of these
requests. It is recommended that these 2 variances be approved.
Mr. McKinney advised that the applicants should have a surveyor
determine the exact location of their property lines. The chain link
fence along the drainage canal was constructed by the City and may not
follow the property line. The applicant should contact the City
Engineering Department before removing this fence.
Bill Franklin made a motion to grant both of the variances, seconded by
Tom Hill. A roll call vote was made with Dr. Edwin Bebb, Rdger Murphy,
Tom Hill and Bill Franklin all in favor.
The meeting adjourned at 1:48 p.m.
