Bebb Roger McKinney, Director of Planning * City Staff Paul Stillson, Planner II Donna Duncan, Recording Secretary ABSENT Scott Cannady * Chairman David Farabee * Councilor CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 1:35 p.m. by Roger McKinney who presided over the meeting in the absence of Chairman Scott Cannady. Mr. McKinney reminded the Commission that with only four members present it will take an affirmative vote of all members to grant the request. If there is one dissenting vote the request would be denied but could be resubmitted at a later date. APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was moved by Bill Franklin, seconded by Roger Murphy and carried unanimously that the August 19, 1992 Minutes be approved as written. V-92-04. Variance request to allow a 16 X 22 foot addition to an existing garage with a setback of 9 feet. Mr. Stillson stated that this is an application for a variance to construct a 16 X 22 foot addition to an existing garage at the rear of 3301 Cumberland. That addition will be 4 feet from the exterior side property line. The existing garage was built 9 feet from the side property line in 1959, before zoning was adopted. The Staff recommended approval of this request due to the: 1. Irregular shape of the lot. 2. Its location near the rear of the lot where a privacy fence could be constructed. 3. Only about 7% of the building will be in front of the existing building line, not enough to affect the character of the neighborhood. Roger Murphy inquired why he wanted a third garage when he had two existing garages, and Mr. Seydell related some instances of vandalism. Item No. M� 1 Page No. �_ Tom Dill made a motion to grant the variance, seconded by Dr. Edwin Bebb, and carried unanimously by a vote of Dr. Edwin Bebb, Bill Franklin, Tom Hill and Roger Murphy in favor of the motion and none opposed. v-92-05. variance request to a 5 foot reduction in the building setback requirement in order to construct a building 20 feet from the property line along Wolfe Street. Mr. Stillson stated that this is a request for a 5 foot reduction in the building setback line along Wolfe Street from 25 feet to 20 feet. The property is addressed as 4313 and 4315 Kemp. The intent of the 25 foot setback was to provide an adequate setback if development occurred facing Wolfe Street. The Staff recommended approval of this request because: 1. It would be less than the existing setbacks already approved. Fifteen foot setbacks were approved at 4305 and 4300 Wolfe. 2. The rear of the lot will be fenced and will not be used for access. Staff also recommended that the property owner attempts to save all of the trees in the rear of the lot for buffering. Other landscaping shall be provided to meet city landscaping requirements.
