V. REGULAR AGENDA
Case C 11 -20
Request for conditional use approval to construct a duplex in a Single Family -2
zoning district
3017 Cunningham Drive
Mr. Robert Whiteley requested conditional use approval to construct a duplex on a vacant lot
located on Cunningham Drive in Faith Village. The original homes in this subdivision were
constructed in the 1950's. Many of them were rebuilt after the 1979 tornado.
Mr. Odom read a list of the pros and cons for permitting this duplex. Staff did not make a
recommendation for this case but urged the Commission members to consider these points
when making their decision.
Twenty -four (24) surrounding property owners were notified of this request; three (3) responded
in favor; two (2) responded as opposed; and, two (2) responded as undecided or having no
opinion.
Mr. Tom O'Brien stated he and Bobby Whiteley, his business partner, purchased this lot with
the desire to construct a duplex. He stated each unit would be approximately 1,000 square feet
with composite shingles used 'for the roofing material. Chairman Nelson asked if he had
visited with the neighbors or any of the citizens in opposition; Mr. O'Brien responded he had
not.
Mr. Stephenson asked why there was a low expectation of a single family residence being
constructed on this lot. Mr. Odom replied infill housing is most likely to be a duplex. This type
of development is usually considered for its economic value.
Chairman Nelson stated he expected the construction of this duplex to be very nice and will
certainly help the lot and the neighborhood. Mr. Taylor commented he is familiar with the
applicants and their work; whatever they construct would be appealing.
Chairman Nelson stated all comments received from the surrounding neighborhood mailing
were read and taken into consideration by the Commission members before the voting process.
