Mrs. Neal stated she had looked at the house and the run-down
carport appears to be sitting right on the property line,
therefore one of her concerns regards easement. Mr. Powell
replied there is no easement. Mrs. Neal ' s other concern is that
since the garage is practically sitting on the property line if
the owner decides to replace the run-down fence it would create a
hardship.
Mrs. Neal said to replace the run-down carport with a new garage
would be an improvement, but there is a considerable amount of
space between the house and the garage. Mr. Powell said the
variance request for the garage up-grading is in order to meet
the city ordinance.
Mr. Gooding made a motion to grant the variance request to
replace a run-down carport with a new garage. Mrs. Neal seconded
the motion. The motion carried with all in favor.
