October 4, 1983
7:00 P.M.
The Zoning Board of Adjustments met in the Council Chambers on Tuesday,
October 4, 1983 at 7:00 P.M. A quorum was present and notice of the meeting
had been posted in the manner and time required by law. Those in attendance
were Chairman Richard Hampton, Nancy Conkle, Anna Starnes, William LeCocq,
Kent Crane, John Hamilton, City Secretary Carolyn Jones, and Cathy Lyerly.
Larry Prater was not present.
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss if variance is necessary for Mrs.
Lyerly in order for her to operate a business from her home. Mrs. Lyerly
said all businesses would be conducted over the phone and she would be the
only person involved at her home. If the business grows to where she has to
hire some one to answer the phone, than she will move the business from her
home to an office.
Chairman Hampton read-from the Zoning Ordinance the definition of Home Oceu-
pation. Which reads as follows "An occupation customarily carried on in
the home by a member of the occupant's tamily, being incidental to the primary
occupancy of the home as a dwelling, without the offering, display or advert-
ising of any commodity or service for sale on the premises, without the employment
of any persons other than a member of the immediate family, without the use
of any sign, lighting or display, without the use of other than normal domestic
or household equipment or appliances, and the conduct of which does not gener-
ate noise, odor, fumes, vibration or any other condition visible, obnoxious or
detrimental to abutting or adjacent properties.
Zoning Board was in agreement that Mrs. Lyerly did not need the variance as
long as she complies with the above.
The board would like for Mr. Santry to meet with them in November to help the
board clarify their duties.
Chairman Hampton adjourned the meeting.
