encroachment of the required set-back .
ITEM NO. 1 - CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 18" SET-BACK VARIANCE ON
LOT 5 , RAILROAD INDUSTRIAL PARK - This is an 18"
encroachment of the set-back requirement and as a result a
certificate of occupancy was refused by the Code Enforcement
Officer . Mr . Don Kreymer , property owner and builder has
petitioned this board for a variance . In order to be in
compliance with the ordinance , the builder would have to
remove a portion of the structure . Brian Chaney asked if
this was the garage portion of the building . Answer - yes .
The builder , Mr . Kreymer said the violation occurs on the
corner of the building on the cul-de-sac . The building is
completed and does not encroach on the property adjacent but
only on the required set-back . Mr . Faires noted that only
one corner was in violation and that all inspections had
been green-tagged . The building plans indicated the correct
set-back .
Gus Pappas stated that it is the responsibility of the staff
to enforce the ordinances.. The essence of the Zoning Board
of Adjustments is to view each violation on it ' s own merits .
The staff does not have the authority to grant variances but
must have an official decision by the Zoning Board of
Adjustments .

Irian Chaney asked if letters were sent to adjacent property
owners . Five letters were sent , two returned , both in favor
of granting the request for variance. Anna Starnes asked if
this would be a major project to bring this building into
compliance . Mr . Kreymer answered that it would be because
it is a loadbearing wall .
John Hamilton asked if this builder had any more buildings
to be built in this subdivision . Mr . Kreymer answered no ,
this is the last one and that all other buildings had met
specifications .
After much discussion , John Hamilton made a motion to grant
approval of the variance as requested - 18" set-back . Anna
Starnes seconded the motion . Motion carried 5-0.
Art Harris , Vice-Chairman
