APPROVAL OF APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE_BEQUEST AT 508 OAN� LOT 26� BLOCK B� RUSTIC OAKS-.III : The left pin was possibly lost - during -construction of house built next door. Mr. Faires states for the record that staff cannot recommend approval of any variance. Cleo Adams ask, what is wrong in - this area, because there were one or two other houses in the area that were granted variances. Mr. Faires said it was the curbatures, and yes this was the second or third variance in this subdivision. We dont always go looking for a pin or measuring for one we sometimes assume they have located them. Cleo Adams wants to know how the City feels about this variance? Mr. Faires felt it was not critical but that we still needed to go through the board process. Mr. Adams says that Lot 1, Block B, and Lot 7, Block B in the same subdivision were given a variance. Mr. Blakey ask if they were both by the same builder? Mr. Faires says no. Cleo Adams makes a motion to approve this variance and Marvin Blakey second it. All were in favor. APPROVAL OF APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE REQUEST AT_1001 N. HWY. 78: Mr. Faires states that they have the required parking in the rear but didn' t want to use it unless they had to. They had no reason to support request in any shape or, form. - Henry Hill states that there is hardly ever more than 2 or 3 _. cars there at any one time you could drive by anytime and see. Why should we pay for more concrete when the cars are so few at any one time, at the most even with the additional parking and business doing good the most cars at one time we would possibly see would be 6. There are no plans for additional buildings in the rear, there is a 15 ft. easement for sewer. Mr. Harris ask if the back is used strictly for deliveries? Mr. Hill said yes, but they do have option to deliver in front. Mr. Harris says that 10 to 20 years down the road if another business was to go in there they would be stuck with inadequate parking. Mr. Hill stated that if sold the parking problem could be relieved through the C. O. being issued to the new owner. Mr. Faires states that they said they could get the 14 parking spaces without bothering the 15 ft. easement for sewer. Mr. Hill said yes we can get these spaces probably with no problem but Hometown Furniture does not want to do this. Mr. Faires states that he cannot see how they can justify their reasons according to our ordinances. Mr. Hill felt we were lenient with the other order of business and were not being with them. Mr. Harris says that the structure was already in place and it' s kind of hard to chop 1 ft. off a home already built. Also for the record 2 letters mailed and letter, returned 1 in favor. Cleo Adams says somewhere down the line someone is going to have to do this it' s either, pay now or pay later. - Mr. Harris says looking ahead for the future this property could be more profitable if you had the parking spaces. The - property in 10 years looks to be possibly commercial and it would need the additional parking spaces. Mr. Blakey wants to know the City' s position? Mr. Faires states that once you grant a variance it goes with the property and doesn' t change if sold or issuance of a C. O. Gary Ludwig makes a motion to deny this variance, Cleo Adams second it. All were in favor. Art Harris ask that we put on the next agenda to elect a new Vice Chairman. Mr. Harris made motion to Adjourn and Cleo Adams second it. All were in favor. ' ' '_
