THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR FRONT AND REAR SETBACKS FOR
LOTS 5A & 5B, BLOCK I AND LOTS 12A & 12B, BLOCK H WYNDHAM
ESTATES: Roy Faires addressed the board, "I must go on
record once again saying, that I am against the granting of
any variance. " Mr . Faires brought up the fact that the
wording in the packet was somewhat wrong . Mr . Cook is
requesting a ten foot building line in the front and a
twenty foot building line in the rear . He is not requesting
a ten foot setback in the front and a twenty foot setback in
the rear as recorded in the packet. Mr . Faires went on to
explain how the wide curvature of the lots cuts down on the
constructable area of the lots. Mr . Faires brought up the
point that he and Mr . Cook have another problem which they
would have to discuss at another time. Mr . Faires stated
that with the configuration of the lots he could see how the
board would feel justified in allowing this variance.
Carolyn Jones stated for the record that one letter had been
sent out concerning this issue and it was in favor of
granting variance.
Mr . Cook of Myran Corporation said when they had come before
P&Z and the Council the project was brought through as a PUD
and at that time they did not have a builder. They now have
a contract with Mr . Ringer of Stellar Homes . Mr . Cook said
Mr . Ringer ' s smallest two house plans are too large to fit
on these lots which is why this variance has been requested .
Mr. Cook noted that Mr . Faires had said if they are granted
this variance the houses should line up as much as possible
with the ones that are already there.
Chairman Art Harris asked what size houses these were to be.
Mr . Ringer of Stellar Homes said their smallest was about
1150 square feet and their largest was about 1750 square
feet. Art Harris asked if two of the homes would be single
stories and two of the homes two stories . Mr . Ringer stated
he believed so . The size of the houses were discussed a
little further by Mr . Ringer and the board .
N.C. Jefferies asked Roy Faires exactly what they were
refering to in conjuction with the plat . Mr . Faires stated
they were only talking about a proposed ten foot front
building line and a twenty foot rear building line around
the cul-de-sac as not to offend the people across the alley.
James Griffin addressed Chairman Art Harris to the fact
that there may be a problem with the people backing out of
their driveways . Mr . Faires said they are not anticipating
any problems with this matter at this time.
Chairman Art Harris asked if there were any more questions
on the public hearing . There were none, therefore Mr .
Harris announced the public hearing closed .

Harris asked to consider approval on variance of the set
back requirements. Mr . Jefferies motioned to grant variance
