The applicant is requesting a variance to Section 5.5.A limiting
Temporary Uses to no more than 90 days in a one year period. The
request is to add two temporary buildings, measuring 1,890 and 4,128
square feet, for a period of four years.
Due to the damage sustained in the April 2016 hail storm, the portable
buildings will allow additional office space while the Public Safety
Building is evaluated for either repair or replacement by a new building.
As this is a building funded with public money, this will be an involved,
carefully thought out process, hence the request for a four-year
variance.
Thirteen comment forms were mailed with one comment form returned
in favor of the request and no comment forms in opposition.
Public Comments
Chair Jourdan opened the Public Hearing.
Brandon Blythe, Assistant Fire Chief, stated that a needs assessment
is being performed by an architectural firm, which will determine the
best solution for space for personnel with the ability to expand and
grow either by remodeling the current building or constructing a new
building. The intent was not to come back and extend the variance, if a
determination is made before the four years. The current building does 7
not offer the ability to expand.
A temporary building with a lease for twenty-four months to house the
Emergency Communications personnel is in place. The other building
will be delivered later.
The temporary buildings will be located behind a secure fence, and not
visible from the public street.
Chair Jourdan closed the Public Hearing.
Board Action
A motion was made by Board Member Finnell, and seconded by Board
Member Gonzalez, to Grant the request as submitted. The property
located at 2000 State Highway 78 North. Motion passed 5 — 0.
