Mr. Fischer's note, to the Planning and Zoning Board, directed attention to a platted fifty foot wide road that exists to the south and, at this time, the legal status is unknown. Mr. Fischer's note also stated that "if" this road is a legal street, a side setback needs to be twenty-five feet. Mr. Fischer's note also informed the Board that he had to issue a stop work order on this project over a year ago, because no permit was issued and the structure is partially complete. Mr. Geil stated that the survey shows the road as an easement and that it has not been recorded as a street nor does it have a name. Mr. Mackie questioned if it was an easement or right-of-way to another property. Mr. Geil answered that it was. Vice Chairman Wheeler stated that the Board would need an attorney's oplnlon as to the legal status of the easement, before the Board could make a determination. The Board had a discussion about the Code Book requiring a twenty-five foot setback if the easement was a right-of-way; otherwise, as it appears now on the site plan, it would only require a ten foot setback. Mr. Yelvington stated that the lot is zoned for open storage and that was what he bought the property for. Mr. Yelvington said he just put a small roof over a boat and wanted the roof larger and was told that he would need water retention, etc.; so, he quit building and let it sit. Mr. Loeffler advised Mr. Yelvington that if the attorney's oplnlon was not favorable to his cause, since the building was already there, that he could go to the Board of Adjustment. A discussion ensued about the legal status of the easement affecting the setback footage requirement. The Board agreed that this was the only problem with this site plan. Mr. Mackie made a motion to table until the Board received a legal description of the easement or street related to this property. Mr. Loeffler seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.

Mr. Geil remarked that after drawing the building, they double checked the position of some oak trees in order to same them, and decided to move the building another twenty-five feet to the west and have a double row of parking. The Board had an extensive discussion about shortening the building by twenty-five feet and moving the building back, in order to provide more parking that is required for an industrial building.
