Mrs. Woodard stated that she would like the record to show that
we are starting this meeting at 8:07 due to the fact that Case A:
James Cartee d/b/a Government Builders, Inc., was on the notice
and a lot of people were here interested in this case. City
Attorney Weaver explained to these people why Mr. Cartee does
not need a variance to build on the lots in question.
Mr. Denton made a motion to approve the minutes of the Public
Hearing on April 7th, being seconded by Mr. Fenske. Said motion
CARRIED.
The board continued to Case B: - John Dewar requests a variance
in lot size and side setbacks on Lots 3 and 4 in Edgewater Acres.
Said lots were a part of Lot 7, Edgewater Acres and are located
at the North end of Mary Street. The purpose of this variance
request is to allow a single family home to be constructed on
each lot. This property is zoned R-3.
The board members began discussion with Mr. Dewar in regard to
this.
Mrs. Woodard asked Mr. Dewar if he bought these lots as two
separate lots or did he buy one lot and split them himself?
Mr. Dewar stated that he bought them as two separate lots, and
he pays the taxes on two separate lots.
Mr. Dewar explained that he is only asking for approximately
two thirds of a foot on each side of the house, and he could
cut off this and he would not have to ask for a variance, however
he feels that it will effect the house.
Mrs. Murphy pointed out that there is no opposition present at
the Public Hearing.
The board discussed the criteria that they must go over before
granting a variance.
Mr. Denton stated that this is a non conforming lot of record;
and his only question in his mind was - was it a lot of record,
and apparently they are.
