[1. Call to Order / Roll Call]
[00:00:06]
AUTOMATIC. SO GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I'D LIKE TO WELCOME THE HOMEOWNERS WHO SHOWED UP.
RESIDENTS OF TOWN STAFF, ALL OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS HERE. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY ON A COLD DAY LIKE WE'VE HAD TODAY. WITH THAT, IT'S THIS IS THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF APPEAL MEETING FOR FEBRUARY 19TH, 2025.
AND WITH THAT, I'LL ASK STAFF TO DO THE ROLL CALL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON. CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME PRETTY WELL? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. HOW'S THAT MICHELLE. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT. MR. GEORGE DUPONT HERE. MR. C.J. ALEXANDER HERE. MR. BRAD BLACK HERE. MR. JOE TREMBLAY HERE. MR. BRIAN LINDEN HERE. AND TO MY UNDERSTANDING, WE HAVE KENNETH DUGGER. AND. WAIT. MR. DUGGER IS NOT HERE. WHO? MR. OKIKI? YEAH. OKAY. THOSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD MUST COMPLETE THE PUBLIC COMMENT REQUEST FORM LOCATED ON THE TOWN WEBSITE OR IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS. IF YOU'RE ATTENDING IN PERSON, PLEASE SUBMIT THIS FORM. THE BOARD CHAIR OR STAFF MEMBER PRIOR TO THE MEETING. WHEN CALLED UPON, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU. THANK YO. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS BEFORE WE GET INTO THE ACTUAL MEETING. YEAH. I'M SORRY. OKAY. AND I COMPLAIN BECAUSE I'M HARD OF HEARING AND I CAN'T HEAR PEOPLE IN HERE. I'M DOING THE SAME THING TO YOU. I APOLOGIZE. JUST A COUPLE ITEMS FROM THE LAST MEETING AND ALL WE HAD FROM HERE FORWARD. THE TOWN'S ATTORNEY WILL BE ATTENDING ALL OF OUR MEETINGS, SO IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING, WE CAN ASK THEM AS THE MEETING GOES ALONG. THAT'S WHY HE'S HERE. ALSO, I WAS LOOKING TO HAVE A TRAINING MANUAL PUT TOGETHER AND TERRY WELSH, WHO IS OUR TOWN ATTORNEY SITTING AT THE END. HAS A MANUAL FROM BACK IN 2018. I HAVE SOMETHING FROM 2017, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS 2018. SO WITH THAT, I THINK I CAN SAY THAT MOST PEOPLE HERE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MANUAL. IT WAS ATTACHED TO YOUR PACKET, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT OR NOT. I CAME ON THE BOARD IN OCTOBER OF 2019, 2019, AND HIS PRESENTATION WAS AUGUST. SO EVEN I DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEE IT, BUT FELT ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME THAT TIMES THAT WE MEET, WHICH IS ABOUT ONCE A YEAR, THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE A LITTLE HANDOUT. AND I THOUGHT I HAD IT HERE.
THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE THERE IS HE'S THIS IS WHAT WAS PUT TOGETHER THAT HE'S GOING TO HE'LL SPEAK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT. WE'LL HAVE A TRAINING SESSION ON THIS IN AN UPCOMING MEETING. AND I KNOW HE'LL HAVE AT THE CLOSURE OF OUR VARIANCE REQUEST, HE'LL HAVE SOME THINGS THAT THAT HE WANTS TO ADD AT THAT POINT. SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO DAVID HOOVER, WHO HAS A FEW WORDS TO SAY. THANK YOU MISTER. THANK YOU. THIS ON? CAN YOU HEAR ME? YOU'RE JUST GOING THE OTHER WAY. WE'RE NOT USUALLY THIS DISORGANIZED. I'M SORRY. WE ACTUALLY HAD A LITTLE FUN THIS AFTERNOON. THOUGHT WE HAD A FIRE IN TOWN HALL, AND SO IT, LIKE, 430 RIGHT BEFORE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING READY. THEN WE'RE EVACUATING THE BUILDING. AND
[00:05:01]
THAT WAS WAS NOT IN THE PLANS FOR TODAY. SO I APOLOGIZE. I DON'T HAVE ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE, TECHNICAL PEOPLE. WE'RE HAVING TO PLAY TECHNICAL PEOPLE. ANYWAY, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW ME, MY NAME IS DAVID HOOVER. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. AND ANYTHING TO DO WITH WITH EITHER OF THE HATS YOU WEAR WITH THESE TWO BOARDS GENERALLY COME FROM ONE OF MY DEPARTMENTS, AND SO YOU'LL PROBABLY WON'T SEE A LOT OF ME BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE VERY MANY OF THESE MEETINGS, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING FROM, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE THAT IT GENERALLY MEANS THINGS ARE GOING LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. AND SO IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU, IT'S JUST THAT THINGS ARE GOING WELL. DID THE ROLL CALL. READ THROUGH THAT?[2. Consider and act upon the minutes from the February 20, 2023, Board of Adjustment meeting.]
FIRST ITEM THAT IS ON HERE FOR Y'ALL TO DO IS TO APPROVE THE MINUTES. THAT. NOT SURE HOW MANY OF YOU WERE ACTUALLY AT THAT MEETING. SO IF YOU WERE. ACTUALLY, I DON'T EVEN THINK, MR. WELCH, I THINK THIS IS TRUE. EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T THERE, THEY COULD STILL VOTE ON ON THE MINUTES. SO, YOU KNOW, UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING GLARING THAT THAT YOU DON'T LIKE OR THINK IS WRONG, BUT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO, TO, TO DO FOR THE FIRST ITEM HERE. MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES. MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES. BEFORE WE HAVE A SECOND, I. CAN'T HEAR YOU, SIR. OH. I'M SORRY. JUST WANTED TO ADD A COMMENT ABOUT THE MINUTES. THE MINUTES ARE ACCURATE AS AS PRESENTED, BUT THERE WAS AN ACTION THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THAT. WE GRANTED A VARIANCE DEPENDING UPON THE PROPERTY HOLDER GETTING A LEGAL LETTER SIGNED BY THE HOA AND THE DEVELOPER, BECAUSE THE VARIANCE GAVE HIM THE ABILITY TO BUILD A POOL WITHOUT A MAINTENANCE EASEMENT BETWEEN THE POOL AND THE FENCE LINE, HE PUT IT RIGHT ON THE FENCE LINE, AND THAT COULD PRESENT LEGAL ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD FOR FUTURE HOMEOWNERS.SO WE APPROVED IT WITH THAT STIPULATION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS DONE. I CAN'T FIND OUT IF IT IF IT WAS FOLLOWED UP ON IF WE EVER GOT A COPY OF IT. SO YES, YOU KNOW, I'LL LET SOMEBODY ELSE DO THE SECOND THE MINUTES, BUT THERE'S AN ACTION THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN ON THAT. THANK YOU.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND ON APPROVING THE MINUTES? I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU. SO IT'S MOVED BY CJ AND SECONDED BY MR. LINDEN. ALL IN FAVOR? RAISE YOUR HAND. AYE. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO MOVED. WITH
[3. Consider and act upon a request for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance to allow for a reduction to the Minimum Lot Area, Lot Width, and Front Yard Setback requirements in the Single Family-15 District on Bryant's First Addition, Block 14, Lots 11-12, on 0.3± acre, located on the north side of Second Street and 270± feet east of Coleman Street. (VAR-25-0001) (Part 1 of 2)]
THAT ACTION TWO, NUMBER THREE IS AN ACTUAL VARIANCE REQUEST. AND I'LL LET STAFF ANNOUNCE THAT.OKAY. BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND BREAK. TO GO OR NOT BREAK, BUT ADJOURN TO GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR ABOUT FIVE, MAYBE TEN MINUTES FOR THE TOWN ATTORNEY TO GIVE YOU JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK ITEMS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO FOR GOING FORWARD. AS AS MR. DUPONT SAID, WE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO HAVE A TRAINING SESSION FOR TONIGHT AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, DIDN'T WORK QUITE THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK. AND SO WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER MEETING SHORTLY THAT WILL HAVE THE TRAINING FOR BOTH OF THE HATS THAT YOU WEAR, BECAUSE THE TWO FUNCTIONS ARE ACTUALLY QUITE DIFFERENT BETWEEN A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTIVITY THAT YOU TAKE VERSUS THE CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF APPEALS, WHICH WHICH ACTION THAT YOU WOULD TAKE THERE. SOME OF YOU KNOW THAT AND SOME OF YOU DON'T. AND JUST DEPENDING. AND SO WE'LL WE'LL HAVE THAT SESSION BEFORE TOO MUCH LONGER. BUT AS FAR AS TONIGHT'S ACTION, IF YOU ALL WOULD JUST MAKE A MOTION TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE'LL GET THAT DONE. CAN I MAKE ONE QUICK SUGGESTION? YES, SIR. SURE, PLEASE. AGENDA ITEM THREE FOR THE RECORD FIRST REACHED.
JUST READ THAT ITEM FOR THE RECORD AND THEN ANNOUNCE WE'RE GOING TO CLOSED SESSION AT THE TIME. THAT'S JUST WHAT'S REQUIRED IN THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT. OKAY. SURE. YOU WANT TO READ IT? YOU WANT ME TO READ IT? EITHER WAY. OKAY. ITEM NUMBER THREE IS CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A REQUEST FOR VARIANCE TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW FOR A REDUCTION TO THE MINIMUM LOT AREA, LOT WIDTH, AND FRONT YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENTS IN THE SINGLE FAMILY 15 DISTRICT ON
[00:10:08]
BRYANT'S FIRST EDITION BLOCK. 14 LOTS 11 AND 12 ON 0.3 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SECOND STREET AND 270FT EAST OF COLEMAN STREET. AND WE'LL IT'S NOT REALLY ADJOURN. TIME IS[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
610. OR RECESS. THE TIME. THAT'S RIGHT. AT 610. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MICHELLE, IF WE COULD KNOW. FOR THE RECORD, WE'RE RETURNING BACK INTO OPEN SESSION AT 6:23 P.M.[3. Consider and act upon a request for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance to allow for a reduction to the Minimum Lot Area, Lot Width, and Front Yard Setback requirements in the Single Family-15 District on Bryant's First Addition, Block 14, Lots 11-12, on 0.3± acre, located on the north side of Second Street and 270± feet east of Coleman Street. (VAR-25-0001) (Part 2 of 2)]
SORRY. DID THEY DO THEIR THING? I'M SORRY. WE'RE GOOD. ARE YOU GOOD? OKAY, GOOD. ALL RIGHT.THIS IS GENERAL AERIAL LOCATION MAP OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR TONIGHT'S REQUEST. THIS IS JUST A DIFFERENT VERSION. STILL SHOWS YOU WHERE IT IS. THIS IS ONE OF THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE. THESE ARE OLD WHAT ARE CALLED PLATS OF RECORD. AND THEY'RE NOT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE PLATS THAT WE HAVE IN IN TODAY'S WORLD. THESE WERE DONE BY METES AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTIONS, AND THEY WERE DRAWN UP BY A SURVEYOR AS OPPOSED TO MORE TYPICALLY ENGINEERS. NOW THAT THAT DO THE PLATS. YOU CAN SEE THE RED LINE HIGHLIGHTS THIS. MOSTLY LOT 12 BUT A LITTLE PIECE OF LOT 11.
AND THEN A LITTLE PIECE OF WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY LAID OUT AS A STREET WHICH IS NOT THERE. IT'S A RIGHT OF WAY THAT WAS ULTIMATELY ABANDONED AND THAT CREATED THIS, WHICH, AGAIN, WAS A SURVEY THAT SHOWS THE LOT AND IT HAS THE LOT 12 AND IT HAS THE A LITTLE FOOTAGE FROM A LOT OF 11, AND THEN IT HAS HALF OF WHAT WAS THE STREET. SO THOSE THREE PIECES TOGETHER ARE WHAT CREATED THIS INDIVIDUAL LOT THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE INSERT THAT'S OUTLINED IN THE GREEN, WHICH IS WHAT CREATED THE LOT THAT THAT THESE FOLKS BOUGHT. AND SO THE ZONING THAT'S ON THESE PROPERTIES, THE SF 15 WAS PUT IN PLACE LONG AFTER THESE WERE ALL ORIGINALLY LAID OUT BY THESE METES AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTIONS AND THE SURVEYS. WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ZONING HERE UNTIL PROBABLY 30, 40 YEARS, MAYBE MORE AFTER THESE WERE ORIGINALLY LAID OUT. DIDN'T EVEN REALLY HAVE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS TO SPEAK OF BACK THEN WHEN THIS WAS FIRST LAID OUT. AND THAT'S HOW SOME OF THESE MOST OF THESE ARE NON-CONFORMING IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER WITH THE SINGLE FAMILY.
15 REQUIREMENTS. THESE ARE THE TWO SPLITS, IF YOU WILL. AGAIN IT'S THE IT'S A IT'S A BIGGER VERSION OF THE LOT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE REQUIREMENTS ON THE LEFT SIDE FOR THE LOT SIZE. IT SHOWS YOU THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE 15,000FT■!S, WITH 100 FOOT OF WIDTHS AND 135FT OF DEPTH. THIS LOT, WHICH IS REALLY ALL IT CAN BE, BECAUSE THERE'S NO MORE LAND ON EITHER SIDE AND THERE'S NO MORE LAND IN THE FRONT AND BACK. SO IT'S NOT LIKE THEY COULD REPLAT AND HAVE A LITTLE MORE FOOTAGE. THEY CAN'T GET IT FROM ANY PLACE ELSE. AND SO IT IS WHAT IT IS. AND SO THE AREA ITSELF IS THE 12,563FT■!S. THE WIDTH IS 90.05 AND THE DEPTH IS 139 .23. WHAT THAT MEANS, AS FAR AS WHAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN, IS THEY DON'T MEET THE MINIMUM SIZE, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE 15,000FT, AND THEY DON'T MEET THE WIDTH. THEY HAVE 90FT, NOT 100FT, BUT THEY DO MEET THE DEPTH. THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SETBACKS FRONT YARD, SIDE YARD. REAR YARD. THE SIDE AND THE REAR ARE ARE THE SAME FROM WHAT THE REQUIREMENT IS AND WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED. THE FRONT. THEY'RE REQUESTING A FIVE YARD REDUCTION TO THE SETBACK. SO INSTEAD OF IT BEING 35FT, THEY'D LIKE IT TO BE 30FT. THESE ARE SOME CRITERIA THAT YOU
[00:15:10]
HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE MAKING A DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR NOT A VARIANCE SHOULD BE GRANTED. ONE IS AND BASICALLY FINDING A HARDSHIP. I THINK THAT WAS MENTIONED TO Y'ALL, BUT THE FIRST ONE IS THAT THE VARIANCE DOESN'T VIOLATE OR ALTER WHAT THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCES ARE MEANT TO BE. THE SECOND IS THAT THE AREA, OR ANY SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF THE AREA SHAPE, TOPOGRAPHY, PHYSICAL FEATURES. THAT ARE PECULIAR TO THE PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PARCELS IN THE SAME DISTRICT, AND THAT'S LEGAL EASE OF BASICALLY SAYING THERE ISN'T ANYTHING ANY DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS LOT FROM ANOTHER LOT UNDER THE SAME ZONING CATEGORIES. IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT'S DIFFERENT, THAT IS NOT REALLY CONTROLLABLE. IT'S NOT JUST ALL FLATLAND, THEN THAT'S A REASON TO CONSIDER A VARIANCE. THE THIRD IS THAT THE HARDSHIP ISN'T SELF-IMPOSED. BASICALLY, INDIVIDUAL DIDN'T DO IT TO THEMSELVES. AND THEN THE FOURTH ONE IS THAT ANY INTERPRETATION OF THE PROVISIONS IN THE ORDINANCE DON'T VIOLATE SOMEBODY'S RIGHTS FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. THINK OF A MILLION THINGS THAT COME TO MIND, BUT IT'S PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY. SO AS A PART OF THAT PROCESS, WE GOT BACK TO, OKAY, HERE'S WE'VE GOT THIS LOT. IT WAS THE ZONING ON. IT WAS SUCH WHEN IT WAS ZONED, IT WAS NON-CONFORMING BECAUSE THE LOT DIDN'T GET ANY SMALLER. IT'S THE SIZE THAT IT WAS BACK WHEN THE ZONING CAME IN. SO THAT PIECE OF THE PUZZLE OBVIOUSLY ISN'T SELF-IMPOSED. IT WAS WHAT IT IS WHEN THEY BOUGHT IT. THE WIDTH.Y THERE. THERE'S PROPERTY ON BOTH SIDES. BELONG TO OTHER PEOPLE. THE OTHER TWO PROPERTIES, JUST FOR WHATEVER THAT'S WORTH, ARE ALSO NON-CONFORMING. AND THEY COULDN'T, EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO, THEY COULDN'T TAKE TEN FEET FROM EITHER SIDE OF THEM TO, TO MAKE THEIR LOT BIG ENOUGH, BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE THE OTHER TWO LOTS ON OTHER SIDE EVEN MORE NON-CONFORMING. AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT. WE WOULDN'T APPROVE IT. WE WOULDN'T ALLOW IT TO GO THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS. SO THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS THE APPLICANT'S FAULT. THE THIRD ISSUE IS AS FAR AS THE SETBACK IS CONCERNED, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS COULD BE MANAGED, SO TO SPEAK. AS FAR AS THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCE AT HAND IS THE MAJORITY OF THE OTHER HOUSES. ALL OF THE OTHER HOUSES ARE ALL THE OTHER LOTS THAT ARE IN THIS AREA. ALL HAVE THAT SAME REQUIREMENT OF 35FT. THERE MAY BE SOME THAT ARE A LITTLE MORE OR A LITTLE LESS OVER TIME, MAYBE SOME THAT WERE ALREADY BUILT THAT WERE MADE NONCONFORMING AT THE TIME THE ZONING CAME IN. BUT THERE AREN'T ANY THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT NEW THAT THAT VIOLATE THAT. AND THE MAJORITY. WHEN YOU LOOK AND GO BACK HERE. NOT REALLY A GOOD PICTURE THAT CAN'T BLOW UP. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM, OF THE HOUSES YOU SEE IN EACH OF THE DIFFERENT, WHETHER IT'S BROADWAY, FIRST, SECOND, WHAT HAVE YOU. MAJORITY OF THE HOUSES ARE GENERALLY IN A LINE AS YOU'RE GOING DOWN THE STREET. SO THE STREETSCAPE ON BOTH SIDES IS RELATIVELY THE SAME. AND TO HAVE ONE OR MORE THAN ONE STICK OUT FARTHER THAN THE HOUSES THAT ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET, IT ALTERS THE CHARACTER SOMEWHAT OF THAT VISION OF THE STREETSCAPE AS YOU'RE GOING DOWN. AND THAT IS ONE OF. EXCUSE ME. WHERE'D IT GO? GOING BACKWARDS. TOO FAR, TOO FAST. SO ONE OF THE CRITERIA ABOUT. CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES. BUT IT'S NOT IN THERE AS FAR AS THOSE. BUT IT IT DOESN'T. THE VARIANCE THAT'S BEING REQUESTED WOULDN'T HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON ADJACENT OR SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. AND THAT'S WHAT WE CONSIDER AS FAR AS THAT THIRD REQUEST IS CONCERNED. AND SO THAT MEANS IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO[00:20:01]
IS STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE FOR THE LOT SIZE AND APPROVAL FOR THE LOT WIDTH. BUT WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE SETBACK ADJUSTMENT FOR THE FRONT SETBACK. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. THE APPLICANTS ARE OBVIOUSLY HERE. I'D LIKE TO. THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING THEY'D LIKE TO SAY OR YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS OF THEM. IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO THAT. CAN YOU GO BACK? SURE. 1 OR 2 PAGES ON HERE WHERE YOU HAD TELL ME WHERE TO STOP. YES. 15 REQUIREMENTS, YOU KNOW, AND WHAT THIS WAS BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME THERE WERE SOME OTHER THINGS ON THERE. OKAY. YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW, THE 15 AND 12, 12, SIX AND THE 100 FOOT FOOT WIDTH AND THE 90 AND A LOT DEPTH. 135 IS ACTUALLY 140. BUT OVER HERE WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT PROPOSED YARD SIZES, THAT PART OF WHAT WE NEED TO GIVE A VARIANCE ON TONIGHT. THE REASON THOSE ARE THERE. FRONT SIDE FRONT SETBACK. TOTAL WIDTH TOTAL AREA. AND. THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE. YES, SIR. ALL WE'RE IT'S THE THREE ITEMS. IT'S WHEN YOU GO TO APPROVE BUILDINGS AT ALL. CORRECT? CORRECT. IT IS THE THREE THINGS. AND AS FAR AS THE ONES ON, ON THE RIGHT, IT'S ONLY SHOWN THERE BECAUSE THE REQUIREMENT IS 35 AND THE REQUEST IS FOR 30. AND SO THAT THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE AND THAT'S ONE OF THEM. AND THEN THE OTHER TWO ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PAGE WHICH IS THE WIDTH AND THE AREA. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE ALL THREE THERE. I SEE HOW YOU DID IT. THE THREE ON THE LEFT AND THE FRONT. SETBACK. YOU CAN'T ANSWER SOME SOME OF THE OTHER ONES UNTIL HE GETS THE VARIANCE HE NEEDS AND THEN SUBMITS HOUSE PLANS. SO CORRECT. AT THIS POINT WE DON'T NEED TO ADDRESS THE MINIMUM SIZE SIDE YARD MINIMUM.WE DON'T NEED TO ADDRESS THAT. WE'RE JUST CORRECT WITH THAT TOTAL AREA AND FRONT SETBACK.
YES, SIR. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME? DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING. OH. RESPECTED SIR. CAN YOU COME UP HERE AND JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS? MY NAME IS AKIL AHMED. AND I LIVE WITH MY WIFE AND MY SON. IN FRISCO. SO WE HAVE A 14 YEAR OLD SON WHO HAS CEREBRAL PALSY, WHO IS IN A WHEELCHAIR BOUND. SO WE WANT TO BUILD THIS HOUSE SO THAT IT HAS WIDER DOORS, 48 INCH DOORS AND WIDER DOORS, WIDER BATHROOMS, LARGER BATHROOMS AND AN ELEVATOR SO THAT HE COULD HE COULD ACCESS EVERY PART OF THE HOME. RIGHT NOW, HE CAN'T ACCESS SOME PORTIONS OF OUR CURRENT HOME. SO OUR GOAL IS TO, YOU KNOW, BUILD A FUNCTIONAL HOME FOR OUR FAMILY. SO THAT IT'S EASIER TO TAKE CARE OF HIM LIKE BATHING, CHANGING AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES. AND WE I MEAN, LIKE, WE WANT TO HAVE MAJORITY OF THE PORTION OF THE HOUSE ON THE, ON THE, ON THE GROUND FLOOR, WHICH IS THE, THE WHOLE OF THE GROUND FLOOR. AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS LOT, WE, WE HAD A LOT THAT WAS EXACTLY PRETTY MUCH SIMILAR SIZE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE HOME.
AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT ON THE EAST THIRD STREET, THERE WERE A LOT, LOT OF THE HOMES WERE LIKE AROUND 7500FT■!S, WHICH HAD LIKE EVEN SMALLER SETBACKS THAN 30FT THAT THAT WE WERE REQUESTING HERE. SO GIVING THIS VARIANCE TO LOT AREA AND LOT WIDTH AND SETBACK WOULD ALLOW US TO BUILD A FUNCTIONAL HOME FOR MY SON. SO THAT WE COULD MAKE PROSPER TOWN OUR HOME FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. SO WE ALSO INTEND TO RETIRE HERE. LIVE HERE. AND WE PLAN TO BUILD A VERY FUNCTIONAL HOME. IT'S LIKELY GOING TO BE THE LARGEST HOME IN THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AND IT'S GOING TO BUILD, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO ALLOW FOR THE PROSPER TOWNS, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT PATH OF THIS OLD TOWN COMMUNITY. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER. YES, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. AND FIRST OFF, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU SENT OUT. I APPRECIATE YOUR WRITE UP, AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN BUILD A HOME FOR YOUR SON. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN LIVE IN. BUT MY QUESTION REGARDS THE 30 FOOT SETBACK VERSUS THE 35 FOOT SETBACK AS I UNDERSTAND
[00:25:05]
IT. THE REASON TO APPROVE A VARIANCE IS BUT YOU DON'T WANT IT TO VIOLATE THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE, BUT YOU HAVE TO VIOLATE IT TO BUILD THE HOUSE. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO VIOLATE IT TO HAVE A 35 FOOT SETBACK, BECAUSE YOU HAVE 139FT ALTOGETHER. SO WHAT WOULD BE THE PURPOSE OF BRINGING THE SETBACK IN FIVE FEET? THE CURRENT PLAN LEAVES ABOUT 17FT AT THE BACK, SO WE'D HAVE TO REDUCE THE FRONT AREA AND MOVE POTENTIALLY SOME PORTION OF THE HOUSE ON THE TOP OF THE PLAN, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LEAVE MUCH SPACE FOR US TO BUILD, LIKE A SWIMMING POOL FOR MY SON OR LIKE A SPECIAL NEEDS PLAY AREA. SO I MEAN, LIKE HE HAS MOBILITY ISSUES. WE RARELY GO OUT OF THE HOME, SO WE SPEND LARGE AMOUNTS OF OUR LIFE WITHIN THE HOME. OTHER THAN GOING TO DOCTOR'S OFFICES OR LIKE HOSPITAL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO MAJORITY OF OUR TIME IS SPENT WITHIN THE HOME. SO AT LEAST HE WOULD HAVE SOME AMOUNT OF YARD WHERE WE COULD PUT LIKE A SWING.SPECIAL NEEDS SWING. AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT, THERE'S NO PROPER SPECIAL NEEDS SWINGS. AND WE COULD BUILD A PARTICULAR SPECIAL NEED SO THAT WE COULD USE A LIFT TO ACTUALLY LIFT MY SON AND PUT HIM IN THE SPECIAL NEEDS PLAY AREA AND SO THAT HE CAN SWING. AND HE COULD ALSO BE WITHIN A SWIMMING POOL. SO THAT, THAT SO THAT WAS THE INTENTION OF TRYING TO REQUEST THAT FIVE FOOT SETBACK. OKAY. BUT YOU COULD DESIGN THE HOUSE IN SUCH A WAY TO STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE POOL IN THE BACK AND THE SWING WITH A 35 FOOT SETBACK. IT WOULD JUST BE MAYBE A LESS DEEP HOUSE.
IS THAT CORRECT? YES. I MEAN, BECAUSE IF IT WAS A 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT, IT WOULDN'T I MEAN, LIKE, IT WOULDN'T THIS WOULDN'T BE A QUESTION. BUT SINCE IT'S ALREADY LIKE A 2400, 2500 SQUARE FOOT LESS THAN WHAT THE LOT WOULD ALLOW, SO A FIVE FOOT WOULD BE A BIG RELIEF.
THANK YOU. PLUS, PLUS, IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOUSES ON THE EAST THIRD STREET, A LOT OF THEM ARE ON LIKE 7500 SQUARE FOOT. THEY CONFORM TO, YOU KNOW, MUCH LESSER SETBACK ON THE EAST THIRD STREET. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION. ARE THERE ANY PLANS OF THE HOUSE THAT THAT THE STAFF HAS SEEN, OR. I'M JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE STRUCTURE IS THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO ENCROACH ON IN THAT FIVE FOOT SETBACK? TWO. YEAH. MY CONCERN.
AS YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. SO IT'S FIVE FEET. I CAN TELL YOU, I'M AN ENGINEER. IS IT JUST LIKE THE, LIKE THE FRONT PORCH AREA, OR IS IT THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE STRUCTURE THAT'S GOING TO. SO WE GOT SEVEN TEN FOOT OF SETBACK ON EACH SIDE. SO IT'S FIVE TIMES 70, WHICH IS FIVE, SEVEN, 35, 350 SQUARE FOOT. BECAUSE MOST OF IT WE HAVE IT LAID OUT IN LINEAR GARAGES. WE'RE JUST GOING TO READ OUT THE PLAN BASED ON BUILDING PERMITS AND OTHER STUFF. SO. SO ARE YOU SAYING THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE STRUCTURE WOULD BE WOULD ENCROACH INTO THAT SETBACK? YEP. OKAY.
ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU. YOU'RE. ONE. TWO. THREE. THANK YOU. YEAH. AND AT THE BACK, YOU WOULD GET 27 FOOT. YEAH. SO. OTHERWISE, WE WOULD HAVE TO REDUCE THE. VARIANCE.
[00:30:04]
TO. JUST WAITING FOR. YEP. WE. IF YOU DON'T GRANT ME, THEN WE'D HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND SEE WHAT, WHAT'S FEASIBLE AND WHAT'S NOT FEASIBLE OR OR OR REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE HOME. BECAUSE THIS HOME IS DESIGNED COMPLETELY FOR MY ADAM. BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT IT, WHEN IT GETS UP IN THE MORNING, IT TAKES US A COUPLE OF HOURS TO GET EVERYTHING READY. WE. YEAH, SHE ALREADY SHOWED IT. SO WE TAKE HIM TO THE BATHROOM. WE LIFT HIM FROM THE BED, WE TAKE HIM TO THE BATHROOM. WE, YOU KNOW, GIVE HIM A BATH, THEN PUT HIM ON A, LIKE A BENCH TO. I MEAN, LIKE, IT'S A CHANGING STATION, BASICALLY TO CHANGE THE DIAPER, TO CLEAN HIM, THEN USE THE LIFT TO PUT HIM ON A WHEELCHAIR, PUT THE SHOES HE'S GOT BRACES ON THE. AND FOR HIS THERAPIES. RIGHT. THERE'S AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST THAT COMES EVERY DAY. THERE'S A PHYSICAL THERAPIST THAT COMES TWICE A WEEK. THERE'S A SPEECH THERAPIST. THERAPIST THAT COMES IN IN THE EVENINGS TO DO IT TO DO SPEECH THERAPY FOR HIM. SO WE'VE GOT ROOMS FOR OUR THERAPY ROOMS FOR HIS PLAY AREA AND ALL OF THAT WITHIN THE HOME. HE'S GOT A SEPARATE BEDROOM WHERE WE AND WE HAVE OUR BEDROOM. SO AND WE PLAN TO HAVE AN IN-HOUSE CAREGIVER FOR MY SON, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S TAKING TWO PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY LIFT HIM OR MANAGE HIM, BECAUSE ONE PERSON CAN'T LIFT HIM BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE. SO. SO IF I'M NOT THERE IN THE HOME, THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD HE COULD BE MOVED FROM THE WHEELCHAIR TO A DIFFERENT TO A BED OR TO THE BATHROOM OR ANYWHERE ELSE. SO THE PLAN IS TO ALSO HAVE LIKE A ANOTHER BEDROOM ON THE GROUND FLOOR FOR, FOR A NANNY OR A SPECIAL CAREGIVER TO ACTUALLY HELP TAKE CARE OF HIM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? COULD WE GO BACK? COULD WE GO BACK TO A QUESTION FOR DAVID? SURE. THANK YOU.THANK YOU, EVERYONE, FOR CONSIDERING OUR REQUEST. I TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, SIR. SO DO WE WANT TO GET YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE PROPOSED SETBACK OF 30 VERSUS THE 15 FAMILY, SINGLE FAMILY, 35 FOOT SETBACK. OUR OPINION IS BASED ON. I'LL CALL IT STATISTICS AND REGULATIONS.
BASICALLY, IT'S TRY NOT TO GET PERSONAL FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU THE FACTS, Y'ALL. SOME OF YOU MAY BE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER DRAGNET.
JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM. AND THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE IN THIS EQUATION. AND TWO OF THESE THINGS ARE BASICALLY NO BRAINERS. I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT FIXABLE. THEY'RE NOT ANYBODY'S FAULT. THE THIRD ONE WITH THE SETBACK. IT IS A STRETCH AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A HARDSHIP IN THEIR PARTICULAR CASE. THERE'S NO DOUBT WHAT THEY'RE WANTING TO DO IS A GOOD THING.
BUT FOR US TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THAT CHANGE OR THAT VARIANCE, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THE STRAIGHT BLACK AND WHITE TO LEAN ON. IT GETS INTO DO WE THINK IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO? I WILL TELL YOU, IS THE WORLD GOING TO COME TO AN END IF IT'S APPROVED? NO, THERE'S I ALREADY MENTIONED THERE ARE OTHER PLACES, OTHER LOCATIONS WHERE THOSE SETBACKS MOVE A LITTLE BIT. IF ONE IS DIFFERENT, IS IT ONE MORE IS DIFFERENT OR ONE LESS? IS ANYBODY GOING TO NOTICE? PROBABLY NOT. BUT AGAIN, FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, I CALL IT THE LETTER OF THE LAW.
I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT YOU KNOW, THE LETTER OF THE REGULATIONS, LET'S SAY, WOULD TYPICALLY SAY IT'S NOT A TRUE HARDSHIP BECAUSE IT'S SELF-IMPOSED, BECAUSE THEY'RE BUILDING THE HOUSE AND THE HOUSE ISN'T THERE YET. IF THE HOUSE WAS ALREADY THERE, WE'D BE HAVING A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. BUT IT'S NOT THERE YET. AND NOW AGAIN, YOU KNOW WHETHER OR NOT IT COULD OR SHOULD BE APPROVED. THE TOUGH JOB YOU ALL HAVE IS TO MAKE THAT DECISION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT
[00:35:09]
ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION OR NO. IT DOES, AND THANK YOU. THAT WAS MY CONCERN AS WELL, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S A NECESSARY PER THE FOUR REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU HAD ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. AND SO IT FALLS INTO A LITTLE MORE OF A SUBJECTIVE AREA. AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT OPENING THE DOOR TO A SUBJECTIVE DECISION VERSUS A TECHNICAL, OBJECTIVE DECISION.REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH WE FEEL FOR YOUR SON AND WHAT YOU WANT TO DO FOR HIM. OKAY, EACH EACH ONE MORE THING. IF I COULD ADD TO THAT ONE QUICK QUESTION OR COMMENT FOR DAVID. JUST SO CLEAR TO THE SF 15 REGULATION SECTION. OKAY. THE SF 15. REQUIREMENT IS FOR 135 FOOT DEEP LOT. THIS WAS ALMOST 140. SO IT'S FIVE FEET DEEPER THAN WHAT THE REGULATIONS ARE. AND HE'S ASKING FOR ANOTHER FIVE FEET. SO HE'S ASKING FOR TEN ADDITIONAL FEET IN THE BACKYARD. WHEN IF EVER, YOU KNOW, SF 15 REQUIRES, YOU KNOW, 130FT, 135FT, THAT'S 140. SO I'M CORRECT IN THOSE NUMBERS.
CORRECT. NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. I'M SORRY. I'D SAY SF 15 HAS A REQUIREMENT OF 135 FOOT DEEP LOT. MINIMUM MINIMUM, MINIMUM MINIMUM. IT COULD BE 180 OR 100 A MINIMUM, RIGHT? I WAS JUST SAYING THAT'S THE MINIMUM THAT YOU GOT. AND THIS LOT IS ACTUALLY ALMOST 140. SO IT HAS FIVE ADDITIONAL FEET IN THE BACKYARD COMPARED TO WHAT THE MINIMUM IS. AND HE'S ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL FIVE TO THAT BY TAKING IT OUT THE FRONT YARD. CORRECT. YEAH. AND THE HOUSE AND IT MAY CHANGE IS GOING TO BE A 5200 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE THAT IT IF YOU GRANT THE REQUEST HE HAS, IT'S GOING TO BE 30FT BACK FROM THE STREET. YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE THING, IN MY OPINION, WITH SOME OF THE HOMES, THE OLDER HOMES IN DOWNTOWN THAT ARE A THOUSAND 1214 HUNDRED AND 1500 SQUARE FEET, THEY'D BE, YOU KNOW, THEY'D BE OKAY WITH A 30 FOOT SETBACK. THIS IS GOING TO BE A NOT ONLY WILL YOU SEE IT WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN THE STREET THAT THE HOUSE IS CLOSER, BUT IT'S A REALLY BIG HOUSE, TOO. SO, YOU KNOW, I. THE OTHER OTHER ONES I THINK QUALIFY FOR CONSIDERING FOR A VARIANCE MY OWN OPINION. I, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU GO BY THE REGULATIONS HERE, BUT THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. AND I MAY BE THINKING ABOUT THIS COMPLETELY FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, BUT THE STREET THAT'S IN THERE NOW. LIKE, IS THERE ANYTHING MASTER PLANNED OUT TO WIDEN THAT STREET TO GO CURB AND GUTTER SIDEWALKS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT? NO, SIR. OKAY, I WON'T SAY IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN, BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON OUR, YOU KNOW, EVEN OUR OUR WHAT I WOULD CALL LONG RANGE CIP CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN TO DO THAT FIRST STREET. BUT BUT NOT BUT NOT SECOND STREET. OKAY. THIS ONE IS FOR MR. AHMED. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR COMING. I'M A THERAPIST, SO I KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH WITH HAVING A SPECIAL NEEDS AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SOMETHING FUNCTIONAL IN THE HOME. BUT I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE FRONT YARD. AND IF THIS WASN'T GRANTED, YOU SAID YOU'RE ABLE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. ARE YOU ABLE TO DESIGN A DIFFERENT HOME THAT WOULD HAVE THE SAME THINGS THAT YOU WANT? WITHOUT HAVING THIS EXTRA FIVE FEET, BECAUSE THE HOUSE IS 5200 SQUARE FOOT? WHAT IF WE BUILD SOMETHING A LITTLE SMALLER, GET A LITTLE DIFFERENT DESIGN? THAT WOULD STILL PROVIDE YOU WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR SON. HONESTLY, WE WILL TRY. WE WILL TRY OUR BEST TO WORK WITH THE ARCHITECT TO SEE IF WE COULD GET THE SIMILAR RESULT WITH, BECAUSE WE PRETTY MUCH THE PLAN THAT WE HAVE IS, IS LIKE ONE DRAFT AWAY FROM SUBMITTING IT TO THE BUILDING PERMITS.
