Property line extends 138.16 feet on horth and 104.7 on south. Variance to rear property setback granted by Zoning Adjustment Board (permit 4454) 21 April 1978.

The motion was seconded by Storts and unanimously approved. Agenda Item No. 2 --Briefing by the City Attorney: Lewis discussed the functions of a Board of Adjustment, the scope of authority of the Board, the nature of the proceedings, the light in which courts might view their actions under appeal and the degree of discretion allowed Boards of Adjustment in various matters . Agenda Item No . 3 --Consideration of a r equest for variance from Abe Cyrus at 1303 Augustine : Koehler explained that the applicant had requested separate consideration of the patio cover and the residential structure as both had been found to be too near the rear line. He pointed ou:t that the house had been built in 1973, that Mr. Cyrus had bought from t he first o~mer, al"ld that inspection practices at the time of construction were not such as to detect such problems. He said that the patio cover had been built by the present otm.er and that no permit had been obtained. Mr. Abe Cyrus said that he was not aware of the problem with the principal structure and that it would not be possible to remedy it without demolition and total re-construction to a different plan. He said that he was unaware of the need for permit for the patio cover and lmaware that there was any difference in regulation of a slab at grade and superstructure. Cpt. Joe McNabb said that he recognized the hardship involved in correcting the principal structure and would not advocate its removal •. He said that the patio cover ·was built in Ju..YJ.e of 1977. He questioned its quality and compliance with restrictions and said that its proximity to his property was an illfringement upon his property and objectionable to him. l1r. David Morris said that the cover did not appear to him to be objectionable and that he had no doubt as to its safety. Koehler said that, with one minor correction, the structure would be adequate for its purpose. •• Hugh ey move d to grant a variance for the continu ed existence of the main structure , not to include the patio cover, for t he r eason of t he extreme hardship L~volved in r em oving it after it had been in existence and changed hand s . The motion was seconded by Hawley and una.~imously approved. Hugh ey r emarked that the objection of the adjoiner to the patio cover was pertinent to the public interest in the c ase , and that while the Board had granted varia.r1ce to similar structures in th,e pas t, it had no:t b een to the expressed detriment of adjoining propertie s . Koehler said that, in his opinion, allegations of other non-permitted con- struction on the property had no bearing on the variance requested and should be taken up in separate actions or proceedings. Runnels moved that a variance be gra~ted to allow the continued existence of the patio cover. The motion wa s seconded by Hugh ey and fail ed by the following note: For: None Against: Runnels, Hughey, Storts, Hawley, Harper. Agenda Item No. 4 --.Consideration of a request for variance from Timothy Keneipp at 203 Sn.ff olk: Koehler explained tha t the request was to allow the extension of a carport which existed 15 feet from the edge of an alley and that the extension would result in a clearance of 11 feet. He said that Mr. Badgett and Mr. Gay, adjoining neighbors had ~~am:ined the plans and said they h ad no objection. He said there would be no interference with utilities. Mr. Keneipp pointed out that, without the variance, the original structure would be lost and that he would have to remove several large trees. He said th~t most of the structures in the neighborhood had been built when garages were allowed much nearer the line than the proposed structure. Runnels moved that a variance be granted to allow the structure to be built as proposed in that the existing structure and irreplaceable trees would othert.Tise be lost and in that the proposal was not out of character with the existing neighborhood. The motion was seconded by Hughey and iinanimously approved. Agenda Item No. 5 --Oth er BusL~e ss : The Board remarked that agenda information should be delivered by at least the Friday preceeding a Tuesday meeting. Agenda Item No. 6 --Adjourn: There being no other bu s iness, the me eting was declared adjourned. AGENDA ZONING BOARD OF ADJ1JS'IMENT October 17 , 1978 7 :30 p . m. 1 .
