Agenda Items, Meeting of July 17, 1979
Agenda Item Number Two (2) -this request is for the addition
of certain improvements to an existing duplex located at 300
l~. Dexter. The improvements are explained in detail in a letter
from Mr. Hickman which is included elsewhere in this packet.
The improvements are substantially complete at this time. These
improvements were noticed by ~y office and a building inspector
while inspecting that property for other zoning related matters.
The owner, Mr. Hickman, was notified of local ordinances and
codes requiring permits for such improvements. Once notified
Mr. Hickman proceeded to take every possible action necessary
to secure the required permits and inspectiogs. Because of the
non-conformity of the use of his structure, Mr. Hickman was
referred to my office when he applied for the necessary permit.
Agenda Item Number Three (3~ -This request is for the expansion
of a structure that does not conform wHh the setback requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance. The use of the structure, a game room
and storage, does comply.
The existing structure does not comply with side or rear setback
requirements (see site plan submitted by applicant). The requested
expansion would also not comply wfth the rear setback requirement,
but the infringement would be the same as the existing structure.
I would like to poi.nt out that the faci.lUi.es proposed for the
expansfon (b.athroom with a shower, wet bar} create a structure which
could easily be converted into a lfving unft. The addition of any
cooking facflities (such as a simple hot plate) would create a
duplex as defined by our exfstfng ordinances. While the applicant
may have no intentions of using this facility for a dwelling unit,
any future owner could easily do this. The only way we could be aware
of the conversion of this structure to an illegal duplex would be
through the complaints of adjacent property owners.

MEMORANDUM:
TO: Zoning Official
FROM: Bill Koehler, Building Official
SUBJECT: Construction at 300 W. Dexter
Mr. Hickman will apply for the appropriate permit upon
the Board's approval of the additions to the structure.
The permit will reflect any changes necessary to make the
structure sound as well as the work which has been completed
without a permit.
Mr. Hickman has obtained the services of an engineer to specify
any necessary changes in the structure and permit approval will
be based upon that engineer's recommendations.
Should the Board choose not to grant the expansion, this office
will require demolition or restoration to original condition of
unapproved portions to be accomplished within thirty (30) days
of the Board's actions.
We have not filed charges of violation of the Building Code and
we do not foresee doing so in view of Mr. Hickman's cooperation
and prompt action to date .
