December 19, 1978
MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Hughey; Members Hawley, Jones,
Harper; Building Official Koehler
Agenda Item Number 1 -- Approval of the minutes of the meeting of
November 21. 1978:
Hawley moved that the minutes be approved as presented. The motion
was seconded by Jones and unanimously approved.
Agenda Item Number 2 -- Consideration of a request to expand a non-
conforming structure by Holliday Oil Company:
Koehler explained that the proposed addition did not itself encroach on
any building line, that parking met minimum requirements and that the
original building did not meet rear setback requirements.
Mr. Don Ganter said that he and Mr. Anz owned similar businesses in the
area and that parking and pedestrian traffic conditions were severe. He
said that attracting more such traffic would increase the problem.
Mr. George Boyett said that he and others represented by him had commer-
cial, property in the area and recognized parking and traffic problems.
He offered the. opinion that further expansion should not be permitted
until positive steps had been taken to alleviate the problems that now
exist.
Mr. Holliday said that his plan provided for 14 parking spaces which
exceeds the number of spaces provided by many of the existing businesses
mentioned.
The Chair moved that the request be approved because the conditions of
parking had existed for some time, Because parking on site was sufficient
for the use proposed and because the proposed construction would not
increase the existing non-conformity. The motion was seconded by Jones.
Hawley commented that the addition of space and change of .nature of use
would compound a severe problem which already existed.
The motion failed by the following vote:
FOR: Hughey, Jones, Harper
AGAINST: Hawley

Agenda Item Number 3 -- Consideration of a request to expand a non-
conforming structure from Larry Hill:
Koehler explained that the existing residence did not meet rear setback
requirements and that the proposed expansion was the addition of a
second story which. would not exceed the horizontal limits of the exist-
ing structure. He pointed out that the Board had considered and rejected
an earlier proposal and that this request had corrected objectionable
features of the first proposal. He said that the cooking facilities
would have to be deleted.
Mr. Hi11 concurred with. deletion of the cooking facilities.
The Chair moved that the request be granted because the extension will
not substantially alter the character of the structure or increase the
non-conformity. The motion was seconded by Harper and unanimously
approved.
Agenda Item Number 4 -- Other Business
There was no other business.
Agenda Item Number 5 -- Adjourn:
