The first item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA 90-12, submitted by Mr. Robert Jones for his property located at 3030 Sweethriar, Lot 18, Block 2, Trail Lake Estates. Mr. Jones is requesting a variance to Section 15.G.3 of Zoning Ordinance 82-73, which requires a 6 foot side yard, to allow a maximum 3.1 foot encroachment by the northeast corner of the principal structure, which is presently the rear of the garage. Joy Carroll stated that Staff recommended approval for the encroachment relating to existing development which is in no way the fault of the applicant. Robert Jones, applicant, took the Oath of Truth and explained that within a year after his house was built, he discovered his driveway was built on the neighbor's property. He also explained that after about 4 years in court over the matter, he and his neighbor settled out of court in which the encroachment would have to be removed. He received a sum of money from his builder and surveyor to put another driveway on the other side of the house which is the only way to get to the garage. Phillip Perry, of 3025 Trail Lake Drive, took the Oath of Truth and explained that his house was located north of Mr. Jones'. Mr. Perry I s house and back yard was flooded due to the runoff which came through where Mr. Jones' old driveway was removed. Mr. Perry requested the Board deny Mr. Jones' variance request or grant approval, with stipulations that Mr. Jones place sand bags at the west side curb cut, repair the new curb cut on the east side, not be allowed to bring in more sand and have the City require a survey showing the forms for the new driveway to be at least 2 inches higher than the curb. Gerald Thompson noted that the drainage problem will be corrected when the old curb cut is filled in and the new driveway is completed, then the drainage from the street will be directed to the storm drain. Greg Wheeler stated a permit will be issued contingent upon the Board's approval. He explained that Engineering will make an inspection on the approach and will require it to be 2 inches above the curb. There was also discussion on connecting a French drain to an underground pipe in the easement in Mr. Jones' backyard to catch runoff.
