PUBLIC HEARING - BZA 80-2, W. D. GUEST
The first order of business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustments
to consider BZA Application 80-2 submitted by Mr. W. D. Guest.
Mr. Buckner swore in those persons expected to give testimony.
He then explained that the applicant was requesting a fifteen foot
(15') variance in the fifteen foot (15') rear yard requirement and
a variance of four (4) parking spaces in the required twenty-two
(22) spaces.
Mr. Guest then commented that his intent was to construct a two-
story showroom and storage facility in relation to his retail
furniture business. He added that the proposed location was the
northeast corner of Jenkins and Franklin.
A lengthy discussion centered around the possibility of the
loading dock causing traffic problems, fire protection and future
construction to the north and east.
It was noted that the proposed facility would be a great improvement
over the existing structure.
Member Gerald Thompson then made a motion to approve the application
as submitted. The motion was seconded by Member Jerry Spencer and
failed by the following vote:
Ayes: Buckner, Spencer and Thompson
Nays: Charles Cox
Member Charles Cox commented that he voted in opposition because he
felt the proposed building was too large for the lot size.
PUBLIC HEARING - BZA 80-4, JOHN DUNKIN
The next order of business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustments
to consider BZA 80-4 submitted by Mr. John Dunkin.
Vice Chairman Buckner administered the Oath to the applicant. He
then explained that Mr. Dunkin had started an apartment project
several months ago on property located on the northeast corner of
Shadybrook and Meadowbrook. However, prior to taking out a
Building Permit, the City Council passed an ordinance increasing
the minimum square footage requirements in apartment dwellings.
Therefore, causing Mr. Dunkin's long awaited project to no longer
conform to City Building Codes. As a result, the following
variances were requested:
