PUBLIC HEARING, BZA 82-01, BRADFORD V. NAVARRO
The first order of business to come before the Board of Zoning
Adjustments was the public hearing for and consideration of
Application No. BZA 82-01 submitted by Mr. Bradford V. Navarro.
The Oath of Truth was administered to applicant Brad Navarro.
Mr. Navarro then explained that when he purchased the lot, his
intentions were to redo the house and fix it up as a home for
his mother to live in. However, the house was in extremely
bad condition, and he had then changed his plans to clear the
house from the property and rebuild another home, for which he
would need a 14' variance in the front yard setback requirement
and a 71 variance in the rear yard setback requirement. Mr.
Navarro also presented his construction plans for the Board to
review.
A lengthy discussion then ensued, during which it was noted that
all of the lot in question was zoned "C-2" Commercial property
and that the lot was much larger than that particular area
being considered.
It was also noted that all neighboring property owners had been
notified of the public hearing and that the following letter of
opposition had been received.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your notice on 1307 Worthington Dr.
(14 ft. variance in front & 4 ft. in rear) I am
against this. It will crowd the driveway across
street when there is any parking along that side
of the street. There just isn't adequate room
on that "small portion of lot 3" to build a
residence.
Mr. Bradford V. Navarro has failed to comply with
parking regulations with the business on the other
part of that lot (3). His parking space is pad-
locked --his customers park on street (Worthington)
head in instead of parallel as they should. I
have had a tree damaged also a post bent over from
being backed into. I am strongly against allowing
this change.
Yours truly,
Mattie J. Robinson
Owner of 1314 Worthington Dr.
There was then additional discussion concerning the parking
requirements for the proposed residence and the existing
business on the other end of the lot in question. Question
was asked as to whether there would be enough parking spaces
if the proposed residence was ever used for commercial pro-
perty in the future. Mr. Navarro commented that at this
time he has no plans of ever using the residence for com-
mercial purposes.
Member Gerald Thompson then made a motion to approve the
variance as submitted. The motion was seconded by Member
Charles Cox and prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes Woods, Cox, Lamb, Thompson, Spencer
Nays None
Absent: Buckner, Wright
It was the general concensus of the Board as their feelings
were conveyed to Mr. Navarro that he make every effort
possible to provide off-street parking and pursuade the
customers of the existing business to park on the portion
of the lot between t}ae business and the proposed residence.
CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES
The next order of business was for the Board of Zoning Adjust-
ments to consider the minutes of July 1, 1981 and October 1,
1981.
It was noted that an amendment needed to be made to the minutes
of October 1, 1981 on page 4 of 4 concerning the vote taken on
Application No. BZA 81-10. According to the minutes Member
Doug Lamb voted for the variance and also abstained from voting.
Member Lamb actually did abstain from voting, and the amendment
was made to delete his name from the list of those voting "aye".
Member Charles Cox then made a motion to approve the July 1, 1981
minutes as published and approve the October 1, 1981 minutes as
amended. The motion was seconded by Alternate Jerry Spencer and
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes Woods, Cox, Lamb, Thompson, Spencer
Nays None
Absent: Buckner, Wright
