as per the attached plans and drawings with the condition a permit be obtained from the
Building Department.
Chairman Shope called on Neal Cooper of Tin Barn LLC for his comments.
Mr. Cooper stated the Hale family to reside here were both employed by American
Airlines. He reminded the Commission this was originally three lots, but had now been
replatted by seven and one-half feet from the property line to try to balance out the lots,
actually from build line to build line.
Chairman Shope confirmed the existing one-story house was to be "lifted"; Mr. Cooper
said correct, to be lifted to allow the foundation work underneath, no moving.
Commissioner Voelker questioned the drawing of the garage on the east side at 500
square feet; Mr. Cooper said there was a combined workshop added in and the actual
total was 674 square feet not the 500 square feet as listed on the legend of the
drawings. The Commission agreed this was executed similar to previous garage plans
requiring a variance to combine the two hundred square feet allowed for a tool shed to
become part of the garage. They agreed to approve the garage/shed variance as a
condition of the motion for approval. Commissioner Voelker questioned if the added
square feet would increase the building coverage past the maximum 40 percent, and
was told no.
Commissioner Telford complimented not tearing the house down.
Margaret Telford moved to close the Public Hearing for #CA1 9-127; Vick Cox seconded
the motion, noting it was nice the house was left intact, prevailing in a vote of:
Ayes: 7 (Shope, Anderson, Cox, Gilliland, Parker, Telford and Voelker)
