ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
MINUTES FROM JANUARY 16, 1992
The Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting came to order at 7:38 P.M.
with Chairman Sterling Minor, Vic Hansen, Robert Mc Bride and
Teresa Fogler. Ed Beasley and Alice Benson, the city's Building
Official and Building Secretary were present. The board members
introduced themselves and all procedures were explained. The fifth
board member, Vice-Chairman Frank Billings arrived at 7:49 P.M.
The first case on the docket was number 91-24, 4210 Tennyson, Lot
10, Block 16, Colonial Terrace addition. This hearing was a
continuation from the December 19, 1991 meeting. The board members
opted to postpone their decision that evening until a copy of the
judgement could be reviewed at the January 16, 1992 meeting. After
a brief discussion between the board members regarding the garage
encroachment into the rear easement, the members voted to approve
the variance. Mr. Mc Bride made the motion to approve the variance
with a stipulation that if the garage structure (including the
• slab/foundation) was ever replaced, then the new structure would
need to comply with current regulations. Ms. Fogler seconded the
motion and the voting was unanimous.
There was a pause in the proceedings until 8:00 P.M. to ensure all
interested parties had the opportunity to appear for the next
hearing.
At 8:01 P.M. the board re-convened, re-intr•oduced themselves,
explained procedures and issued oaths for the second and final
case. Docket number 92-01, 6442 Buffalo Speedway, Lot N 1/2 of Lot
1, Block 30, W.U.P lst addition concerned a request for a variance
for construction of a circular driveway in the front set back with
a width in excess of 20'. Mr. Gordon Whittenburg, architect and
consultant for the owner of the property, Carole Dickinson, stated
that the request was two-fold: to create a safe ingress/egress
situated between the two large oak trees that might otherwise be
subject to damage. Mr. Beasley spoke in opposition to the proposed
construction; he stated that there were other alternatives to this
request and the building/zoning codes did not support this type of
construction.
Vice-Chairman Billings made the motion to close the hearing and was
seconded by Mr. Hansen. After discussion between the board
members, Vice-Chairman Billings made motion the deny the
~ application for a variance. Chairman Minor stated that this
request was not in the keeping of the spirit of the ordinance and
therefore did not show hardship. Ms. Fogler seconded the motion
and the voting was unanimous to deny the request.
