on Monday, August 16, 1965, 7:30 p.m., with the following members .present:
Vice-Chairman Livermore, presiding; Members Murff, Adam and Whenthoff.
Vice-Chairman Livermore announced that it was his understanding that a
building permit had been issued for the construction of a new home at 3221
Amherst and that the plans for this construction included the installation..
of a circular driveway on the 75' frontage. At the request of City Manager
~ Whitt F. Johnson this circular driveway construction was being delayed so
~+ that the Zoning Board of Adjustment could review same. Mr. Johnson stated
~ that this particular problem was not covered by our present Zoning Ordinance
''~ but that similar requests in the past had been referred to the Zoning Board.
W
~ Members of the Zoning Board reviewed the Ordinance and in particular the
definitions of "Front Yard", Section 2, Para. 10; and of "Open Space",
Section 2, Para. 18.
It was motioned by Mr. W. B. Whenthoff and seconded by Mr. Murff:
1. The Board of Adjustment feels the present Zoning Ordinance
does not preclude the construction of circular driveways in
front of homes.
2. The Board of Adjustment recognizes that such construction under
certain circumstances could constitute a future problem for the
city.
3. The Board of Adjustment recommends to City Council that the
Zoning and Planning Board be made aware of this omission in the
present ordinance and that they study the problem with a view to
recommending changes to the present Ordinance if deemed desirable.
Motion was passed unanimously.
No further business came before the Board and motion was made, seconded and
carried to adjourn.
