Mr. Wayne Perry, Assistant Building Inspector.
u
Mrs. Taylor referred to a sketch outling the existing house, a sun porch that
is being enclosed with glass and the proposed location of a redwood deck. Mrs.
Taylor stated that the house was small and it was their hope that putting the
deck adjacent to the glass enclosed sun porch would provide an "open area"
appearance from their home. Mrs. Taylor further stated that there were no
plans to live or entertain on the deck inasmuch as they intended to put plants
on it, and they also had planned no lighting for the deck.
Mr. Perry stated that Mr. Taylor's application for a building permit had been
denied inasmuch as his plans called for construction of a redwood deck to
join the proposed fence and would thereby be over the three (3') foot setback
that was required by the Zoning Ordinance.
Motion by Mr. Billings, seconded by Mr. Ayres, that the public hearing be closed.

Mr. Casey introduced himself .and identified his residence in the city, fo]lowed
by each member of the Board,
Mr. Casey ascertained from the secretary that Notice of-Public Hearing was.
published in the Southwestern Argus on Wednesday, October 2, 1975, and notice
was mailed to all property owners within 200 feet of the. property in question
on September 30; 1975..
Mr. Casey administered the Oath to Dr. and Mrs, Jahns and Mr. Wayne Perry, Assis-
tant Building Inspector.
Dr. Jahns advised the Board that he requested a re-hearing inasmuch as he had
re-drawn plans for the proposed carport after considering the feasibility of
parking one automobile further east than was shown on the original drawing.
Dr. Jahns pointed out on a sketch that placing the line of the carport supports
as near to an existing column as practical to clear an automobile would still.
place the supports beyond the setback requirements, however, the encroachment
would be less than previously requested.
Mrs.. .Jahns stated that it was their desire to be able to place two cars side
by side to eliminate the necessity of having to move one car for the other to
get out of the carport.
Dr. Jahns stated if the Board was fearful that. a fence would be constructed
alongside the carport essentially closing it in for a garage, he would be happy
for the Board to put such a constraint on granting the application.
Mr. Perry stated that the proposed carport would still be encroaching on the
required three (3') foot side setback requirement of the Zoning Ordinance,
therefore, making it necessary for the Inspection Department to deny an appli-
cation fora permit.
The Board reviewed the sketch of the proposed construction of a deck by Mr.
Thomas P. Taylor, 3~i13 Plumb.
Motion by Mr. Billings, seconded by Mr. Doughty, that inasmuch as the applica-
tion filed by Mr. Thomas P. Taylor, bearing Docket No. 75-12, failed to show
that literal. enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance. would result in un-
necessary hardship, that such application be denied.
