A. 195 Seminole Road ZVAR24-0001 (Jeffrey Hawkins)
Request for a variance from Section 24-82(c) to allow A/C equipment and pool equipment to
be located closer than 5 feet to the side property line.
STAFF REPORT: Director Askew presented the information as explained in the staff
report. She also provided a PowerPoint presentation. Ms. Golombek asked about the
location of the slab for the A/C and pool equipment. Director Askew pointed out the
proposed location of the slab and explained that the stormwater retention could be broken
up and placed in different areas around the property.
APPLICANT REPORT: Jeffrey Hawkins of 195 Seminole Road introduced himself
as the property owner. He explained where the equipment would be located and said it
would be 3 and a half feet from the property line. Mr. Haynie asked if there was another
option that wouldn't require moving the equipment to the side yard. Mr. Hawkins said
he would have to ask his engineer. Ms. Farford asked if he had applied for his swimming
pool permit. Mr. Hawkins said he was waiting to work out the issues with the equipment
before applying for a permit. He said he had a petition for support from 14 neighbors
and he submitted that to the Chair who read it to the Board. Mr. Gear asked if the
neighbor to the north was in favor of the request. Mr. Hawkins said they were.
PUBLIC COMMENT: There was no public comment.
BOARD DISCUSSION: Mr. Gear asked about the reference to a previous variance
request that was similar and approved. Mr. Haynie said he didn't see a reason for
approval of the variance request. Ms. Farford said she would have liked to see the pool
permit to help make a decision.
