NEW BUSINESS:
I. Application for Variance filed by New Community Baptist
Church to construct an addition to the church which will encroach
the setback requirements on property at 84 Lewis Street;
Reverend James R. Jennings introduced himself to the board and
stated that the congregation had grown from 4 to over 100 members
in the last year and additional space was required by the church
to accommodate the membership.
After discussion Don Wolfson moved to grant the variance on the
condition that the adjoining lot also owned by the church be
combined with the lot on which the church is situated and the
addition be constructed in an L shape so that the addition does
not encroach the required rear yard setback. Mrs. Gregg seconded
the motion and the variance was unanimously granted.
II. Application for Variance filed by Robert B. Persons, Jr. ,
and Gloria M. Persons construct an addition to a non-conforming
structure located at 311 Tenth Street.
Mr. Persons introduced himself to the board and stated the
reasons a variance was requested. He presented letters from
neighbors stating their approval of the proposed construction.
After discussion the board determined that the addition would not
increase the nonconformance. Ms. Gregg moved to approve the
variance as submitted. Mr. Frohwein seconded the motion the
variance was unanimously granted.
III. Application for Variance filed by Mary Dorsett and Martha
Fischer to construct a detached garage which will encroach the
rear and side yard setback requirements on property located at
1070 East Coast Drive.
Kenneth Gaskill, builder for the applicants, introduced himself
to the board and explained the reasons the variance was
requested. Ms. Dorsett also introduced herself to the board as
owner of the property.
After discussion related to possible alternatives, the applicants
requested that the application be deferred until the next
regularly scheduled meeting at which time they would submit an
amended application. The board agreed to the deferment.
IV. Application for Variance filed by Willis Contractors, Inc. ,
on behalf of Robert and Minnie Vannoy to construct a pool
enclosure that encroaches the side yard setback requirement on
property located at 2009 Selva Madera Court.
David Willis introduced himself to the Board and explained that
the construction of the house had been altered to save a large
tree on the property at the request of the Tree Conservation
Board and a variance was needed to build the pool enclosure.
After discussion Ms. Gregg moved to approve the variance. Mr.
Frohwein seconded the motion and the variance was unanimously
granted.
Mr. Wolfson reported that two items previously denied by the
Community Development Board and appealed to the City Commission
were upheld by the City Commission because it was determined that
the Community Development Board had acted legally and complied
with the City ordinances. He also noted that two additional
appeals were scheduled for the first Commission meeting in
January.
There being no further business to come before the board the
meeting was adjourned.
