Acting Chairman Robert Frohwein called the meeting to order
and asked for approval of the minutes from the meeting of December

approved.
NEW BUSINESS:
I . Application for Variance filed by New Community Baptist Church
to construct an addition to the church that will encroach the rear
yard setback of property located at 84 Lewis Street .
Rev . James Jennings introduced himself to the board and explained
that the variance was requested to allow the construction of an
addition to the rear of the church to serve as as a pastor's study
and prayer room.
Contractor Robert Lawrence introduced himself to the board and
stated that a prior variance had been granted for an addition to
the old church building but during construction it revealed
extensive damage and it was necessary to construct a new church.
After discussion regarding alternative construction plans for which
a variance would not be required, Mr. Frohwein moved to deny the
variance. Mrs . Walker seconded the motion and the variance was
denied by a vote of 5 - 1 .
II . Application for Use-by-Exception filed by Sarah B. Jackson to
operate a daycare business at property located at 458 Sargo Road.
The Chairman pointed out that a daycare business was not listed as
a use by exception under the RS-1 zoning district and therefore it
was his opintion that the board could not act upon the application.
After discussion by the board and several members of the audience
who use Mrs . Jackson' s services , Mr . McGowan moved to recommend to
the City Commission the the use by exception be denied due to the
fact that a daycare center is not a listed use by exception in a
RS-1 zoning district . Mrs . Gregg seconded the motion and it was
unamimously approved.
III . The board discussed various additions or amendments to the
Application for Variance form now being used. The general
concensus of the board was that the applicant be informed of the
intent of the ordinances under which the board could act upon.
They also agreed that the section of the ordinance be shown on the
application and that the owner and/or applicant be listed
separately when applicable.
