STAFF REPORT: Director Askew presented the information as explained in the staff
report. She also provided a PowerPoint presentation.
APPLICANT COMMENT: Rachel Martin introduced herself as the owner of 730
Plaza. She said that she lives in Jacksonville but her and her husband are renovating
730 Plaza. Mrs. Martin explained the reason for her design and what she is trying to
achieve with the garage style addition.
PUBLIC COMMENT: Chair Hansen opened the Public Hearing. There were no
speakers and the Public Hearing was closed.
BOARD DISCUSSION: Ms. Simmons liked the fact that it is in keeping with the
neighborhood. She said she does not see a justification for a variance according to the
code criteria for approval. Mr. Elmore agreed that it was a self-imposed hardship and
the lot was large enough for another approach. Ms. Lanier said that it does not fit into
any of the 6 code criteria. Ms. Paul complimented the owner on renovating the home
instead of demolishing it. She added that she does not see any code criteria that would
allow the Board to approve.
MOTION: To DENY ZVAR19-0013 since it does not meet the land development regulations
criteria.
