BOARD :OF ADJUSTMENT The Board of Adjustment meeting was held on Tuesday, August 10, 2004, at 4:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of City Hall. Present were members Wallace Reeves, Nell Petty and Gary Hatrick. Also present were Bill Burgess, Building Official and Karla Owens, City attorney. Absent were Pat Besinger and William Poe, Sr. Meeting was called to order by Chairman Reeves. Roll call was taken, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Approval/correction of minutes - July 13, 2004. Motion was made by Gary Hatrick to approve the minutes. Seconded by Nell Petty and passed unanimously. Item 1 - Patrick A. Biddle, 39049 Cardinal Avenue. Variance request to allow setbacks of 3 foot on the rear and 3.75 foot on the side for proposed shed. Mr. Biddle, homeowner, presented his side, stating he did not know a building permit was required and that he had a 10'x14' concrete slab poured with two course of blocks laid where previous owners had had a shed. It was at this point that Burgess issued a stop work order on his site for non-compliance of a required permit. Mr. Biddle proceeded to the Building Department for a permit, but since his site plan did not meet required setbacks for the shed, he was informed that he would need to apply for a variance. After lengthy discussion, it seemed to be questionable as to whether Mr. Biddle's situation constituted a hardship. Therefore, motion was made by Gary Hatrick to have a continuance of this request until Tuesday, September 14th, allowing board members to do an on-site inspection of the property. Seconded by Nell Petty and passed unanimously. Board members agreed to meet for the on-site inspection on Friday, August 20th at 10 a.m. Attorney Owens cautioned members to not discuss continuation of said meeting with the owner. Item 2 - Petroleum Plus, Inc., 5855 Gall Boulevard. Variance request for front building setback of 16 feet to proposed gas island canopy column.
