Voting was unanimous. The motion
The first item of business was a request by John Fortner,
owner of the lot known as Lot 14, Block 2, Meadow Lark Division
No. 2 (2040 Midway). The request concerned the permission from
Planning and Zoning to allow Mr. Fortner to construct a garage
on said property before the principal residence. He stated he
intended to place this structure to the rear of his property
to allow for storage of construction equipment. After
consideration, the commission determined that Mr. Fortner would
be allowed to so construct this building with the condition that
from the date of the issuance of the permit to construct the
garage, he would apply and purchase a permit for the principal
residence within a six (6) month time period, and to commence
construction on this residence within six (6) months after the
issuance of permit. Mr. Fortner agreed to these conditions.
.
The second item of business was a request for a variance
by Ken and Sandi Hunter of 2270 Dove Drive. The request was
to construct an addition (garage) to the existing residence with
a reduction in the required sideyard. After review of the
request, it was determined that the owners, Hunters, did not
meet the qualifications of the granting of a variance. The
commission suggested they might consider not attaching the
building and moving it to the rear of their yard. Mr. Hunter
stated he had some other ideas concerning the proposed addition,
and he then informed the commission he would take the plans and
re-work them.
