The Chairman opened the meeting by asking the secretary to read the
minutes of the meeting held June 25, 19511, which were approved.
Mr. C. R. Gilbreath has requested to build a residence on a lot on East.
Maple and Mt. Sequoyah Drive 81 closer to Maple Street than the 25 ft. required
by the Zoning Ordinance. The lot is 150' North and South and 1301 East and West.
All points of the residence meet within the required footage (251) from property
line except the one corner of carport which is 171 from the south line of Maple
Street. The matter was discussed.as to whether or not East Maple would ever be
opened in the future for public use. All members were of the same opinion that
it probably would not be opened. The matter of whether the home across East,
Maple from Mr. Gilbreath's would be blocked in any manner was; discussed and it
was decided that it would not impair the viesp since the East side would be: 251
• from North Sequoyah Drive and that Mr. Gilbreath was down the hill from
Mr. NoUiw. house. Mr. Gilbreath was asked if the house w4 moved back if it,
would necessitate to build up the foundation very much and he stated that it
would. Although an actual estimate of footage of where the drop of foundation
begins could not be given, the building inspector and Mr. Gilbreath said that
they would estimate it to be about two or three feet* It was also mentioned
that no building would eirer be built in the future to the south or to the west.
Mr. Gilbreath stated that he had sever& plans drawn up and the one presented
today was the one that he thought would fit this lot the best. Mr. Mc Goodwin
suggested that Mr. Lieberenz, the Building Inspector, go to the site and determine
the footage where the drop of foundation begins. Mr. Young made a motion that
since all members; agreed that they should go to the site and give the matter
more consideration that no decision be made at this time and that.a special
meeting of the Board be held Friday August 6, 19511, at 3:30 P.M. Mr. Lewis;

Ordinance pertaining to this particular problem. Another factor is, that.if
the addition is built according to the plan presented, which is 20' fran the
property line, it would greatly endangerthe traffic at the intersection of
Oakland and Maples a constantly used thoroughfare.. The Chairman requested
that the Building Inspector put 20' and 281 stakes out at the site. Since no
decision could be met and all members were of the opinion that the matter
should be given more consideration, Mr. Carter made a motion to postpone the
variation until the special meeting of the Board, which has been set for
Friday, August 6, 1954. It was agreed that all future meetings of the Board
would meet at 3:30 P.M. instead of 4:00 P.M. Mr. Young seconded the motion.
