Mr. Robinson
presided
as
chairman
in the absence of Mr.
Smith. The minutes of the last
meeting were
approved
as
mailed to
the members prior to
the meeting.
The first application was that of Reverend A. D. Stuckey. The variation requested by
Reverend Stuckey in behalf of the Calvary Baptist Church to the Zoning Ordinance is for the
use of the property located at 417 North West Avenue. This property is in an R-4 residential
zone.
The church has bought property to the south on West Avenue and Maple and would like to use
part of the lot for additional "off -the -street« parking. In this R-4 zone church "uses"
must be approved by the Board of Adjustment before the church can convert part of the lot to
"off -the -street" parking.
Mr. Bowen
stated the
church definitely needed
more parking space.
Their lack of parking has
created a
dangerous
situation on West Street
and Wilson.
Mr. Robinson asked if the property was recently purchased. Reverend Stuckey said the lot
had been recently purchased. There was no further discussion, and the applicant was dis-
missed.
• The second application was that of Dr. S. T. Hucke. The variation requested by Dr. Hucke
to the Zoning Ordinance is for the use of the property located at 346 St. Charles Avenue.
This property is located in a R-4 residential zone.
The applicant wants to remodel his home by building a new room and an attached car port and
garage. The roof of the proposed garage would be only. 2.5 feet from his south property line.
Mr. Lieberenz asked Dr. Hucke if the garage would be closed -in. He said it would.
Mr. Bowen asked where the drive -way is located. The drive -way is in the back of the house.
Dr. Hucke wishes to build the garage in such a way that it would not impede the view in the
back. He wishes to be able to see the back yard so that the children can be watched.
Mrs. O'Kelley owns the property to the south. Mr. Robinson was concerned about the neighbor
to the south building as close to the property line. Both houses would then be extremely
close.
Dr. Hucke plans to use the garage as a work (hobby) shop and storage room; otherwise the
garage would not have to be enclosed.
Mr. Robinson asked if the garage could be built closer to the alley, but the slope of the
lot might complicate building the garage in another location.
