MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
December 15, 1961, 4:00 p.m. Court Room
Present: Mr. John I. Smith, Mr. George Bowen, Mr. Tom Schiewetz, Mr. Harold
Lieberenz and applicant Mr. William Combs.
Absent: Mr. J. F. Robinson and Mr. James A. Pennington.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman John I. Smith. The minutes of the
last meeting were approved as mailed to the members of the Board of Adjustment
prior to the meeting.
The applicant, Mr. William Combs, requested a variation to the Zoning Ordinance
for the use of the property located at Combs Grocery at 509 Huntsville Road.
This property is located in a C-1 Neighborhood Commercial Zone of the City of
Fayetteville.
An oil company started erecting gasoline pump islands in front of Combs Grocery
before they knew a building permit was needed.
The existing street width is 44 feet and the Major Street Setback Ordinance
proposes a 50 -foot street. This means the width of the street would be widened
3 feet on each side of the highway. The Zoning Ordinance requires gasoline
pump islands to be 15 feet from this proposed street line. The pump islands
will only be about 10.5 feet from the proposed street line.
Mr. Combs said that Russell Howard of Phillips Oil Company had talked to the
highway department and the highway department did not object to the location
of the pump islands.
Mr. Combs said he did not know he was violating any ordinance and did not
know a permit was necessary to erect pump islands. He thought the pump
islands were setback at least 12 feet from the proposed widening line. He
also felt the two islands would be safer and would allow more parking.
There was no further discussion, and the applicant was dismissed.
Mr. Schiewetz moved that the Board of Adjustment grant Mr. William Combst
request for a variation from the City Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Bowen seconded
the motion, and the motion passed unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned. �y
