• The Board of Adjustment met on Friday, April 13, 1962, at 4:00 p.me in the City
Council Room in the City Administration Building.
Members present: Mr. John I. Smith, Mr. J. F. Robinson and Mr. T. M. Schiewetz.
Members absent: Mr. George Bowen and Mr. James A. Pennington.
Others present: Mr. Harold E. Lieberenz, city building inspector, and Mr. Ralph
Lehman, applicant.
The Chairman called the meeting to order. The minutes of the last meeting (March 23,
1962) were corrected. The Chairman requested a corrected copy of these minutes be
sent to the Board members for approval at the next meeting.
Mr. Ralph Lehman was the only applicant to appear before the Board of Adjustment.
The variation requested by Mr. Lehman to the Zoning Ordinance is for the use of the
property located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Mission Boulevard and
Maple Street at 438 Mission Boulevard,
Mr. Lehman owns a strip of land one hundred (100) feet by one hundred ten (110) feet.
A business building and a residence are located on this property. The applicant wants
to remodel the existing front of the business building by adding a new section to this
building. This addition will only be approximately eight (8) feet from the Mission
Boulevard property line instead of the twenty-five (25) feet required by the City Zoning
Ordinance. Also, the proposed addition would be approximately twelve (12) feet from an
• existing residence on the lot. The ordinance states that buildings should be fifteen
(15) feet or more from side property lines.
Mr. Lehman explained to the Board that he needed more room for his business. The new
addition will be a lwan mower sales and service display.
Mr. Smith asked if any neighbors had objected to the proposed addition. Mr. Lehman
said he owned several lots south of his business and the gas company had property to
the east of his business. Mr. Monroe Lanier who lives west of Mr. Lehman had no
objections. Mr. Lieberenz reported he had received no objections.
Mr. Schiewetz wanted to know if there was any proposed street widening in the area.
After chekcing the Set -Back Ordinance, Mr. Lieberenz reported the proposed width for
Mission Boulevard was sixty (60) feet and since Mission Boulevard is already sixty
(60) feet wide in most places and is approximately sixty-eight (68) feet in front of
Mr. Lehmans business, there would not be any street widening problem in this area.
Mr. Robinson asked if the eight (8) feet shown on the sketch was the actual right-of-
way line. Mr. Lehman stated that his building was eight (8) feet from the property
line as far as he knew.
Air. Schiewetz asked if all the residences on the east side of the street were set back
from the street about the same distance. Mr. Lieberenz and Mr. Lehman said all of the
residential buildings set back about the same distance from the street.
• There was no further discussion; therefore the applicant was dismissed.
Mr. Schiewetz moved that the Board approve the variation requested by Mr. Ralph Lehman
provided that Mr. Lehman provide off -the -street parking in the rear of his business
44-2
building. The motion was seconded by Mr. Robinson and passed unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned. •
