BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES
The Board of Adjustment met on Friday, July 12, 1963, at 4:00 p.m. in the City
Council Room in the City Administration Building.
Members present: J. I. Smith, T. M. Schiewetz, J. A. Pennington and George Bowen.
Members absent: J. F. Robinson.
Applicants and others present: Harold E. Lieberenz, City Building Inspector;
Mr. Charles Adams, who represented Mr. Perry Taylor; Mr. Wilbur Watson, Mr. J. R.
Crocker, Attorney, and other members of the Washington County Farm Bureau were
present.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman J. I. Smith, Mr. Smith asked if there
were any minutes to be approved. There were none.
The City Inspector presented the problems involved in Perry Taylor's request.
Mr. H. E. Lieberenz said that the variation requested by Mr. Adams to the zoning
ordinance was for the use of property located at 619 North Oakland Avenue in a
R-4 Multi -family Residential and Dormitory District.
Mr. Lieberenz explained that the applicant requested permission from the Board to
build a two-story addition onto the rear of the existing residence to make rooms
for roomers. Roomers are permitted in this zone but the property is short about
• 175 square feet of lot area and short 10 feet of lot frontage on Oakland Avenue.
Because of the lot area and the lot front shortage, a variance from the ordinance
is needed.
After explaining the problems to the Board, Mr. Lieberenz read a signed statement
from property owners to north and to the south of Mr. Perry Taylor's lot.
Mr. T. M. Schiewetz asked Mr. Adams how far the new two-story section would be above
the existing dwelling. Mr. Adams' reply was that it would be four (4) feet.
Mr. J. I. Smith was concerned about the lot area and street frontage. For the
Board's benefit the figures were given again.
Before dismissing Mr. Adams, the Chairman thanked him for his cooperation.
Mr. Wilbur Watson, representative of the Washington County Farm Bureau, was present.
He appeared before the Board to request the reconsideration of action taken on the
Farm Bureau's proposed building on the corner of South School and West Sixth Street.
This reconsideration was requested because there was a property line dispute.
Property the Farm Bureau claimed was also claimed by Bill's Fix It Shop. The owner
of the Fix It shop uses the property in question for a drive. A settlement could
not be agreed upon.
Harold Lieberenz presented a sketch showing the Farm Bureau's property, the disputed
property and the location where the Bureau would like permission to erect their new
office building. The sketch showed the building would be built on the alley line
. (west property line), on the north property line and approximately one (1) foot from
104-2
the West Sixth Street property line. Mr. Lieberenz pointed out that the city
zoning ordinance requires ten (10) foot building setback from the alley line •
(west property line) and ten (10) foot setback from West Sixth Street.
At J. I. Smith's request Harold Lieberenz showed the Board members where the
School Street line and the alley line were located on the sketch. J. I.
Smith also asked if the Farm Bureau planned to have the entrance of the business
building on School Avenue or Sixth Street. Mr. Wilbur Watson stated that the
entrance would be on the southeast corner of the building.
Mr. Watson showed the Board of Adjustment members where the black top was on
Sixth Street. He said there is a space of 31 feet between the building and
the paved surface of West Sixth Street.
Mr. T. M. Schiewetz asked if the area between the sidewalk and the pavement on
Sixth Street was black topped. Mr. Lieberenz stated it had been black topped in
the past but was not in good shape. Mr. Schiewetz asked if the Farm Bureau
planned to use this area in its off-street parking. Mr. Watson said no.
Parking would be provided on the Farm Bureau's own lot.
Mr. Watson pointed out that the existing Campbell Soup feed mill building
to the west projects slightly out into the street (Sixth Street).
There was no further discussion, and the applicants were dismissed.
The Board considered the request of the Farm Bureau first. T. M. Schiewetz •
moved that the Board approve the request of the Washington County Farm
Bureau to build their office building one foot from West Sixth Street on
the alley line (west property line) and on the north property line. George
Bowen seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
George Bowen moved that the Board of Adjustment approve the application of
Perry Taylor and grant the lot frontage and lot area variance. The motion,
seconded by J. A. Pennington, passed unanimously.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Secretary
