Mrs. Leon Borden and Mrs. William Moore, interested parties; Suzanne Lighton,
applicant, and Harold E.'Lieberenz, City Building Inspector:
Members absent: T. M. Schieratz and J. F. Robinson.
The meeting was called td order by Chairman J. I. Smith. The Board of Adjustment
minutes of September 13, 1963, September 27, 1963, and October 1. 1963, were
approved as written and mailed to the members.
The first application to be considered by the Board was that of Judy and Marna
Robertson who requested�a variation to Zoning Ordinance No. 1239 for the use of
the property located at 124 South Duncan Avenue. Chairman Smith asked the City
Building Inspector to explain the application.
Harold Lieberent, City Building' Inspector, said that'he could not issue Chester
House, the applicants' builder; a building permit because the lot upon which the
applicants wanted to build did not have sufficient lot frontage. The applicants
own two lots which have a total of 100 foot street frontage. One lot has a dwelling
• already upon it: '-The applicants wculd like to build a duplex building'on the other
lot. The ordinance requires a 60 foot street frontage before building.e. duplex.
Mr. Lieberenz told the Board members that the applicants had said they plan to.build
onto the proposed duplex in the future to make an apartment building. This would
be done after the existing house located on the adjacent lot is moved or torn down.
Apartments would.be permitted as the property is in a Rw3 zone.
Judy Robertson told those present that the garage shown on the drawing was torn
down and therefore no longer existed.
Mrs. Leon Bowden, 122+1 South Duncan Avenue, owns the lot north of the applicants'
property. Mrs. Bowden said she would have objected if the building were to be
closer than five (5) feet to the north property line....She.was assured -the building
roof overhang -would be 5 feet from the property line. "
Mrs.
William Moore owns property
across the
street. She said she bad no objections
but
was merely interested in the
applicants'
request.
There being no further questions, the applicant and interested panties were
dismissed.
The neat and last application was that of Suzanne Lighton who requested a variation
to Zoning Ordinance No. 1239 for the use of the property located at 424 North Willow
Avenue in a F�2 Two Family Residential District.
• Harold Lieberenz, City Building Inspector, explained the application to the Hoard.
Permission had been requested by Suzanne Lighton to erect an attached car port on
the south side d her residence. The roof of the proposed car port will be four
(4) feet from the eoflth property line instead of the five (5) feet required by
124-2
Zoning Ordinance No. 1239,
Suzanne Lighton said she had requested to build closer to the property line
for safety and convenience. Miss Lighton said the existing garage was very
old and was not long enough. In bad weather she stated she parked her car in
the drive way; therefore she had considered building the car port on the
south side and attaching it to the house.
Luella M. Puckett owns the property to the south. ;Miss Lighton was sure
Miss Puckett had no objections. Miss Lighton said a slanting rock wall and
a wide drive separated the two properties. The people to the north and across
the street have no objections.
The Hoard had no questions; therefore the applicant was dismissed.
