Members present: J. A. Pennington, George Bowen and J. F. Robinson. Members absent: J. F. Palmer and Wade Fincher. Others present: John P. Hensen, applicant; Paul Walker, applicant; and Harold Garrett. The meeting was called to order by Chairman J. F. Robinson. The minutes of 'July 27, 1966, were approved as written and mailed to the members. The First application given consideration was that of John P. Hensen of Sunray DX Oil Company. Mr. Hensen explained to the Board that the company proposed to remodel the service station at -331 Anccibald Yell Boulevard. Part of the remodeling would be to erect a 24 foot by 24 foot canopy over existing gasoline pumps. The canopy will be approximately 6 inches from the highway right of way. The zoning ordinance requires a setback of 15 feet from the highway right of way. • Mr. Hensen said in no way would the canopy obscure the vision of the motorist. It is 13 to 14 feet from the drive way up to the canopy. The posts will be on the island and not at the edge of the canopy. There were no questions from the Board members, so the applicant was dismissed. Y Paul Walker appeared before the Board to.request permission to build an addition onto an existing commercial building at 1121 South School Avenue. The addition would be on the rear (west) property line instead of setback 10 feet as required by the zoning ordinance. Mr. Walker told the Board that the building would go up to the bank. The addition would have a 12 inch wall to back. :.: ..oil -0- Mr. Harold Garrett asked to be heard. Mr. Garrett brought the Board up to date on the request made by Bryce Davis- for the use of property on the NE corner of Eagle Street and Storer Avenue. Mr. Garrett said it would not be possible to close the 20 foot alley to the east. Property owners, whose property abuts the alley, do not want the • alley closed. Because the alley could not be closed, Mr. Garrett asked the Board for permission to build 7 apartment units. Since the alley was not closed the lot area of 14,000 square feet would support only 6 units which 262-2 would require 13,000 square feet of the 14,000. The lot was 500 square feet short of being large enough for the 7 units. • The Board thanked Mr. Garrett and said his request would be considered. - 0 - A request made by Joe Fred Starr was called to the attention of the Board by the lained that Joe red Development, Inc., proposed o It was d222 more apartmentFunits inStarr Building No. of Skull Creek than had been presented to the Board on July 27. This would be a total of 62 units in Building No. 3 instead of 40 units. The Board concluded that if the additional 22 units did not over tax the off-street parking and lot area that it would not be unreasonable to approve the request. The Board did ask to be informed of any other changes in the plans of Skull Creek Development, Inc. There was discussion of John P. Henson's request for the use of property at 331 Anccibald Yell Boulevard. J. A. Pennington moved that the Board waive the yard requirements of the zoning ordinance and authorize the building inspector to issue a permit for the construction of a canopy which will be 6 inches at the closest point from the highway right of way.
