MINUTES OF A BOARD QF ADJUSTMENT MEETING
Fayetteville Board of Adjustment was held Tuesday, June 3, 1975
the Board of Directors Room, City Administration Building,
kansas.
Chairman Carl Yates, Connie Clack, James White, David Newbern.
Suzanne Lighton.
John R. Webb, Bobbie Jones, Janet Bowen.
Chairman Carl Yates called the meeting to order and opened APPEAL NO. 75-17
the Public Hearing on Appeal No. 75-17, Mr. John B. Webb, John B. Webb
800 Cedarwood Avenue, on an application to vary setbacks. Mr. Webb is
requesting a setback of 10' 6" from the rear (East) property line in place
of the required 20 feet.
Mr. Webb was present to represent the request.
He told the Board of Adjustment that he had retired from a teaching position
at Woodland Junior High School and he wanted to build a hobby shop (16' x 18')
in which he could store his tools. He said he had a big 10 -inch table saw and
other tools that were too big to store in the existing storage building.
He would like to build this hobby shop so that it would be attached to the
existing storage building. He stated that this existing building was not in
compliance with the Zoning Ordinance setbacks and he did not know this until
he applied for a building permit.
Mr. Webb said the existing building had been there around 10 years.
In answer to Chairman Yates' question, Mr. Webb stated if he moved the proposed
building far enough West to meet the required setback that he would have to
remove a big oak tree. He said he would have to cut some branches off as
it was planned now. Also he would -have to fill in because of the slope of
the lot and this would make it more expensive when he went to lay his concrete
slab.
Mr. Webb said he had talked to Mr. Carnes (surrounding property owner) and
he indicated that he had no objections to what he had planned to build.
He said a Mrs. Fowler's name was on the deed as owner of the property on
Ora Street, but she had sold it to Maurice Hill on contract. Mr. Webb said
his wife had talked to Mrs. Fowler but they had not talked with Mr. Hill.
Chairman Yates acknowledged a written statement signed by Charles N. and
Dolores Carnes, 741 N. Lewis in which they stated they had no objection to
the variance as requested.
In conclusion, Mr. Webb said from a builder's standpoint and the lay of the
land that the site he indicated was the most logical place to put the proposed
building. He also pointed out that it would be better for the neighbors
as this would provide a type of screen whereas if he placed it to meet the
required setback the neighbors would be looking down on the roof of the hobby
shop.
There was no one present in opposition to the request.
The Public Hearing was concluded.
APPEAL NO. 75-17
The board members had no further questions. John B Webb
David Newbern moved to grant the variance as requested on Appeal No. 75-17.
Connie Clack seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
