The public hearing was opened on Appeal No. 75-33, Ray Hawkins,
1401 South Washington Avenue, on an application to vary setbacks.
Mr. Hawkins is requesting a setback of 15' from the right-of-way
of Ella Street. A 25 foot zoning setback plus a 5 foot setback for the
Major Street Plan (total setback of 30 feet) is required from the right-of-way of Ella
Street
Mr. Hawkins also wished to put a 14 foot driveway onto Ella Street. In reply to
Miss Lighton's question, Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones said Mr. Hawkins would need
to obtain a driveway permit from the City Engineer's Office. She felt there would not be
any problem on that. She explained that his driveway could be 22 foot wide if he wanted it
that wide. She said there was a requirement for a minimum of 25 feet from any other driveway
and it had to be 40 feet from the intersection.
Mr. Hawkins was present to represent the request.
He told the Board of Adjustment that this was a narrow corner lot and he did not have room
to build the carport and patio ;on the south side. He said he could.'. -
build it on the back. -(west) since :the lot was..long, but he would have to build.it all the
way across the back because of the location of the kitchen or they wouldn't be able to enter
it (the kitchen) from the carport. He said most of the people parked along Washington
Avenue since they did not have driveways, even though there is no parking permitted on
Washington Avenue. He said he would like to be able to get his vehicles off the street.
In answer to David Newbern's question, Mr. Hawkins said the addition would not extend any
closer to Ella Street than the existing dwelling and that the existing building was built
before the present setback requirements were adopted.
There was no further discussion.
No one was present to oppose the request.
The public,hearing was concluded.
