BA99-4: VARIANCE
DOGWOOD BUILDERS, pp 448
This item was submitted by Jack Nickell of Dogwood Builders for property located at 999
Applebury Drive. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains
approximately 0.35 acres. The request is for a variance of the 25 foot east setback to incorporate
the roof overhang of the structure.
Committee Discussion
Vinson: What has happened is the roof overhangs into the easement by a few inches. They
need to get a variance for the part of the overhang that is in the setback.
Perkins: Is that the northeast comer of the garage? It's not the entire --
Vinson: No. It is not the entire face of the garage.
Conklin: If you look at the survey, it shows how much of the overhang is encroaching into
the setback. Staff does recommend approval. Removing that section of the overhang would not
improve the looks of the house. It doesn't harm anybody.
Public Comment
None
MOTION
Mr. Nickle made a motion to approve BA99-4.
Mr. Hanna seconded the motion.

BA99-3: VARIANCE
SIXTH STREET DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, pp484
This item was submitted by Richard Alexander of Sixth Street Development Company, L.L.C.
for property located at 339 Rollston Avenue. The property is zoned R -O, Residential Office, and
contains approximately 0.13 acres. Reconsideration of the condition of approval to build
sidewalks along Rollston Avenue and Campbell Avenue.
Committee Discussion
Conklin: I bring this back to the Board of Adjustment to talk about the condition of
approval for sidewalk along Rollston which was placed on the variance. After that meeting, the
Sidewalk and Trails Coordinator was contacted by the applicant and they went out there and
looked at it. The Coordinator recommended for no sidewalk Because that was a condition of
approval, I asked that they come back before you. I feel more comfortable with this Board
removing that condition. We do support the sidewalk waiver request.
Orton: Isn't there already a sidewalk down one side of the street?
Conklin: There are sidewalks on both Campbell and Rollston on opposite sides of this lot.
Perkins: That was for a residence?
Conklin: They are going to the Planning Commission on May 10 for a shared parking
agreement with UBC. We have also signed off on a building permit for an office They have
agreed to put the screening in between the commercial and residential uses. They have
redesigned the bathroom and built the ADA ramp from the back to the front of the house.
