Motion carried 5-0 once. 5. Public hearing to consider and take action on the petition of Patricia Adams on Lot 19, Block 2 of Town North Estates, being located at 2910 Ridgeview Rd. The petition requests a variance of Section 9-502 (2) of the Zoning Ordinance which provides as follows: 9-502 SPECIAL FRONT YARD REGULATIONS: 2. "Where a building line has been established by plat or ordinance and such line requires a greater or lesser front yard setback than is prescribed by this ordinance for the district in which the building line is located, the required front yard shall comply with the building line so established by such ordinance or plat." The applicant is proposing to construct a detached carport in the area defined as the front yard at 2910 Ridgeview Road. The survey plat of the subject property, called Town North Estates Part 2 Final Plat, provides a 30 foot setback to the building line along Ridgeview Road. The proposed carport will extend 21 foot into the setback. The applicant is requesting a variance of 21 foot to construct the carport. Public hearing was declared open. Tommy Harris resides at 2850 Ridgeview Rd, and spoke against the petition, as he lives directly next door to the subject property and doesn't believe a carport would be fitting for the area. Bruce McMonigle resides at 2835 Ridgeview Rd, and spoke against the petition. He has lived at this residence for 40 years and stated that there was a deed restriction on the home about carports because it could potentially depreciate the value of the home. Sherry Washington resides at 2845 Ridgeview Rd. and spoke against the petition. She stated that a carport could potentially be used for storage, and disapproves. Carla Easton, City Engineer, spoke against the petition as it would not be consistent with the integrity of the neighborhood and recommends the petition is denied. Public hearing was closed.
