Gary Holtman of 722 S Church St, in favor. Stated he is in favor of allowing a pool house to be built not a residence. Henry Betke of 721 S Church St, in favor. Stated he was in support of the variance. Barbara Francis of 103 E Brame St, in favor. Stated that in the past 46 years there has been two structures removed from that lot so she is not opposed to Mr. Sims replacing one. Larry Walker, board member, clarifies that there is actually a pool house going there and not a single-family residence to which Roger Colson replies that the original structure that was proposed was a pool house with living quarters, otherwise known as an accessory residential dwelling unit. This structure exceeded the maximum size requirement to be considered an accessory structure. In order to keep the desired size of the structure the applicant was required to separate the lots. Sims and Rebecca Norment, property owners, state that by granting the variance they would be allowed to have separate electricity and gas to the pool house. Rebecca also explains that the living quarters in the pool house were included to accommodate her since she had previously had surgery and was unable to go up and down the stairs in her home where all of the bedrooms were located. No one else spoke in favor or opposition. Public hearing was declared closed. Motion was made by Larry Walker, seconded by Jerry Haning to approve the variance to Section 9-301 of the Zoning Area Regulations required lot depth of 100' to 81.47'. Motion carried 4:0. 6.
