Charles and Nancy Burton of 415 NE 32 Id St, in favor. <br />Lydia Caudle of 620 SE 17th St, in opposition. <br />Bill Bell of 2054 Cleveland, spoke in opposition of these variances stating that this area has a lot <br />of drainage issues and believes the additional houses should not be built until drainage is <br />addressed. <br />Bill Goodrum of 233 CR 34954, stated with the new development of the lots it would encourage <br />the Public Works to address the issues more when there are people living in the area versus it <br />remaining vacant. <br />Charles Burton of 415 NE 32nd St, spoke in favor of the requests. Mr. Burton stated that he owns <br />a majority of the property in that area and has no issue with more of it being developed. <br />No one else spoke in favor or opposition of the request. <br />Public hearing was declared closed. <br />Motion was made by Chris Fitzgerald, seconded by Larry Walker to approve all variances 1-5 to <br />the Area Regulations to allow the addition to an existing garage to convert it to a single-family <br />home based on the following staff recommended findings. Motion carried 4-1 with RuthAnn <br />Alsobrook as the dissenting vote. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDED FINDINGS <br />The approval is based upon the following staff recommended findings of fact: <br />1. The request for variance is harmony with the general purposes and intent of Zoning <br />Ordinance No. 1710, as amended, and will not negatively impact the protection for the <br />adjacent surrounding property, provided there is no parking or driveway allowed along <br />Brame Street. <br />2. The request is to permit the new construction of residences which is not applicable with <br />regard to a non -conforming use. Duplexes and single-family residences are permitted by <br />right in the 2F District. <br />3. There are special or unique conditions of restricted area for the lots as a result of the prior <br />land division lot depth off of 16th Street. This is not generally applicable to other parcels of <br />land in the same zoning district under new platting and development standards. This has <br />caused an unusual and practical difficulty to be in compliance with the provisions sought <br />here to be varied as a result of the new plat approval required for a building permit and <br />making it impossible to meet the lot depth requirements and front yard setback on the <br />exterior side lot area. <br />
