F.D. Mallory III - Chairman <br />2. Spencer Abbett <br />3. Bill Lightfoot <br />4. Richard Nafe <br />Chairman Mallory called the meeting to order and welcomed Mr. Abbett <br />and Mr. Lightfoot as newly appointed members of the Board and re- <br />quested documentation relatives to terms of appointments for the <br />other members of the Board. <br />The Minutes of the last meeting were approved as presented. <br />Chairman Mallory declared the hearing open on the appeal of J,B, <br />Fodge for a variance to Section 9-201 (1) of the City of Paris <br />Zoning Ordinance on Lot 28, City Block 222 -A located at 2140 E. <br />Price Street. <br />Joe McCollum, Director of Community Development, explained to the <br />Board that Mr. Fodge had requested a permit to place an additional <br />residence on his property but was denied the permit because only <br />one house is permitted per lot. <br />Mr. Fodge proposes to divide his property into two lots but has <br />insufficient frontage along Price Street (113 feet) to provide <br />for two 60' wide lots as required by the Ordinance. The variance <br />requested is to allow the platting of a 53' x 150' lot for the <br />existing house and a 60' x 150' lot for the proposed house. <br />Mr. Fodge told the Board he wanted to reduce the amount of yard <br />area to maintain and that the houses were of such a size that <br />there is ample room to meet all the set back requirements. <br />Mr. McCollum advised the Board that the proposed lots meet all <br />requirements except width. <br />There was no one present in objection to the request and following <br />discussion, Mr. Abbett made a motion to approve the variance to <br />the lot width. Mr. Nafe seconded the motion which carried unanimously. <br />With no further business to consider the meeting was adjourned. <br />n� <br />e N. McCollum <br />Secretary ex- officio <br />
