Next Chairman Mallory declared the public hearing open on the appeal of <br />Gladys Bell for a variance to Section 9 -601 (1) of the City of Paris Zoning <br />Ordinance on Lot 7, City Block 51 located at 920 Dickson Avenue. <br />Mrs. Bell told the Board of her desire to build an open carport on the west <br />side of her house over an existing concrete driveway. She said she could not <br />build the carport if she had to set it back 5 feet from the property line. <br />She asked to be allowed to place it 1 foot from her west line stating that a <br />gutter would be installed to prevent water from draining onto her neighbors <br />lot. <br />Mr. McCollum presented a photo indicating the proposed location of the car- <br />port and advised the Board that there are several garages and storage build- <br />ings on the property line in this block. <br />Bessie Nowell, 934 Dickson, stated she did not object to the carport but <br />brought up the fact that there is a dispute over the property line between <br />her and Mrs. Bell. She did not want part of the carport to be on her pro- <br />perty. <br />The Board advised Mrs. Nowell that they were not capable of settling the <br />property line dispute. <br />No one else was present to speak on the matter and the public hearing was <br />closed. <br />Discussion followed and the consensus of opinion was that the proposed <br />carport would not damage the area. Mr. Abbott made a motion to allow the <br />variance. Mr. Wallace seconded the motion which carried 5 ayes, and 0 nays. <br />With no further business to consider, the meeting was adjourned. <br />n' <br />e N.
