F.D. Mallory, III, Chairman <br />2. Spencer Abbett <br />3. Bill Lightfoot <br />4. John Williams, Jr. <br />Also present was Joe N. McCollum, Director of Community Development for the <br />city. <br />Chairman Mallory called the meeting to order and opened the public hearing <br />on the petition of John S. House for a variance to Section 9 -401 (2) and <br />Section 10 -102 of the Zoning Ordinance on Lot 18, City Block 33 -C located <br />at 1625 Lamar Avenue. <br />Mr. House outlined his need for additional storage space at his business <br />and presented pictures and a Site plan of his lot showing a proposed building <br />expansion which would exceed allowed lot coverage and reduce the amount of <br />off street parking. <br />Mr. McCollum advised the Board that the proposal placed the building 938 <br />sq.ft. over the 40% lot coverage requirement and reduced off street parking <br />to 20 spaces or 6 less than would be required for that size building. <br />Ron Billman, a property owner nearby, spoke in support of the request saying <br />that the proposed addition would improve the area. <br />No one else spoke and the public hearing was closed. <br />Mr. Williams stated he saw no objection. Mr. Abbett said it would be better <br />to go two story construction and retain the parking. Mr. Lightfoot felt the <br />variance would be ok if the rear 10 feet were landscaped and maintained. <br />Following discussion Mr. Abbett made a motion to approve the exceptions as <br />parking demand is not as great for an appliance store. Mr. Williams seconded <br />the motion which carried 4 ayes, 0 nays. <br />There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. <br />oe N. McCollum <br />ecretary ex- officio <br />
