Item No. 1 - Z-3899-A
Owner: Ray and Nancy Richardson
Address: 7410 Stagecoach Road
Description: Long legal.
Zoned: "R-2" Single Family
Variance
Requested: Relief from Section 5-101-C to permit
expansion of an existing nonconforming
use.
Present Use of
Property: Industrial
Proposed Use of
Property: Same
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This applicant recently filed an application to rezone this
property from "R-2" Single Family to "1-211 Light Industrial.
The area is shown on the Suburban Development Plan for
continued single family use. The Planning Commission,
agreeing with staff, felt that the property should not be
zoned for industrial use, but it also felt that
Mr. Richardson has a legitimate hardship situation In this
case.
This business has been in this location for five years and
the property was annexed after considerable investment had
been made on the property. The owner plans to make two
additions: (1) an addition to the office to house computer
equipment and (2) a new storage facility on the far north
end of the site. In fact, until the referendum on
November 2, the site of the new storage building was out of
the city limits. The annexation accomplished by the
referendum will not be final until December 3 and appears
headed for litigation which might lengthen this process
considerably.
Staff recommends approval of the expansion as proposed.
BOARD ACTION:
The applicant was present, and there were no objectors.
After a brief discussion, the Board moved to approve the
expansion of the nonconforming use as suggested by Staff.
The motion passed: 5 ayes, 8 noes and 2 absent.
Item No. 2 - Z-2731-A
Owner: Ozark Outdoor Supply
By: Gerald Rogers
Address: 5514 Kavanaugh Blvd.
Description: Lot 11, Block 22, Newton Addition

Variance
Requested: Relief from Section 7-103.3d to permit
an encroachment into the front yard for
decks.
Present Use of
Property: Commercial
Proposed Use of
Property: Same
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Ozark Outdoor Supply has been located on this site for about
10 years and has been permitted to use the front yard space
for outdoor demonstration and display space for tents,
canoes, and other merchandise since the beginning. Whether
through neglect or through prior policy decision, the
outside display has been permitted to continue. There has
been some talk of now, softie three years after adoption of
the new Zoning Ordinance, requiring a zoning change to "C-411
Open Display. Staff is convinced that now is not the time
to begin enforcement of this matter.
The applicant with this application is attempting to improve
the appearance of the property with the addition of a deck
arrangement to provide a better functioning area. Staff
recommends approval.
The applicant was present, and there were no objectors.
After a brief discussion, the Board moved to approve the
application as filed, with the provision that no future
enclosure of the deck area take place. The motion passed:
5 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.

Item No. 3 - Z-3916
Owner: Lloyd Robertson
Address: 6405 West Markham Street
Description: Lots 31 and 32, Plaza Terrace Addition
Zoned: "R-2" Single Family
Variance
Requested: Relief from Section 7-101.2d to permit
an 8' rear yard encroachment.
Present Use of
Property: Vacant
Proposed Use of
Property: Single Family
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This is a vacant lot which is proposed for new development.
The lot is relatively shallow by modern standards, being
only 1281 in depth. The relationship of this property to
Markham and McKinley Streets and the traffic around this
intersection makes a circular drive in the front yard
desirable. The excessive front setback which is
necessitated by this drive serves as a justification for the
variance sought.
Theapplicant was present, and there were no objectors.
After a brief discussion, the Board moved to approve the
application as filed. The notion passed: 5 ayes, 0 noes
and 2 absent.

provide the justification for this zoning variance. Staff

Variance
Requested: Relief from Section 7-104.2e to permit
a 3' side yard for a building addition.

other properties and feels that reasonable hardship does
exist in that previously the industrial districts did not
require any yard setbacks at all.
Staff recommends approval.

application as filed, with the provision that the applicant
