Item No. 1 - NEW MATTERS
Case Number:
Z-2926-A
Applicant:
Coulson Oil Company
Location:
8100 West Markham
Description:
Long legal
Present Classification:
"A" One -family District
Variance:
Requests a variance from the front
yard provisions of Sec. 43-12(4)
of the Code of Ordinances to permit
encroachment of canopy into front
yard setback
Requests permission under the pro-
visions of Sec. 43-22(4)(b) of the
Code of Ordinances to permit
expansion of a nonconforming use
BOARD OF ADTUSTMENT ACTION: THE BOARD VOTED TO APPROVE THE
REQUEST AS RECOMMENDED BY THE STAFF. (3 ayes - 0 noes - 2
absent)
Staff Recommendation: This item is referred to the Board by
the Planning Commission as a result of a rezoning application.
The applicant proposed to rezone this long standing noncon-
forming service station in order to expand its retail operation
to car wash, grocery, etc. The staff recommended the Board of
Adjustment route in order to allow the applicant the flexi-
bility he needs in development and at the same time not extend
the commercial zoning further east along Markham Street. The
staff would recommend approval of the proposed 15' x 28' wash
bay as an expansion of this nonconforming use. We further
recommend approval of the canopy subject to it not being closer
than 13' from the front property line. This would necessitate
either moving the canopy structure nine additional feet to the
north or eliminating that 9 ft. of overhang between the pump
island and Markham Street.
There were no objectors present. The owner was present and
represented by Barry Church, Attorney.

Addition
Present Classification: "A" One -family District
Variance: Requests a variance from the rear
yard provisions of Section 43-12(2)
of the Code of Ordinances to permit
encroachment into rear yard set-
back
Requests permission under the
provisions of Sec. 43-22(4)(b)
of the Code of Ordinances to
permit expansion of a noncon-
forming structure
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: THE BOARD VOTED TO APPROVE THE
REQUEST AS FILED. (3 ayes - 0 noes - 2 absent)
Staff Recommendation: The staff feels that the proposed addi-
tion will have no effect on.adjacent properties. The existing
structure is nonconforming due to the rear yard relationship
and this request will not increase that nonconformity. We
recommend approval as submitted.
There were no objectors present.

Ray Hurt
4600 Sunny Hill Court
Description: Lot 2, Seals Subdivision
Present Classification: "A" One -family District
Variance: Requests a variance from the
rear yard provisions of
Sec. 43-12 (2) of the Code of
Ordinances to permit encroach-
ment into rear yard setback
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: THE BOARD VOTED TO APPROVE
THE REQUEST AS FILED. (3 ayes - 0 noes - 2 absent)
Staff Recommendation: The staff recommends approval as
requested as there is sufficient separation between
structures to allow this addition. In most corner lot
developments the structure involved shares two side yard
relationships. We do not see this as being a significant
problem.
There were no objectors present.
The owner was present.

Item No. 4 - NEW MATTERS
Case Number: Z-2938
Applicant: Ms. John Parker
Location: #18 Avon Place
Description: Lot 18, Parkway Addition
Variance: Requests a variance from the
side yard provisions of Sec.
43-12(3) of the Code of Ordi-
nances to permit encroachment
into side yard setback
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: THE BOARD VOTED TO DENY THE
REQUEST AS FILED AND APPROVED A 5 FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK
ON THE NORTH. (3 ayes - 0 noes - 2 absent)
Staff Recommendation: The staff recommends approval of the
addition to the west as it will not significantly increase
the nonconformity of the south side yard setback but
recommends denial of any encroachment into the north side
yard setback. We feel that if the required 6 ft. setback
were provided on the north side the remaining 14'-6" would
be adequate for a carport or garage. If additional spaces
are desired we recommend placing them in the rear yard.
There were no objectors present.
The applicant was present.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned
at 2:25 p.m.
