VARIANCE REQUEST: Gloria Anderson
The City Council acting as a Board of Adjustment, considered
a request by Mrs. Gloria Anderson for a variance in order to
construct a home with 70.3' at the building setback line,
whereas 100' is required. The home could be placed back on
the lot and meet the Zoning Setback requirements, however,
this would place the home closer to the Lake, and would not
conform to the City's flood regulations. City Manager Forbes
also explained that a variance was necessary since the Zoning
Ordinance states that no parcel, even if it consists of one
or more lots can be reduced in size so that the lot width
or other requirements of the zoning ordinance are not met.
Gretchen Sheeter appeared before the Council in opposition
to the variance, saying she and her husband bought adjoining
property with the understanding the Anderson property was one
80-74 lot for one home and not to be divided. Council discussed the
fact that this lot was conforming at the time it was platted and
is similar to other lots in this subdivision. Motion was made by
Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Cole & unanimously granted.
Cooper Memorial Library - Nick Jones
Mr. Nick Jones appeared before the Council explaining and pre-
senting a construction outline for proposed renovations of the
new Cooper Memorial Library. He stated it would be approximate-
ly 2 or 3 months before the Library would be ready for function-
al occupancy with the interior having first priority.
