Bob Chamberlin, applicant, was present and informed the Commission of his plans and gave his reasons .for the need for the variance. He indicated due to the previous dedication of right-of-way for Road 21, that he had to refrain from utilizing all of his land because of a need of an additional thirty foot right- of-way for the proposed Road 21. Because of this, it was necessary for him to request a five foot variance from the required set back on the north side of his property so as to build a building to accommodate his business. The Chairman then asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the proposed variance. Mr. Hugh Osborne representing the College View Baptist Church asked the Board of Adjustment whether or not they were considering the effects of the proposed building on their future church development, and did Mr. Chamberlin intend to dedicate the additional right-of-way at this time. The Chairman indicated that the effect of the variance would certainly be weighted as to the type of effect it ;could have on surrounding property values. He also stated that the Board of Adjustment, at this time was not considering whether or not Mr. Chamberlin should or should not dedicate additional right-of-way at this time, but merely with the problem of whether or not to grant him a variance to allow him to construct his building. Also, in the audience were John Wheeler, Tom Thompson, and Al Holman, all representing the College View Baptist Church. The Public Hearing was closed. After considerable discussion, it was moved by Fr. W lliams and seconded by iir. Hunt to approve the variance. Roll call vote was called for, Anderson, yes; Hunt, yes; Williams, yes.

COYTIMTATIO?T OF PU_3LIC HE,iRIYC, - PEFCE VARIANCE File Yo. 67-19 The meeting was called to order as a continuation of the Public Hearing held by the Board of Adjustment on Fay 23 . 1967 to consider a variance request submitted by 'Mark Pence concerning the extension of the roof or eave line 8 feet into the front yard. The Chairman asked the Secretary to read the interpretation of those sections of the Zoning Ordinance as requested by the Board of Adjustment at the last meeting concerning front .yard set backs, open space, and open beam extension. (Copv of interpretation filed with the application. ) Also, a report was made to the 9oard of Adjustment concerning the existing overhang of all buildings on Octave Street between Meridian. Street and Illinois Street. Nark Pence, applicant, was present and submitted a list of names of residents in the area who stated they were not opposed to the granting of the variance or the allowing of the ex- tension of the roof over the front yard area. The Commission discussed the matter at great lengths. applying the granting or the not granting of the variance against the requirements as set forth in the Zoning Ordinance concerning the granting or denying of any variance. A portion of that discussion covered the phase of the Ordinance concerning whether or not the granting of this variance would be allowing a special privilege to Mr. Pence not enjoyed by others in the area. The finding was that there was nothing special in terms of size, shape, topography, etc., about the lot Yr. Pence was building on, when compared to other lots in the vicinity. Therefore, the Board felt that by granting the variance as re- quested, the:; would be granting in essence a special privilege to 1!r. Pence. The Commission .also felt, however, that the allowing of the variance would not he injurious or detrimental to the surrounding property owners as the house and said extension would in all likelihood be attractive. At that point, a motion was made by Mr. +dilliams and seconded by Mr. Hunt to deny the variance as requested, but grant a variance up to a maximum distance of one foot, nine inches beyond the allowed extension for the covered portion of the roof, and the additional exten- sion of the uncovered beams as shown on the attached diagram.
