Mr. Trammell called the meeting to order at 8:15 P.M. He
announced that the purpose of the meeting was to consider
the appeal of Scottie Sutton for a building permit on his
land described as Tracts 3B1A and 3B1E in the John Childress
' Survey, Abstract 254, said permit having been denied him by-
cause the size of the planned house was too large (960 square
feet) to qualify for a guest house, thereby exceeding the
allowed limitation by more than 300 square feet, and further-
more, wanting placement of same in front of the main residence
instead of to the rear. Discussion followed. The City
Attorney advised that under existing conditions, i.e., unusual
topography, the granting of a variance might well stand. Mr.
Trammell then requested Mr. Sutton to comply with setback
lines, sideyards, as per Ordinance No. 161, Ag District, file
a site plan and build exactly in accordance with same. Mr.
Sutton said he would do so. Discussion was then had on the
matter of use wherein Mr. Trammell advised Mr. Sutton that in
no way was there to be permanent residency in such a house, to
which Mr. Sutton agreed. (The land consists of .64 acres.)
WHEREUPON, Mr. Casey moved that a building permit be granted to
John S. (Scottie) Sutton on the condition that he comply to the
setbacks, and sideyards as called for in Ordinance No. 161, file
a site plan, with the stipulation that no one live in the build-
ing longer than three (3) months at a time; seconded by Bill Long.
The-motion passed unanimously.
Thera being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
