Agenda Item # 5 continued,
Public Hearing.
David Barksdale, owner/applicant was present and said his intent was to build a detached
garage in the rear yard of his single-family house. The City issued a building permit to begin
construction. At this point materials were purchased and preparation for the foundation
commenced. Soon after, a neighbor made an inquiry to Code Enforcement about the location
of the garage. The garage's location meets the ordinance requirements. Upon further scrunity
the height and square footage violation to the ordinance were discovered and construction was
halted.
Skip Vandergrifft, City Plans Examiner, was present and verified the issuing of the permit.
Searching the records Mr.Vandergrifft said he found the height and square footage violation
and called Mr. Barksdale with his findings. Mr.Vandergrifft suggested Mr.Barksdale see
Karen Gandy to request a Variance.
There was no other person wishing to speak either in favor or in opposition of the request.
Public Hearing Closed.
The findings were stated by Mr. Sorenson.
The requirements of Section 34.2(e) have been met by the applicant, that the reason set forth
in the application justify the granting of the variance. The variance is the minimum variance
that will make possible the reasonable us of the land, building or structure and that the
granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning
ordinance and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental the public

Pursuant to the findings set forth in this case, a motion was made to Grant ZBA Case # 291 a
variance to Ordinance No. 480 Section 34.2(e) as requested.
