All in favor? And then this application that's coming up next, it was approved I think in 2022. They pulled a permit, never started construction. So this exact same plan is coming back. Some of y'all were here at the time, but it was already exact same thing. I just told him applications now it's already it was already approved in 2022 or 2023 just expired so that's why it's back

A six foot resulting in a set back 19 ft set back to the front yard and a variance of 10 resulting in a 10ft set back to the rear yard to complete proposed renovations. The property located 306 North Street parcel 149F-029-12900 25B. Um, it's the Carol subdivision zone R2 multifamily. We don't have anybody speaking.

Is there anybody here for the public hearing to speak for the project? I didn't Y'all want to say quickly or just this is already we've already so there's nothingbody anybody have any questions for commissioners or if there's any comments from the crowd speaks I'm going go ahead and enter the motion.

I'll move it moves. Second by Romano. All in favor? I. Motion passes. Please be at the council meeting. It's going to be Tuesday, September 16th, 5:30. Yes, ma'am. You'll have to be there for the council. Again, we're just a recommending board in case they have any questions. And they'll come see you. I mean, you come see them. That's Tuesday, September 16, 5:30. Next Tuesday. Yeah.

Yes. All right. The next one is that right ballet. Okay. Application for variance to the zoning ordinance submitted by Ben and Kelly Valet. The applicants are requesting a variance of six foot resulting in a twoft setback to a sideyard uh to construct an attached carport. The property is located at 107 Carol Avenue, parcel 149-0-29-019.0000. The legal description is 4 East Carol subdivision. Property is zone R1 single single family residential district. All right. And then just for this one, u Mr. Kennymani here, which is contractor, but um currently if you go look at the house currently being renovated, there is a carport currently that's on the side of the house that that's what they're going to remove. Currently, the carport I think is either is either on the property line or might be on the neighbor's property a tiny bit. So So they're tearing that down

to move it over, but since they tore it down, they need the variance to put it back, but But okay, but they would need the variance in order for them to actually impact there. So, it's going to be less egregious. Kenny, you want to come up here? You got to state your name and your address. Thank you, sir. My name is Kenny Monty. I'm represent.

Yes. I live in place. Basically, uh the existing structure that's there, we're trying to salvage it. However, it is not sound. It's uh it could fall in. We've got it braced up and it really looks in bad shape. So, we talked to the neighbor Ferguson, the immediate neighborhood over it. So we uh got documents done short or so if gutters are necessary whatever we need to do to make it go do it current roof structure does rain on it right it's got positive on site Our problem make sure there's no anybody here to speak against or for nobody was signed Okay, I'm asking for movement. We got movement by Mr. AG, second by Mr. Romano. All in favor?

I know what time I'll let you know. Okay, this is one. You go ahead. You want to explain this to everybody? The one here now, Mr. Miles.

So, this one started last year. This site started last year. Um there was a site plan approved or site plan that was submitted for retail on the bottom four hotel rooms on top. Um though the site they needed a variance for that project. So the site plan kind of became a mute point because there wasn't wasn't a variance granted for the parking which is required in this district for a hotel. Um the applicants came back and they a for major site plan review for a fourstory bar, tavern, nightclub, lounge. That is the category in our charter use that this far falls under. It's not going to be a restaurant. Um they want to they could probably expain more of their theory, but it's going to be more of an entertainment thing and entertainment. So, this is kind of where it falls and it's not necessarily going to be just a bar. Um but it's going to be a fourstory building that's going to be under 50 feet in height, which Um that's kind of that's that's the t um that's what's illegally allowed 100% lot coverage essentially. I think there's a little bit wiggle room but which is allowed in this district. So, what they did is they're you they're taking allowed use by right that does not require any parking and um because they they realize the applicants realized that was the biggest contingency was going across that sidewalk. Um and found to use that we're going to so um public works looked at that. Um, a lot of that stuff that's required is going to be in the construction documents. You back folk vendor but um and um building official looked at it though it's not construction documents that's where it's going to be passed what everything looked fine I was fine with

it and um the original plan that they submitted they had some fire department concern or safety concerns which the uh design professional address. Um so so what they submitted um fulfills everything we need to um that had to review it. Every box was checked off. So once the site plan gets approved which we recommend for approval because everything was allowed by right moves to city council for their approval too. And then after that then y'all gonna be done with it because all that's going to be left are the actual construction documents come before and then they can start their project. But they've they've addressed the I don't even know what um

they've done all the drainage. They've done they know where their dumpster is going to go. They know where everything complete facade. So

and let me I forgot. Let me read this please for the record. Okay. Um, this is Corbett Nikcoy LLC application for the major site plan review for the fourstory bar, tavern, nightclub, and lounge. The property in question is located 105 North Beach Boulevard. It is identified on Hancock County land rolls as parcel number 149L-29-03500. The legal description as is 510 First W St. and parcel number 149 L-29-036.0000 0. The legal description point uh part of that parcels 510 at 510 is first ward base. Louis the property is zone C1 central business district.

Oh yeah, Mississippi.

Our original plan was a original plan was a hotel in front of y'all. We have now gone back to some of the council members. We're going to go with um it'll be three floors of arcade games for down here. Nothing for kids to really do in the area. Um so it'll be three floors arcade and then up there will be a bar, but it's going to be more for um venue face. Um and about 50 arcade games rental

and know that it states on the application just so it's for the This is the loud use. So, we already talked about it's not a restaurant because sometimes you have to have grease traps and everything else that's not on the plans because there's if there's any food is basically going to be, you know, Yes. like

on the top there'll be windows on the south side

went through the full city ordinance to meet all the requirements of the and the international building. We addressed some initial comments and then there had one a long time ago. Anybody to speak for. Yes, ma'am.

Warner, I'm just interested what's the capacity in terms of how many people can you put in there? We're talking three floors. Is the bottom open? Just kind of like to know. It's four floors. So, the bottom will be open air kind of like couses is and then go up, you know. And Miss Miss Warner, whenever you say capacity,

we won't we won't have this until we actually have the floor plans because that has to do with fixed seating and there's going to be a formula where we have to the actual layout of the and tables. It's going to be that's what goes into the formula for how many people can be in there. And then the top floor is the bar. Yes. Do we have any?

No, they gave a mockup one, but I'll tell you, they put two stairwell exits instead of one where we thought that they might have one and they just went went ahead and did two just in case that capacity number is larger than they thought it was going to be for safety reasons. a capacity right now with tables and chairs that fit. Well, that's that's what they put. But at the end of the day, what he says doesn't matter. It's what Mr. Strong says. Excuse me. You're talking about old bill. Yeah. Okay.
