Board of Zoning Appeals - Regular Meeting
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance request for Katherine Ring to place a double-wide trailer on her property, despite a barn being in front of the proposed location, due to an electrical easement. A second variance request from Sarah Banks regarding a 50-foot access requirement for a shared private road was initially tabled for more information on ownership and easements but was later approved after documentation was provided. A third request from Brent Rose to subdivide his property for his brother was also approved.

Um, first item on the agenda, the variance request, uh, 285 Shipley Road. Miss Ring.
Okay. If you would, you go down there to the chair and tell us what you need. Um, I have decided that I can put my trailer. It's a double wide trailer. Um, is about The only place I can put it, everything else is being farmed. And u So is that it, Kendall? Right there in front of the pond. Yeah, I think right in this area in front of the pond. And the barn is up there on the road. You see?
And I think the reason you you need a variance is because there's a barn in front of your where you want to put it. Correct. That's what it we decided. I mean, it's actually beside it, but and that was something in the codes that you can get a variance for, but you just have to make this extra step. And that's what we're doing tonight. Okay. Um, and by codes, she has to be in front of the building, correct? Yes, by codes. I think it says within 10 feet in front of minimal.
So, can you come out and get 10 feet in front of that barn? Can you set your trailer at least 10 feet in front of it? And you you can set it in front of it or can you set is it going to be behind it? It's going to be Well, that's that's kind of what that's what other than that show. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. That's why we need to That's this is a RV sitting right here. Okay. This is a shed right here. Well, it's going to be right here. Okay. And that that's a driveway up above that, correct? Yes. Will you be using that driveway? Yes. Okay. And the road is to the left, correct? Shipley. Shipley Road.
Okay. And is what's that at the bottom? What road is that? A driveway. Okay. But because the road is to the left to the left and the house is going to be set behind the barn. That's where she needs the variance from my understanding. Yeah. So by code it's called to be in the front but she's going to put it in the back because that's a rest of that's being farmed. Yes. Any perks and everything? Yeah. Okay. And city water.
Yeah. Yes ma'am. Okay. Anybody here to oppose that? Talk talk uh need public comments or anything? Y'all have any more questions? Um, so if we granted it, it would be on the uh number three, I think. D3.

Moving on to the next uh item on the agenda. Variance request 50 foot access requirement Scenic Road Adam or Sarah Banks. Yes. Okay. Am I picking out the right spot of land there? Yes. Okay. Point. Yeah. 09. State your name, please. That That way I Sarah Banks. Sarah Banks. Yes, sir. And hang on one sec, ma'am. What was your name? Katherine Ring. Okay.
Okay. Let me get get to yours. All right. What What would you like to present? Yes. So, we are just wanting to share an easement to be able to get back to our property to build a home. Share it with who? We're sharing. There's seven parcels and we're needing to be able to drive on the road to get back to our property. So, I think I put in my notes that we're crossing the parcels, but we're just like sharing the easement instead of crossing. Do you know when this was developed or when it was divided? No. First house was built in 1977. Okay. So, the easements's been there since 1977.
Some of them. First one. Well, I mean, this one here, the roadway easement is what I was Okay. So, is there already a driveway or a road there? There's a road. Mhm. Yep. Looks like it right there. Yep. It goes through the woods a little bit. Yep. And then we went up and cleared that. So all those seven properties already share. Correct. Okay. So you found a lot at the end. Yes. Okay.
The county m happily maintain that road or No, it's road. It's a private drive. It's private. Okay. Who does own the road? How wide is the road? How wide's the ement? The east 50. The ement is 50 ft. But the road itself is paved up to two blocks down. the end and it's about 12 and a half wide.
Okay. Do they use it for the pump station or pardon? Do they use it for the pump station or anything? They didn't know they owned it until years ago. Yeah. And we've we've t we've spoke with Tele utilities about the that road. We have full. Mhm. I'm just amazed that they own it. Yeah. We're very surprised. Well, there's a lot of utilities that are surprised of what they do own that was granted back many years ago. I guess TVA gave it to them. They would have had to have. Yeah.
What where y'all know where Scic Road is? Where where is it? House runs off by Monry Dam. Not far. Yeah, it's right by the dam. Okay. Okay. Scenic is one that goes up the hill, cuts over to Oh, what's the name of the other road? Lake View. South side of the lake about halfway between the dam and Burton. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I'm just not on that road much. So, that's pretty. Thornberg. Thornberg. That's what I think of. Yes.
Thornberry. That's where Mr. Carter is. So, the easement would be because it's not a public road,
correct? Yes. And only one principal building on the lot. I'm trying to understand how we could use a variance of an easement on somebody else's easement. We do this on Saddlers. Yep. Yes. Yes, I was told because they went down on the uh Riley Creek side. They're on the other side of the lake and uh and it's a private road. I don't remember which variance we used. I think she's pulled one here. I think it is 1080. So 1080
CC CCR didn't say which um which one four. Yeah. Because it's not injurous to the uh neighborhood nor detrimental to the public welfare. So, do y'all plan on paving it sometime future? Yes. Will it be to where a bus and emergency vehicles?
No, I can't go down that anyway. Well, we actually I talked with Cindy and Kurt just the other day and he looked it up and there's 50 feet. So, there's plenty of room. But but whenever you finish there will be enough room for an emergency vehicle to get back. Oh yeah, for sure.
Any other questions for Miss Sarah? Is anyone else here like to talk on this um public comments? Yeah. Okay. What's your What's your name, sir? And I'm Mike Sappington. Mike Sappleton. Yep. I'm in that pies-shaped house, the pies-shaped lot. Okay. In the house. Spell your last name, sir. Sapp Sappington. Sappington. Okay. Sorry.
The only the start of this conversation, I would like to know if the if the board knows when this 50-foot rule was put in place. for the easement for an easement or for Yeah. Well, for the access to get a a building permit.
The reason it 50-foot access for a building permit is put in place is because the county road superintendent cannot take anything that he does not have 50 foot right away to. and the easement, excuse me, the easement. Um, I'm not sure on especially on this easement, but now for a public road, he has to have a 50-foot access. Okay. Well, the question the question is I have no problem with variance. I mean, all the houses up there, four of the h if it has been enacted within the last 18 years,
then four of those houses basically are grandfathered in with a default variance to begin with. So, no sense in in denying anybody else a variance there. Um, so that's that's just the question. It's a it's a relatively new regulation because none of the other houses um face that ever ever faced that problem. So yes, if it was done before zoning was put in was enacted in 19 or 19 93 94 somewhere in there
and it is constantly constantly updated. Okay. So the answer is we don't really know. We don't not looking at the code in front of us to know when it was done. No sir. Okay. But we do have the active codes that are there. We don't have the dates on them. I sure would like to be able to see that online sometime, but Well, yeah. Okay. That's really my only comment. Okay. I've got anybody else? If you would speak to the and state your name, sir. Scott Cunningham. Scott Cunningham. Okay. What would you like to say?
Um, my concern is about the the road itself is it's basically a shared driveway as far as the the condition of it. Um, it's not in the best shape and the reason it's paved now is because the uh the six people on there pitched in together and and and paid to pave it. Um, and so I'm just concerned about the condition of the road with equipment running on it and if there's any plans to um fix it if it if it messes it up or anything like that. I like nice things. Yeah. Make sure any holes happen. Okay. Yeah. But we're we're excited to have new neighbors, too. So, yeah, we'll bring babies.
Yeah, that was my only statement. Okay. TUA. I did want to say TUA if you don't mind if you want to speak. Shannon Cunningham. Shannon Cunningham. Yeah. Um TUA didn't realize I actually called when we moved in to find out who would pave the road at least get on the schedule. When I talked to the superintendent, he said it'd have to be brought up to code, but had it been really given or deed by Gail Gamble to the county, it would have been grandfathered in. So we're trying to see why the co why the county won't go ahead and take it. So TUA has been having meetings about it,
but he doesn't really want it unless it's brought up to code. Is there a way we can get them to go ahead and grandfather it in so that that would pass where we can get that paved and that would be in between the road superintendent and to UA. How long? How long? Question. Maybe probably not quite half mile. And really, there is pavement there. We just need it repaved. We need somebody to go over it and keep it nice. Well, that would be that's not in this this Yeah. So that was our question is how to do that because
that would be more on Benton Bartlett the road superintendent and that would be in his realm of so if there's any damage to this then it's a private road so you guys are still look for repairing it until that changes did you just pardon me did you just say who was repairing it who They're seeing it. Well, I mean to I guess what if since they're they are not maintaining it, I guess. So you guys are repairing it right now or Yes, we are.
I mean, you're pretty much going to be in the same situation. Yeah, you'll you'll still be in the same situation until you talk to them about it. They tell us they're not in the road business, right? Do they use it for access to anything? Um Um, no. Do they own any property around the waterline? They have the water line. I've got a re. So, they sort of abandoned it and it's No, they didn't know they had it. They didn't know they had it. But do they own any property around it? No, they don't. TVA owns property on TVA. Yes. On the other side,
TUA owns the road. And we're thinking I did talk to Gail Camp is TVA. Okay. Yep. Everything around it. But about the time he gave it to them was about the time they brought the water in. So it was something done. So the water lines are in that road beside that road. Oh, really? So it made it easier for them to get it in there and have one, two, three, multiple tabs down at the end of the road. Yes. Instead of having one and then having have an ement to go across.
Yes. But that was TUA. No, they won't pay. They would not pave it. No, and see it has to be brought up to codes for Benton to take it. Right. Even even in the the subdivision rigs now it's paved with curving. Uh it's just not wide enough. Is there there an example Fairview school road? I don't believe that's code. My sister lives on that road. There's that's not code either. That's equivalent to what we have.
But it it had been tred and chipped before those new regulations went in. They didn't. It's It's a cold mix road. Fairview school road off of Raleigh Creek. Right. Yeah. It's a coal mix road. It's not paved. It was existing county road back in there. I think that was paved. No. Isn't that paved?
Yeah. Coal mix is a little bit better where they go in and it's a binder mix with it and then they put the top dressing of tar and chip on it.
Uh, and I don't think he takes any roads like that anymore. Uh, because of the codes of everything has to be with the curbing and stuff for the subdivisions, roads and stuff. Is there an exception or a way that we can get some some kind of process? I mean, it is kind of a a road that got left behind and there must be a way that we can try to have it received because putting it you could present it to the road commission.
They have a meeting once a month and I can't tell you when. I was going to say next meeting. I'll find it for you. It'll be on the agenda center here. We're in April, right? Yeah. So, they put it the road just for the water caps. They did a lot of things. The people put the put the road in
when the lake came in. They did a lot of crazy things. Um and it was not
Morland Road was put in up above Lake Hills Road because my father-in-law owned the corner of it and then they denied him access. So they put Morland Road in. U Kathy Ridge runs up the hill from Oakill because of my father-in-law. U all right and appeals opioids ambulance this is April I'm looking for May sideways highway commission is May the 6th at 300 p.m. in conference room 1 and May the 6th is the first Wednesday of the month of May. Will they need to get on the agenda before?
I would say so. I don't have my other phone. Think I got it in here. Coffee Road Country Road Department. Her name is Michelle. It's 728 3321. And the reason I have it, I'm over all the buses, so I call potholes in all the time. Okay. We're the pothole patrol. Is that 931?
Yes, ma'am. and you would need to get on their agenda. Any further public comments on this? Any other questions y'all have for them? This is an interesting I've not seen one like this yet. This is interesting. Very interesting. Apparently, apparently it was interesting. Well, we did Kenny Saddler down there off of that subdivision and it was the subdivision was divided there off of P Ridge. I can't remember.
It comes down and it's a private drive. They all have to chip in and pay. This one loops around. That's right. Yeah. But I can't remember what we did. We We agreed we couldn't get a fire truck down there. We agreed we could get an ambulance down there. We can't get a bus down there. I don't think you'll be able to get a fire truck or a bus down in there. Well, I don't know. With 50 foot, you could. That one out there is a gravel drive off of P Ridge. I guess the having the private easement road is what's stumping me a little bit. So, they were given the variance for the properties or the TA or TVA TVA. A lot of their got a lot of their forest grown over. So,
that is true. Nobody cuts it back. Nobody cuts it back. Nobody's going to take Nobody's going to take responsibility for doing it. We maintain it. So, is this is this a TUA easement or a TVA easement? TUA owns the land of this that's what's stumping me here. Okay. The road the pavement was paid by the people who live there. The property that's underneath is TUA. And then on the other side where all those trees that is TVA right tell them utility board owns the land. Yeah. But since they've given up as a kneesment so that's what I I mean they've given up to the residents. Have they deeded that?
It was just It's not been deed to you though. It's still deed in TUA to home. I guess that's what sticking in my mind is the easement to this property is their property. It's an easement to access these plots. Yes. But it's to whoever got the easements to maintain. That's so once they give it up and give you an easement, it's yours. It's your responsibility to maintain it. And that's what I mean. So whatever happens, it's between them seven lots that just because they own the property doesn't mean they're going to maintain or that's what I I'm understanding that they're like when the road ends and our road ends and it goes to the hog barn. I'm responsible for keeping up all that back through there,
right? Or to Lauren's house. Once road and road stops, it's ours. Unless, but I guess the part is different because we're the ement. Yeah. Mhm. Well, yours is an but the easement was granted to each one of those seven lots also though, right? Right. Obviously, it's connected, right? Yeah. And that's the only access that we have to that piece of land that they bought. Yeah. Now you just made you just made a statement about the easement being granted to each of the lots. Not formally. We never use it. It's not in any deed. You just see that's what I'm kind of curious. Well, how do you get How can you get a lot off a loan?
How can you get the How do you get a loan to it for it? You'll have to go back and ask those banks that no thing lending institutions back at the time. didn't question mine was first national but right but you have to have access to it well I guess it's in the through an easement you are access it wasn't owned by TUA back then it was no they didn't take it over till Gail gave it to him well they didn't take it over at all should like table it and get better more information on that well I'm just a little concerned about the legality
yeah this is what I'll do table it to the next meeting Until we understand who owns that. No, you don't have to pay to come back. If I'm tableabling it, you don't have to pay to come back at all until we find out who technically owns that. And Gail gave that to them. That's November 8th of 2018. Okay. A when is Gail? She Gail Gamble gave it way back before that. That's whenever it was the last sold date, the last on the tax card. Okay. There was a because I think they changed there was a quick claim deed
the deed from Gail Gamble to them and it was dated TUA which was TUA here because they accepted it. It's it's like showing them as the owner. So somewhere in their paperwork they'll know when they accepted it. sign off. Kate, did you find the quick lane de anywhere? I'm looking I'm just looking on the tax card. Okay. But I spoke to Jason personally last year at the United Way event and I said, "Hey, I'm fixing to sell this property." He said, "We just found out way that they can do whatever we want. We don't care." Who's Jason? He's the you talked to at home. Yeah. Public authority.
Public authority. He's like, "They can have it. We don't care." He said, "We got to, you know, they just because again, they didn't know they owned it." Also, there's not a paper in place for home utilities saying that. No, there's not. But um it looks like it went from Gail Gamble to the public utility board of city of so it did go to the city of before it went to the in June 20th and 2017 and then uh 18 of 18 it went to again the city of Oklahoma and then the and then the next day they deeded it to the
home utility authority so they owned it for eight years that's just for the right No no no take a look at that that goes back to the original grant the original from gambling I'm just looking at the tax yeah I understand that and but it was 1981 so that's when the water kind of is the when I talked to him personally, Gail's still alive. He said, "Oh, I don't remember, but it was probably so they could put the water in." We're not opposing it. Who's your Who's your water provider? It would have been a lot better if he'd have just gave he would have gave them a easement to put the water line in said, "Here's the road."
Yeah. And they said TUA is their water provider. Yes. But but if they gave TUA an easement to put the water lines in and here's but not give them the road and let the residents or somebody own the road. So TUA has had some meetings from what I understand recently. Um you'd have to ask Mr. Penny that is who's Mr. Penny? Um Jason Penny from TUA CFO. Yeah. I'm going to make a motion to table into the next one so we can get some information about who owns it and is there an easement with it. That way we know what we're doing. Mhm. And it cost them nothing to come back. They don't have to reapply. Oh,
cuz I'm tableabling it. Yeah. Because it we just need more information. If there's legal documentation that TUA has an easement and they're granting y'all the right to use it, I'm good to go. Usually easements have there ought to be some paperwork on it. Well, they have direction on what the easements for. Mhm. That's why Well, and you can't deny them because they're already using it. So, all I want to say is it just says that the use is there for the driveway for for the use of the property that's wanting to be because they're going to have to drive back there. If the water line runs all the way back there, they're going to have to use it to get to their meter. So, we just need a yes from We need We need documentation. Sure. That's that's that's We'll have to wait till next meeting.
Yes. Yes, ma'am. Sorry, we apologize, but it'll be it's just really tricky when you're getting variances for something that's basically for somebody else's easement that we don't have any. Does that make sense? So, we don't feel bad. We don't either. Yeah. We're all in the same boat. Well, that's what I sitting here thinking you guys are in, you know, you need to legally come out and all of you know what you got your legal rights to that land is. But that's why it's been brought up two years ago and it just kind of got put on the back burner and now this is actually bringing it up because it was brought up now they have to address it. You go ahead and give them the variance and they'll be in the same boat we all are. Yeah. Well,
I don't want to do anything legal for Coffee County granting a variance and it and the the well the TUA comes back and decides that that wasn't what they're using. Yeah. That property was give you the right to use that variant their their right away. But it'll only take 30 days. I promise you. I'll I'll vote. I know. I'll vote, but I don't have a second yet. So, motion's been made to table this. Do I have a second? I'll make a second. Second's been made. Any other discussion on the table? Hearing none, we'll proceed to vote. All say favor of tableabling this to the next meeting say I.
I opposed. We moved it to the next meeting and we'll make sure you won't have to pay or anything. So, sorry. It's fine. We apologize. It's just been a long story. I'm going to tell you, it's just been stressful. But if you don't get it right up front, it could cause you could cause you financial hurt, right? Yes. Get back there and then say, "Hey, you can't go back there no more." When's the meeting? You just looked it up. It's the third Thursday of the orth. Yeah. Third Thursday of each month. Same time. Hopefully, we'll be in the other room. One, two, three. Should be the 20th.
Should. But that's it's kind of also our our job here is to make sure we don't run into run you into a problem, too. Right. Which is why this all is designed this way. The idea is to try to help you. We're not listed there. Get reasonable use of your property. We're not. The other thing is we also Oh, it's because if there's no if there's nothing on there, that's our fault, too, for doing that. So, now I'll make sure your dad knows. Oh, yeah. Okay. Cuz we're we we don't have anything on there yet. So, this will be the first thing on the agenda for the next one because if we don't have anything, we don't meet. Yes.
So, do you have a suggestion for direction? get documentation of what you told us of that easement and it grants you the right to get back to that lot and it's not a power line. If you go get a an easement for a power line back to your property, that easement has to say what that easement's for. It can't you can't just you don't just go get an ement that says, "Well, I got an easement." They won't nobody that a reasonable expectation what this ement's for. Oh, yeah. She's going to review. Does she have a copy of her deed? Okay. Maybe it is in I hope it is if Well, I mean, let's see if it's in there.
We had to go through a whole thing with Duck River to make sure that there was a utility ement so I know that it's there, right? Yes. We talked to everybody at Duck River. But see, that's where that's again where we're talking about a utility easement doesn't necessarily mean a driveway access to the property. They just didn't back in the day. Yeah. There's no blanket easement. There's there's used easements. I mean, that's what they're And I'd say when they did that back in there, there were a lot of hurt feelings around that load. Yes. Oh, yes. And they should have emailed you. Well, your father-in-law had a lot of hurt feelings about that farm. So, I don't
Well, we made the motion to table this. If if you find the information, we've got one more item on the agenda. Let's let's do it. And then if y'all y'all find it before we leave, we'll we can bring it back off the table. All right. Next item on the agenda is Lawrence Branch Road A1 Brent Rose. Is someone here? Okay. My voice is going too. Yes, sir. My name's Brent. This is my brother Brad over here. Hang on just a second. Mr. Rose,
if y'all could go out go out the hallway and see if you so we can hear. She's gonna run home and get it. Okay.
Okay. Mr. Rose, what do you have? Okay. Um, my name is Brent. This is my brother Brad back here in the corner. Okay. Uh, I live uh off of Lawrence Branch Road. I already got a trailer there and yard and everything. And my brother was wanting to buy the the bulk of the property for hay and I only need like three three and a half acres which is yard and stuff and he wants to buy the the rest. I know there's like a five acre minimum or something. Yes, sir. But I don't I didn't need that much. Well, now do you own the property? Is was it family property?
Yes. So, it was a family farm and two brothers, excuse me, two brothers want to you want he wants to buy the farm work and you want to buy the house, right? He already owns the house. I already own the house. He just wants to sell him part of his property. Yeah. He owns 30 something. Yeah. But it used to be the whole family. Yes. And it was split. You got part and he got part and you just want to sell him part of your part, right? He wants to keep the cows and and do the hay and all that stuff. And I just I'm older than him and I'm kind of broke down. I can't do as much as he can. So, uh that that's why we wanted to wanted to do that.
This is downtown Gber. That's right. Sure is. Close to where the old store is at. Yes. I know exactly where that is. Gber Church. Mhm. Your goal was to combine. Are you going to combine that? Yeah, because I own all the about 160 acres to the right of it. Then put back together which my mom and dad's original farm. Do you have children? Uh they're grown d I'm married. Yes. So they'll inherit that though one day.
Yeah. I've been leasing from him for eight or 10 years. I don't want to fence it because it's not mine. Understand that's that and this is just one step you got to do. I can show you about where we drew it out. It'd be about three acres about what it would be. And we put a couple And you had it surveyed? No. No. We just put a couple steel posts in to show where you can have it move. Right. Right.
And his phone has a calculator on it showed that it was like what? Three, three and a half or three acres? Three acres, something like that. Anybody else here speak on that? So no matter what, it'll stay in the family. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'll make a motion that we grant it because of D4. It'll be in harmony with the general purpose intent of the resolution. Shall not be injurous to the neighborhood or detrimental to the public welfare. And it keeps a farm
and it also uh our minimum family hardship. family hardship because it is a family that owns it. Um, not going outside the family. The motion's been made to um, grant this. Do I hear a second? I'll make a second. Second's been made. Is there anyone here? We've done ask, but is there anyone here else to speak on this again? Uh any other discussion on this? Seeing none, all in favor say I. I opposed.
It passes. And you just need to uh get with uh Kurt and Cindy tomorrow. One of them here. Yes, sir. And uh they can get every all the per all the paperwork so you can get it surveyed and get it all. Can I go ahead? Can I go ahead and have a survey play? Yes, sir. But if I would call with them and they'll tell you the steps. It won't cost you nothing. It just they'll tell you the steps that um see over here. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You probably won't get on their schedule though because he's Yeah. All the surveyors are booked up over there. He's done several pieces for me from on his agenda to do it.
Okay. That's I told Brad not to go to that expense to renew what Yes, sir. Yeah, it's it's about uh it's $2 or $3,000. I know. How long does she How long would it be before she gets back? Oh, it's not far. She lives in Indian Springs. We also have I do have a copy of their survey that says there is a utility on it. I don't know if that helps. I'm I'm trying. Yeah, I know. I'm like scouring my and it's from a year ago. Will you hand this back? I think she was the one who came back. She does have a copy of her warranty deed that should have the ement in it. I thought that they had an email copy, but I don't get a copy of that.
Yeah, that's that's what I was saying about the warranty deeds. We were talking about the deeds in these places. There should be a warranty de that shows the access because we had to be very specific with the utility ement on it to make sure that they had access for all of their utilities on it. M and everything was I think even even access would be on that. Yeah, access ingress and egress is on here for sure. I mean here's a copy of the it's you know this big for your viewing pleasure. Um can you I can email it. I can either or I think share button right here where it needs to go. Maybe we can get this resolved and that all we need.
Yes sir. Yes sir. Y'all y'all are good to go. Thank you. And you can go out this way or that way. Either one. The coolest way. Thank y'all very much. What I have is um I'm looking real quick because I did a scan. That's why I was like run. We understand. But and I we appreciate your time as well. We're not trying to We don't If we don't get this right, it will be I would rather write. But if we cannot delay them another 30 days, I can't Yeah. Well, I can't send it. This is from Shannon, I think. Yeah, it doesn't show it. You might be able to airdrop it to me. Oh, yeah. That should be Kendall's laptop, I think.
Scale right there on it. I think I'm going to receive for it. That's about to need a fan in this place again. Need to override the Make sure my air drops on hand.
Okay. You should see me pop up. I'm turn to everyone so you can send it to me. But but we would if if she's got a warranty deed, it's got all the paperwork and documentation that she would should and y'all have purchased. When did they purchase the propert and who who was their who was their underwriter? Their underwor
I was just cur I was Yeah. No, no, no. And that's what we're trying to keep in mind here is that there's no way that that slipped by some of the newer ones. Some of the older ones it might have. I actually sent it to y'all. I did as soon as I found out it's actually July. It'll be two years. These companies are pretty thorough now. Check. Yeah, they are. So, and again because we had to do due diligence in because I I mean they're sure they're my babies. They're not mine. I have no ownership, but I love them. And so, you know, I was like, we got to make sure this is all right before we purchase it. Just for the record, I was and and and I again, I do apologize about having to make, but if we don't get it right here, right?
If we don't get it right, it could cause you a lot of headaches. If the trucks or different things were down that road, I did get a couple quotes what payment would be and it's very expensive. So, I just wonder what it would take to get Jason to maybe get him to sign that But who would they make it to? Exactly. They would have to be an entity. They would have to be an entity. So then it's kind of a road association. Trying to think of any
Well, that's like over there on that side of the lake. There's one that doesn't, but it helps keep property values up and everything. It looks great and so it is important to all of us. It's about a half a mile. It's about a half mile. That's quarter mile of things. Yeah. But they can get better rates at the county than we can private mile from the main road to their Yeah. to their property. About a half a mile. The whole thing right now measuring like 28 or something. How much does it cost the tarn chipper road? $3 to $4 a square foot. How much? $4 a square foot. How much it cost to pay it? Mhm. Five $6 a square foot. And that's if you go with a smaller company could be that's actually better. That's still
better than what we got. What we we found. Yeah. Much better. When I was trying to get some quotes just to get an idea that is just to pay it that is not to do it. Yeah. That's cost mainly like topping it, not like a full So commercial. If you're going with commercial paving, you have to be like 6 in, then you're talking Yeah. Okay. If you're going to try to get the county to accept it, you would have to build it, right? You'd have to put curbs in. So, give you an idea. Let me see that. It's not cheap.
I understand. Thank you all your agenda to be here any longer than necessary. She'll be right. That's what we're here for. Yes. We appreciate it. We want to try to pass as many as we can. But sometimes we can't because there's a there's something like this loophole that we've got to cut this off now. It makes total sense. I just Yeah, there's one more lot back there that Yeah, there is one more to that ement somewhere. You can put put that in the packet and be no problem. Yeah, because Chanel has it listed currently, so it's for sale also.
I don't think TUA had any meetings that the public invited for this. I think they all just were most of those meetings are closed. You have to be on the agenda. Administrative meetings and that's that's that nature of that business. I think they own three roads. I think is what he said that they it all kind of came up when and they went I don't doubt that they're like we own three roads. We're not in the roads business. I'm like and they're where was probably the next thing they said. I'm
you know TVA Normandy is such a unique lake because TVA owns so much of the boundary and regulates it so strongly uh to where there won't be many more houses built on it. Not like Normandy, I mean like Tims. Uh most of it is in wildlife habitat now which is wonder the eagles and stuff. Uh we're down Riley Creek. My wife's okay my wife's mom and dad's place was taken by TVA
and when the lake goes shallow you can still see the old roaded that she brought her bicycle on and across the causeway is where they live there rock fence everything it and the sad part about it is that the people of Coffee County are going to be punished because the Duck River is going to be soaked dry by people downstream our lake will never in my lifetime I've told my children. Your father-in-law and grandfather fought for it. Your dad's going to keep it try to keep it full, but y'all going to have to fight to keep it alive because so much water is going to be dependent downstream. Uh unless they build a new dam in Colombia and it's going, you know,
uh I was in college when the snail daughter shut it down and snail darts are everywhere. Somebody hoodwank somebody on that one. But yeah, Columbia, they they you can't even see it. You can't see the footprint of the dam. Yeah, but there's no building going on. They they've shut it down. There's no water. There is no water. And I mean, and the good thing is the state legislature put it protected it again this week by making sure that there will not be a dump within two miles of it. Yes, that's smart. which is very important because if you go to the Stones River BFI or whoever it is down there say we were in
I never knew what that was until we went down there one night and it looked like two dinosaurs fighting with the meth with the methane torches. Yeah. I'd never seen that before. I was mesmerized by it. Our problem with this is the headarters. Yeah. Where the That's exactly. Okay. Okay. You're the We need to take this off the table first. Yeah. Okay. I make a motion to take Miss Sarah Banks off the table here, her application. And who second? I will make a second. Okay. All in favor say I. I.
Okay. It's back open for discussion. I'm trying to figure out where I should start. One of you look at the back page. It might be back there.
Subject to all restrictions. I'll read it out loud. Easement. The above desri um described 1.864 acre tract is built subject to and holds easement rights across a 50 ft wide strip. Said easement line 25 ft on either side of the common property line with a property to the south. set property to the south being currently owned by WD Skinner and said easement being more particularly described as follows. Being a strip of property 50 ft and with line 25 ft on either side beginning at the iron pins in the south line of TVA property now formally said line pin south 84 degrees. um quite a bit of uh north degree. Anyways, it's the location exactly the same thing and it repeats itself. So, all seven of those lots have an easement by that entrance.
Now, I have one question that was brought up while y'all were gone. You said there's a lot behind it. Correct? No, no, it's in front of the furthest. Hey, Kendall, can you pull that down? Candle, can you a little bit? So, I was reading that. Pull it down. Skinner. Oh, yours. Oh, it's right here. Skinner's right here. Skinners are there. Okay. They bought that one up in the corner. So, so the the lot that very end. So, you are at the very end and that easement just comes up to your property and it does not go through your property. Correct. Correct. Okay. It stops here.
Yeah. Well, what I was saying, the way I understood you a minute ago was it went through their property and would they have enough room to build their house? Oh, no. They have plenty of room. That that that was that was the question I had. And then the lot in purple, they've got that whole easement. Yes. Right there. They've got the narrowest part of the easement, but that's enough to get into right now. Yes. It's 50 foot. And we hope to buy one. Oh, really? Oh, y'all do? Okay, we want to I mean maybe that's a good goal. Okay, that's a good goal. It is a good goal. You add to it. Yeah. To buy anything around you.
But this does have the ement here. It says the above described 1.8 64 acre track holds per sh. So it was even named. Okay. This is the warranty de not using the paper which means they checked it though. Thank you for going and getting that. Does that give us documentation to back our and I have an app that just so we note it that we've seen it and is all is all we have to have in the records that are
since this is blank. Can we Oh, is this your only copy? Okay, I can let me and it's Kindle.
Email it to Cindy. That's fine. That way it's send it to all of you if you prefer. Well, no. If we just she'll have it on file. Yeah. That way it's in file on the record. If you have Cindy's email, you can even go straight to her if you want. If you have it. That's Cindy. Cindy Roer. Yes. So that way it be like D4. Huh? D4 or any other further discussion.
Do I hear motion on this? I'll make the motion of the variance under D4 because it is the granting of the variant shall be in harmony which everybody's already using the general purpose intent resolution and shall not be in injurous to the neighborhood because you've got one more lot back there and if they buy that lot or mother-in-law buys the lot, you've got family back there to get it. But if they buy it, then you've cut one lot out. So the easement, you wouldn't have as much traffic back there, but it's not detrimental to the public welfare or a conflict with the uh comprehensive plan for the development because that's what was set up to develop it was that easement. Yes.
Second. Motion's been made and seconded by Anna. Any further discussion on this? Any other questions? Prepared to vote. All in favor say I. I. opposed. It passes. Good. Y'all have good neighbors. Yeah. Be good neighbors. It's like we got to wait and see if she gets back. Is there any any other business? Nope. Do I hear a motion to adjurnn? Motion been made to adjourn. Second. Thank y'all. Thank you. You're welcome. We we apologize about being
sticky. I'm with you. I That way we don't get challenged. Yeah. Yeah.
