Board of Zoning Appeals - Regular Meeting
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved two requests for variances related to construction regulations. The first case involved a request to apply a 25-foot setback regulation instead of a newly imposed 50-foot setback for a new home construction. The second case involved a request to change the minimum 5-hectare size requirement for a property to allow for the sale of a 1.75-acre parcel.

Uh, have you all looked at the case? I will agree to approve the case. A consent has been submitted for approval of the case. Would you like to re-apply? I will re-apply. You re-applied. Team, team, yes, that's right. The person who agrees to the case is me. Please tell me.
The person who opposes me is me. Please tell me. The case has been passed. Good. Let's move on to the next. This is the approval of the previous meeting. Have you all read the meeting? I will agree to the approval. Anna agreed to the approval of the previous meeting. Would you like to re-apply? I will re-apply. The team has re-applied. Is there anything else you would like to discuss about the meeting?
Please tell me if you agree. Please tell me if you disagree. Let's move on to the case. 어, 공개 발언은 해당 안건이 발표될 때 하도록 하겠습니다. 발언을 원하시는 분은 앞으로 나와 주십시오. 안건이 발표되는 시점에 발언해 주시면 감사하겠습니다. My wife wrote a short speech. Yes, I won't read it all. My name is Matthew Hogg.
In early August 2024, we purchased Noah Farms No. 22, which is located on Col-Ridgey Road, Manchester Township, Tennessee, and paid the deposit in August. On Friday of that year, I had a right knee surgery. I have a disability as a volunteer. Our real estate agent said he would help us get the permit, and he said he would know how big a house we could build if we got the permit. But we didn't know that the agent submitted a permit application through his own construction company. So we canceled his permit. We re-applied for the permit under 625-2025 in our name. However, it did not have any measurement or measurement mark, and the soil inspection was not properly carried out. In addition, I heard that there was no measurement mark. So we hired a soil purification expert and a measurement company to check the measurement location again. The person in charge of the main government purification permit once caused a lot of trouble. In the end, the permit was approved in the 326th district. At this time, our contractor received an architectural permit, and the main government told us that the left and right crosswalks were changed from 25 feet to 50 feet. Our house is designed to be 88 feet, but if we apply a 2-floor distance of 25 feet, we have 12 feet left. We will build it as a single-story house because we cannot install stairs. Considering the 2-floor distance of 25 feet, I would like to apply the 25-feet 2-floor distance regulation before the 126th floor. At the time you bought the land, there was a 25-feet distance rule, which is not your fault, but first of all, thank you for your service. Thank you so much, and it's a pity that you were injured during the battle.
When you bought the land, there was a 25-feet distance rule, and the real estate agent couldn't properly deal with it. Yes, that's right. Now you have an installation site for the purgatory. Yes, we called the native experts to re-seal the horseshoe, and we don't remember the name of the company, but we found exactly the location of the two horseshoes that we installed in the company, the entrance route, the front line, and the purgatory.
Purgatory installation is a new facility.
혹시 담당 부동산 중개인이 누구였는지 여쭤봐도 될까요? 폴 스미스입니다. 폴 스미스요. 네, 맞습니다. 그는 자신을 부동산 중개인, 건설업자, 그리고 목사라고 소개하더군요. 좀 아이러니하다고 생각했습니다. 네, 다 맞으셨네요. 네, 가게 하나 정차합니다.
네, 알람 머퍼스 보러 만나요.
It's on Manchester Cold Ridge Road.
Is it the end at the bottom? Is it the end at the top? At the bottom. It's near the place where big houses are being built. Yes, that's right. The school bus goes that way. Oh, yes. It's 7.30. Yes, it's around 6 o'clock. Around 6.30. How much do you plan to rent a house here? 4,300 square feet. Wow. Yes, about 88 feet x 40 feet.
This part is a little over 5 acres. Yes. Is there anything else that can be changed besides what is drawn on the drawing? We tried to change it to see if we could put it in 50 feet. Dig deeper or something. But the slope is... It's a steep hill, so it's going to cost a lot more because we have to do a lot of land construction. It's the way up along that line. Yes.
The beginning is a forest. It's a slope near the border. The border of the forest is right over there. It's a thorn next to the road.
There's a thorn flowing where the mouse cursor is. Can you see that winding road going up? That's the end of the road. It's the left part of our house. It's a plan to build a house at the end of it. We can cut down a little more trees and cut down a hill for water. Other than that, we're going to make the ground flat and build a house.
And is this a pass? What is this? Yes, it's a pass.
Uh, there are houses down the road. If you want to go there from College Road, you have to build a bridge. I've already laid out the electricity and water supply.
And I made a deal with the neighbor next door where the cursor is now.
I connected the electricity to the basement on the previous line. Sounds like a good idea.
Yes. Then I'll ask you about this pass. Can you access that pass? Yes, that's right. Is that pass registered as a document? Well, to be honest, I haven't seen the registration document yet.
But I think there will be. Yes. This is the road we've been on since we got here. And it's all the way down. There's a house down there.
Yes, right there. Do I have to pay too much for maintaining the road? Or is there a agreement on maintaining the road?
Yes. I organize the front of my property with gravel and stones. Yes, I understand.
Some people don't do that. Yes, I understand. But it could lead to a difficult situation.
I have a four-wheel drive vehicle. Yes.
That's the county road, right? It's not a transit road, it's a county road. That's the county road. Yes, it's a college. Yes, that's right. Yes, yes. I submit an agreement to approve the reduction of the construction regulations according to the D4 regulations. First, I think we need to apply the existing regulations. Because when he bought the property, there was a 25-feet difference. Also, because of the geographical characteristics of the area, it will cost him a lot if he digs deeper. He's going to make a big loss. Therefore, we will judge that it is not a special difficulty and does not harm the property. Yes, did you submit a consent? Yes, that's right. Mr. Tim submitted a consent. I will request. Is there anyone who wants to talk about this case? This is the second case. Do you have anyone to talk to about the company? I'm not ready.
You can do it if you want to. It's okay if you don't.
Nice to meet you. Yes, do you have anything to say? I wanted to hear what he suggested. Oh, yes. Can you tell us about the differences in terms of the side? Yes. A consent has been submitted and it has been reordered.
Is there anything more to discuss with us?
Is there anyone to speak? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Let's move on to the second case. This is a request to change the minimum 5-hectare size of the A1-486 Walter Bartlett Road, owned by Michael Jones. Yes, good. Would you like to come forward? Are you John? Yes, I am. What do you do for a living? I have 3.5 acres of land. I bought the land in 2011. We lived in Memphis for a while, and my youngest daughter became old enough to go to kindergarten, so I wanted to go back to my hometown. This is my hometown. Yes. So my daughter studied in the same school as us and graduates tomorrow evening. When I bought the land, I was going to build another 1.75 acre building, but now I just decided to sell it separately. And I'm trying to sell the house, but the house is 3,000 square feet. Now only my wife and I live together. So Are you selling the house and trying to build a new house? Is that right? 아니요, 부지를 팔고 싶은 이유는 작년 6월에 교통사고를 당해서 갈비뼈가 부러졌거든요. 3개월 정도 일을 못해서 빚이 쌓여둬요. 네, 그래서 거의 압류 직전이에요. 손해는 보겠지만 전부 읽고 싶진 않아요. 네, 편지 잘 읽었습니다. Did anyone else read it? No. Um, where? Let's see. I read somewhere. It is said that there are 250 feet of road facilities. Yes, it's just the other way around, so the facilities are installed at the minimum. At the minimum? Yes, I saw the price. $ 255,000 for one branch. That's a pretty good price. Yes, that's right. So if the branch is cut off, you think it's already sold, right? Yes, this branch is half the size. I think this is one of the branches that came out before our special question. That's right. 다른 부지들을 보면, 다른 부지들은 1.7, 1.5 정도 크기입니다. 그러니까 이 부지보다 작지는 않을 겁니다. 절대 작지 않을 거예요. 딱 맞습니다. 이 부지 주변에 딱 들어맞습니다. 네. 음, 아마. 오른쪽 맨 끝 집일 겁니다. 수정안 10, 10.70항, 2번, 2번 항목.
주변 지역과의 조화. 임시 해상도 자료 있으세요? 네, 여기 해상도 자료에 있습니다. 이 수정안에요. 네.
특별 질문에 대해 말씀하시는 거죠? 네.
This is a question about harmony with the surrounding area.
Mr. Jones, thank you for writing the application well. You wrote it very meticulously. I often see applications that are not written well like this. Thank you. You provided a lot of additional materials. Thank you. My question is whether the 1.75 A-curve paper meets all the requirements and conditions related to construction. Yes, that's right. The base is already organized and the fence is down. Now it's going to be cut to the center. Let me ask you what size you're going to make the base. I think I told you it was 1.75 acres. As I said above, what's the exact number? Do you remember? Width, length, depth, width, um, let's see. There's going to be a drawing on the last page of the document. There's a drawing. We don't want to prove a specific situation. Yes, that's right. Then the problem of not being able to meet the conditions such as width or depth can be raised again. Yes, I think I checked the number exactly. It's a total of 515 feet. That's right. Yes, that's right. Then, if you divide it in half, it'll be 60 feet. Yes, it's 26,258,258 feet. This is the boundary line of the road. Yes, I think one of the two will do. I just checked. Then the front width is enough. And the depth will be enough. Yes, the width is okay. I don't think the depth will change. No, there's already a mahogany there. The length is at least 80 feet and the depth is about 20 feet. Yes, and maybe the neighbor's fence will be about 25 yards away from the outside. The depth seems to be about 300 feet. Yes, I checked for the 21st time and the depth is about 300 feet.
Yes, about 250. Yes, yes. If it's not oil, I'm going anywhere. Is there a water purifier there?
Is there a water purifier? Or is it a purifier tank? Oh, it's a purifier tank. Where's the water purifier? Water purifier. Yes, Walter Bartlett. If you turn back there, it's right there. It's close. I'm not sure. Yes, it won't last long. It goes all the way to the lawn over there. And that area, I think it's part of the area that's going to be developed later in that grassy city. I think the back of the bus stop is also part of the development area. No, it's too far. It's too far. After Walter Bartlett, I thought the end was near there. The end will be on the farm side of the old Buffalo. What does Swanson have? Yes, but that's before that. Yes. Did you agree? No. Yes. I knew it.
I'll agree to the approval. Would you like to say it again? I'll read it again. Once again. Now, Article 22 of Article 10.10.70, which has been revised and corrected. According to the harmony with the surrounding area, the development area must have the characteristics and harmony of the surrounding area, and the density of the surrounding real estate You must not create a development pattern that does not match the proposed land use plan or the intention to set up an area. It must be in harmony with the surrounding area. I agree. The team agreed and agreed.
Is there anyone who wants to talk about this case? 더 논의할 사항이 있습니까? 누가 동의했습니까? 팀입니다. 팀. 아, 누가 동의했나요? 안나입니다. 안나. 좋습니다. 더 논의할 사항이 있습니까? 찬성하시는 분은 저 라고 말씀해 주십시오. 저. 저. 반대합니다. 감사합니다. 승인되었습니다. Can you check with Cindy and Kirk tomorrow? Yes, I see. I'll help them get started on Monday. Yes, I see. Thank you. Thank you so much. I wish you good luck, too. Yes, this is a request to ease the construction regulations for the 25-inch 2-storey building in the A1 area. Kenny. Thank you for taking your time for dinner today. Some of you may remember that we got the construction regulations eased a few years ago for these two buildings. At that time, the building was on a 30-feet wide roadside, so we got a building permit. This was the house where my wife's mother lived before Normandy Lake was built. So I got these two notes. At that time, the front of the building was changed from 25 inches to 255 inches. There is a house that is almost completed in the first note, and I want to do something in the second note. But while I was talking to Kurt, I heard that the architectural regulations have been changed. Because it is an A1 area, it is said that it must be restored. That place is designated as an A1 area. So the reason I came here tonight is to get the architectural regulations and variances for that area. The area is located by the lake, and it is only 96 feet wide. So the width is not enough, so I have no choice but to get the building regulations eased. Yes, I'm not asking for a wider area. I know that even if you build a house, the width should be 40 feet, and that's okay. I'm asking for the same width as when I first got the building regulations eased. It doesn't require more than that. Yes, and I got that painting from Kenny two years ago. Yes, it was 24 years ago, but I don't remember the date I got another painting certificate. It was before the construction line and the retirement regulations changed. Yes, it was 2525-2550 at the time. Yes, but there was such a change in the second area, so it is now impossible to build and use it. Yes. And we talked about the fire station problem during the discussion on the road. It's a freeway, and they have to maintain it. That's all we discussed. You all know, right? Yes, I know. Do you have any questions? Then, we will submit a consent form to approve the change of purpose according to the D4 provisions. Once again, the change of purpose must be in harmony with the general purpose and harmony of the resolution, and should not be harmful to the nearby area or adversely affect public welfare or collide with the overall plan of the development. Requested. Duke agreed. Do you have anything more to discuss? When was this land developed? Do you remember? 77. So? Yes, there are many records, but yes, it was 1977. It's called the Pauline Banks House. It's Lisa's grandmother's name. So Lisa's middle name is Pauline. It's pretty interesting, isn't it? I'm so happy. Congratulations. Yes. I'm so happy to be able to go there. Did you call your grandmother Pauline? Pauline 2. Oh, I don't know. Tell me, grandma. No, it's Pauline 2. Yes. The agreement has been made and it has been reordered. Is there anything more to discuss? If you agree, please say me, me, me. If you're against it, it's passed. Team, what part are you talking about? D4, D4, D4. Yes, I see. Thank you. Kenny, thank you. Thank you. I'll review it. How about your brother? The first application was rejected and I applied again, but the last one I heard was rejected. I'm sorry. Yes, thank you so much for coming tonight. I'd like to ask if you have any other concerns. Who agreed to act?
