Alright. Let's call this thing to order. Roll call, please.

0:061

Wilmore. Here. Miles. Here. Millard. Here. Bailey. Here. Apples. I

0:13 – 0:280

have a motion to approve the minutes. So moved. Second. Thank you. All in favor? Thank Alright. Horizon Land Survey LLC on Dameron Drive. Come on up and tell us what's going on.

0:32 – 1:152

I'm Danny Burns with Horizon Land Surveying and I'm here to represent mister Clayton on this one, but it's kind of a unique situation. We got a piece of property that's preexisting. We're just trying to get a minor plant so that they can get approval for a building permit. And the right of way would be on Dameron Drive, but it's my understanding after talking with different folks that we don't know if Dameron Drive is public right of way or kind of what's going on in that situation. Talked to some people in the area and they say that it was probably paid with matter project back in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Just kind of we don't know where the city stands at as far as that road goes being public right away.

1:180

Are you gonna have an entrance onto this property?

1:212

Yes, Dameron Drive. And there's a, will be the third structure, I believe it's, or maybe the fourth that's got access off of that road.

1:310

Be in the flood zone?

1:332

Yes, it's gonna be in the flood zone. We're gonna try and do adequate dirt work to get it removed.

1:41 – 1:580

Not gonna be too close to property lines or anything like that? No, is the do you know the status of Dameron Drive?

1:58 – 2:413

We know that it was paved with MATA funding of late 90s. It was probably never dedicated it right away. But when it came into the city, of course, we accepted what was there. Now, of course, we all know that unless a judge, you know, declares that the the right of way is not actually there. It's just, you know so we we really don't have a lot of information on it. We don't figure it's a public street, but it's being used for a public street.

2:420

Is there any other driveways off of

2:44 – 3:162

it? There's, we have that 4116, then there's also a driveway at the dead ends into a driveway for 4,121 and then 3129 on the corner has access off of it. I don't have the records, Daryl, do you know if it was signed in under a petition back when they did the petitioning for all the county roads that got annexed in? I know.

3:164

I don't. Was it 1998 when that?

3:212

That's kind of our guess.

3:233

That's the years we've been looking around is that.

3:365

Stops right there, pass this property line.

3:432

And all the surveys and work that we found in that area, they're showing us dedicated at 20 foot is what the right of way is right now with all the survey records.

3:566

And did you say this was going on forty one fifteen?

3:592

Yes, sir. Okay.

4:120

Anybody here object to this ask proposal? Ask a variance?

4:244

Harold, can we give a variance on right away that city didn't have?

4:31 – 4:523

You can give a variance on half of the half the required right away to get a building permit. They are dedicating right away along their frontage. You can but, you know, basically, you've got a prescriptive right away out there right now.

5:08 – 5:192

Q. CWL Yes, has waterline runs down dead ends at a fire hydrant at the end of the road and then they've got overhead electric all the way down the road. No, sir.

5:296

This is pretty much gonna kill the end of the street anyway, correct? Because there's no

5:33 – 5:592

Yeah, the street right now turns into 4121 Driveway at the property line. There's a ditch that runs along the west side of our property and that road just pretty much crosses that ditch and you're on 4121 Driveway. Yeah, this will be the last structure on that road. That end, I think the 3133 has its frontage off the straw floor.

6:27 – 6:443

mean, as far as I know, there's nobody from engineer here and they were the ones with most of the questions. So I figured that Michael has worked something out with Danny or something or he would have been here.

6:45 – 7:152

I mean, he's talked to Travis, my partner, a little bit about it. I mean, my understanding is he's he thinks that it's kinda been basically prescriptively accepted or however you I that's point. He didn't act like he had any problem with it whenever we spoke with him.

7:186

Chairman, I move that we grant the variance.

7:220

Do we have a second? Second. Roll call, please. Miles. Yes. Billard. Yes.

7:281

Yes. Couples.

7:300

Thank you sir.

7:322

Alright, thank you.

7:330

Alright, mister Moss.

7:351

Thank you.

7:390

I don't know if it's Billy Gibbons or David Crowder. Talk about your beard.

7:45 – 8:147

Oh, I don't know either of those people, so just pick one. So I'm Josh Moss here with Moss Fencing representing mister Mark Panic, 706 Sequoia Drive, Jonesboro. As you can see from the diagram there, there's a portion of an existing eight foot fence that's starting to fall over, and we need to remedy that before it falls completely over. Currently has it held up with ratchet straps?

8:180

Well, it drops off pretty hard, didn't it? Off the back, those lots on Sequoia?

8:257

The backside? Uh-huh. The backside is level earth where that Jonesboro High School property is on the backside.

8:310

Okay. This is further up. I got you.

8:33 – 9:007

We're on the east side there next to 2113 Indian Trails. That stretch of fence right there. There's a section 64 feet or so in the middle of the day, And going straps. We wanna be able to do go in and then remedy that.

9:146

That 64 feet is the only area that you're going to have to do something with, Josh?

9:197

Right now the rest of the fence is in good shape.

9:310

Lucky day, Cables was not here.

9:384

Mr. Chair, I move that we grant the variance for the fence repair.

9:420

Second. Second. Roll call please.

9:451

Miles? Yes. Miller. Yes. Bailey. Yes. Apples. Thank you.

9:52 – 10:030

We can call him and have him call in. Yeah. It'll be the long negative vote. Alright. Joshua Neely. Oh lordy.

10:08 – 10:598

Josh Neely, Ridge Surveying and Consulting here representing mister Randy Lloyd and mister James Cook on property at 4104 Mount Carmel Road requesting a variance for the required width for access to public road right away in r one zoning. So what we have here, looking at this, Tracked A, mister Lloyd purchased Tracked A this year. Track A has historically been a trailer park with up to nine trailers in there at one point in time. And it was accessed by an ingress egress easement. The dashed line and all that jumbled up stuff right there by the road.

10:59 – 11:398

Well, going for a going for a building permit does not have road frontage, so therefore, no building permit. Mister Cook, who is the owner of Track B, has agreed to sell him approximately 40 foot strip of ground right there to give him road frontage. We can't go any further because if we go any further, it's going to get too close to mister Cook's house and make it nonconforming for r one zoning. All utilities are on the lot even though Seawater and Lap says the water meter does not exist down there. The previous trailers had water.

11:39 – 12:088

All available utilities. There's no sewer in this area. But you electricity is already there. Water's there, but then everything will actually be in the road access. So where you see the trailer there, that is now gone. Mister Lloyd plans on building a one single family residence on that piece of property, and

12:218

in the strip that Mr. Lloyd will obtain from Mr. Cook if all this goes through.

12:320

Where is the strip? Where is

12:345

the potential? Is it on the property line,

12:370

40 feet?

12:37 – 13:158

So the 4106 Mount Carmel Road that shows right there, it'll be just 40 foot north of that. Those green lines are actually slightly too far south. The if you see the there's a pad mounted transformer in that image. And if you see just on the West side of L3 on that plat, that is the PMT that shows up on that image, the little red spot just west of L3. And so that is the south that is the division line in between Mr.

13:15 – 13:288

Cook that is on Mount Carmel there and the house to the south. And so he'll sell the 40 foot strip right there that will take the road frontage of the existing gravel drive that goes in there.

13:285

So it ends basically right after the gravel drive?

13:328

Yes. Josh,

13:414

variance is granted, tract A and tract B be replatted into one

13:46 – 13:588

piece Correct. We'll have to replat it to be able to get a building permit anyways. And so Mr. Cook just hasn't sold this property yet. If the variance doesn't go through, then we're gonna back up and punt some other way.

13:590

But. Fly into.

14:018

I guess helicopter pad something.

14:240

Don't have it. Well,

14:415

the satellite image again?

15:280

Questions, gentlemen? Any opposition?

15:544

Mr. Chair, with the hardship presented on this one, make a motion that we grant this variance. Second.

16:021

Roll call. Miles. Yes. Wheeler. Yes. Bailey. Yes. Airpuffs.

16:09 – 16:220

Proceed. Thank you all gentlemen. Alright. And anything else y'all got? Motion to adjourn. So moved. Alright, seconded. There we go.
