0:18 – 0:500

Thank you God for this day that you have given us. We ask that you will be with us throughout this kind of your name we pray. We say together. Amen. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

0:54 – 1:280

Motion to approve October minutes. So move second second. U all in favor eyes have it. So it is motion to open public hearing. So move second. Probably second. All in favor? Eyes have it. Ruben Austin [clears throat] got a open public hearing.

1:23 – 1:570

Open public hearing. Yes. Oh my bad. Uh, Mr. President and board members, uh, Mr. Augustine is applying for a conditional use for a single family residence in an R3 residential district. It's located at 509 Sugar Hill Street. Uh, that residential district is made for multifamily. So, a single family residence is a conditional use in that district. questions.

1:57 – 2:330

Yeah, we do. Unfortunately, um for conditional use, it has to meet six criteria. It doesn't meet the six criteria because the lot's too small for an R2. The front width lot width is too small for an R2. Can we make a motion to approve that subject to a zoning variance?

2:32 – 3:080

Uh, this this subdivision is a platted subdivision. Therefore, it was accepted as those lot sizes at that time. So, it is a legal lot to build on. I think you can you can note the variance in your if you're so inclined. I think you can all all of those lots in that subdivision are like that. So we know that they're all small, right?

3:05 – 3:400

Um and they are grandfathered because they were there before. This is just a vacant lot. So that's in the ordinance that we can do that. What's that? The the variance, not the variance. What he's saying that that um there's basically a lot of record. So they they can I don't think that u the setbacks are the issue in there.

3:37 – 4:160

I haven't been able to find that in that ordinance that even a lot of record So that's why I was asking should we grant evidence? You you can you certainly can if you've done your due diligence and you find that and you you see that. Now this public hearing was just strictly for the conditional use and to grant a variance you have to have a public hearing. So, would we make that subject to a public hearing on the variance or

4:13 – 4:530

I I would I would think I I mean I hadn't looked at that. I had I didn't find that. Good job of finding that, but um I mean I I think you can grant that on the fly if it's me. I mean because they clearly put the petition in front of you the request. Um if you think it best I think it'd be cleaner because if it if if somebody looked at it down the road, you can make a record and it shows legal non-conforming on new construction like that.

4:51 – 5:150

Insurance and alone could come into play. Okay. Okay. I don't disagree. Okay. No complaints. Can we make a motion? Yes, we can.

5:12 – 5:530

Okay. I make a motion that his uh petition for conditional use um be granted and also a variance on the dimensional requirements uh a zoning variance be granted on the dimensional requirements of that lot. Second motion and properly second with those exceptions. All in favor? I was happy. It is. Thank you. Thank you.

5:50 – 6:070

Can't fish a lick. [clears throat] We're here to get uh state your name

6:04 – 6:520

Dave Clemens with Kent Fishelick LLC who owns Deerfield Golf Club and we have 4.93 acres at the corner of Yandel and North Old Canton that is currently zoned as PUD and we want to get it changed to C2. Okay. Question to the U administrator. When I looked at the zoning map that more than half of that lot shows on the zoning map as an A1, not a P.

6:52 – 7:310

Okay. I think Andy and I talked about this. that zoning map is incorrect according to the master plan that was back in the 70s. Uh plotted out that that parcel and that is what is in the put. So that map will be corrected because there was an error on that map. Okay. But it it did not show the entire piece that was u done by uh JD Ranken back in the 70s. But we did find there was an error on the map. Okay.

7:33 – 8:180

Any other questions? I entertain a motion that we will accept the petition request. Second. Probably motion and second. All in favor? Eyes have it. So it is. Thank you. Motion to close public hearing. Motion. In favor I public hearing closed. Motion to accept the 11th of December for our next meeting. Motion. All in favor? So it is. [clears throat] Nice. Is that a record?

8:160

No, that's not a record. Not a record.
