“Okay, so if we were to look at a brand new zoning of 8.4, a lot that small, you would have a 15-foot setback on the on the side property line?”

“Okay. Thank you. So once again, we're faced with what we've discussed in the previous case and here, too, that we have a long, narrow lot that was probably platted or figured out 40, 50, 70 years ago. And now that we've updated our ordinances and the city has grown up around it, we have now come up with our new value. The one thing I am impressed with this is the fact that this carport, the roof line, is going to go into the roof of the home and it's gonna be integral to the house roof system, correct?”

“To me, this is, I saw a statement earlier on one of these applications that said this carport complements the home that it's being built next to. This one genuinely, in my view, complements the home because it is integral to the roof line of the home, and even though it does overlap into the setback I think it's reasonable. So at this point, at least, unless my commissioners persuade me otherwise, I would support this. But with that, let's hear from Commissioner Scott.”

“Commissioner Lice? I'll offer a second. Okay, we have a motion and a second to approve item D2. Is there any further discussion? Okay, let's vote. Okay, that motion carries five to two. Sir, you'll be before the city council on September 15th. Just to remind everybody, we are a recommending body, advisory to the council. The council will make the ultimate decision on this. But we thank you very much for attending this evening, and we wish you well with your project. Okay, with that, we've completed our agenda. Any other comments? And with that, let's adjourn at 7.54.”

“Okay, a thought just occurred to me is we're adding some room to the south end of the lots that go along Calais Street. Has that property already been sold to those homeowners, to that development? Or is this... That's all built.”

“I understand they're built, but we're going to add this unimproved land to the back of their lot. Have they already purchased that property? Because what my question I'm thinking is, are we creating platting”

“So they're not going to sell it to them. You're just going to say, here it is.”

“I'm trying to pull up that email that you sent and Did you send it to me through the city? No, I sent it to your home one. Okay. That's why I can't see it. But do you happen to have a copy of it in your computer there where you can, we have a couple minutes we can spend on this, where the verbiage for the sign ordinance is the materials, but does it say it has to be made of those five materials? It says, such as these five materials. Is that correct?”

“Ross Brensinger. And I'm John Baker, your chairman for this evening. On the agenda, the next item is persons to be heard. Now, before we start this, let me go ahead and read this.
