Members present were Joe Ogden, Claude Proctor and Sheila Johnson. Rex Peebles, Patrick Walsh and Charles Parker

1. Consideration of and possible action on the minutes of the April 21, 1998, Board of Adjustment meeting. Joe Ogden made a motion to
approve the minutes as written. Sheila Johnson seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-0.
2. Consideration of and possible action on a Variance to parking space requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for Sierra
Vista, Section One, Block D, Lot 6, located at 202 Tamara Drive. Carla Benton gave the staff report. Phil
Bitner, the applicant was present and responded to the Board’s questions regarding the timing of this request
and safety issues. After the discussion, Gerald Carson made a motion to authorize a Variance to Section
7.101A. of the Zoning Ordinance to allow the encroachment of one required parking space in the front yard
building setback for Sierra Vista, Section One, Block D, Lot 6, located at 202 Tamara Drive, as it will not be
contrary to the public interest because the builder has installed a retaining wall to forestall accidents; and
because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship to this
applicant because of the loss of saleable property through no fault of the applicant; and such that the spirit of
this ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done subject to a fence being erected for safety.
Claude Proctor seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-0.
3. Consideration of and possible action on a Variance to lot coverage requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for Berry
Creek, Section Two, Block D, Lot 17, located at 30204 Oak Tree Drive. Kim Shaw gave the staff report. Ken
Loudermilk, the applicant, addressed the Board and responded to its questions. After extensive discussion, Joe
Ogden made a motion to table this agenda item for 30 days to consult with staff and the City’s Legal
department regarding wording for a motion that could apply to this lot only, so that a precendent is not set by
approving this variance. Claude Proctor seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-0.
4. Members’ comments and reports. None were made.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
