Rex Peebles, Chair, called the July 21, 1998, Board of Adjustment meeting to order at 7:02 p.m. Other
Board Members present were Gerald Carson, Sheila Johnson and Charles Parker. Patrick Walsh and
Joe Ogden were absent. Staff members present were Hildy Kingma, Chief of Current Planning, Art
Rodriguez, Assistant City Attorney, Kim Shaw, Development Planner, and Janis Russell, Recording
Secretary.
Agenda:
1. Consideration of and possible action on the minutes of the June 16, 1998, Board of Adjustment
meeting. Gerald Carson made a motion to approve the minutes as written. Charles Parker
seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-0.
2. Consideration of and possible action on a request for a Variance to fence height requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance for Glasscock Addition, Block 10, Lots 5 and 6, known as First
Presbyterian Church, located at 703 Church Street. (This item was tabled from the June 16,
1998, meeting.) Kim Shaw gave the staff report and pointed out the additional landscaping
proposed for the site. Bill Stump, Jr., representing the Church, was present. Gerald Carson
made a motion to authorize a variance to Section 8.303 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow a 5
foot chain link fence to be constructed in the front yard adjacent to Church and 8th Streets, for
First Presbyterian Church, 703 Church Street as it will not be contrary to the public interest
because there are no residences contiguous to this site; and because a strict enforcement of the
provisions of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship to this applicant being the
inability to conduct child care on the site without endangering the children and such that the
spirit of this ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done. Charles Parker
seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-0.
3. Consideration of and possible action on a request for a Variance to fence height requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance for Morrow Addition, a 0.31 acre part of Block O, located at 1208 S. Main
Street. At the request of the applicant, Gerald Carson made a motion to table this item until
the August, 1998, Board of Adjustment meeting. Sheila Johnson seconded the motion which
passed by a vote of 4-0.
4. Members’ comments and reports. Art Rodriguez introduced himself to the Board.
