Agenda:
1. Consideration of and possible action on the minutes of the July 21, 1998, Board of Adjustment meeting.
Sheila Johnson made a motion to approve the minutes as written. Rex Peebles seconded the motion
which passed by a vote of 2-0-3 (Joe Ogden, Patrick Walsh and Claude Proctor abstained from voting
due to their absence at that meeting).
2. Consideration of and possible action on a request for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance for Morrow
Addition, 0.31 acres, being a portion of Block O, located at 1208 S. Main Street. Tom Bolt gave the
staff report. The applicant was not present. Discussion followed regarding other options for the
applicant, such as espalier and/or trellised vine cover which could be implemented along the north
property line without a variance and could provide a greater effect of screening from nuisance with
greater height. After the discussion, Joe Ogden made a motion to deny a Variance to Section 8.302 of
the Zoning Ordinance to allow an 8 foot solid fence to be constructed at the north (side) property line
and a 8 foot solid fence to be constructed at the west (rear) property line, Morrow Addition, 0.31 acres,
being a portion of Block O, located at 1208 S. Main, as it will be contrary to the public interest due to
the lack of any special conditions, and because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance
would not result in unnecessary hardship to this applicant, and such that the spirit of this ordinance shall
be observed and substantial justice done. Patrick Walsh seconded the motion which passed by a vote
of 5-0.
3. Consideration of and possible action on a request for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance for Quail
Valley, Section One, Block B, Lot 5, located at 1409 Quail Valley Drive. This agenda item was pulled
from the agenda because it was found after further review by staff that the requested variance was not
needed for the property.
4. Consideration of and possible action on a request for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance for Country
Club Acres, Block A, Lot 5, located at 1011 Country Club Road. Wendy Walsh gave the staff report.

allow an existing storage building to remain within the seven foot rear setback and the existing 36.5
percent lot coverage for Country Club Acres, Block A, Lot 5, located at 1011 Country Club Road as it
will not be contrary to the public interest because it has been that way for a long time and because a
strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship to this
applicant being that they would have to remove something that existed before purchasing the property
and such that the spirit of this ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done. Claude Proctor
seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0. Joe Ogden made a motion to deny a Variance to
Section 2.0203 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow a 14 ½ foot by 21 foot carport to be constructed
within the seven foot west side setback as it will be contrary to the public interest due to the lack of any
special conditions, and because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would not result
in unnecessary hardship to this applicant, and such that the spirit of this ordinance shall be observed and
substantial justice done. Patrick Walsh seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0.
5. Members’ comments and reports. None were made.
