Chair Pitts opened the Public Hearing.
Eric Marsh, 1219 and 1221 Haven Lane, asked questions and Pitts referred him to staff.
Chair Pitts closed the Public Hearing with no other speakers coming forth.
Motion by McCord to deny because the board has little discretion and the request does not
comply with the majority of the seven criteria that are needed to find facts and approve the
variance. Second by Fuller.
The board discussed the application and possible options of the applicant. Staff explained that the
need for the variance is because they want to put a car port in this specific location. If they place it

will need a special exception to extend the non -conforming use.
