Second item on the agenda, Case #1312, the request of Lonnie Smith for a variance of
six feet eight inches of the required eight foot side setback in a Single Family Residential
Zoning District, address being 1305 Holliday Drive. John Castro showed video of
property in question to the board and stated that this structure had already been built and
was built without a permit and built within the setback. John also stated that eight
responses from the neighborhood were received back and five were against and three
were in favor, he then read comments from those responses to the board. Mr. Castro
then stated that staff felt like that it could have been built within the setbacks and did not
see a hardship or reason to deviate from the setback requirements. Mr. Smith then took
the floor and stated that he thought the contractor that built the cover had pulled the
permit and that it was his(Mr. Smith's) fault for thinking they would handle that process
and they didn't. Mr. Smith said that he did have a small building there that would store
a pickup and the roof had gotten hailed on and so he built this structure. Mr. Smith also
stated that he and his wife had been though a lot of misery over this structure and that
he evidently had made other people miserable. Mr. Smith stated that he had a leg cut
off and two heart attacks and that it was hard for him to tarp his motor home. Ray
Jameson made motion to deny the request because it could have been built in the
setbacks without a variance and Cesar Cervantez seconded. Motion carried 4-0.
