Monday, August 23, 1993, 7:30 P.M.
Council Chambers, City Hall, 901 Broadway
Meeting was called to order by Chairman, Lynn Davis.
Members present: Lynn Davis, Chairman, Don Willis, Paul Lyle, Mary Ann
Escamila, and Jannie Benson.
Staff present: Muff London, Director of Community Development, Debra Harris,
Secretary, Board of Adjustment.
Guest present: Leslie Trotter and Lee Bledsoe.
Director of Community Development, Muff London presented B.A. Case 1195.
Leslie Trotter requested a variance of fifteen feet of the twenty feet side setback
for a garage as defined in Section 34.4 in an R-1 Zoning District, located at 700
Amarillo St. Ms. London read two responses received by her, in favor of the
variance. Board member Jannie Benson questioned the appearance of two
measurements (18X24 and 24X24) shown on the sight drawing. Mr. Trotter
explained that he is planning to move in a building to be used as a garage which is
24' X 24', and had also made alternative plans for Jim Matlock to build an 18' X 24'
metal building, depending on the findings of the Board. Mr. Trotter stated that
Muff London had explained that any building moved onto the site would have to
meet City Codes. The hardship causing the variance request is the fact that no
other site on the property would allow the construction of any kind of garage.
Lynn Davis questioned which side of the building the variance would affect. Muff
London and Mr. Trotter stated that the difference would be toward the back of
the property only. The video of the property was viewed.
Motion was made by Paul Lyle that the Variance requested by Leslie Trotter be
approved. Motion seconded by Don Willis. Motion carried unanimously.
Muff London, Director of Cummunity Development presented B.A. Case 1196 a
request by L & L , Inc. for a variance of: eighteen feet of the twenty feet
required front setback for a canopy for the pump station as stated in Section 34.3
and thirteen feet of the thirty feet required front setback for the gas pump
islands as stated in Section 34.3: in a C-2 zoning district, and being located at
2104 W. 5th St. Ms. London read 3 responses received by her, in favor of the
variance.
Muff London explained that the variance was needed because the pumps were
replaced as before and were non-conforming to current ordinances. The canopy
needed to cover the non-conforming pumps could not meet the 20 foot setback
requirements. London explained the hardship of L & L meeting environmental and
Gas Co. requirements must include these variances for the gas station to exist
without moving buildings, etc.
1 of 2
Lee Bledsoe, representing L & L, Inc., stated that the pumps were not being
replaced. They are being moved in order to replace storage tanks. These tanks
are being replace because of Environmental requirements. He further stated that
Phillips, the company from which he purchases his gas requires that the pumps
be covered by a canopy. While the pumps had to be moved anyway he requested
the variance to build the canopy. Muff London stated that the only reason the
pumps were too close to Olton Road is because the ordinance changed in 1989. It
was also pointed out that Olton Road had been widened.
Paul Lyle stated that the Trio Rebel Drive-In was right across the street and its
canopy was lower and closer to the Road.
Jannie Benson made the motion that the variance be approved as requested,
seconded by Paul Lyle. Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned by Chairman, Lynn Davis.
