New Business

Case #254876 Joe & Lyne Walby

Todd Bickley read the case facts. The applicants previously received a variance to reduce the side yard setback (McCloy Road) from twenty-five feet (25’) to four feet (4’) and reduce the rear yard setback from thirty-five feet (35’) to thirteen feet (13’) for a two-story home on property located at 5608 E. Farrow Drive, also known as Lot 13 of Harbor Park Marinas, Inc. Plat 1 Subdivision. The approval included the condition that the porch would not be enclosed. The property is zoned “R-4”. The applicants are now proposing a one-story home and are requesting approval to increase the house from thirty feet (30’) plus six (6) foot porch to thirty-four feet (34’) with a two (2) foot offset. Steps would be kept four feet (4’) from the property line.

No board member had a conflict.

Joe Walby and Lyne Walby were sworn in by Chairman Baugh. Mr. Walby indicated that the front door would be off McCloy Road and the porch and steps were identified. There will be two (2) doors off the garage, which would be flush with the existing grade.

With no further comments and questions, Chairman Baugh closed discussion from the floor.
