Chris Fuller presented the case and briefed the Commissioners.
Commissioner Byerly questioned staff if the carport encroaches six feet or nine feet
on the side set back? Chris Fuller replied encroaches 9 feet between the property
and the carport.
Commissioner Duffy questioned staff in regards to the property having a garage and
workshop in the back? Chris Fuller replied correct. Commissioner Duffy questioned
if the building was built with the house or separate from the house? Chris Fuller
replied the applicant will have to respond.
Commissioner Byerly opened the public hearing at 7:09 p.m.
Jesse Cobb, 1508 Cherry Lane, the applicant, presented the request and briefed the
Commissioners.
Commissioner Duffy questioned the applicant if the building in the back was built
with the house or separately? Mr. Cobb replied the building was built separate.
Commissioner Duffy questioned staff in regards to the accessory building code, how
much square footage is allowed for this property? Chris Fuller replied 750 square
feet is allowed for accessory buildings which does not include carport. A carport is
excluded from that calculation.
Mr. Cobb thanked the Commissioners for hearing his request.
There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at 7:11 p.m.
Commissioner Duffy stated the Commissioners should support the building code to
the letter. Therefore, believe this Commission should not allow this request because
it was constructed without a building permit and it exceeds code.

the request.
Commissioner Byerly concurred with Commissioner Duffy however, the carport does
fit with the neighborhood and none of the other neighbors have opposed.

building permit? Chris Fuller replied the permit will have to apply to the conditions

the SUP which Mr. Cobb would have to adhere to when applying for the building
permit.
Commissioner Byerly questioned staff if the carport fits in with the neighborhood?
Chris Fuller replied correct.
Commissioner Byerly made motion to approve case Z-05-018. Commissioner
