MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS The Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals met for its regular meeting on May 15, 1991 at 7:00 P.M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. Board members present were Alan Kramer, Vern Kimmel, Don Barry and Charles McGuire. Absent was member Steve Oschman. Also present was the Board's attorney, Timothy C. Currens. Alan Kramer said that the minute§ would be discussed under Old Business. NEW BUSINESS Richard Woods, attorney, came before the Board representing Robert D. and Mary A. Bingham, 124 East High Street. This is currently Big A Auto Parts and a car wash. They wish to attach a 40' x 60' building to the car wash for a wrecker repair business. This is zoned I2 so the setback requirement is 10' and they are requesting a variance for a 5' setback. Alan K~amer felt it would be less than 5' and there should be a staked survey for accuracy. Tim Currens said this Board should act on accordingly. Don Barry made a motion to approve a 5' setback on the east property line. Vern Kimmel made a second. Motion carried unanimously. James R. Honeycutt came before the Board requesting a variance from 940 sq. ft to 720 sq. ft and to have more than one primary structure on the property. They wish to live in a mobile home which is under regulation while they are building their home. Tim Currens advised that the rules changed when this area was brought into the buffer zone and that we do not have a temporary permit but a permanent situation. Therefore, the Board does not have the authority to say a temporary structure must be removed after the permanent structure is build. Alan then asked for discussion from the floor. Jerry Lussing asked the Board if they could have their existing trailer and then place another trailer that met all the requirements on this property because if so, this would make a big difference. He was told this is possible. Phyllis Bagwell then asked if it must be on a permanent foundation and Tim answered yes but this was~granted by the county previously and Tim wants to check to see if this was grandfathered. Mrs. Bagwell then asked the age of the existing mobile home and was told it is a 1976 Coachmen. Mr. Lussing asked if there was a time frame placed on the variance and Tim replied that the county had experienced this problem in the past; there- fore, that is why we do not get into a temporary situation.
