Mrs. Whaley was concerned about the fact that the variance would no longer be good if the property was sold. Mr. Holloway stated it would since there was an improvement on the property and even if they were to ask for a rezone they would still have to get a variance for setbacks because they don't meet them all even with a double. Mr. Holloway also stated that he feels the building would be an improvement to the neighborhood. Mike Young asked if the board could request something other than vinyl and Mr. Holloway stated that they could make that stipulation with a variance. Mr. Currens asked if they meet the minimum lot size and Mr. Holloway stated they do not, so they may have to re-advertise and come back- Mr. Holloway provided another handout to the board with a drawing of a duplex. He stated that if the duplex was more appealing to the board, they would be willing to change their request. The plan for the duplex would provide eight parking spaces- Ann Whaley asked what a paved parking area would do to the water problem already in the area. Mr. Holloway stated that the duplex and parking combined would be very close to the same area as the previous home,however a 4-plex would obviously be more. He will formally amend his petition down from a 4-plex to a duplex. The duplex will be a single story on one side and a two-stogy on the other side. Brenda Huter of 203 Taylor Street asked for a copy of the plans for the neighbors and she was given.one. Alan Kramer suggested that the petition be tabled to the next meeting. Mr. Holloway asked that their variance of use be tabled and that their petition for development standards be allowed to be amended to include an area variance with the understanding that they will re-notify the appropriate parties by certified letter and re-advertise in the paper. Ann Whaley asked for Tim Currens to confirm that a variance was appropriate instead of a rezone and Mr. Currens stated that it would be and that it would continue into the future with any restrictions that the board.placed on it. A motion was made by Alan Kramer to table both the variance for use so that it can be changed from R-3 to R-2 and the variance for development standards to be modified to include area for lot size with all new notices being sent out. The motion was second by Mike Young and carried 4-0. A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Mike Young and second by Ann Whaley. Motion carried 4-0.
