MOORESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MINUTES THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1.1, 2003, 6:00 P.M. The Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals met on Thursday, December 11, 2003 at 6:00 P.M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. Board members present were: Chairman, Alan Kramer, Chris Crotch, Jon Swisher and Mike Young. Town attorney, Tim Currens was also present. Board member, Don Barry was absent. A motion to approve the minutes of the November 13ffi meeting, as amended, was made by Jon Swisher, second by Chris Crouch. Motion carried 4-0. The first item on the agenda was the petition for a variance for front and side setbacks by Tom Warthen on behalf of his mother, A. Rosa Warthen, at her property located at 960 Westbrook Drive. The proposed construction is of an open-sided, covered carport, that would be built forward of the existing building_ It will extend 24 feet in front of the existing building for a front setback of 16 'h feet from the sidewalk. The design of the new building will mirror the design of the existing home, which is a 1957 National home. It will have vinyl siding with treated and covered posts at the exterior_ The driveway is currently 20 feet wide and the posts will extend to the edge of the driveway. Mrs. Warthen currently has her father living with her and this would give her a sheltered building during in climate weather for getting him to and from the vehicle. It will. enhance the value of the property and will not in any way restrict the vision of the neighbors. Alan Kramer was concerned about the roofline being only two feet from the property line. He asked if the posts were at two feet and then the overhang would extend even closer to the property line_ Mr. Warthen stated that the overhang itself extends to two feet from the property line. There were no questions from the audience. Alan Kramer read the standards for approving a variance. This being done, a motion was made by Mike Young to approve the petition for the variance, second by Chris Crouch. Motion carried 4-0. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, a motion was made by Jon Swisher to adjourn the meeting. Motion was second by Chris Crouch and carried 4-0. The next .meeting of the Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals will be held on January 8, 2004 at the Mooresville Town Hall. Chairman
