VARIANCE 93-02. SCMESSLER
Fee paid. Advertised 2 times in the Laurel Outlook 8/18 & 8/25 of
1993. All property owners within 300 feet were notified. No
protests were receLved.
Mr. Schessler has asked for a variance on the property located at
"0" W. 5th (400 block), which is Lot 10, and the north 20 feet of
Lot 9, Block ? of Laurel Heights Subdivision. The property has
been used over the years as several commercial ventures. Mr.
Schessler would like to be able to sell a 3,500 sq. foot piece to
Mr. Richard Everhard for a small residence. Zoning is R 6,000
which requires 6,000 sq. feet per residence.
Cal states that the variance will also have to stipulate two other
factors which are lot coverage and mxnimum backyard setback. Lot
coverage is 30%, and the minimum backyard setback is 20 feet.
Because the lot is being cut into half the original size, both
coverage and setback will have to be waived. He would also like to'
see the Board limit the house and garage to 1,000 square feet. Me
feels that there is a hardship due to the past uses of the
property. Me has no problem with the Board granting the variance.
Joe Bradley also would like to see the house limited to 1,000
square feet, and also feels that this is a warranted variance
application and that it' should be granted.
Motion by Robert Western, seconded by Bruce Teeters that the
variance be granted, and that variances for percentage of lot
