Corrections
or
additions
I.
A
A
Well,
the
final
order
is
being
circulated,
we'll
move
on
with
the
agenda.
That
is,
the
only
item
of
old
business,
we'll
move
directly
into
new
business
and
I
call
your
attention
to
application
1993
zero,
zero,
six
as
a
request
for
variance
to
section
4.2.1
of
the
zoning
ordinance
regarding
a
front
and
side
yard
setbacks,
and
this
is
to
permit
the
construction
of
an
attached
carport
and
its
own
RA
SS,
and
the
addresses
338
Dupree
plays
south
west
to
the
city.
Has
this
been
properly
posted?
It
asked
any
inquires.
A
C
Yet
before
you
is
a
variance
request,
as
you
noted
for
a
partner,
250
square
foot
carport
that
would
require
a
front
and
side
yard
setback
variance
the
property
is
at
338
Dupree
plays
southwest.
It
is
essentially
at
the
beginning
of
the
Dupree
place
cul-de-sac
on
the
north.
The
property
backs
directly
onto
Coker
splaying
Road
properties.
Also
about
two
logs
to
the
west
of
Sandhurst
place
the
Sanders
place
cul-de-sac.
C
The
property
is
about
pulling
to
eight
acres.
Roughly,
it
contains
a
single-family
residence.
The
property
is
zoned
residential
single-family
stable,
which
has
a
number
of
it's
a
legal
non-conforming
lot
in
the
RSS
district.
Rss
district
Lots
require
minimum
of
three
acres
and
have
a
front
yard
setback
at
50
feet
inside
and
rear
yard
setbacks
of
25
feet.
So
in
that
sense,
a
lot
is
legal
non-conforming
and
the
structure
is
legal
non-conforming,
one
of
the
setbacks,
the
side
yard
setback
to
the
east.
C
C
Sorry,
a
front
yard
setback
of
roughly
38
feet
where
50
P
is
required.
The
property's
adjacent
on
all
sides-
sorry,
north
west
and
south
or
all
residential
property
directly
to
the
east,
is
owned
by
the
city
of
Aitkin
and
on
the
front
side
contains
the
girl
sprout
grow
scout
cabin
and
on
the
rear
side,
contains
Coker
sprint.
C
The
1
note
that
staff
would
would
have
is
that
we
made
a
mention
that
as
those
typical
poems
constructed
in
this
time
period,
the
primary
structure
did
not
include
a
garage.
We
can't
confirm
that
it
did
or
did
not
include
a
garage.
We
try
to
go
back
and
find
records.
It
looks
like
it
may
have
had
a
carport
on
the
east
side
at
some
point
and
got
added
on
to,
but
we
weren't
able
to
confirm
that
with
building
records
they
love
them.
C
Don't
go
back
all
that
far
as
far
as
finding
us,
we
didn't
find
that
definitely
essentially
the
applicant
could
confirm,
but
it
is
not
of
the
applicants
doing
it
would
have
been
purchased
like
that.
It
appears
the
a
number
of
the
residences
in
the
vicinity
either
do
have
a
attached
or
it's
after
detached
car,
covering
of
some
kind,
whether
it
be
a
garage
or
a
carport,
so
it's
likely,
it
probably
did
have
a
carport
potentially
on
one
side
of
the
house
at
one
point.
C
So
with
that
said,
some
unique
kind
of
components
we
staff
presented
all
properties
surrounding
it
are
also
zone
2,
RS
s.
The
applicant
has
provided
a
kind
of
a
graphical
representation
of
where
it
would
be
located.
The
staff
has
provided
a
photo
here.
You
see
a
horse
fence,
essentially
I,
guess
on
the
East
property
line
there
it
would.
That
would
be
roughly
two
feet
off
of
that
horse
fence,
actually,
maybe
a
little
less
than
X
I
believe
the
property
line
may
fall
on
the
other
side
of
the
horse
notice.
C
Significant
of
know
for
this
particular
property
is
that
there
is
a
fair
amount,
terrain,
topographical
relief
on
the
backside.
It
slopes
down
fairly
severely
toward
coker
spring,
so
it
does
limit
the
amount
of
kind
of
it's
a
flat
developable
space
on
the
lot,
without
some
significant
investment
of
trying
to
flatten
some
places
out
with
respect
to
the
house.
Well,
if
that
staff
would
entertain
any
questions
from
the
port
I.
A
C
C
C
The
big
is
roughly
21
feet
from
the
East
property
or
right
side,
property
line.
So
without
verifying
that
in
the
field
that
you
know,
if
that
were
less
than
25
feet,
you
would
have
a
legal
non-conforming
structure
and
in
which
case,
both
cases
are
in
instance,
where
the
zoning
would
have
permitted
that
at
the
time
and
at
some
point
it
got
reason
own
to
the
RSS
district,
which
then
made
it
legal
non-conforming.
E
C
C
C
E
C
C
Feel
that
the
city
property
has
a
lower
likelihood
to
have
development
on
it.
As
it's
been
in
the
cities,
it
I
believe
is
one
of
the
first
properties
deeded
over
to
the
city,
I
want
to
say
around
the
late
18-hundreds,
so
it
had
very
little
change
other
than
maintenance
of
that
storms
who
are
lying,
that
that
went
through
the
property
and
just
maintenance
of
the
structures
and
coker
spring
itself.
So
I
would
say
it
has
a
fairly
low
likelihood
of
being
significantly
developed
in
the
future.
F
E
C
B
C
Yeah,
typically,
it's
yeah.
It
can't
extend
by
the
program
the
front
plane
in
the
house.
That's
well!
Let
me
say
that
again,
if
it's
attached,
there's
no
I,
don't
believe
there
is
a
requirement
that
it
be
beyond
behind
the
front
plane
of
the
house.
I.
Believe
we
limit
the
amount
of
frontage
that
can
be
in
some
newer
subdivisions
it.
There
is
a
like
planned
subdivisions.
We
have
some
specific
requirements
on
where,
where
the
garage
can
be,
but
it's
I
can
look
that
up
and
verify,
though,.
C
B
C
I
H
Have
just
a
few
brief
comments,
please
good
evening.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
attention
in
this
matter.
I
know
that
at
least
mr.
Brecht,
and
maybe
some
others
of
you
had
an
opportunity
to
drive
down
to
the
cul-de-sac
at
the
end
of
Dupree
and
I.
Think
you
will
agree
with
my
husband
and
I
that
it
truly
is
a
gym
within
the
city
of
Aiken.
We
we
are
incredibly
happy
to
have
found
property
there
and
to
be
a
part
of
the
community
that
resides
there.
H
H
H
Ownership
I
can
testify
that
no
one
is
taking
care
of
the
trees
located
therein.
However,
the
city
vacant
did
put
in
a
storm
sewer
and
it
runs.
We
have
storm
sewers,
running
on
either
side
of
our
property,
one
to
the
east,
on
the
girl,
spout
property
and
one
on
that
bride.
So
interesting,
little
tidbit
about
the
city.
E
G
G
When
I
looked
at
the
sign,
I
thought:
oh
boy,
that's
gonna
be
really
tight.
I
was
thinking
you
were
building
right
beside
the
house.
For
some
reason,
I
didn't
see
the
back
of
this
until
later
today,
when
I
was
not
there
now.
What
is
that
little
pad
looking
thing
behind
and
the
squares
I
mean
the
rectangle
that
says
new.
H
H
H
It
will
significantly
impact
that
and
I,
don't
know
exactly
where
it's
going
to
be,
because
I'm
waiting
to
hear
what
your
decision
is,
because
even
a
couple
feet
one
way
or
the
other
is
going
to
greatly
impact
that.
But
we
anticipate
that
that
this
driveway
will
not
exist
and
there
will
be
a
single
driveway
that
comes
in
closer
to
the
center
more
toward
the
west
of
the
property.
H
H
Well,
actually,
there,
the
one
that's
right
by
the
house,
which
I'm
told
needs
to
go
anyway,
which
just
makes
me
sick,
because
I
love
these
trees
and
then
there
actually
three
very
close
in
a
clump.
You
can
only
see
two
of
them
and
then
then
there's
one
just
a
hair
back.
That's
evidently
what
you
all
call
a
junk
tree.
H
H
G
H
B
H
The
house
is
built
in
1959,
so
that
means
there
are
very
few
closets
and
the
closets
that
are
there
are
very
small
and
that
connector
room
frankly,
will
be
mostly
a
hallway,
with
cabinets
and
she'll
be
on
either
side,
and
it
will
also
be
a
laundry
room.
I
do
I
am
firmly
convinced
that
the
the
portion
of
the
house,
that
is
on
the
east
side,
which
is
finished
in
now,
I,
can't
think
what
the
historic
it's
it's
wooden
board
siding.
It's
not
brick.
H
The
house
is
predominantly
brick,
but
that
little
section
on
the
east
side
is
done
in
wood
and,
having
visited
my
relatives
in
South
Carolina,
my
whole
life
I
can
recognize
a
carport.
It's
down
two
steps
from
the
house.
It
has
a
washer
and
dryer
in
the
far
end
and
it
has
a
small
half
a
bath
in
the
front
end
and
that's
what
my
grandfather's
house
looked
like
in
Spartanburg
and
that's
where
my
cousin's
house
is
all
look
like
now,
so
I'm
convinced
that
it
when
it
was
built
that
that
room
was
a
carport.
J
H
If,
if
it's
so
the
addition,
the
part
that
we
want
to
connect
to
the
carport
will
mean
that
we
can
walk
from
the
car
to
the
house
without
being
in
the
elements,
will
provide
storage
and
in
the
future.
Should
there
be
any
issues
of
accessibility
in
the
house,
it
will
provide
a
smooth
transition
into
the
main
level
of
the
house.
H
E
F
F
So
I'm,
if
you
contemplate
any
structure
that
that
preserves
the
plan
of
the
house
and
actually
extends
back
beyond
the
house,
because
when
I
went
back
there,
if
you
certainly
do
how
fall
off,
but
you,
you
probably
got
a
good
thirty
feet
from
the
front
plan
of
the
house
too.
It
may
only
be
a
single
wide
garage,
but
you
could
actually
build
in
an
enclosed
space,
say
15
feet
by
30
going
backwards,
which
would
accomplish
at
least
one
car
stores.
H
H
That
was
our
reason
for
choosing
the
carport
as
opposed
to
the
garage
so
that
the
walls
are
not
solid,
and
you
can't
tell
from
this,
but
the
the
the
slope
of
the
law
means
that
the
carport
will
actually
be
in
the
ground
there.
Will
the
the
walls
of
the
carport
will
be
retaining
walls
which
and
I
guess
I
can
say
that
in
this
company
much
of
the
water
that
comes
on
our
property
actually
comes
off
the
girl-scout
house
property
because
it
is
a
parking
lot.
H
There
is
no
there's
nothing
growing
on
it
at
all,
there's
no
vegetation!
So
when
it
rains
it's
uphill
and
all
that
water
comes
directly
down
right
in
the
area
that
you're
talking
about,
we
have
grass
there
and
every
time
it
rains
I
break
the
sand
off
the
grass.
So
the
the
carport
will
be
will
consist
of
some
retaining
walls
and
some
significant
drainage
to
stop
that
drainage.
H
Like
a
shed
row
sort
of
thing
so
that
it
doesn't
have
a
high
peak
facing
the
street
so
that
it
is
kind
of
a
as
minimalist
of
structure
as
we
can
put
there
so
that
it
doesn't
in
coach
on
the
street,
because
we're
very
concerned
that
we
don't
want
a
big
ugly
building
that
close
to
the
street.
That
will
impair
Dupre
Street
in
the
way
it
feels.
And
so
that's
what
we've
done
to
alleviate
the
concern
that
you
have
yeah.
F
I
guess,
with
regards
to
runoff
from
an
adjacent
property,
you
certainly
have
legal
recourse.
That
would
encourage
you
to
do
that,
because
every
every
property
owner
is
required
to
contain
their
water
in
a
proper
way.
So,
if
you're
getting
something,
that's
inappropriate
running
a
new,
your
thing,
I
can
point
you
in
the
right
direction.
J
F
Yeah
I
guess
the
board
is
challenged
with
you
know,
trying
to
come
up
with
an
accommodation
for
someone
that
has,
in
this
particular
case,
a
hardship
in
an
area.
That's
not
really
properly
laid
out
or
zone
for
you
to
have
what
it
is
that
you
would
love
to
have,
which
is
a
two-car
carport,
to
attach
your
house
that
creates
extra
storage
and
all
that
the
challenge,
for
me
always
always
is
balancing.
What's
a
nice
to
have,
and
what's
a
true
need
to
have,
that
least
gives
you
some
alleviation
for
your
situation.
F
J
F
You're,
just
in
a
tough
tough
situation
with
your
property
layout,
the
topography
and
meeting
all
your
wants
list.
I
guess
is
the
is
the
trick.
So
that's
why
I
had
wondered
if
you
just
considered
even
just
a
straight
end
carport,
you
know
that
would
be
something.
I
would
be
a
lot
more
prone
to
giving
you
a
side
variance
on
to
at
least
get
one
and
again
as
deep
as
you
could
make
it.
F
G
H
G
E
E
F
A
H
A
E
F
One
last
comment
that
the
actual
fall,
though
back
to
the
Chairman's
common,
the
actual
fall
on
a
carport
and
creating
some
sort
of
flooring,
or
something
like
that
on
that
30
feet.
You
do
have
some
gentle
slope
there,
but
that's
not
precipitous
drop.
It's
not
you
really
get
to
that.
Retaining
area
straight
back
that
you
really
encountered
the
massive
fall
off
at
least
as
I
walked
it
anyway.
Oh
I,.
F
H
Carport
or
that
current
side
of
the
house,
it's
probably
six
feet
above
the
ground
as
it
is,
and
it's
more
precipitous
as
you
go.
It
drops
off
more
in
that
direction,
so
you
know
you're
you're,
saying
that
we
would
build
a
carport
and
we
would
have
to
build
up
the
ground
and
whatever
we
did
six
or
more
feet,
and
that
would
also
I
mean
I'm
just
running
it
through
my
heart.
In
my
mind,
why
didn't
we
think
of
this?
H
A
H
F
I
The
property
has
recently
been
renovated
from
a
nice
home
to
a
fine
home
and
its
new
owners.
Nancy
and
Mark
Coleman
are
people
of
good
taste
and
they're.
Also
people
of
good
neighbor,
good
responsibility,
in
other
words,
I,
know
that
they're
not
going
to
throw
up
something
over
there.
That
is
going
to
be
tacky
they're
going
to
do
it
right,
they're
willing
to
do
that.
I
I
The
changes
that
are
being
proposed
have
been
carefully
thought
out,
and
they
also
are
going
to
be
in
keeping
with
other
neighborhood
designs,
some
of
which
have
been
granted
variances
and
some
of
which
have
been
constructed
prior
to
requirements
that
are
now
in
force,
and
so
in
keeping
with
that,
we
feel
like
that.
It's
not
going
to
be
that
different
from
what
we
are
seeing
now.
The
property
and
the
three
properties
on
the
Dupree
circle
are
somewhat
isolated
from
the
Dupree
place.
Street
per
se,
it's
kind
of
goes
into
its
own
little
environment
down
there.
I
We
have
personally
spoken
with
the
other
two
homeowners
on
either
side
of
our
property
and
adjacent
to
Nancy
and
marks
property.
You
have
and/or
should
have
on
record
I
may
have
misunderstood,
but
there
should
be
a
record
of
a
letter
that
dr.
Fred
and
Barbara
Morgan
Andreea,
have
said
regarding
this:
making
their
wishes
known,
which
to
my
knowledge,
is
approval
and
the
homeowner
on
the
other
side
of
our
property,
which
is
also
phases
over,
has
received
some
variances,
and
they
also
have
have
no
objection
to
having
this.
I
I
It
is,
it
is,
and
one
of
the
reasons
for
that
is
that
there
have
already
been
things,
but
all
of
these
are
in
keeping
with
with
the
aesthetics
of
this,
but
there
have
already
been
things
that
have
changed
and
a
one
answer.
Your
question.
In
the
last
week
for
the
last
50
years,
at
least
this
house
had
that
that
has
been
an
enclosure,
a
part
of
the
house
that
Lord
boarded
in
part
of
the
house.
So
it
would
have
been
at
some
time
before
that
I
couldn't
be
sure.

K
I'm
bill
good
Farb
I
live
at
six
four
five
Coker
Springs
Road,
which
is,
if
you
look
across
the
subject,
property
bar
and
look
to
the
north
northeast.
It's
the
rhythmic
roofline
home.
There
was
stable
just
above
it
and
we
I
first
I
want
to
say
that
I
support
everything
that
mrs.
Hayes
said
about
Mark
and
Nancy
Carmen,
very
nice
neighbors,
fine
people,
I
I,
can't
add
anything
but
mrs.
Hayes
didn't
already
say
and
I
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
I
am
in
favor
of
what
they'd
like
to
do
to
go
backwards.
K
That's
something
I
thought
of
coming
back
over
that
over
that
cliff.
But
what
my
wife
and
I
went
through
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
shoring
up
our
property
and
putting
it
at
stairs
to
go
from
Coker
springs
up.
I!
Don't
wish
that
on
anyone
buh-burn
boulders
in
and
cranes
and
I
know
I'm
fully
supportive
of
what
they'd
like
to
do
and
I
hope
you
will
agree
any.
A

But
if
it
looks
like
the
neighborhood,
which
is
a
very
special
group
of
neighbors
back
to
our
houses
and
everything,
if
that's
not
going
to
offend
them,
I
think
that's
good
and
I
didn't
imagine
them
coming
in
the
opposite
side
of
the
of
the
driveway.
So
that
does
make
a
little
more
sense.
Now,
when
I
first
read
the
report.
