and
to
the
city

of
a

noticeable
the
municipal
building
notice
board
at
least
24
hours
before
this
meeting
agenda
sheets
were
mail
or
email
to
interested
parties.
As
a
reminder,
it
is
unlawful
for
any
person
given
testimony
to
this

knowingly

A
Any
person
that
wish
to
receive
copies
of
the
day's
presentation
can
contact
the
planning
department
by
their
phone
number.
Any
person
I
wish
to
have
conversation
with
the
board.
We
ask
that
you
occupy
the
podium
in
front
of
us
and
please
state
your
name
and
your
address
to
the
board.
You
have
received
copies
of
two
sets
of
minutes
of
the
last
two
meetings
we'll
deal
first,
with
the
meeting
minutes
from
the
August
28th
meeting.
Are
there
any
Corrections
or
additions
I.
A
Think
for
the
board's
information
I
had
one
comment
and
I'd
like
for
the
planning
department
to
explain.
I
noted
that
in
the
minutes
we
spoke
in
terms
of
the
southwest
corner
of
the
property,
the
southeast
corner
of
the
property
and
the
northwest
corner
of
the
property.
We
resolved
the
exact
location
but
I
like
for
the
staff
to
explain
the
reason
for
the
final
designation,
which
will
be
listed
in
two
minutes.
So.
B
For
this
is
a
regarding
the
small
cell
installation
adjacent
to
the
Walgreens
side
on
Richland
Avenue
West,
we
noted
several
different
locations.
It
depends
based
on
the
reference
point
from
which
you're
talking
so
in
some
cases
we
described
it
as
the
northwest
corner
of
pepper,
Hill,
Way
and
Richland
Avenue
West.
Otherwise,
we've
described
it
as
the
southeast
corner
of
the
subject
property,
which
is
the
Walgreens
site.
So
we
went
back
through
and
tried
to
make
sure
that
the
reference
points
and
the
directions
were
correct
within
the
minutes.
A
In
proper
birth,
second,
it
then
properly
motion
annum
and
seconded
that
we
approve
the
August
28th
minutes
with
necessary
Corrections.
Do
we
have
any
discussion,
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
so
by
raising
the
right
hand,
the
motion
is
carried
with
mr.
Doherty
is
not
present
and
not
voting.
I
now
call
your
attention
to
the
minutes
for
the
September
25th
meetings
and
I.
Had
one
correction
are
in
the
minutes
they
spoke
up.
G
is
not
like
for
the
staff
to
comment
on
what
is
G
is.
B
We
were,
we
were
talking
about
GIS
with
in
reference
to
verifying
a
distance.
The
GIS
is
there
Gerry
geographic
information
system,
so
it
means
that
we
were
measuring
from
an
electronic
airflow
photo
at
the
time
that
was
geospatially
referenced.
We
could
get
a
relatively
close
distance,
so
we
made
sure
to
reference
geographic
information
systems,
as
opposed
to
just
using
the
GIS
of
radiation.
B
D
A
A
A
With
that
we'll
move
directly
into
our
new
business
that
the
circulation
of
the
final
orders
is
the
old
business
I
call
your
attention
to
application,
1993
0:05,
a
petition
for
a
variance
to
section
4.2.1
of
the
zoning
ordinance
regarding
a
side
yard
setback
to
allow
the
reconstruction
of
a
legal
non-conforming
carport,
and
this
is
for
property,
that
zone
ras
8
and
is
located
at
336,
charleston
street
south
east
to
the
city.
Has
this
been
properly
posted?
It
has
any
inquire
that
you
wish
to
share
with
the
board
yeah.
Thank
you
presentation.
B
So
the
subject
property,
as
you
described,
is
at
336
Charleston,
Street
southeast.
This
is
on
the
east
side
of
Charleston
Street
between
South
boundary
and
Carlton
Avenue.
The
subject
property
properties
around
it
were
all
developed
around
the
the
1950
mark,
some
before
some.
After
almost
all
of
the
the
subject,
properties
in
this
block
are
just
two
just
over
a
quarter
of
an
acre
and
built
with
similar
construction
most,
if
not
all,
properties
with
on
that
on
that
block
did
not
have
garages
at
the
time
the
the
properties
were
constructed.
B
The
subject
property
has
a
carport
and
sunroom
that
you
see
on
the
photo
provided
by
staff
here
in
front
of
you.
Maybe
this
is
on
the
north
side
of
the
residence
left.
If
you
look
at
the
house
from
Charleston
Street
the
the
existing
carport-
and
you
can
see
this-
the
kind
of
the
concrete
pad
underneath
it
sits
roughly
two
and
a
half
feet
from
the
property
line
which
isn't
to
current
standard
for
a
side
yard
setback
which
is
ten
feet
in
the
district
in
the
rs8
district.
B
The
applicant
would
like
to
remove
and
replace
the
carport
by
expanding
the
size
of
the
the
size
of
the
sunroom
that
you
could
kind
of
see
there.
The
sunroom
starts
with
those
two
windows
that
you
can
see
on
the
photo
to
the
left
side
of
the
house
by
expanding
that
little
enclosed
space,
and
then
it
would
be
decreasing,
essentially
the
size
of
the
carport,
but
would
require
removal
and
replacement
of
the
carport.
The
pertinent
sections
of
the
code
are
that
section.
B
We
have
a
provision
that
allows
maintenance
of,
or
it's
made
more
specific
alterations
and
additions
to
non-conforming
structure
structures,
and
that
section
says
that
you
can
alter
or
add
to
a
non-conforming
structure
as
long
as
that
does
not
increase
the
nonconformity
of
the
building
or
structure
to
the
building
setback
line,
height
limitations
yard
or
other
provisions
regulating
size
and
placement
of
buildings
and
structures.
So
you
can
make
changes
to
legal
non-conforming
portions
of
structures.
As
long
as
you
don't
increase
the
nonconformity.
B
And
so
in
this
case
a
variance
staff
would
interpret
there's
a
variance
request
required
to
completely
remove
and
replace
the
existing
carport
and
sunroom,
particularly
the
carport.
The
carport
is
the
portion
of
the
structure
that
does
not
be
the
10-foot
setback
requirement,
so
variance
would
be
requested
to
place
it
back
in
its
current
location.
If
reconstructed
thank.
A
D
D
B
I,
don't
have
it
up
here,
you
know,
yeah,
you
have
a
drawing
that
it's
submitted,
that
I
don't
have
it's
an
exhibit.
A
1
to
the
3rd
4th
page
exhibit
a
you
kind
of
have
a
grid
provided
to
you
and
I.
Don't
have
it
up
here
and
they
were
hitting.
My
apologies
that
you
have
the
the
carport
itself
is
about
currently
about
two
and
a
half
feet
off
the
property
line.
The
carport
itself
is,
then,
an
additional
about
roughly
about
15
feet
wide.
B
So
once
you
so
at
the
the
existing
sunroom,
you
are
roughly
seventeen
and
a
half
feet
off
the
property
line.
The
side
setback
is
10
feet,
so
you
could
make
up
to
essentially
a
7
foot,
expansion
sum
and
a
half
foot
expansion
of
the
sunroom,
for
instance,
or
the
helm
it's
still
or
any
structure
and
be
compliant
with
the
setback.
B
E
B
It'd
still
be
roughly
a
two
and
a
half
feet
from
the
property
line.
Essentially
the
they're,
not
the
applicants
not
requesting
to
move
how
close
the
existing
structure
is
to
the
property
line.
They'd
be
matching
that
that
existing
very
small
setback,
they're
just
kind
of
redistributing
the
space
occupied
by
the
the
the
carport
in
the
sunroom
roughly
the
same
footprint
is
roughly
the
same
footprint
as
currently
exist.
D
F
John,
how
many
other
structures
in
the
neighborhood
non-conforming
carport
some
structures
are
there
that
would
come
up
to
the
property
line.
I
saw
one
other
one
and
I
think
the
one
in
the
photograph
to
the
right
right.
The
south
is
also
right
up
on
the
property
line.
Did
you
make
any
count
of
how
many
other,
including.
B
The
subject
property
I
think
we
have
five
carports
that
are
almost
of
an
identical
nature
that
were
built
to
a
property
line
within
the
block
bounded
by
east
boundary.
South
boundary
charleston
street
in
colleton,
difficult
looking
into
backyards
and
I
tried
to
look
on-air
photos
typically
in
the
in
the
backyard
small
accessory
structures
get
obscured
by
tree
foliage,
but
just
riding
around
the
block.
B
I
would
estimate,
there's
probably
at
least
an
additional
five
accessory
buildings
and
rear
yards
that
don't
meet
set
bag
that
are
legal,
non-conforming,
they're,
clearly
older
structures
that
have
been
there
for
a
long
time.
So
it's
it
wasn't
uncommon
at
some
point
in
this
area
to
have
instructors
extend
near
or
to
the
property
line.
B
G
336
Charleston
Street
southeast
Aiken,
South
Carolina,
I
love.
It
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
additional
questions.
I'm
just
trying
to
improve
the
look
of
the
property.
I
think
the
carport
is
probably
as
old
as
the
house,
which
is
here.
I
was
born
and
I
just
wanted
to
extend
the
roofline
from
the
sunroom
over
and
put
a
new
top
on
this
on
the
carport,
because
it's
metal
and
it's
been
repaired
and
the
cement
pad
is
badly.
Cracked
and
I
think
gravel
would
look
better
than
the
existing
cement
crack.
G
C
G
There
is
a
licensed
contractor
in
Massachusetts
and
he's
going
to
go
I'm
eventually
I'm
halfway
between
mass
and
here
but
I'm,
going
to
retire
and
live
in
this
house
down
here.
So
he's
going
to
do
this
little
sunroom
is
moldy,
wet
nasty
and
unusable
at
this
point,
so
we're
just
going
to
convert
it
to
a
additional
room
space
and
put
another
couple
of
feet
on
it
and
just
bring
out
the
roof.
The
roof.
That's
already
on
top
of
the
Sun
roof.
Excuse
me
the
sunroom
and
just
extend
it
out
to
cover
the
carport.
Okay.
E
G
E
A
Know
normally
in
the
past,
we
have
asked
that
the
exterior
wall
facing
the
property
line
like
in
the
sunroom,
be
composed
of
material
that
increased
the
fire
rating,
but
since
you
have
a
carport
there
in
this
open
that
I
counted
when
I
stepped
off
with
more
than
22
feet
between
Europe,
your
house
and
the
house
next
door
until
that,
that
question
is
mute.
Pinning
there's
no
questions
in
this
time.
G
H
D
B
D
B
Not
in
the
historic
overlay
yeah,
so
it
doesn't
go
through
Design,
Review
I
believe
it
is
in
the
old
a
can
overlay,
but
that
allows
as
long
as
you're
not
doing
greater
than
fifty
percent
of
the
value
of
the
properties.
The
whole
property's
work
at
one
point:
it
doesn't
have
to
come
to
the
board
or
even
for
an
administrative
review.
Those
are
exempt
under
the
whole.
They
can
overlay
for
properties
outside
the
downtown
business
own
district
and.
B
E
B
H
Guess
maybe
one
final
question
for
the
city,
any
opinion
or
any
conjecture
from
the
city
in
terms
of
having
the
roofline
extend
to
two
and
a
half
feet
to
the
property
lines.
At
that
point,
the
space
between
the
roof
and
the
neighbor's
side
building
would
be
how
far
just
I'm
just
thinking
of
fire
and
not
now
right
now
you
have
a
break
with
the
carport,
so
we're
gonna
have
a
roof
line.
B
So
that
becomes
so,
if
you
kind
of
refer
to
the
building
code,
I
think
we
referenced
in
there.
The
building
code
just
under
standard
construction
typically
requires
a
15-foot
separation
between
single-story
properties
without
having
to
start
restrict
building
materials.
Openings
and
the
like
windows
doors,
those
sorts
of
things,
it's
20
feet
for
two-story
structures,
so
I
would
maybe
just
say
that
this
does
in
some
way,
potentially
if
they,
if
the
roofline
were
extended,
I
believe
it
would
be
treated
more
like
the
primary
structure
than
the
existing
metal
car
poor.
Would.
