The
lot
is
roughly
rectangular
in
shape
has
approximately
125
feet
deep
lot.
Width
varies
slightly
from
the
front
of
the
property
towards
the
roadway
at
96
feet
to
the
back
of
the
property
at
106
feet.
The
primary
structure
is
separated
from
the
rear
of
the
property
line
by
approximately
28
feet,
and
the
primary
structure
on
the
adjoining
lot
to
the
rear
of
the
applicant's
property
is
approximately
63
feet
from
the
rear
property
line.
F
F
Proposed
Masonry
wall
and
then
the
additional
six
feet
fence
panes
accumulating
in
an
eight
foot.
High
fence
in
the
rear
yard
fence
is
an
immediate
area
by
and
large
conform
to
maximum
fence,
height
requirements
or
exist,
as
legal
non-conforming,
most
Parcels
in
the
area
are
similar
similar
in
area
and
shape
to
the
applicant
slot.
The
primary
start
on.
Excuse
me,
the
primary
structure
on
the
lot
is
closer
to
the
rear
property
line
than
most
other
structures
on
the
lot
except
the
corner.
F
Similarly,
on
the
back,
except
for
the
corner,
Lots
here,
which
are
fairly
close
to
the
rear
property
lines
as
well
generally,
maximum
fence
height
requirements
have
been
established
for
two
reasons.
The
first
is
to
promote
a
standard,
aesthetic
for
residential
and
Commercial
development
within
the
city
of
Aitkin,
which
facilitates
the
creation
of
a
convenient,
attractive
and
harmonious
Community,
while
providing
for
adequate
light,
air
and
open
space.
The
second
is
to
excuse
me
preserve
line
of
sight
along
roadways
and
sidewalks
to
minimize
accidents
that
may
occur
as
a
result
of
reduced
sight,
distance.
F
F
This
is
the
I
believe
west
side
of
the
property
kind
of
depicting
the
existing
conditions
of
the
fence
in
the
side
yard,
as
it's
a
little
bit
hard
to
see
in
this,
but
in
the
pictures
there
is
also
it
appears
to
be
some
sort
of
masonry
portion
of
the
wall.
Excuse
me
of
the
fence
and
then
additional
wood,
paneling
atop.
It
just
kind
of
a
close-up
picture
of
the
also
the
front
portion
of
the
fence
there.
The
pre-existing
fence.
F
B
G
The
main
reason
that
I
wanted
to
have
the
fence
a
little
bit
higher
is
because,
where
I
set
next
to
my
pool,
my
neighbor
has
a
a
deck
off
of
their
back
patio
area
and
I'm
sitting.
There
I
have
a
silt
fence
a
silt
thing
that
is
up
at
six
foot
already
just
temporarily.
Until
you
know,
I
got
a
grueling
on
whether
I
could
do
a
six
foot
or
higher
and
we
can
see
each
other.
G
H
H
G
An
existing
forefoot
chain
link
fence
and
the
I
don't
know
who
did
it,
but
they
put
those
skinny
cinder
blocks
along
the
the
edge
of
the
fence
line
and
built
beds.
Flower
beds
right
there
at
the
fence
line
and
over
time
the
the
soil,
the
mulch
in
soil,
is
turned
composted
and
turned
into
more
soil
and
it's
kind
of
slopes
down
into
their
their
property.
G
So
if
there
is
enough
rain
or
whatever
I've
already
removed
those,
you
know
trying
to
you
know
clear
the
fence
line
of
trees
and
and
everything,
and
it
can
cause
erosion
if
there's
enough
water,
which
we
have
had
quite
a
bit
of
rain
since
those
are
removed
and
I
would
have
to
dig
that
whole
area
out
and
slope
at
side
slightly.
But
there's
not
enough
room
in
between
the
two
properties
to
be
able
to
do
that,
because
my
pool
is
like
probably
about
three
or
four
feet
off
of
the
fence
line.
H
H
G
H
G
B
A
G
G
My
that
little
area,
that
is
the
side,
is
a
patio
a
little
bit
of
a
raised
patio
area
and
there's
steps
down
to
the
pool
area,
which
is
the
level
that
I
would
mainly
be
at
and
I,
can
see
straight
across
and
and
see
Mr
Houston
across
there
and
wave
it,
but
then
also
on
the
other
side
of
that
area.
There's
a
couple
of
steps
down
from
the
pool
area.
D
G
G
G
D
G
Sir,
that
is
correct.
Actually
Mr
Houston
had
already
purchased
like
a
Bamboo
privacy
thing
that
you
could
put
up
on
a
fence
that
goes
much
higher
than
that
for
privacy
and
their
elderly,
and
you
know
retired
and
I
said
sir.
You
can.
If
this
you
know,
I'm
going
to
get
this
done
and
I
explained
everything
and
gave
them
a
copy
of
the
drawing
and
and
explained
everything
that
I
wanted
to
do,
and
I
told
him
that
he
could
return
that
to
the
store
if
he
wanted
to.
A
G
H
A
D
E
D
C
H
She
can
control
it
with
the
amount
of
blocks
that
she's
putting
in
I'm
still
a
little
squirrely
on
on
all
that
offense
should
go
to
the
ground
and
all
that
I
think
she
can
apply
a
six
foot
fence
and
if
she
needs
a
for
foundational
reasons
or
soil
erosion
reasons,
a
foot
of
block
as
a
base
I
think
would
be.
I
actually
would
save
her
money
on
the
Block
work.
Okay,.
C
C
I
could
see
where
she
would
come
up
want
the
eight
foot
because
having
I
went
over
there
Sunday
to
look
at
it
and
she
and
I
went
into
the
backyard
and
you
could
stand
there
and
wave
at
the
neighbors
really
as
plain
as
day
like
they
were
sitting
routine
here
in
the
wall
and
I
think
for
foreign
privacy.
She
would
want
to
have
the
the
extra
Foot
eight
foot.

The
subject-
property
1003
collagen
Avenue
Southeast-
is
a
0.36
acre
lot
located
at
the
southeast
corner
of
Carlton
Avenue
Southeast
and
Marlborough
Street
Southeast,
the
property
Zone
residential
single
family,
RS
15
and
developed
as
a
detached
single-family
residence.
The
request
is
for
a
variance
to
zoning
ordinance,
section
421
to
permit
a
nine
foot
front
yard
setback
to
allow
the
applicant
to
construct
an
addition
to
the
primary
structure.
F
In
the
case
of
any
lot
that
adjoins
two
or
more
streets
yards
abutting
streets
are
treated
as
front
yards
pursuant
to
section
421
of
the
city's
owning
ordinance.
All
structures
on
Lots
zoned
rs-15
must
be
set
back
from
the
front
property
line
20
feet.
The
existing
structure
is
approximately
12
feet
from
the
prop
from
the
prop.
Excuse
me,
the
property
line
along
Marlborough
Street
Southeast,
and
it's
considered
legal
non-conforming
based
on
the
location
of
the
primary
structure
on
the
property.
F
The
lot
is
irregular
in
shape
and
due
to
its
location
at
the
corner
of
Carlton,
Avenue,
Southeast
and
Marlboro.
Street
Southeast
is
considered
to
have
two
front
two
front
yards.
The
lot
is
approximately
150
feet
wide
and
varies
from
approximately
75
feet,
deep
at
the
intersection
to
150
feet
at
the
southern
portion
of
the
property.
F
B
F
Variation
exists
regarding
the
development
of
this
single-family
residential
neighborhood
development
along
Carlton,
Avenue,
Southeast
and
Marlboro
Street
Southeast,
and
the
immediate
area
generally
consists
of
early
to
mid
20th
century
era.
Single
family
construction
on
Lots
deeper
than
they
are
wide.
Other
Parcels
in
the
vicinity
are
also
irregular
in
shape.
Most
homes
in
the
area
vary
between
1300
square
feet,
upwards
of
2200
square
feet.
F
Generally,
the
requirement
of
the
20-foot
yard
setback
is
established
for
two
reasons.
The
first
is
to
promote
a
standard,
aesthetic
and
open
space
for
single-family
development
within
the
city
of
Aitkin.
The
second
is
to
preserve
visibility
and
to
maintain
line
of
sight
for
roadway
users
and
pedestrians,
the
structure's
location.
Sorry,
the
proposed
Edition
with
the
proposed
Edition,
the
structures
location,
would
meet
the
distance
requirements
for
intersection
visibility.
F
F
Here
our
Zone
light
industrial
Li
and
there's
also
some
residential
single
family
rs-10
on
the
opposite
corner
here
to
the
north,
exhibit
D,
and
your
agenda
packet
contains
photographs
of
the
property
taken
by
staff
depicting
the
existing
conditions
of
the
property.
This
is
the
Colleton
Avenue
side,
I
believe
looking
East.
F
This
is
the
side
where
the
proposed
Edition
will
be
looking
South
down,
Marlborough
Street
Southeast,
the
pre-existing
deck
there
and
I
believe
the
addition
would
be
somewhere
in
this
area
here,
but
it
would
make
the
home
closer
than
it
currently
is
to
the
roadway.
Excuse
me
the
property
line,
so
it
would
extend
out
a
little
bit
here
farther
into
here,
basically
approximately
nine
feet
from
the
property
line.
F
It's
just
another
picture
of
our
notice
on
the
Marlboros,
Street
side
and
I
believe
they're
also
proposing
an
addition
in
this
set
section
of
the
home
as
well
per
the
site
plan.
It
would
be
about
I,
think
11
and
a
half
feet
from
the
property
line,
but
the
closest
that
the
home
would
get
with
the
proposed
Edition
would
be
nine
feet.
Thus,
the
reduced
setback
to
nine
feet.
F
D
F
C
F
F
So
I
believe
the
property
is
located
in
the
old
Aiken
overlay
District.
So
any
significant
changes
to
the
exterior
of
the
structure
that
are
visible
from
a
public
right-of-way
are
also
subject
to
design
review
board
considerations,
so
I
believe
now
depends
on
whether
or
not
I
think
it's
a
contributing
property
or
not,
but
I.
Think
regardless.
It
was
enough
to
submit
some
application
to
the
design
review
board
for
approval.
F
I'm
not
sure
they
actually
might
have
I
believe
this
originated
with
with
the
design
review
board,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
they
have
finalized
that
yet
or
not
I
think
they're,
probably
as
far
as
I
know
they're
just
starting
here
getting
the
the
the
distance.
You
know
taken
care
of
first,
but
they
would
I
believe
they
would
be
subject
to
that
review
as
well.
Moving
forward.
F
C
F
C
F
F
Oh
I
see
what
you're
saying
yeah
yeah
that
would
this
would
be
considered
part
of
the
yeah
that
would
be
included.
This
would
have
to
be
20
feet
from
okay
yeah.
Yes,
sir
again
it
may
not
be
I'm,
not
sure,
but
I
mean
at
this
point.
Given
the
age
of
the
structure,
it
would
be
considered
legal
non-conforming,
if
indeed
it
were
in
the
setbacks,
Nancy.
E
F
F
E
F
That
they're
trying
to
do
this
right,
I
believe
it's
is
that
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
it's
I
believe
it's
all
attached.
It's
not
detached
from
the
primary
structure,
so
we
would
consider
that
part
of
the
primary
structure.
Therefore,
it's
not
subject
to
the
the
cumulative
square
footage
of
detached
accessory
structures,
I
believe
it's
being
that
they're
extending
their
their
home.
So
that's
that
would
count
towards
the
total
square
footage
of
the
home,
not
any
of
the
other
structures
on
the
lot.
A
J
J
It
takes
it
back
to
25
feet
from
the
side
of
the
road.
I
realized
the
property
line
is
the
D
the
line
of
demarcation.
But
you
know
this
is
kind
of
different
than
extending
our
house
into
our
neighbor's
yard,
so
to
speak.
So
I
just
want
to
point
that
out-
and
you
know,
I
I
would
also
say
that
we've
been
a
little
reticent
about
investing
in
our
property
because
we
are
across
the
street
from
a
very
busy
rebar
plant
that
has
a
lot
of
traffic
on
the
road
we
have.
J
You
know
we're
regularly
woken
up
at
six
in
the
morning
with
rebar.
You
know
these
big
long
trucks
driving
down
the
street,
making
lots
of
noise-
and
you
know
I'm,
always
worried
that
they're
gonna.
They
turn
that
corner
and
I'm
always
worried.
They're
gonna
hit
the
front
of
the
house,
but
we
have
decided
to
take
the
plunge
and
have
gone
through.
You
know
a
lot
of
thinking
about
how
to
do
this
because
we
have
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
if
everybody
got
to
go,
look
at
our
house,
but
we
have
these
fabulous
trees.
J
J
This
was
what
we
thought
was
the
best
kind
of
optimal
economic
solution
that
fit
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
So
what
fit
the
character
of
Colleton
Avenue
excluding
the
rebar
plant-
and
you
know
the
the
the
street-
is
kind
of
progressing
slowly
down
towards
Charleston,
and
you
know
we
we
love
it.
We
love
that
house.
We
love
that
corner.
The
house
was
built
before
1958
I,
think
that
was
an
error
in
the
notes.
It
still
has
a
lot
of
character.
J
K
J
I,
don't
think
so
we
what
happened.
Our
our
contractor
is
Glenn
dehart,
who
told
me
to
behave
myself
when
I
came
in
here,
but
he
he
took
the
plans
to
the
building
department
for
a
building
permit
and
I.
Guess
the
the
building
department
said
we
needed
the
zoning
variant
so
that
that
was
the
process.
So
we
have
not
been.
We
do
have
elevations,
but
but
we
haven't
done
that,
so
we
will,
if
we
have
to
do
it,
we'll
do.
J
J
J
H
B
B
J
Yeah
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
I
I
ride
horses,
so
our
house
is
constantly
full
of
sand
because
right
now
we
use
that
side.
That's
we
use
that
side
entrance.
Although
now
I
understand
it's
our
friend
entrance
and
it
goes
straight
into
the
kitchen,
so
there's
no
mud
room
at
all,
so
it's
messy.
You
know
I,
can't
like
walk
around
Barefoot
in
the
house,
because
there's
always
sand
all
over
the
floor
from
my
boots.
That's
that
was
purely
to
put
in
mud
room.
A
H
J
Honestly
I
was
a
little
confused
when
I
when
I
I,
always
when
it
said
front
yard
setback,
I
thought
it
meant
the
Colleton
side
of
the
house.
So
I
didn't
even
realize
that
you
were
taught
that
there
was
a
problem
with
the
Marlboro
side
because
I
don't
think
I.
Think
of
that
as
a
side,
not
the
front.
Well.
J
J
The
only
thing
is
I'd
like
to
have
the
mud
room
near
the
kitchen,
because
you
know
how
you
walk
from
your
car
like
through
the
mudroom
and
then
drop
your
stuff
in
the
kitchen,
and
the
only
other
options
for
putting
a
mud,
room
and
kind
of
maintaining
where
that
addition
would
be,
would
be
to
put
a
mud
room
at
the
other
end
of
the
Edition.
But
then
you'd
have
to
walk
through
through
the
family
room
to
drop
stuff
in
the
kitchen.
So
I
don't
know
it's
it's
a
tricky
house.
J
F
Yeah
as
long
as
you,
so
the
the
ordinance
allows
the
continuation
of
of
non-conforming
structures
as
long
as
you're,
not
increasing
the
non-conformity.
So
essentially,
if
your
plan
did
not
go
any
closer
than
the
pre-existing
structure,
oops
sorry
plan
didn't
go
any
closer
than
the
pre-existing
structure.
The
12
foot.
H
J
K
J
J
H
J
J
A
K
J
K
So
if
you
were
coming,
if
you
decided
to
get
your
extension
off
the
back
of
the
house,
that
would
essentially
skirt
the
issue
of
the
encroachment
or
the
you
know
the
the
issue
that
we
have
with
the
setback
you're
still
from
a
design
standpoint
trying
to
design
something
where,
in
a
practical
stance,
you're
driving
with
groceries.
You
want
to
take
them
right
into
the
house
right
and
it's
pouring
rain
right.
J
Exactly
okay,
that's
that's
why
we
in
the
way
the
rooms
are
rooms,
are
the
bedroom
there's
a
kind
of
a
glass
door
on
one
side
and
there's
a
window
up
one
window
on
the
other
side
and
a
window,
it's
it
doesn't
have
a
good
light.
The
last
people
who
designed
the
house
there's
been
a
lot
of
changes
so.
B
J
J
A
K
To
that
the
reduced
front
yard,
building
setback
apply
only
to
the
primary
structure,
the
reduced
front
yard,
building
setback
apply
only
along
Marlborough
Street
Southeast
that
the
location
and
design
of
the
structure
be
consistent
with
the
submitted
site
plan
that
the
final
order
shall
run
with
the
land
and
that
the
final
order
shall
be
recorded
at
the
Aitkin
County
RMC
office.
A
second.
H
I
guess
just
following
up
on
my
line
of
questioning
with
the
petitioner
I
think
this
is
a
classic
case
of
the
Builder,
not
knowing
about
the
setbacks,
and
they
threw
something
that
I'm
sure.
Absolutely
no
doubt
will
be
nice,
but
I.
Don't
know
that
they've
been
challenged
to
try
to
figure
this
out
and
keep
it
within
the
the
the
standard
variants.
I'm,
certainly
willing
to
Grant
hardship,
but
I.
Don't
think
we're
to
the
point
that
we're
there
I,
don't
think
the
designer
or
the
or
the
Builder.
H
B
C
C
D
D
B
H
Again,
the
the
the
the
variance
as
it
would
read
now
is
actually
20
feet.
That's
it's
legal
non-conforming!
So
it's
already
abbreviated
to
12
and
now
it's
going
to
nine
and
I,
just
don't
I,
don't
I!
Just
don't
think
the
the
Builder's
been
challenged
to
figure
out
a
way
to
try
to
put
this
in
there
can't
do
it
I'm
happy
to
hear
this
petition
again
and
hear
hardship
and
would
be
certainly
willing
to
consider
a
variance
at
that
point,
but
without
effort
I'm,
not
gonna,
I'm
not
inclined
to
Grant
the
variance.
J
J
They
special
in
a
way
that
the
way
that
the
city
has
taken
down
trees
on
Williamsburg
looked
awful
I
tried
very
hard
to
figure
out
how
to
expand
that
house
without
taking
down
trees,
and
it's
very
difficult,
so
I
just
I
challenge
the
assertion
that
that
it
hasn't
been
exercised.
Now
you
can,
you
can
say,
don't
you
know,
don't
approve
it,
but
I'm.
H
Just
yeah
no
I
I
apologize.
If
you
understood
my
comment,
it
wasn't
that
you
I'm
sure
you
and
the
Builder
stood
over
this
at
Great
length
and
come
up
I'm
sure
with
a
beautiful
addition,
but
you
didn't
have
one
factor
if
you'd
known
about
the
setback,
when
you
started
back
of
your
original
plans,
you
might
have
been
able
to
come
up
right.
J
H
Something
and
that's
that's
our
only
point,
I
know
it
was
well
thought
out
and
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
logic
and
flow
that
went
with
it.
You
just
missed
one
variable
in
your
consideration
that
now
that
you
have
it,
you
may
be
able
to
very
easily
figure
out
a
way
to
stay
within
the
within
the
variants.
Now,
if
you
can't
I
would
be
certainly
willing
to
hear
a
hardship
at
that
petition.
At
that
point,
I.
J
E
You
know
that
requires
it
to
go
even
further
into
the
setback
and
they
could
do
what
they
need
to
do
and
it
wouldn't
what
what
they're
proposing
if
they
don't
get
it,
it
wouldn't
prohibit
the
use
of
their
property
and,
of
course,
number
four.
It
is
a
result
of
their
actions,
so
I
have
a
hard
time.
I
think
it
would
look
lovely
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
them
have
what
they
want,
but
I
just
don't
see
where
I
can
vote
for
that
because
of
the
criteria
that
has
to
be
met.
Thank.
L
K
F
A
A
A
F
F
F
I
believe
that
that
parcel
is
slightly
larger,
0.31
acres
in
lot.
Excuse
me
in
area
both
located
in
the
old
Aitkin
neighborhood
mid
block
on
the
Eastern
side
of
Williamsburg
Ave
Street
Southeast
between
Park
Avenue
Southeast
to
the
north
and
Carlton
Avenue
Southeast
to
the
South.
Both
properties
are
zoned,
RS,
10,
residential
single
family,
the
property
to
the
north.
With
the
address
230
Williamsburg
Street
Southeast
is
developed
as
a
detached
single-family
residence.
F
F
Pursuant
to
section
414c
of
the
city
of
Aiken,
zoning
ordinance
in
non-historic
residential
districts,
no
fencer
wall
on
any
portion
of
the
lot
May
exceed
six
feet
in
height
the
subject.
Property
properties
are
generally
rectangular
in
shape.
This
one
to
the
north
has
a
slight
indentation
to
it
toward
the
northeast
corner,
both
have
minimal
topography.
The
lot.
This
lot
in
question
to
the
north
230
Williamsburg
Street
Southeast
is
approximately
75
feet
wide
and
70.
Excuse
me
178
feet
deep,
however,
at
the
corner,
it
is
slightly
less
wide
there.
F
F
Fences
in
the
immediate
area
by
and
large
conform
to
maximum
height
requirements,
most
Parcels
on
the
Block
zone
for
residential
use
are
similar
in
area
and
shape.
The
subject
properties
are
one
of
the
few
on
the
lot.
Excuse
me
of
the
Lots
on
the
Block
that
a
but
lots
either
zoned
commercial
excuse
me,
are
either
used
or
zoned
commercial
in
use
on
multiple
sides
in
2021
the
property
was
subdivided
and
a
home
built
in
1918
was
really
relocated
to
the
site
for
use
as
a
detached
single-family
dwelling
on
the
lot
to
the
north.
F
Generally,
maximum
fence
height
requirements
have
been
established
for
two
reasons.
The
first
is
to
promote
a
standard,
aesthetic
for
residential
and
Commercial
development
within
the
city
of
Aitkin,
which
facilitates
the
creation
of
a
convenient,
attractive
and
harmonious
Community,
while
providing
for
adequate
light
air
and
open
space.
The
second
is
to
preserve
line
of
sight
along
roadways
and
sidewalks
to
minimize
accidents
that
may
occur
as
a
result
of
reduced
sight
distance
as
depicted
on
the
attached
zoning
map
found
in
your
gender
packet
in.
M
F
These
properties
are
generally
developed
as
detached
single-family
residential
dwellings
as
commercial
establishments
or
are
otherwise
undeveloped,
the
property
directly
to
the
east.
Let's
see,
one
here
is
zoned
residential
single
family
RS10,
but
is
commercial
in
use
and
exists
as
legal
non-conforming
due
to
the
age
of
the
neighborhood,
the
property
directly
to
the
South,
which
is
application?
The
second
application
2393019,
as
previously
mentioned,
is,
is
undeveloped.
Currently,
there
is
no
home
on
the
site,
but
is
also
owned
by
the
applicant.
F
This
is
a
site
plan
that
was
submitted
or
excuse
me,
a
survey
submitted
by
the
applicant,
but
just
kind
of
gives
you
an
illustration
of
the
approximate
dimensions
of
the
parcels
once
they
were
subdivided
approximately
two
years
ago,
but
this
portion
here
the
rear,
is
where
the
eight
foot
fence
is,
and
this
lot
here
is
the
the
lot
that
is
commercial,
zoned
residential.
But
but
currently
commercial
in
use
legal
non-conforming.
F
F
F
F
F
H
F
F
However,
this
one
is
currently
in
use
as
a
commercial
I,
believe
it's
an
alarm
system
company,
but
it's
it's
in
an
older
area
and
it's
yeah
the
use
predates
the
zoning
designation.
So
it's
again
legal
non-conforming,
as
you
can
see,
there's
quite
a
mix
of
different
uses
in
here.
So
it's
it's
one
of
those
sort
of
neighborhoods
that
are
in
transition.
F
The
tree
that's
correct,
sir
yeah,
the
it's
a
little
hard
to
see.
I
didn't
take
pictures
of
the
structure
itself
but
yeah.
Basically,
there
was
a
variance
granted
for
the
relocation
of
the
home
on
the
Northern
property
line.
This
gives
me
Northern
property
to
I
believe
it
was
decreased.
The
side
yard
setback
to
allow
for
the
porch
and
the
tree
to
remain
is.
F
C
F
F
F
I
believe
the
applicant
installed
it
so
presumably
it's
on
their
property
line.
Now,
theoretically,
properties
that
are
Zone
commercial
can
have
a
higher
fence,
but
the
issue
is,
while
the
use
is
commercial.
The
zoning
is
not
commercial
in
the
rear,
so
that's
kind
of
theoretically,
if
it
were
Zone
commercial
in
the
back,
that
person
could
put
up
a
taller
fence,
but
both
all
three
properties
is
on
residential,
so
it
doesn't
matter
necessarily
where
it
falls
on
the
property
line.
It
would
have
to
be
six
foot,
regardless
of
who
put
it
up
all.
F
E
F
That
I'm,
not
sure
I,
mean
it
I
believe
it's
it's
in
it's
in
use,
I
mean
I,
did
check
with
our
business
license
administrator,
and
it
appears
that
it
is
a
current
currently
used
as
a
business.
So
you
know
I,
don't
know
when
it
was
established,
but
yeah
I
mean
to
my
knowledge
it's
not
not
derelict
in
any
way.
It's
it's
been
maintained.
It
is
currently
used
as
a
as
a
business.
A
L
Yes,
two
things,
one,
the
variance
that
we
requested
for
the
tree.
It
was
designated
as
a
very
old
pecan
tree,
one
of
the
most
significant
ones
in
the
city.
After
talking
with
the
obverse
over
the
year,
he
said
the
tree
was
in
such
a
shape
that
it
would
not
last
very
long
if
we
put
the
driveway
in
and
it
would
damage
the
roof,
Roots
roots
and
shorten
the
life
of
the
tree.
So
he
was
in
agreement
that
we
could
take
the
tree
down.
B
L
L
Basically
went
ahead
with
my
recommendation
to
put
up
the
eight
foot
fence,
because
I
thought
that
it
was
going
to
add
to
the
Aesthetics
of
the
property
versus
the
basically
dilapidated
wife,
barbed
wire
top
chain
link
fence.
That
was,
there
didn't
think
it
was
going
to
be
that
much
of
an
issue
but
I
understand
the
regulations
and
the
ordinance
so
forth.
B
L
L
E
B
L
I,
don't
think
that
would
have
been
sufficient
enough
to
hide
the
there
are
no
windows
on
that
building.
It's
just
a
metal,
red
building
and
I.
Don't
think
we
could
have
done
anything
as
far
as
strawberry
and
trees
to
to
hide
that
ugly,
unsightly
building
really
in
the
property
in
that
in
that
area,.
L
Thank
you,
okay.
The
other
point
is
that
the
house
that
we
moved
there
he
was
showing
at
1918
I
think
it's
more.
Like
turn
of
the
century
house,
it
was
going
to
be
destroyed
and
we
moved
it
to
this
location.
So
in
so
in
fact,
we
have
saved
this
house
rehabbed
it,
but
we're
in
violation
of
the
fence
by
about
18
inches,
maybe.
D
A
A
E
To
permit
innate
foot
tall
fence
in
the
rear
only
of
the
property
which
is
owned
for
single
family
residents
and
it's
located
at
230
Williamsburg
Street
approval
of
the
parents
to
the
zoning
section.
4.1.4
c
is
to
permit
an
approximate
eight
foot
tall
fence
in
the
rear
of
the
property
Zone
residential
and
I
already
said
it
was
at
230
Williamsburg,
Street
Southeast,
the
eight
foot
tall
fence
shall
be
delimited
to
the
rear
property
line
and
not
exceed
the
length
approximately
of
61
feet.
E
A
E
E
B
E
In
other
Residential
Properties,
but
I
hear
that
it's
pretty
substantial
building
and
if
it
is
torn
down
another
residential
put
back
there
they'll
know
that
that
fence
is
eight
feet
when
they
buy
that
property
right.
So
it's
not
like
they're
doing
it
to
somebody.
That's
back
there
in
a
residential
location.
A
A
F
F
B
C
C
F
And
Baptist
Church
is
located
on
a
lot
zone:
residential
single
family
rs-15,
approximately
1.94
Acres,
an
area
at
the
corner
of
Hudson
Road
and
Greg
Avenue
Northwest
on
the
west
side
of
the
city.
The
request
is
for
a
variance
descending
ordinance
sections,
447e1,
447-e2a,
448a
and
4410c
to
permit
an
electronic
reader
board
sign
on
the
property.
F
The
property
currently
has
a
legal
non-conforming,
conforming
manual
reader
board,
sign
located
on
the
Eastern
side
of
the
property
in
the
road
right
away.
However,
in
order
to
better
identify
the
site
and
provide
messages
to
parishioners
and
the
public,
a
new
freestanding
reader
board
sign
is
proposed
to
replace
the
existing
sign.
F
Information
provided
by
the
applicant
about
the
dimensions
and
design
of
the
proposed
sign
is
contained
in
exhibit
B
of
your
agenda
packet,
as
indicated
by
the
proposed.
Excuse
me
by
the
rendering
the
proposed
sign
is
not
is
a
non-monument
freestanding,
sign
approximately
32
square
feet,
an
area
that
will
include
an
electronic
reader
board,
which
totals
approximately
77
percent
of
the
area
of
the
sign,
since
Greg
Avenue
is
not
considered
a
main
arterial.
The
proposed
sign
cannot
contain
a
reader
board
by
right.
F
It's
an
electronic
reward.
The
subject
property
is
developed
and
utilized
as
a
church,
slash
religious
institution.
Currently,
the
message
is
displayed
on.
The
sign
must
be
manually,
changed
the
site's
development
and
use
predate
the
current
zoning
District
designation,
the
current
zoning
rs-15
limits
the
size
and
sign
typology
in
order
to
minimize
the
impact
to
surrounding
residential
districts.
F
F
F
F
F
F
M
M
A
E
F
F
F
E
F
C
F
There's
a
maximum
size,
the
sign
can
be
just
in
general,
in
a
residential
district,
now
they're
not
allowed
to
reader
board
by
right,
though
so
that's
that
would
be
required
in
the
variance
regardless.
Okay,
however,
reader
boards
are
all,
in
addition,
only
can
be.
Sixty
percent
of
the
total
sign
phase
I
wasn't
able
to
get
the
exact
measurement
of
the
reader
board
portion,
but
in
my
estimation
it
exceeds
that
as
well
yeah.
So,
theoretically,
they
could
reduce
this
overall
size
of
the
sign,
but
they
would
still
require
a
variance
for
the
proportion
of
it.
F
I
think
I
overestimated
my
initial
calculation,
but
it's
I,
I
wasn't
able
to
get
in
touch
with
the
Sign,
Company
or
I
was,
but
they
never
sent
that
information
to
me,
the
specific
sub-dimension,
if
you
will
the
it
it
divided
out,
you
know
so.
I
had
to
estimate
approximately
how
large
the
reader
board
was
relative
to
the
whole
sign.
Okay,.
E
F
Or
Justice,
not
not
the
support,
no
just
a
portion
that
has
like
text,
okay,
yeah,
which
I
don't
believe
this.
This
second
submission
is,
is
different
than
what's
in
your
agenda.
Packet
I
think
it's
basically
what
they've
what
was
previously
discussed
and
paid
for,
but
they
can
change
the
design
pending
the
additional
payment.
It
sounds
like.
F
Well,
so
it
sounds
like
in
in
speaking
with
the
applicant,
it
sounds
like
they
hadn't
come
to
some
agreement
with
with
the
Sign
Company,
whereby
the
funds
that
they
had
already
paid
them
would
they
could
just
go
ahead
and
change
the
size
of
it
and
change
the
design,
and
then
just
just
ask
for
the
variance
for
the
reader
board.
It
sounds
like
the
signed
company
is
unwilling
to
work
with
them
without
additional
money
so
as
submitted,
it
is
a
variance
to
the
overall
square
footage
of
it.
F
F
A
I
C
I
K
I
Yes,
for
our
conversation,
the
email
was
follow
up,
so
that's
where
I
guess
I
was
trying
to
jump
in
and
make
Clarity
after
hearing.
This
is
Duke's
questions
about
it.
So,
after
meeting
with
you
guys,
last
month,
I
spoke
with
them.
I
spoke
with
Excuse
me
them,
which
is
Steward
signs,
which
is
Mrs,
Angela,
Harold
who's,
the
representative
from
them,
and
then
also
with
Mrs
Diane
and
Sean,
from
Coastal
indooring
out
of
Moncks
Corner.
I
Who
will
be
installing
the
sign
pretty
much
making
sure
that
both
of
them
kept
in
contact,
because
I've
literally
had
to
follow
up
continuously
after
saying
that
I'll
get
a
call
back
from
Coastal
outdoor
Coastal
indooring
signs,
install
insulation
so
after
getting
in
touch
with
Mrs
Angela.
Finally,
having
discussion
with
her
on
this
past
Thursday
around
noon,
sharing
with
her
what
you
guys
recommendation
was
for
us
and
what
she's
been
able
to
willing
to
do.
She
was
talking
about
going
back
and
forth.
I
think
she
talked
with
them.
They
didn't
get
back
with
her.
I
Well,
after
talking
with
her,
she
said
the
only
thing
that
she
can
do
after
talking
to
her
management
is
that
once
we
completely
paid
for
the
sign,
which
was
with
the
shipping
and
everything
included
from
that,
which
was
the
remaining
balance
about
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
which
we
went
ahead
and
took
care
of
that
then
pretty
much
we
could.
They
could
not
change
it
because
change
make
adjustments,
because
it's
already
been
printed
as
always
to
the
four
the
size
of
the
of
the
logo,
that
information
and
then
also
the
LED
portions.
I
It
was
already
you
know
set,
so
the
only
thing
they
could
do
is
with.
We
would
have
to
return
it
and
then,
after
returning
it
paying
the
fee
of
the
five
thousand
dollars,
then
they
would
create
a
new
sign
to
signify
the
four
by
Six
Dimensions
that
you
guys
will
work
with
us
with
in
which
they
will
give
a
give
us
a
portion
of
a
refund
towards
that,
and
then
whatever
the
charge
would
be
for
the
new
existing
sign.
So
pretty
much.
I
You
know
she
just
kind
of
gave
didn't
give
the
exact
numbers
of
how
much
that
would
be,
but
that's
what
they're
willing
to
do
and
then
they
will
ship
out
the
new
sign
again.
That
probably,
would
take
the
same
amount
of
time
it
took
for
us
to
get
the
original
sign,
which
is
about
about
a
month
about
two
months.
Two
months.
K
K
Like
there's
a,
if
you
agreed
to
that
situation,
it
would
be
conforming
to
the
six
by
four
with
a
reduced
size,
LED
area.
So
if
that
was
the
case,
if
you
chose
to
to
pay
that
five
thousand
dollars
and
recoup
some
of
your
money
in
the
refund
that
they've
pitched,
then
you
wouldn't
have
to
make
the
application
aside
from
the
LED
portion
or
that
it
sounds
like
that
solution
would
conform,
am
I
understanding
that
correctly.
If.
F
The
if
the
the
if
the
design
was
such
that
the
the
reader
board
portion
was
in
the
reduction
of
the
LED,
was
reduced
down
to
60
percent.
That
would
be
fine.
They
would
still
need
a
variance
to
have
the
reader
board,
though
right
in
a
residential
district,
yeah
right,
okay,
but
conceivably,
it
could
reduce
you
know
or
eliminate
two
of
two
of
the
four
sections
that
they're
seeking
really
from
again
and
if
they
redesigned
it
to
a
monument
signed
to
you.
As
part
of
that,
you.
M
F
K
Offer
yes
at
all,
none
at
all
well,
and
the
first
thing
that
jumped
out
at
me
is
she's
willing
to
go
to
management,
see
if
it
can
be
returned,
but
then
is
also
coming
up
with
a
number
to
say
at
the
same
time
and
then
also
saying
I'll
do
anything
to
help
well.
This
is
not
helpful
to
ask
them
for
more
money
and
a
complete
region
on
top
of
that,
they
say
in
their
own
zoning
restrictions
that
they
have
built-in
controls.
Well,
that
failed.
H
H
Was
of
our
opinion
that
a
generic
eight
by
four
can
of
which
I've
purchased
many
of
those
is
very
generic
size.
In
fact,
it's
your
header
acrylic
had
already
been
graphically
labeled
right,
I,
get
that
that
ain't
five
thousand
dollars
worth
of
cost
that
that's
that's
a
reusable
component.
Those
Graphics
can
be
stripped
right.
Well,
I
mean
I,
don't
know
how
they
did
it,
but
I
I'm
10
years
out
of
the
business,
but
you
know
maybe
they
somehow
have
printed
it
instead
of
vinyl.
H
B
H
Know
in
anticipating
some
sunk
costs,
you
know
graphics
and
time
spent
on
the
original
design
and
that
type
thing,
but
but
Freight
Freight
on
something
you
haven't
received
yet
yep
making
you
pay
for
something
that
you
don't
want,
so
that
you
so
they
can
ship
it
to
you
so
that
you
can
then
return
it
right.
I'm
I'm,
not
following
this
bouncing
ball
at
all.
H
K
I
I
I
I
I
Mr
coward,
as
it
relates
to
what
the
amount
that
she
said
we
so
we
need
the
rest
of
the
money
in
order
for
us
to
go
through
with
the
next
process,
which
means
we
paid
the
remain
a
balance
which
was
the
13
000
or
so
to
complete
the
balance.
So
then,
now,
based
upon
after
this
meeting
after
I,
have
presented
to
you
guys,
what
they
are
willing
to
offer
is
for
them
to
ship
the
sign
back
to
Steward
signs
with
the
cost
of
five
thousand
dollars.
I
K
I
So
in
so
he
so
in
conversation
you
know
it
was,
you
know
pretty
much.
It
wasn't
even
too
much
focus
on
the
city
ordinance.
Once
I
went
after
the
after
this
meeting
and
went
back
to
to
my
office
and
looked
at
the
original
contract
on
the
back
of
it.
It
then
States
and
shows
where
it
says
that
the
buyer.
I
Remember
that
that
the
installer
would
take
care
of
the
variants
and
getting
all
of
that
you
won't
have
to
worry
about
anything.
Pastor
Robinson,
Mr
Raymond
will
make
sure
that
it's
taken
care
of
they'll
talk
to
the
city.
The
only
thing
you
guys
are
going
to
be
worried
about
is
where
you
want
the
sign
to
go.
A
I
K
I
Cutting
the
sign
down,
not
cutting
the
sign
down
by
adjusting,
and
so
when
I
called
the
installer
back
to
see
you
know
have
they
spoken
with
the
signage
company?
Oh,
we
haven't
gotten
contact
with
it.
I
haven't
gotten
anything
from
them
yet,
but
let
me
talk
to
someone
else
to
Sean
the
installer.
So
once
we
talk
talk
with
Mr
Sean
Mr
Sean
was
like
yeah.
She
told
me
that
he
spoke
with
you
all
and
they
were
trying
to
work
something
out
to
see
what
can
be
done.
I
I
So,
as
always,
we'll
give
you
a
call
back
we'll
let
you
know
follow
up
so
so.
The
last
the
last
again
conversation
agreement
with
Miss
Angela.
What's
the
day,
two
I
mean
I
appreciate.
You
know
what
she's
you
know
done,
but
she
was
supposed
to
send
me
this
email
ever
since
Thursday
last
week
and
I
just
got
the
call
today
around
1
30..
Oh
sorry,
I'm,
so
sorry
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
get
the
letter
to
you.
I
I
E
I
I
No,
they
wanted
to
remain
in
Balance.
First
then
we
can
talk
about
this
process
and
paying
the
five
thousand
dollars
to
go
and
get
a
ship
back.
I'm
gonna
go
and
create
a
new
sign
and
then
they'll
give
whatever
the
percentage
of
the
refund
is
going
to
be
towards
the
25
000
and
then
the
charge
for
the
new
side.
So.
A
E
On
this,
because
it
would
turn
down
the
reader
board
and
if
they
would
design
everything
to
meet
the
specifications
and
our
specifications
about
the
lighting
and
all
it's
a
possibility
that
the
board
would
vote
for
the
reader
board,
but
not
in
the
size
that
it
is
so
I.
Don't
know
what
to
do.
From
this
point.
D
B
E
I
B
I
Ask
a
question
question:
this
is
the
size
based
upon
what
it
would
be
and
what
it
would
be
blocking
or
interfering,
or
anything
like
that,
because
we
we
still
have
to
move
it
so
I'm,
just
I'm,
just
asking
a
question
you
know
so
currently
we're
currently
where
the
current
sign
is,
is
pretty
much
right
right
at
the
street,
literally
right
on
the
street.
So
if
you
know
we
moved
it
to
another
space,
not
the
corner,
a
little
further.
Back
with
with
that,
you.
F
H
You
really
got
five
things
against
you:
it
needs
to
be
moved
back
off
the
right
away
and
then
the
the
size
and
style
of
design
of
the
sign
that
you
have
needs
four
variances,
not
a
variance
four,
it's
too
big.
The
percentage
of
the
electronic
reader
board
to
the
rest
of
the
sign
is
too
big.
That
would
need
a
variance
for
you
to
even
have
a
reader
board
on
that,
because
you're
not
on
a
major
artery,
you
need
a
variance,
and
the
style
of
the
sign
is
wrong.
It
shouldn't
be
a
freestanding
sign.
H
I
I
C
M
M
It
says
that
the
variance
complements
the
current
Community,
State
and
presence
of
development,
as
this
is
not
a
main
arterial,
it
is
primarily
residential
on
the
bulk
of
the
street.
Even
though
there
are
a
couple
of
churches
and
a
couple
of
professional
buildings
on
closer
to
Richland,
Avenue
I.
Don't
think
that
it
complements
it.
I
also
think
that
the
current
Monument
style
sign,
which
is
lighted,
has
adequate
space
for
them
to
put
any
messages
out
that
they
want,
which
is
kind
of
the
purpose
of
that
electronic
reader
board.
M
And
then
there
was
another
comment
that
the
church
didn't
have
the
time
to
change
the
letters
I
can't
see
that
that
would
be
very
time
consuming
any
more
than
it
would
enter
into
a
keyboard.
The
digital
sign,
so
I
just
think
that
an
electronic
reader
board,
regardless
of
the
size,
is
not
conducive
to
What,
that
particular
Street,
its
Aesthetics
and
and
what
its
purpose
is
for
so
I.
Just
want
to
make
that
comment
where.
M
I
have
to
say,
while
I
sympathize
with
the
contract
that
the
church
has
made
for
the
sign,
it
just
seems
to
me.
The
cart
was
before
the
horse
that
they
should
have
looked
into
the
variances
before
they
quartered
any
sign.
You
know
I
sympathize
with
any
money
they
might
not
get
back,
but
as
Ms
Dukes
pointed
out,
your
decision
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
finances.
Regarding
the
sign,
I
mean
that
I'm
sorry,
that's
unfortunate,
but
I
think
the
variant
should
have
been
researched
in
either
approved
or
denied
before
they
ordered
anything.
A
C
F
C
A
N
My
name
is
Raymond
Wilson
I
reside
at
1223,
York,
Street,
Northeast,
North
and
I.
Am
the
chairman
of
the
trustees
and
I
pay
the
bills
and
the
reason
we
wanted
the
the
sign
was
because
we
can
set
it
so
that
it
go
off
at
a
certain
time
and
come
on
at
a
certain
time.
That's
basically
why
we're
getting
digital?
It's
far
as
labor
time
as
to
put
stuff
up
it
is
consuming.
N
N
C
C
A
M
And
I
just
want
to
make
additional
comment
on
the
monument
sign.
It
is
current
lightable
right
now
and
they
can
control
that
on
a
timer,
whether
it's
on
or
off
as
far
as
the
back
lighting-
and
you
know
so,
I,
don't
think
that
the
ability
to
change
the
reader
board
really
is
any
different
than
what
they
do
with
this
sign.
Currently,
yes,
they
would
have
to
put
the
letters
on
both
sides
and
take
them
down
there.
It
is
what
it
is.
M
L
I
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
good,
wonderful,
strong,
ladies,
that
normally
do
help
with
supportive
making
sure
the
sign
has
been
done
so
lifting
up
that
gate
on
both
sides.
It's
pretty
heavy,
it's
flammable,
but
it's
pretty
heavy,
got
to
find
something
to
support.
It
then
also
finding
the
letters
to
put
on
there
there's
been
things
that
we
wanted
to
put
on
there,
that
we
could
not
fit
on
there.
I
So
it
is
time
consuming
because
I've
helped
do
it
myself
and
I
do
know
that
going
digital
is
very
convenient,
very
quick
and
fast
to
do
in
order
for
us
to
accomplish
what
we
need
to
accomplish.
We
can't
adjust
the
time
and
also
even
in
the
variance
that
she
sent
the
lighting
as
well,
so
the
lighting
can
be
adjusted
manually
as
well.
It
can
be
set
to
be
changed
to
whatever
it
needs
to
be
changed
in
order
for
it
to
be
clear
to
not
be
a
large
distraction,
it
can
be
done
that
way.
