AND I LIVE AT, UH, 1 1 22 WESTBROOK BERNARD.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT AT FIRST WHEN I MOVED IN, BUT THERE'S A LARGE TREE IN THE FRONT YARD AND IT, UH, HAS SOME SORT OF PODS THAT COME OFF OF IT CONSTANTLY AND IT CONTAINS SOME KIND OF A GLUE BLACK INK LOOKING LIQUID THAT WHEN IT GETS ON TO YOUR CAR, IT JUST GOES RIGHT INTO THE PAINT AND IT'S CAUSING A LOT OF DAMAGE.
AND I JUST, I'M NOT INTERESTED, YOU KNOW, IN BUILDING SOMETHING BIG AND FANCY, JUST SOMETHING THAT'LL KEEP THAT STUFF FROM FALLING ON MY, ON MY TRUCK.
ALSO, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GO IN OR OUT 'CAUSE IF YOU TRACK IT IN, IT'LL, IT'LL DAMAGE YOUR CARPET TOO BECAUSE IT STAINS REAL BAD.
MR. SWELL, DO YOU HAVE THE MEASUREMENTS OF WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT? UH, I TURNED IT IN WITH ALL THE PAPERWORK.
I TRIED TO DROP EVERYTHING THAT UH, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT NEED.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT BUILDING 12 FOOT WIDE BY 20 FOOT FEET FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE OUT AND HE'S GOT LIKE 40 FEET TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD.
YEAH, THE PICTURE SHOWS 45 LINE.
YEAH, BUT WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE DISTANCE TO THE UTILITY EASEMENT? THE UTILITIES ARE ON THE YES, IT'S PLENTY CLEAR FOR THAT.
AND THE HIGH LINE IS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
IT'S NOT INTERFERING WITH THAT.
JERRY, WHAT, WHAT'S THE, ARE WE IN DISCUSSION, MAYOR? IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING.
WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS CARPORT AND THE CARPORT? WE, WE, UH, APPROVED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.
WE, WE ADDED, WE APPROVED A VARIANCE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO FOR A CARPORT.
BASICALLY CLOSE TO THE SAME, BUT PROBABLY FELL CLOSER BACK TO THE HOUSE THAN ONE ON THE LAST ONE.
OKAY, SO IT'S A 25 TO THIS IS 25 FOOT SETBACK IS WHAT YOU TOLD ME.
THAT'S FROM THE PROPERTY LINE? YES, SIR.
FROM THE PROPERTY LINE? YES, SIR.
AND HE'S GOT BY THIS PICTURE HERE AND IT SAYS HE IS GOT 45 FEET.
SO HE, HE'S OR IS HE BUTTON UP? IS YOU, ARE YOU GOING TO ADD THAT IN, IN, ONTO YOUR HOUSE OR IS IT GONNA BE DETACHED FROM THE HOUSE? NO, IT'S GONNA BE FROM THE HOUSE.
IT'S GONNA BE SEPARATE FROM MY HOUSE.
I WASN'T, I WASN'T GOING TO BUILD IT ONTO THE HOUSE.
BUT SHE STILL, AND THEN YOU SAY 12 BY 2020 FEET OUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
SO IT'LL, IT'LL GIVE STILL 25 FEET FROM THE, ALMOST FROM THE ROAD THEN.
IS IT METAL OR WOOD? IT'S GOING TO BE METAL.
AND YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T WANT TO BLOCK ANY ONES OF VIEW OR PUT SIDES ON IT, JUST ENOUGH TO WHERE IT'LL BE OPEN ON THE SIDES, BUT IT'LL BE COVERED ON TOP.
ANCHORED TO THE, AND IT'LL BE ANCHORED TO THE CONCRETE.
CJ REMIND ME AGAIN, THE, THE, THE VARIANCES BECAUSE OF THE SETBACK THAT WE HAVE.
HE'S GONNA FALL INTO THE SETBACK BY ABOUT, UH, I THINK IT'S EIGHT FEET, NINE FEET.
IF HE'S THAT FAR BACK, I THOUGHT HE WAS CLOSER TO THE ROADWAY THAN HE IS.
AND SO WHEN THEY INCUR, WHEN THEY COME INTO THAT SETBACK REQUIREMENT, IT, IT TRIGGERS THE EASEMENT REQUIRE OR THE VARIANCE REQUEST.
[00:10:01]
I DO KNOW THAT THERE'S A LITTLE WOODEN ONE FARTHER DOWN THE STREET THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT THE SAME.WELL, THERE THERE'S THE, THE GUY ON THE CORNER OF SHANKS AND BILLINGS.
I MEAN SHANKS AND, AND, UH, BERNARD BERNARD, IT, IT IS ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE ROAD ON HIS, AND IT'S A, IT'S A METAL METAL TIME.
AND THEN I'VE HAD A, A GUY OFF AVERY STREET CALLED ME ABOUT THE SAME THING AND HE'S GOT LESS, LESS DISTANCE FROM, FROM HIM, SO THAN THE, WHAT HE'S GOT.
I, I DON'T HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THIS.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM ANYONE IN THE CHAMBERS REAL, REAL QUICK, UH, SPEAKING WITH JERRY EARLIER THIS WEEK ARE IS IN THE WORKS TO CHANGE SOME OF THIS? YES, SIR.
WE'RE, UH, AS PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING A ZONING OVERLAY FOR PART OF THE PART OF THE TOWN WHICH WOULD DECREASE THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FROM THE STREET.
THERE ARE A LOT OF HOUSES IN TOWN THAT AREN'T 25 FEET FROM THE ROAD.
