Mirutes - Monday, October 21, 1=57
1. The fact that construction was began pre-
maturely is no criteria.
2. The proposed car space provided is necessarily
crowded for vehicle occupancy.
3. There are no special or unique circumstances or
hardship to warrant approval.
4. Other property owners in the tract -;ould be tem-
pted to ask for the same special privilege on
the basis of similar locations. The enclosing
of garage spaces shoi::1d not be encouraged. The
approval of this var nce would induce more owners
to do the same.
5. How can this owner or future owners be stopped
from enclosing this proposed car port at a
future time and utilizing this space also for
living purposes.
6. The crowding of structures onto spacious lots
could easily deteriorate the appearance of the
tract and would defeat the original purpose of
the space requirements. Crowded conditions
which are easily viewed from the highway would
serve to discredit and devaluate the tract as
a thole.
7. The carport and utility room would be much more
acceptable if placed in the rear yard away from
the immediate view of the highway.
Motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen: Bryant, Lockett, Bartlett, Terry.
NOES: Councilmen: Irby.
ABSENT: Councilmen: None.
