MAY 22, 1984 MINUTES APPROVED
After reviewing the minutes of the meeting held May 22, 1984, Mr. Rhodes moved
to approve the minutes as written and Mr. Marsden seconded. Vote was unanimous
in favor.
SAM HODGE REQUESTS VARIANCE ON RIGHT -OF- WAY,LOTS 17,18 & 19 REUBEN KEGLER SUB.
Assistant City Manager Griffin explained to Board that although Lots 17, 18 & 19
of Reuben Kegler Subdivision appear to be platted with a 60' road right -of -way,
closer examination reveals that the west 30' of those lots had been designated
right -of -way, leaving the remaining 30' to be platted at a later date. When
those lots immediately west of lots 17, 18 & 19 were platted, that portion which
should have been the remainder of the road right -of -way was designated 25' utility
easement instead, leaving the road of insufficient size to be termed a street.
Mr. Hodge wishes to use lots 17, 18 & 19, which are adjoining, to construct only
two houses and use the road right -of -way to allow ingress /egress to those houses.
As the Code provides that a 20' driveway shall supply one home, a variance is
requested to allow this driveway to supply two homes.
Present in the audience were John Carter, previous owner of adjacent land; also
Jerry Carter,owner of property east of right -of -way, who stated that if right -of-
way is opened it will be within 20' of his carport.
Mr. Marsden moved to grant variance as requested and Mr. Kempher seconded. Vote
was 4 -2 in favor with Mr. Goff and Mr. Rhodes voting nay.
Mr. Goff objected to the wording, as a drive way becomes private property and he
felt that the right-of -way would lose its identity as a street if variance is
granted.
Mr. Rhodes said that a variance is not necessary as access to the property could
be accomplished by crossing railroad tracks.
