APPROVALS Mr. Nettles moved to dispense with the reading of the April 01, 1985 Board of Adjustment meeting minutes and approve them as typed and distributed, seconded by Chairman Beatty and approved unanimously. VARIANCE REQUEST - Don Tyndall Chairman Beatty opened with a background discussion of events leading up to the variance request. Mr. Tyndall gave a synopsis of said events and agreed he received the letter from the City dated October 03, 1985. In reference to the letter, Item 2, a,b,c and d, Chairman Beatty questioned Mr. Tyndall about compliance. Mr. Tyndall said he is willing to comply. City Manager Griffin stated Mr. Tyndall was asking for exception to these items. He can see no rr way Mr. Tyndall can comply because of the location of the business there is not enough parking spaces for customers. Chairman Beatty stated he feels Mr. Tyndall misunderstood the ordinance and understands his difficulty in complying but if Mr. Tyndall intends to comform, there is no problem. City Manager Griffin stated Mr. Tyndall wants to comply but the building in not physically capable of complying to the 4 items stated in the City letter. Chairman Beatty stated if Mr. Tyndall agrees to these 4 provisions he would grant reasonable time for compliance. Mr. Tyndall stated he had supplied the City with a plat of survey as requested in the October 03, 1985 letter. City Manager Griffin stated he does not have this. Chairman Beatty stated he needs the plat and also needs to know whether Mr. Tyndall is asking for a variance. He also stated Mr. Tyndall should have supplied the things asked for in the city letter, and Mr. Tyndall was not properly addressing the board - he must either comply or ask for a variance. Since Mr. Tyndall is not asking for a special variance the board can come to no decision. Mr. Tyndall asked for a recess so he could locate the proper plat and demonstrate how he intends to comply. Cliff Rhodes made a motion to recess at 8:05 p.m., seconded by Mr. Nettles and unanimously approved. Chairman Beatty called the meeting back to order at 8 :34 p.m. Mr. Tyndall could not locate the plat. Chairman Beatty stated there was no clear definition of a variance request by Mr. Tyndall. Mr. Rhodes apologized for being unable to help and suggested Mr. Tyndall reappear before the City Commission to speed up things and ask them for a variance. Chairman Beatty stated no action can be taken since there was no formal petition or request and told Mr. Tyndall to recontact the City after studying the letter to establish a new meeting.
