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.

recommended Vern Combs for one (1) and asked for other suggestions.
