Request of Donald Rea for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance No. 1874 on Lot 7, Block
1, Briarwood Estates, to vary from the masonry requirement. Th is property is located at
7116 Sweetbriar Court.
Chairman Duer opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak to come

not object to the use of siding. He stated the house is painted brick. He stated there is one
house on the block with siding on one side. Mr. Rea stated the area with the siding will be
behind the fence. He stated since the house is painted brick, they did not want the extra

Chairman Duer asked how large the house was.
Mr. Rea stated 1,500 square feet living area. He stated they are doubling the size.
Mr. LeBaron stated an issue came up during the workshop about a variance from the 20%

Mr. Rea stated the plot plan he submitted was inaccurate. He stated there is an additional 10
feet that is not shown.
Mr. Christensen asked what type of siding was proposed.
Mr. Rea stated 4-inch masonite.
Mr. Schopper asked why the city would have a masonry requirement and also allow the
brick to painted.
Mr. LeBaron stated the city does not regulate whether the brick can be painted.
Mr. Rea stated their brick is painted because there was a fire in the house before they bought
it.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Duer closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Schopper stated that since the brick is already painted, there is no need for the Board to
require the addition to be bricked.
