This property is located at 5312 Richland Ct. Mr. Larry Smith spoke, stating the storage building is built within fence rather than three feet inside fence. Mr. Smith brought photographs showing the building from both his property and his neighbors property. The building is constructed of red cedar. Mr. Smith intends to install a red cedar fence to match the building. The building is built on rail- road ties recessed in the ground. Mr. Kenneth Dell - 5309 Richland Ct. Mr. Dell had no objections to the building being on the property line but does want the fence constructed of the same material. . Mr. Roseberry stated if either party gets ready to sell property there could be trouble as the building is an -encroachment to neighbors property and violation of city ordinance. ~ . Mr. Trotter asked about the problem of moving the building. Mr. Smith stated it would be quite a bit of work. Mr. Dell asked if F.H.A. would stop sale of property because of this. Mr. Roseberry said F.H.A. would say get the encroachment off or make both parties sign a waiver. Mr. Jones questioned the legality of the variance, if granted, and some one wanted the building removed. Mr. Jones questioned the overhang being on neighbors property. Mr. Smith said the over- hang was about 611. Mr. Smith asked if the water on the adjacent property was a problem; if so he said he could add gutters or cut 311 off the overhang. The four inch posts would take up the difference. If I have to move the building it will be elevated another eleven inches. Mr. Britton pointed out ordinance no. 461 Section 2.28 also in violation. . After much discussion Jack Roseberry moved, seconded by J. Jones to deny this request due to violation of zoning ordinance no. 179, Article XXIII, Section 111.2 and ordinance no. 461, Section 2.28. Motion carried 4-0, all v'ot i ng for. Mr. Helton explained to Mr. Smith due to possible future problems the Board felt it best for him and the City to deny this request and he hoped Mr. Smith understood. BA 76-9 Request of Robert J.
