Duplex Special Exception Approved for 320 South 42nd West Avenue
The Board of Adjustment considered Case 24065 for a special exception to permit a duplex in the RS3 district at 320 South 42nd West Avenue. The applicant, Darren Jones, presented plans to convert an existing addition into a second unit, addressing neighbor concerns about parking by proposing an additional driveway and splitting the backyard. The board discussed the need for increased housing and found the request to be in harmony with the zoning code. The case was approved unanimously.
Fence Height Increase Approved for 11819 East 41st Street South
The Board of Adjustment reviewed Case 24066, a request for a special exception to increase the permitted fence height from four feet to six feet within the street setback at 11819 East 41st Street South. The applicant, Randy Alcoser, cited safety concerns due to increased traffic and a past break-in, along with a desire for aesthetic improvement and to contain a dog. The property is a one-acre lot, and the proposed fence would butt up against an existing eight-foot fence. The board discussed the see-through nature of the wrought iron fence and approved the special exception unanimously.
Fleet Fueling Facility Request at 16416 East Admiral Place South Continued
The Board of Adjustment considered Case 24070, a request by JLTH Development Group, LLC for a special exception to allow commercial vehicle repair and maintenance (fleet fueling facility) in the CS district at 16416 East Admiral Place South. The applicant, Michael Scarborough, stated the property is vacant and the use is auto-centric along Admiral Way. Access would be from Admiral Place and 165th. Concerns were raised by a neighboring semi-truck business regarding a platted access easement, which the applicant clarified was not intended to be blocked. Underground storage tanks and EV chargers are proposed. One board member expressed environmental concerns about underground tanks, leading to a motion to continue the case to July 21st, which was approved.
Driveway Width Increase Approved for 1228 East 21st Place South
The Board of Adjustment considered Case 24067, a request for a special exception to increase the maximum allowable driveway width in the RS2 district at 1228 East 21st Place South. The applicant, Kenneth Veves, representing the property owner, proposed relocating a detached garage and widening the existing 12-foot driveway to 18 feet to accommodate a two-car garage entrance. The property is 0.44 acres. The board discussed the uncommon intersection location and the property's right-of-way dimensions. The request was approved unanimously.
Regent Preparatory School Security Fence Request Continued
Board of Adjustment Case 24069 involved a request for a variance to permit a fence within the street right-of-way and a special exception to increase the allowed fence height from four feet to six feet in the street zone at 8621 South Memorial Drive. Representing Regent Preparatory School, Jesse Stringer explained that the campus has grown significantly and requires a security fence to protect students from threats. The requested fence placement jogs into the ODOT right-of-way due to the campus's piecemeal layout. ODOT has granted written consent. The board expressed concerns about the variance, suggesting a continuance for a potentially more favorable board composition. The case was continued to July 21st.
