PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal of Use Permit UP-50A-65 and Lot Split Application
LS-7-65 - J. W. and Marian Spence _
- � _ . _ .
The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Moty opened the ;
Public Hearing on the appeal of Use Perrnit UP-50A-65 and Lot
Split Application LS-7-65 - J. .W. Spence and Marian C. Spence
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
�,1G��f Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
��
The City Clerk advised a communication had been received from
Maynard and Betty Vanderpool requesting that the Use Permit
Application and the Lot Split Application of J. W, and Marian C.
Spence be denied.
Plann�.ng Director Keyes reviewed the background of the Use Permit and
Lot Split Applications which were �disapproved on November 9, 1965 by the
Planning Commission, and showed the area involved on the Vu Graph. Mr.
Keyes stated the lot in question contains about 32, 000 sq. ft. , and is located.
in an R- 1 District which permits lots of 6, 000 sq. ft. _The applicant has .
, _ � _
requested permission to divide the property into ,two very, large parcels, each
of which exceeds lot size requirements by at least 200%. On:the property there
319
now exists a res'idence, two garages, one df which is used partially for a TV -
Radio repair service, and a guest house, and the structures are served by a �
septic tank and private well. Mr. Keyes� said numerous petitions had been filed
�,.;with the Planning Commission protesting the Use Permit for the guest house
as a residence and for the lot split because "it was felt the-guest house did not
measure up to other residences in the neighborhood. One of"the petitions
. contained 63 signatures. Another oJajec:tidn i's;.that��th;e,��g.ue'st�house is �l-oeated in
the rear of the lot and exceeds the maximum 35 foot setback requirement.
In answer to Councilm'an Denny�s question as to the' definiti:on of a-guest house;
Mr. Keyes said the primary difference between a guest house and a dwelling
is that a guest hous e has xio kitclien facilities. ' � � - -
Mr. Alvin Cibula, Attorney repres'entirig tlie 'applicants,� J. W: arid Marian �
Spence, said that the immediate neighbors of the Spences liad si'gned a=petition
in August 1965 stating they had no �objections to tlie guest liouse being used as
a single family dwelling. Mr. Cibula submitted this petition to Council and� -
also submitted an analysi s of the protest petition containing the 63 signatia.res,
pointing out that a great many of the signers live over 1/4 mile away. Mr.
Cibula said he didn°t believe that�granting •of these per`inits'woul'd hurt the.
neighborhood or the City, but would allow his client to make full utilization
of this large;pa�'r-c�l of land. He indicated that denial of�these permits amounts
to confiscating the land. - - �
Mr. Cibula asked Mr. Penix, City Building Inspector if he had inspected the
guest house and Mr. Penix said he made the inspection and it meets and exceeds
the Cityis building code. The guest house has passed all inspections. Mr.
Cibula suggested that Council visit the property and look' at the guest house to
ascertain it is not an .eyesore.._ � �
Mr. Hull, Chairman of the Planning Commission, appeared before Council
�.��ff�
and stated there hav.e been three hearings in this matter. The first hearing
concern.ed the unique split; the second hearing w-as on a lot split and variance;
and the third hearing concerned a lot split and use permit. Mr. Hull brought
out that the Planning Commis.sion has always corisi�3ered persons in the neigh-
borhood in zoning matters and in this instance petitions-rece��ed by the Commi-
ssiori indicated .perso.ns .in the neighborh6od we're' not in favor of thi�s Use Permit
and Lot Split application.
Mr. W. Mac Woods of John Bryant Realty stated� that within the last 10 days his
firm has negotiated for construction of homes on 14 lots on Riveria Drive,
. , acrossi:�the?=s'tre.et fromthe Spence property. He said-that as their interest arose
within tlie:'last 1O.days they did not appear at the hearings before the -PTanriing
Commis,sion but would like to have this hearing conti�nued as he believes any
deviation's:;from the present zoning would be detrimental. When questioned
as to whethex he was authorized to represent the owner, Mr: Wood�said�he�was
not; however, he felt sure the�owner was not�aware of the situation and vw uld want
the opportunity to protest.
� _ �
Mrs.,Senta Coots.who. resides at 4674 L;ookout Drive stated that although many
o f the persons who signed the petition live some distance from the Spence
property, they must drive past his prope rty to get to their homes. She�further
stated that the guest house is not of the same value as required by others in
the neighborhood and there would probably have been no objection if tlie lot
had been split and the guest house.had been built in accordance�with the 35
foot s etback re�trictions. _ � - �
Ther,e .was,:a-dis,�;us,sion.regarding sewer,and water service to the'guest liouse
and it was brought out that water was supplied from a well on the property and �
if the lot is split the well will�not be located on the same lot as the guest house
but the owner has agr.eed to furnish an eas ement in the event the lot with the
guest house is sold.
Councilman Chatfield stated that zoning does not control size of building,
architecture, rental of property, or health and safety, and therefore these
items cannot be ,considered in deciding whether the Use Permit should be issued.
� �2b �
Councilman Denny asked if water lines or leach lines are permitted to overlay
the common boundary_of.tw,o lots in comrnon ownership or if it is;considered
contrary to the zoning ordinance or-other.,legal.requ�rements . � _
Planning Director Keyes said that th�e_City Attorney had drawn up an agreement
at the request of the County Health Officer which had been signed by the applicant,
providing for�the ;recor.dation of a:,s:ewer easement in the.event this permit is approved.
MOTI�N;� Made by Councilman Fulton, secgnded� by Couneilman Denny that
Council approve UP-50A-65 and LS-7-65,. subject�to the .c�onditiori�that the .
agreement prepared by the City At�orney re sewe.r�easement. and,other provisioris
desired by the Health Officer be signed by the applicant and recorded, and
the City Attorney be instructed�to prepare the necessary document, ,

verbal requests for parking 'spaces in this lot, and no real effort had been put
forth informing employees of the available space. .

e`d`by the Commission, Mr: Freeman said �that as the lot was empty the-Traffie

The resolution amending the Amended Resolution=of Tntenti'on�No. 3463 provides
that any surplus funds be applied towards the reduction of assessments pro rated
over the life of the bonds. In answer to Mayor MotyTs questions as to why this
'`� is necessary, Finance Director Courtney stated that this Assessment District
is under the 1913 Act and, under this act, the bond sale occurs at an early stage
and the amount of the bonds sold is based. upon.the .e�ngineer�s estimate of the
total cost. Before the ,196'5 Session of the Legis.latur-e any surplus could be
applied �d;ireetly against .the_assessments and_applied in total a'gainst the first
year arid against any succeeding .year, _but.generally this- would not extend
`�/� beyond the second or third .y.ear. Now the surplus mus.t be pro 'rated over the
life of the bonds. Mr. Courtney stated that pro ration over the li.fe of the
bonds in conformance with the 1965 Statutes involves c°onsiderable ad'ditional'
clerical work. ,
