City of Jacksonville Zoning Board of Appeals met June 6.
Here is the minutes provided by the Board:
Chair Oldenettel called the monthly meeting of the Jacksonville Zoning Board of Appeals to order at 6:21 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. The agenda and petition were published with the local media and by posting at the Municipal Building.
Roll Call: Answering present: Michael Oldenettel – Chairman, John Heyer – Secretary, Casey Collins, Brad Besson – Vice-Chair, Kerris Osborn; City Attorney Dan Beard; City Clerk Skip Bradshaw. Absent from the meeting were Members Bill Scott and Brad Cors; Community Development Director Kelly Hall. A quorum was declared.
Minutes: Motion was made by Collins, seconded by Osborn, to approve the February 7, 2018 Minutes as presented in advance. By voice vote, motion carried.
CC Bradshaw read Item #3 on the agenda. Review petition for variance for property located at 933 Mathers Street regarding the height of a fence. Property is owned by Joey Earl Moore. CC Bradshaw swore in Mr. Moore to represent this petition. Mr. Moore explained that due to the odd shape of his lot, he would like to extend a privacy fence 10 feet past the front of the house on the west side of the property, which puts the fence at 29 feet and within the proper front yard setback. He would also like to increase the height of the fence from 3 feet to 6 feet for privacy purposes and to help block the view of his trailers parked in his back yard.
Chair Oldenettel asked for discussion, or if there was anyone in attendance to speak in favor of, or opposition to this request and there were none. Motion was made by Besson, seconded by Heyer, to approve this request based upon the findings of fact in Section 11.3-4 of the Zoning Ordinance, numbers 2, 3, and 4, that the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances; that the variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and that the granting the variation desired will not violate the general spirit and intent of this ordinance.
Roll Call: 5 Yeas; 0 Nays; 2 Absent (Scott, Cors)
Motion carried 5-0-2.
Other Business: CC Bradshaw reported that CDD Hall will be placing a couple of items on the next agenda for discussion; the ordinance governing a metal recycling plant and whether the current metal recycling facility on E. Morton is in compliance, and the placement of the trash bin at the new Dunkin’ Donuts bakery. Information on these two issues will be forwarded to the Commissioners prior to the next meeting.
Public Comment: No discussion.
Adjournment: With no further discussion motion was made by Besson, seconded by Heyer, to adjourn the meeting at 6:30 p.m.
