Tent Structure. Zoned B-3.The Chair stated Item Number One on the Agenda, Premier Truck & Accessories located at 365 North Highway 67. Request Approval of a 30' by 30' tent structure. Zoned B-3.
The Petitioner does not appear and no additional information has been received.
Based upon the information received at the November 5, 2007 Meeting the Commission rendered the following conclusions.
Jim Ross stated that he was not in favor of this Petition because aesthetically the structure did not conform with the existing neighborhood and therefore, would have a negative impact on property values.
Michael Meyer stated that in reading the definition and use of a temporary structure it is his opinion that the Petition as presented is not in compliance and as such would constitute a violation of the code.
Ron Goodhart stated that based on his understanding the temporary structure was to be used
as a workshop; would be taller than the existing permanent structure and had no restrictions for removal.
Based on that understanding, Mr. Goodhart stated that he would not be in favor of approving the Petition.
Jane Boyle concurred with the aforementioned statements and stated that she would also be opposed to the request made by the Petitioner.
Jim Ross asked Mr. Morgan whether the Petitioner had revised his Petition by reducing the structure to 20' by 20'? Mr. Morgan stated that he had not, however, based on the fact that the structure has to be at least 10 feet from both of the property lines neither dimension would be applicable from a building code standpoint.
