          [00:00:05]
          YOU'RE READY, MAN. OKAY. WANT TO CALL THE CALL TO ORDER THE WILEY ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT SPECIAL. I'M SORRY. REGULAR MEETING. THE DATE IS JANUARY 21ST, 2025, AND THE TIME IS 6 P.M. WANT TO CALL TO ORDER? DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON ANY NON-AGENDA ITEMS? OKAY. AND DO I'D LIKE TO PUT A MOTION IN FOR A CONSENT AGENDA. TO APPROVE OF THE MEETINGS OF LAST WEEK? YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING. SECOND. WE HAVE A SECOND. OKAY. AND WE CAN VOTE. OKAY. MOTION. MOTION PASSES WITH FIVE. IN VOTING AGAINST. LORD HELP ME. AND THEN I MOVE TO. AND THE NEXT ITEM ON THE LIST WILL HAVE. OUR REGULAR AGENDA. AND WE'D LIKE TO OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING. THIS IS JUST A PRESENTATION. YEAH. SO WE HAVE A VARIANCE REQUEST FOR A PATIO COVER FOR. IT'S FOR A REAR SETBACKS. SO THE REAR SETBACK IS TYPICALLY TEN FEET. THIS APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR ONE FEET ONE FOOT. AND IT'S A 200 SQUARE FOOT PATIO COVER. IT'S LOCATED AT 3201 WEDGEWOOD WAY. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SQUARE BOX IN THE BACK, THAT'S THE PATIO COVER. THEY'RE ALSO DOING A PATIO EXTENSION ON THE FRONT, BUT THAT'S NOT NEEDING THE VARIANCE. AND BUT THEY SUBMITTED IT AT THE SAME TIME. SO THAT'S JUST THE EXHIBIT. THEY ALSO PROVIDED A RENDERING WHICH SHOWS IT BEING 25 BY EIGHT FEET. AND WE DID MAIL OUT 31 NOTICES. WE DID RECEIVE ONE IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST. AND THAT'S LOCATED RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. IT'S THE CHECK MARK. AND THEN THEY ALSO DID RECEIVE HOA APPROVAL PENDING THE VARIANCE AND THE PERMITS BEING APPROVED. AND THE APPLICANT ISN'T HERE, BUT I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF I CAN. YEAH, A COUPLE OF. QUESTIONS. THE THIS PROPERTY IS IN A PD. YOU SAID IT WAS IN A PD, RIGHT? CORRECT. IT'S PD 20 1915 AND THE PD REQUIRES A TEN FOOT SETBACK. YES. IF THIS WERE NOT IF THIS WERE JUST PART OF THE CITY'S REGULAR ZONING, WHAT WOULD BE THE REAR SETBACK FOR A PATIO COVER? TEN FEET. TEN FEET ALSO, YES. OKAY. IT'S THE SAME. 
          IT'S THE SAME THING. ALL RIGHT. BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMETHING IN HERE THAT SAYS 25 FOOT. BUT I KNOW THAT WASN'T CORRECT. OKAY. TEN FOOT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HIS COMMENT THAT HE MADE, LIKE THE RECOMMENDATION IS TYPICALLY FOR A BIGGER YARD BACKYARD. AND HE HAS SUCH A SMALL BACKYARD THAT HE CANNOT POSSIBLY ABIDE BY THE REGULATIONS. SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT THAT THAT'S WHAT IT SAID IN THE APPLICATION, RIGHT? YEAH. THE ONE OF THE WE ASKED THAT ALL THE APPLICANTS PROVIDE SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, HARDSHIP REASON. AND SOMETIMES WE GUIDE THEM THROUGH THAT, YOU KNOW, AND SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, WE NOTICED THIS OR WE NOTICED THAT. BUT ONE OF THEIR THINGS IS THIS PARTICULAR YARD, AND A LOT OF THESE YARDS ARE BUILT LIKE RIGHT UP TO THE 25 FOOT BUILD LINE. AND SO WHEN THEIR BACKYARDS ARE KIND OF SMALL, IT DOES MAKE IT HARD TO ABIDE BY THE REGULATIONS TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT, WANT TO WANT TO BUILD. NOW, THAT BEING SAID, I'M JUST GOING TO THROW THIS OUT THERE. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS BOARD, JUST AS A REMINDER, HAS THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST. IF YOU FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ASKING FOR TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT IT EXACTLY AS PRESENTED. THAT DOES MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER, BUT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT REQUIRED. 
          THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN ON THIS ONE IS THAT IT'S KEVIN. YOU SAID 
          [00:05:01]
IT'S ONE FOOT. CORRECT. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY I MEAN, IT'S ON THE FENCE AND THEY, YOU KNOW, IT LEAVES A FOOT. YEAH. IS THERE. SO YOU'LL SEE THE, THE POLES AND THEN THE ROOF PRETTY MUCH RIGHT UP AGAINST THE FENCE. BUT IT'S UNENCLOSED. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND TOO. NO, NO FOR SURE. IT'S. 
          YEAH. IT'S NOT THAT BECAUSE I ASSUME THE NEIGHBOR IN THE BACK WOULD HAVE OBJECTED IF THEY DIDN'T WANT IT THERE. MY ONLY CONCERN, JUST KIND OF THINKING THIS THROUGH. IS THERE ANY DID THEY PROVIDE ANY KIND OF ENGINEERING REPORT OR ANYTHING ABOUT DRAINAGE OR ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE? NOT AT THIS POINT, NO. OKAY. WE HAVEN'T. IT'S A IT'S A NEW COMMUNITY. SO I LIVE IN THAT COMMUNITY. SO THE DRAINAGE IS NOT AN ISSUE ANYWHERE IN THAT COMMUNITY. AS FAR AS I KNOW. THESE ARE ALL. OKAY. GOTCHA. NO, THAT MAKES SENSE. I JUST WANTED JUST SINCE IT'S RIGHT UP ON THE ON THE LINE IN THE FENCE. THAT WAS. THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP. SO. SO, KEVIN, THE HOA HAS APPROVED IT LIKE THEY'RE JUST PENDING. PENDING ON THE CITY'S APPROVAL, OR THERE'S PENDING SOMETHING ELSE. THIS THIS IS A LETTER THAT THEY PROVIDED. IT'S ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT THEY APPROVE IT PENDING CITY PERMITS BEING PULLED. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO IS WHENEVER SOMEBODY WANTS TO COME TO THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS, IF THEY'RE IN AN HOA, WE ASK THEM TO GO TO THEIR HOA BOARD FIRST. 
          SO THAT WAY ONE, IT'S FREE. THIS COSTS MONEY, YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, THERE'S STAFF TIME AND EVERYTHING, BUT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HERE TO SERVE THE CITIZENS. BUT MY POINT IS, IS JUST THAT WE ASK THEM TO GO AHEAD AND GO TO THEIR HOA FIRST AND GET HOA CONSIDERATION, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES IT WOULDN'T MATTER IF YOU ALL APPROVED IT AND AN HOA SAID NO. THEY WENT THROUGH A MUCH LONGER PROCESS TO GET TO THAT, THAT, THAT THAT STOPPING POINT, AS OPPOSED TO IF THEY GO TO THE HOA FIRST AND THEN COME TO US. 
          KEVIN, IS THERE A SETBACK REQUIREMENT BETWEEN THE ENCLOSED STRUCTURE, I.E. THE HOUSE AND THIS UNENCLOSED? IN OTHER WORDS, COULD THIS UNENCLOSED STRUCTURE BE MOVED TO CLOSER TO THE ENCLOSED STRUCTURE OF THE HOUSE? SO IT'S ATTACHED. IT'S A IT'S A PATIO COVER. SO IT'S ATTACHED TO THE ROOF LINE. SO THIS SO THIS PATIO IS ACTUALLY ATTACHED TO THE, THE HOUSE ITSELF. YES. YES. 
          AND OH THAT MAKES SENSE. OKAY. WOW. AND YET IT'S ONLY ONE FOOT SETBACK FROM THE FROM THE PROPERTY LINE, THEN FROM THE REAR. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. BUT AS JASON MENTIONED, IF YOU THINK ONE FOOT IS TOO CLOSE, YOU COULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR LESS OR. 
          YEAH, MORE. BUT AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, NO UTILITIES OR ANYTHING ARE THERE WOULD BE IMPACTED BY IT. OKAY. AND THE PLAN THAT THEY SUBMITTED SHOWS THAT IT'S A RETAINING WALL THAT'S BACK THERE ACTUALLY. SO. LIKE ON THE LABEL I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO LOOK UP THE. DID YOU SEE LIKE BACK THERE IT SAYS RETAINING WALL. I TEND TO AGREE THIS, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF LIKE A HARDSHIP BECAUSE I MEAN IF THE IF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE, THE HOUSE IS THIS CLOSE TO THE FENCE. LOOKING AT THIS, IT SEEMS THAT THE HOUSE BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND THE FENCE IS ONLY LIKE NINE FOOT NINE FEET, WHICH TELLS ME THAT EVEN TO COMPLY WITH THE EXISTING ZONING ORDINANCE, EVEN IF THIS WEREN'T A PD, BUT THEY'RE THE SAME SETBACK REQUIREMENTS TEN FOOT. THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN BUILD UNLESS YOU SHRINK IT DOWN TO I DON'T KNOW, ANYTHING YOU BUILD THERE BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND THE FENCE IS GOING TO BE LESS THAN. SO YEAH, IF IT WAS A DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, IT WOULD HAVE A THREE FOOT REAR SETBACK. IF IT WERE DETACHED LIKE A SHED. YES. THAT WOULD BE THREE FOOT. YEAH. YEAH. SO. YEAH. OKAY. I'M GOOD. THANKS. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NONE FOR ME. MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU. WE LIKE TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY. CAN. IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION OR. CHAIRMAN GORDON, DO YOU HAVE A. MADAM CHAIR, I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST AS SUBMITTED AND LISTED ON THE AGENDA. OKAY. AND DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. WE HAVE A SECOND. YES. OKAY. CAN WE GO AHEAD AND VOTE? OKAY. WE HAVE FIVE IN APPROVAL. YEAH. AND JUST HAVE TO GO TO 
          [00:10:26]
ADJOURNMENT. OKAY. IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN THE MEETING. OH. WE VOTED. OH, MOTION. I'M SORRY. ALL RIGHT. CAN WE GET IT? I MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. 
          SECOND AND GORDON SECOND. CHAIR. GORDON SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. BOOM! OKAY. WE HAVE A TOTAL OF FIVE VOTING IN FAVOR,
