7) Courtesy reviews
a. V15-001, 2600 Grassview Drive, Bentgrass Farms II, Brian Weil
Requests(s):
To reduce the side yard setback on the west property line from 25 feet to
18 feet (Section 64-416,c,i)
Comments:
Prior to the BZA meeting, you’ll need to provide actual drawings of what
you want to build.
Work with your architect to come up with a building whose character
matches that of the existing house. Materials should match, as well.
You can build an attached garage, 22 feet wide, starting from the gable of
the main house, and you won’t need a variance.
Also, consider building a detached carriage house type of building behind
the house, out of the setback.
Talk to your neighbors to come up with an agreeable solution.
b. V15-002, 14990 Birmingham Highway, Reeves Newsom
Requests(s):
To allow a pool and pool deck to encroach into the 50 foot stream/pond
buffer (Section 20-426,i)
To allow a pool and pool deck to encroach into the 75 foot impervious
setback (Section 20-426, ii)
Comments:
Clad the retaining wall with some sort of natural material, i.e. stone.
Screen pool equipment.
c. V15-003, 13460 Providence Lake Drive, Providence Lake, Glen Towater
Requests(s):
To allow encroachment into the 50 foot stream buffer for maintenance
(Section 20-426,i)
To allow encroachment in to the 75 foot impervious setback for
maintenance (Section 20-426, ii)
Comments:
Explore the option of carting the silt off the property.
The Board supports the plan for the east cove. The affected trees in the 50
foot buffer area have already been lost due to the last dredging project.
The Board does not support the plan for the west cove. There are trees
that would be in jeopardy in this 50 foot buffer area. Find another option
for the west cove. Consider placing the silt in the 75 foot impervious
setback area. Clearing and grading is allowed in this area.
The HOA needs to come up with a long term plan for the silt problem, so
that the dredging is not required every 12-15 years.
Do not disturb any currently vegetated areas.
The variance should ask for a minimal amount of disturbance.
8) New business—None
9) Old business—
a) 14250 Birmingham Highway follow up—Sound proofing
Comments:
The applicant added padding under the hammer, and added insulation to the building.
Staff observed the sound tests while the equipment was in operation. The noise level
generated with by the equipment in operation is less than City maximums, as measured at
the property lines. Also, they encountered no vibration from the machinery.
Applicant has met Board’s requests.
10) Adjournment
