R-2 Zoning District (Single Family Residential)
Thelma M. Smith, Petitioner
Mr. Duke provided the staff report for the variance to allow the existing non-conforming structure to
extend its non-conformance by allowing the addition of a 14x10 covered front porch.He stated that
the house’s front set back is currently at 25’ rather than the R-2 required 35’. He stated that the R-2
zoning was applied in 1987 where many of the lots in the subdivision do not meet the standard. He
stated that other variances for properties in the subdivision have been approved. He stated that the
zoning ordinance causes the non-conformance.
Thelma Smith,petitioner, stated that the proposed front porch would provide some safety and security
and would help to alleviate pain associated with her medical issues.
Chairman Jamieson opened the public hearing.
Mack Smith,advocate for the petitioner,spoke in favor of the request.
The public hearing was closed.
After no further comments, questions, or discussion, the vote was called.The BZA voted unanimously
to approve the request to extend a non-conforming use to allow a 10’encroachment into the required35’ front yard line on property at 104 White Oak Court.
