Bobby J. Wilson, Petitioner
Mr. Duke provided the staff report for the variance to allow a 3’ rear yard encroachment for an
addition at 142 Poplar Street.
Bobby Wilson,petitioner, stated that the proposed addition of a utility room and sunroom wouldencroach 3’ into the rear yard setback. He stated that the 3’variance was needed to allow the sunroom
to align with the existing pool.
Mr. Cimis asked Mr. Wilson if the proposed 4’ breezeway, attaching the sunroom to the utility room,
could be shortened or eliminated to eliminate the need for the encroachment. Mr. Wilson replied that
it could not because the sunroom would be misaligned with the pool.
Chairman Jamieson opened the public hearing.
Robert Johnson, 141 Poplar Street,spoke in favor of the request.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Cimis stated that there was nothing unique to the land that would require a need for a variance and
that the petitioner wanting to align the sunroom to the pool was a self-created hardship.
