BUSINESS/ACTION ITEMS
BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW – 8313 Croydon Circle
The Commission reviewed a building permit for the construction of a garage on the back corner of the property. The owner of the property has a home addition project and has applied for the following waivers: (1) Ordinance 150.21(15) which requires a staked survey when construction limits are within five feet of a property line, and (2) Ordinance 150.21(5) which requires an acceptable connection to the house for a detached garage.
The owner of the property submitted written approval from their adjacent neighbor waving the staked survey requirement of 150.21(1), which satisfies the requirement. Following discussion, the owner agreed to change the garage attachment from a fence to a wall.
Commissioner Leavell made a motion to approve the Letter of Compliance for 8313 Croydon Circle, upon specific condition that the owner changes the garage attachment from a fence to a wall design similar to other like projects in the City, which design must be reviewed and approved by City Engineer Chris Crumpton. His motion was seconded by Commissioner Jackson. The motion carried unanimously.
