<br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Zoning Board of Adjustment <br />Minutes of May 27,1993 <br /> <br />1. In order to grant a special exception, the Board is required to <br />show that it would not be contrary to the best public interest. <br />Given the lack of setback adjacent to what is considered a <br />somewhat heavily traveled roadway, staff feels it is not in the <br />best public interest to maintain this structure at this location. <br />Dust, created by the open roadway, is not conducive to an open <br />eating area. <br /> <br />2. In considering the issue of hardship, as defined by the Zoning <br />Ordinance, there has to be something that is peculiar to a piece <br />of property. Staff feels there is adequate property where a <br />structure could be constructed and at the same time meet <br />Zoning Ordinance setback requirements. <br /> <br />A.. PROPONENTS <br /> <br />Chairman Bernay swore in Clinton (Sonny) Payne. Mr. Payne stated <br />there was already a concrete slab where the patio was constructed. <br />Mr. Payne noted he does not feel the patio creates an interference. <br /> <br />B. OPPONENTS <br /> <br />There were none. <br /> <br />After some discussion, a motion was made Charles Christensen to grant <br />approval of SE93-003. The motion was seconded by Sidney Grant. All were <br />in favor and the motion passed. <br /> <br />v. <br /> <br />STAFF REPORTS <br /> <br />John Armstrong noted that he will be representing the City of La Porte in the <br />Couch/Davis case when it goes to the Supreme Court. <br /> <br />VI. ADJOURN <br /> <br />There being no further business to come before the Board, Chairman Bernay <br />declared the meeting duly adjourned at 7:35 PM. <br />
