[2:38] And there is a quorum present. I'll turn the meeting over to Mayor Pro Tim.
[2:50] This is, we're opening the public hearing regarding a variance request for 142.
[2:55] In fact, Surfside Beach property unit is requested a permit to build onto his existing home and
[3:01] approaching onto the setback boundaries.
[3:04] Is anyone here to discuss this?
[3:09] You are the homeowner, correct?
[3:12] Could you come far, please?
[3:17] If you like to use a mic or I hate to just write there and a mic from a picture.
[3:25] Okay.
[3:25] Thank you.
[3:26] My name's Greg Stapp.
[3:27] I've owned this property on a meeting back for almost 21 years.
[3:31] And I just like to add on to a room to the living room to make it larger for our expanding family about 200 square feet.
[3:43] Excuse me, it won't be any higher than the existing structure.
[3:48] As far as I can tell and I've been all around the neighborhood, it doesn't block anybody's view.
[3:55] There's already a house on the outside of the street with the same setbacks closer to the Gulf.
[4:02] And it was built with a 16-foot setback.
[4:07] And now the setback is five feet and there's no wave in place for people to add on to their houses in the instance that I'm trying to do.
[4:17] But there are waivers in base for instance for a hike.
[4:21] If you want to add on to your husk, and it doesn't meet the current height requirements
[4:26] in both the level, you're odd to do so long as your action does increase the value.
[4:32] It doesn't reach 10% of the value of the existing structure.
[4:36] It's fine not to have the words exactly like that, but that's what I believe more or less
[4:39] does.
[4:40] And so I'm asking for a waiver for essentially the same kind of situation where I've
[4:50] got seven-year-old house, according to the rules of the time, and I would like to just add
[4:58] on to it not adding more than adding much less than 50 percent to the value of the existing
[5:06] house, I just so I can enlarge the living room, not adding a bedroom, I'm not infringing
[5:15] on anybody's view and it's similar to the current stress on that street, so that's kind
[5:28] in the national.
[5:31] So anybody you speak for against on the street? Neighbors, letters went out to
[5:39] staggering for the owners. Did Amy protest? Let me just stay up here. What's in the, in the
[5:50] The public is building in relation to how what the rule is is 20.
[5:56] That's 25.
[5:58] It'll be way, it'll go to 16.
[6:03] It's a nine foot difference.
[6:05] It's actually building built like connected onto your house.
[6:11] It's not like you're going to front of what's currently there.
[6:13] Correct.
[6:13] It's going to be exactly the same exact same exact the whole structure.
[6:18] It will look by my intent whether the drawings that had prepared showed it in a similar parent structure.
[6:28] If you want to follow up on that way, you can show them a picture of it.
[6:33] Thank you.
[6:38] Thank you.
[6:39] Excuse me.
[6:51] That's correct.
[7:03] Here's the,
[7:04] The,
[7:05] The,
[7:06] It'll go up.
[7:07] The next,
[7:07] The,
[7:07] that goes out to here. Well, that's the next actually on the property line so it can't go
[7:13] out that front. There's a five foot set back required and the saw is a little go out to the
[7:17] five foot set back. Just following the front of the house and the roof will be a little roof
[7:24] and then come forward. No, we'll come forward. It'll stay the same. It will stay. This is the
[7:30] And this is a 16 foot setback, the blue. I see. So it's going to go sideways. It's not going to go forward. Right.
[7:36] It's going sideways. It's going to keep the time. There is the same wall.
[7:41] And he can't move.
[7:42] The time is understood. I'll create, even after the first time.
[7:45] Oh, I'm glad we had the picture. Thank you.
[7:47] That makes a big difference.
[7:49] The side effects are still going to be this.
[7:53] And as per requirement. Yes.
[7:55] And you can't build behind that because of your septic tank.
[7:58] Right.
[8:01] I don't see you on the tax rolls. I'm just curious why I can't wait to
[8:05] under a GSDS revocable first.
[8:15] So we have no signal for something we've lost.
[8:18] Yes, I'm sure she's aware of it. She's monitoring it in there.
[8:24] She'll show it back here in just a sec.
[8:25] I should be late.
[8:27] Trying to have to start.
[8:29] We'll wait a second here.
[8:34] I need to read on which is.
[8:37] I don't know if you can call for a vote or you can ask it through any other questions.
[8:45] You can ask Mr. Ritter if he has anything he wants to.
[8:48] I want to make a comment.
[8:50] Sure. That's what I say in a week away.
[8:54] We're recording it.
[8:56] You can search it.
[8:58] I mean, there's.
[9:00] Okay, I just want to make a comment that our gorgeous is on Marriace's and
[9:06] How for East Various to be on the case for case basis just because we do something one day as it being we have to do it the next day
[9:14] There is no precedent.
[9:19] This is also the one that we were looking into the change or actual ordinance to a four-on-line
[9:32] Any other comments or against
[9:38] yes, my most was here if y'all had any questions or anything
[9:41] Mr. Ritter is our attorney
[9:43] I'd like to go and ask you may questions if you need any time.
[9:46] Any time?
[9:47] Yes.
[9:48] I'm also your prosecutor.
[9:52] I'm also your prosecutor.
[9:54] So I guess if you go ahead and go to public hearing,
[9:58] there's no other comments at this time.
[10:01] What do you think about this?
[10:02] Yes.
[10:03] And go on to the next.
[10:04] Okay.
[10:04] The next item is to discuss and take possible action regarding
[10:07] a variance for the 142 debt and debt search.
[10:13] I'd like to make a motion.
[10:15] We go ahead and write this variance.
[10:16] But cause the general minority has a 16 percent back on existing. It's not going to harm anything. No one
[10:26] Protested against or had a negative comment. So I can most of you would grab the variance for one point and do me back.
[10:33] I'll second on paper.
[10:39] Any opposed.
[10:41] Motion carries motion carries. Go ahead and adjourn the board of adjustments.
[10:47] So we're going to have to prepare for this kind of thing.
