[6:38]
file number 19 Joan and Curtis Nylund
[6:42]
3741 Emily drive Port Allen Louisiana to
[6:45]
erect a metal building at the end of the
[6:47]
driveway they request a variance of five
[6:51]
feet from the west side setback 15 feet
[6:55]
is required requesting a 10 foot instead
[6:58]
the neighbors have no objections to a
[7:01]
10-foot request will open the public
[7:05]
hearing and ask if mr. mosz Nilan or
[7:08]
either of y'all or both of you want to
[7:11]
be heard or
[7:22]
we appreciate the board for here in our
[7:25]
petition tonight just as we said we plan
[7:28]
to erect a metal building a red iron
[7:32]
frame it's a very nice very
[7:37]
well-constructed piece not a tubular
[7:41]
frame or anything like that it is
[7:42]
color-coded trimming all onto it so it
[7:45]
adds to the value of the property I
[7:48]
would like to have the as much variance
[7:51]
as possible due to the fact of the width
[7:53]
of the building winds up behind the
[7:56]
garage itself so the more that I can get
[8:00]
on the easement from the Western
[8:03]
property will help but we understand you
[8:06]
know the the limits that we have so when
[8:12]
you can see about where it's going to be
[8:14]
at on the back section of the property
[8:18]
there is there any questions of anyone
[8:22]
would like to ask for anything one thing
[8:26]
I'm sure it's all very nice the thing
[8:30]
that comes to my mind is setting a
[8:32]
precedent can you put that building up
[8:37]
using the 15 foot variance or is it just
[8:40]
an inconvenience or it won't fit or just
[8:43]
what it pushes one-third of the building
[8:47]
behind the garage making the two double
[8:50]
doors you know one of the two double
[8:52]
doors unusable the only other way to
[8:55]
make it work would be to spin it 180
[8:58]
degrees back it up to the garage that
[9:01]
you see that comes off the back of the
[9:03]
home facing the whole building then west
[9:06]
now that puts me closer to the rear of
[9:11]
property line I think it's gonna push me
[9:15]
with under ten feet might be something
[9:20]
like five to seven but I did not make a
[9:23]
close measurement on it either one will
[9:25]
work
[9:30]
back the various restrictions just asked
[9:43]
he said either one would work and the
[9:46]
side sent back in my mind which set a
[9:50]
precedence for everybody else in that
[9:52]
neighborhood if it'll fit with turning
[9:56]
the building 180 degrees if he reaches
[9:59]
the template variance I mean that may be
[10:03]
a better option just throwing that out
[10:06]
there for people thinking that the only
[10:09]
thing I'm thinking about is you're
[10:11]
talking about if he does it to the side
[10:13]
it turns around the other way it's only
[10:15]
just a few feet difference and it
[10:17]
doesn't look appealing I don't think
[10:19]
subdivision B no I has nothing to do
[10:22]
with that statics that way yeah the only
[10:24]
thing I'm saying is there's a lot of
[10:27]
houses when we got and this is strictly
[10:31]
asking for a variance for convenience it
[10:40]
would look better with function better
[10:41]
on I understand it would be perfect the
[10:45]
way you're saying but as is we'd allow
[10:50]
that variance I don't know how we would
[10:53]
tell anybody else on that street that
[10:55]
they could
[11:03]
if you did turn it 180 degrees you say
[11:07]
you're not sure how far from the back of
[11:09]
property line that would be I can do a
[11:13]
rough math you know in my head and see
[11:15]
its see 24 foot puts me 10 it would put
[11:21]
me roughly 130 feet it's gonna put me
[11:27]
right at the 10 feet okay line point
[11:30]
because the building right now is 24
[11:33]
feet in depth which puts me close to the
[11:38]
10 foot line from the back so if I add
[11:41]
the other 10 feet to it spin it around
[11:43]
I'm gonna be over you know pushing back
[11:47]
to that line if you're spending around
[11:49]
want to make that building less
[11:50]
functional no wood it would not make it
[11:54]
less functional I'm gonna have to rework
[11:57]
concrete anyway
[11:59]
the slabs going to six inches it's going
[12:01]
to be a two-foot footing all the way
[12:03]
around so it just puts me pretty close
[12:07]
to the canal bank I did not like to say
[12:11]
take good hard measurements on that way
[12:15]
me because I assumed it would be so it's
[12:17]
possible that you could be closer than
[12:20]
you should be that 10-foot setback is
[12:22]
fun I'm afraid I'm over by the math I
[12:25]
know that I'm gonna be over because I'm
[12:27]
right at it right now at 24 feet give or
[12:30]
take a foot I'm right at that 10 foot
[12:33]
marker so if I add another you know if
[12:36]
we go from 24 to 30 years I'm 5 feet
[12:39]
into it without you know any question at
[12:43]
all if that is ok and if that's why we
[12:45]
have to go I can make it work
[12:48]
the problem right now is that the by
[12:51]
shoving it to the east right now as much
[12:56]
as 13 feet it makes half of it unusable
[12:58]
from an entryway right at 5 feet
[13:02]
you know if I'm getting 10 foot variants
[13:05]
right where the door is right against
[13:08]
the edge of the of the shop area right
[13:13]
at the tail end of it
[13:15]
if I could get to five it really makes
[13:18]
it completely functional but I'm willing
[13:23]
to work any way I can you know with this
[13:25]
to see if we can get to some agreement
[13:28]
on it I'm stuck with a shop right now
[13:30]
sitting back there and pieces do it
[13:35]
my only dilemma is it has nothing to do
[13:39]
with the aesthetic quality I'm quite
[13:41]
sure looking at your house it's big
[13:42]
enough I could probably drop to the my
[13:44]
house but what's fair to everybody else
[13:51]
on Emily Drive is what comes into play
[13:54]
if we okay that without a hardship
[13:58]
that's irreversible you know that you
[14:01]
just can't get around it it opens up a
[14:06]
precedent for anybody else on that very
[14:09]
long street full of houses to do the
[14:11]
same thing and whether their neighbors
[14:14]
like it or not it's gets sticky
[14:23]
I'm just gonna ask if you moved it over
[14:28]
to I guess you said the east you'd lose
[14:31]
usage of one of the double garage doors
[14:34]
completely yeah it makes it a single
[14:37]
entry then instead of the double which
[14:39]
was originally designed for understeer
[14:43]
I'm moving up as far as I can to on top
[14:47]
of the house just about with it but I'm
[14:50]
sure you are
[14:50]
I know you're trying to make this work
[14:53]
and I want to see it work but I just
[14:59]
want to let everybody know they need to
[15:04]
pick what's best for not only this
[15:06]
gentleman here but everybody else on the
[15:09]
street you know who knows it opens up
[15:13]
that I'll call it a can of worms it may
[15:16]
never come up but there's a lot of
[15:19]
people live on that Street and they're
[15:21]
depending on the the guidelines that
[15:23]
were established there's a lot of them
[15:27]
who have gone over those guidelines yeah
[15:29]
yes and got through it yes and I'll try
[15:34]
to play by the rules
[15:35]
yes sir all right and I know exactly
[15:37]
what you're saying and I commend you for
[15:39]
it and that's why I say we want to do
[15:41]
everything we can't for you in for
[15:44]
everybody else but yeah there's no
[15:47]
telling how many people are putting up a
[15:49]
building just like yours and going down
[15:51]
through it's it's a nice Center vision I
[15:55]
don't want to see anything you know
[15:57]
really to cause it to to drop I mean
[16:00]
it's a lot of money and people in homes
[16:02]
and things there it's a very nice place
[16:04]
yeah I used to live there my ex-wife
[16:07]
still has my house know where we get
[16:11]
along I've been there I don't have
[16:16]
anything else anybody else got any other
[16:19]
comments or questions if we approve as
[16:22]
presented you're good your neighbors are
[16:25]
good you can use this a functional
[16:27]
building as for what everything's
[16:29]
planned it can go in
[16:32]
that you told me that the ten-foot
[16:34]
correct it will work at that limit I can make it work just a point of water
[16:40]
with the only thing we can do is what is
[16:42]
requested we can't right yeah that's not
[16:44]
right we can either turn it up or down
[16:48]
we can't bury it because that's what the
[16:51]
public notice was over okay thank you
[16:54]
any other questions or comments
[16:58]
anybody in the audience care to be heard
[17:01]

[17:05]
questions comments
[17:07]
