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