[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] or far are means okay if no further
[17:05] questions comments
[17:07] I'm going to close the public hearing do
[17:10] we need okay go back to the meeting and
[17:24] is there anybody have a motion in this
[17:27] matter in your discussion I'll make a
[17:34] motion that we accept it the five will
[17:37] put the if you'll pressure machine so we
[17:43] have a motion in a second I'll second
[17:45] that
[17:47] vote your machines
[17:53] it's four to one vote the motion carries
[17:57] so the the variance request has been
[18:00] approved was again thanks for doing it
