409 Allenwood (Cont.) (Agenda Item III)
Mr. Eddie Bridges, owner of the property in question, was
present but did not speak at this time.
No one spoke AGAINST this proposal.
Chairman Karlsruher closed the public hearing.
Chairman Karlsruher advised the Board that he had driven by the
property and made a visual inspection. Mel Hilkemeier advised
that this is an R-3 zoning area, with a 20 -foot rear building
line. He advised many of the surrounding structures were existing
before the ordinance was adopted.
Board researched the ordinance to determine whether the building
line is measured from the property line or from the edge of the
drainage easement. It was found that the building line would be
measured from the edge of the property.
