Public Hearing
Mr. Richardson explained that the request was for a variance from the side yard setback
requirement of 7-1/2' to 5.4 feet. The applicant originally applied for and received a building
permit for a one-story addition to the rear of his house. Later, he decided he wanted to add
a second story to this addition. A second story requires that there be a side yard interior
setback of 7-1/2 feet. Therefore, he stopped construction on his addition and applied for the
variance.
Staff recommended approval of the variance request because it felt that it meets the three
conditions for approval of a variance.
Twenty-five notices were sent to property owners within 200 feet of the subject property.
There were no responses returned in favor or in opposition.
In response to a question by Board Member LaBiche, Mr. Duren said the 7-1/2' requirement
was adopted in the 1981 Zoning Ordinance.
Board Member Fuller opened the public hearing and asked if the applicant wanted to
comment.
Darrell Redeaux, Sr., the applicant, addressed the Board. He told the Board he needed the
addition for bedrooms for his children.
Chairman Fuller asked for comments in favor or in opposition. There being none, the public

Board Member LaBiche made a motion to approve the variance as stated in File #369-BA.
Board Member Jowers seconded the motion. Motion to approve carried 5:0. (Acting
Chairman Fuller abstained.)
