Mr. Skip Mooney represented the property owner. Mr. Jerry Mays opened the appeal hearing at 6:30 p.m. Mr. Mooney appealed to the council that they vote to approve the appeal granting a 19 foot front yard variance bringing it into technical compliance with the ordinance. Also, that it would present a hardship to have it removed by the property owner and that affidavits by the neighbors stated that they did not object to the structure. He further suggested the council might vote to fine the contractor, Mr. Miller.
