[4. BZA2605-005 Accessory Structure Request - Morgan Farms Subdivision, Section 3, Lot 3, 1804 Camborne Place, Zoning OSRD - Applicant: Dante Dewitt]

MORGAN FARMS SUBDIVISION SECTION THREE LOT THREE AT 1804 CAMBORNE PLACE ZONING OSRD, ALLISON, UH, DANTE DEWIT REQUEST

[00:05:01]

APPROVAL OF A 572 SQUARE FOOT DETACHED STRUCTURE TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE REAR BUILDABLE AREA OF THE LOT.

THE STRUCTURE WAS CONSTRUCTED BY A PREVIOUS CONTRACTOR WITHOUT PRIOR CITY APPROVAL OR ISSUANCE OF THE REQUIRED BUILDING PERMIT.

UH, THE HOMEOWNER IS CURRENTLY WORKING TO BRING THE STRUCTURE INTO COMPLIANCE.

UH, THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED OF CEDAR POST BOARD AND BAT AND THAT'S A TYPO.

I APOLOGIZE.

UM, SIDING PAINTED WHITE TO MATCH THE EXISTING TRIM OF THE EXISTING HOUSE BRICK ACCENTS AND A SHINGLE ROOF.

IT IS APPROXIMATELY 19 FEET TALL FROM THE LOWEST ADJACENT GRAY TO THE PEAK OF THE ROOF.

AND THE TOTAL HEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURE IS APPROXIMATELY 16 FEET TALL AND IS SITTING ON A ONE AND A HALF FOOT SEAT WALL.

AND PILLARS, WE HAVE ONE CONDITION OF APPROVAL, UH, INSPECTION BY A THIRD PARTY STRUCTURAL ENGINEER WILL BE REQUIRED.

AND THERE ARE FOUR ADDITIONAL STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SUBJECT TO HELP BUILDING CODES AND STAFF NOTES.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

YES.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU SAID THERE? THEY'RE COME TO THE CITY TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE, UM, MEANING THAT SINCE IT WASN'T, UH, IT'S OVER 2 25, SO THEY DIDN'T GET PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE BCA BEING YOU GUYS.

UM, AND YOU KNOW, ANYTHING GREATER THAN 2 25 FOR A DETACHED STRUCTURE OR TALLER THAN 12 FEET TALL IS REQUIRED TO BE APPROVED BY THE BCA AND THEN ALSO IT WAS BUILT WITHOUT A PERMIT.

SO WE'RE COMING TO THE BZA TO GET APPROVAL FOR IT BEING OVER 2 25.

AND THEN AFTER THIS WE'RE GONNA MOVE INTO PERMITTING.

SO LUCKILY, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BILLED WITHOUT A PERMIT, IT IS WITHIN THE SETBACK.

SO THAT FROM A COMPLIANCE STANDPOINT, UM, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S WITHIN THE SETBACKS.

IT MEETS OUR SIZE REQUIREMENT.

IT'S NOT GREATER THAN 750 SQUARE FEET AND IT MEETS OUR HEIGHT REQUIREMENT.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO ALL OF THE BACKGROUND, UH, STUFF THAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE CONSTRUCTION.

BUT ESSENTIALLY CONSTRUCTION IS STOPPED UNTIL THIS PROCESS IS COMPLET, CORRECT? YES.

NOW I'LL ASK, IS THERE SOMEONE HERE REPRESENTING THE PROJECT, IF YOU CAN COME FORWARD AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF? ABSOLUTELY.

I'M DANTE DEWITT, THE HOMEOWNER.

I, ALRIGHT.

DANTE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO WHAT ALLISON HAS PRESENTED? RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY, THE ONLY THING, AND NOT THAT IT'S SUPER RELEVANT, BUT WE ACTUALLY PAID, UM, UM, A, A CONTRACTOR TO COME DO IT.

WE PAID HIM TO ACTUALLY DO THE PERMITTING.

HE SAID HE DID THE PERMITTING.

UM, TURNS OUT LATER ON HE ACTUALLY DIDN'T DO THE PERMITTING FOR US AND A BUNCH OF OTHERS AND HE WENT TO PRISON FOR IT.

SO HE'S, HE'S OUTTA THE PICTURE.

BUT WE HAD TO THEN GO FINISH UP, FINISH UP.

WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE PERMITTING WASN'T DONE.

SO WE FINISHED THE WORK WITHOUT HIM.

'CAUSE THE, THE FOUNDATION WAS POURED, THE FRAMING WAS DONE ALL, WE ACTUALLY HAD THE ROOFING DONE AND SO FORTH.

UM, AND GOT OTHER, UH, YOU KNOW, PERMITTED, UH, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, UH, QUALIFIED LIKE ELECTRICIAN OR WHATEVER, UM, TO FINISH IT UP ON OUR OWN.

BUT HE WAS OUTTA THE PICTURE BECAUSE HE'S NOW WENT TO PRISON.

JAIL, WHATEVER.

YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS FOR YOU? SO THE, UM, CEDAR POST ACTUALLY SIT ON THE CONCRETE WALLS.

AND ARE THOSE TWO FRONT ALSO LIKE CONCRETE PILLARS? NO, ACTUALLY THERE'S, UM, THERE'S A CEMENT.

UH, IT'S POURED CEMENT, BUT WHERE THE PILLARS ARE, IT GOES DOWN AN EXTRA FOOT AND A HALF.

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS THERE'S A METAL POST IN THERE AND THIS IS ALL IN THE VIDEO AND IT COMES UP AND THERE'S LIKE A METAL THING LIKE THIS, AND THOSE POSTS SIT ON THE METAL POST.

AND THEN THE, AND THEN THE, THE STONE WAS BUILT AROUND THAT.

GOTCHA.

SO THE, THE STONE IS, IS DECORATIVE NOT STRUCTURAL? CORRECT.

UH, JUST ENSURING, BECAUSE THIS, THAT THIS DOES NOT FIT THE DEFINITION OF PROHIBITED STRUCTURES WITH WOOD POSTS, WITH METAL ROOF.

UH, JUST IN THIS IS, THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THAT.

THIS WOULD BE WOOD POSTS, BUT BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF STRUCTURE IT IS, IT WOULD NOT FIT THAT CORRECT.

AND YOU GUYS HAVE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, UH, WOOD PAVILION STRUCTURES, BUT ALSO YOU CAN WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT OF MATERIALS BEING, YOU KNOW, 100% COMPATIBLE WITH THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE OR WITH THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE.

IF YOU DON'T FEEL THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S DETRIMENTAL TO THE SURROUNDING AREA.

AND THAT ROOF, JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT IT'S A, IT'S A TILE, ASPHALT, TILE SHINGLES THE SAME AS OUR HOUSE.

MM-HMM .

AND, UH, BASICALLY LIKE SHIPLAP INSIDE, INSIDE THE ROOF, IF YOU WANNA CALL IT THAT.

SHIPLAP OF THE,

[00:10:01]

THE WOOD, THE ROOF.

YEAH.

CAN YOU SEE IT THERE? YEAH.

THE INTERIOR, RIGHT.

THERE'S, THEY JUST PUT MORE CEDAR UNDERNEATH.

THERE YOU GO.

YOUR BOARDS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK WE DID RECEIVE ONE LETTER REGARDING THAT.

UH, YEAH, YOU GUYS RECEIVED I THINK TWO DIFFERENT NOTIFICATIONS AND THEN I ALSO RECEIVED, UH, A PHONE CALL.

ALRIGHT.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK REGARDING THIS REQUEST? DO WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR HIM? I DO NOT.

IS THERE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL? I JUST WANNA STATE WE NEED TO ADD, UM, A CONDITION THAT WE'RE, WE'RE WAIVING THE MATERIALS BECAUSE IT'S PREVIOUSLY CONSTRUCTED.

UH, THAT, THAT THE CEDAR, THE CEDAR COLUMNS DO NOT NECESSARILY MATCH THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE.

UM, AND THAT WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT.

I THINK WE NEED TO ADD THAT.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU WANNA MAKE THAT MOTION? UH, I'LL, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE WITH, UH, THE CONDITIONS AS STATED PLUS THAT ONE.

IF THAT WAS COHERENT ENOUGH.

IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU? UH, YEAH, I CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

AND IS THERE A SECOND? THERE'S A SECOND.
