[3. BZA2608-003       Variance Request - 913 Franklin Road, Zoning AR / R-2 - Applicant: Jost Architecture ]

OKAY.

UH, THE THIRD ITEM ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA IS BZA 2 6 8 DASH ZERO THREE PARDON ME.

VARIANCE REQUEST AT NINE 13 FRANKLIN ROAD ZONING AR R TWO ALLISON.

ALRIGHT.

I'M APOLOGIZE 'CAUSE THIS IS A LONG STAFF REPORT, SO IT WILL NOT BE SHORT AS THE PREVIOUS TWO ONES.

UM, SO THIS IS A VARIANCE REQUEST TONIGHT BEFORE YOU, FOR NINE 13 FRANKLIN ROAD, UM, WHICH IS DESIGNATED AS A HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT SITE KNOWN AS MONT VIEW.

UM, IT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1860 AND THE PROPERTY WAS PLACED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF THE HISTORIC OF HISTORIC PLACES IN 1986, AND IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE DAVIS ROSWELL RESIDENCE.

UH, THE APPLICANT JOT ARCHITECTURE IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR THREE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY RATHER THAN THE TWO STRUCTURES ALLOWED BY THE BRENTWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE.

SECTION 78 DASH 22 3 STATES THAT ON PARCELS OF AT LEAST THREE, BUT LESS THAN FIVE ACRES IN SIZE, TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ARE ALLOWED.

ACCORDING TO THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY PROPERTY ASSESSOR, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY 4.96 ACRES.

HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THE WIDENING OF FRANKLIN ROAD, THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY FIVE ACRES IN SIZE.

UM, SO CURRENTLY ON THE PROPERTY, UM, WE HAVE A, UH, A SMOKEHOUSE, THE PODDING SHED, A GARAGE, AND THEN A POOL HOUSE THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION THAT YOU ALL WILL SEE AFTER, UM, THIS VARIANCE REQUEST.

THE, UM, LET'S SEE.

SO THERE, THE POTTING SHED, THE GARAGE AND THE SMOKEHOUSE ARE ALL, ALL THE NATIONAL REGISTER, ALONG WITH THE EXISTING PRIMARY RESIDENCE, UM, THE BRICK HOUSE AND THE PADDING SHED, WHICH IS THEY'RE CALLING THE FRAME OR WHAT IS CALLED THE FRAME STRUCTURE, UM, BUT IS KNOWN AS THE PADDING SHED ARE CONTRIBUTING HISTORIC RESOURCES.

WHILE THE FRAME GARAGE SLASH SHED IS A NON-CONTRIBUTING RESOURCE, UM, A CONTRIBUTING RESOURCE IS ANY BUILDING OBJECT OR STRUCTURE, WHICH ADDS TO THE HISTORICAL INTEGRITY OR ARCHITECTURAL QUALITIES THAT MAKE THE HISTORIC DISTRICT SIGNIFICANT.

AGAIN, THE POTTING, THE SMOKEHOUSE, THE POTTING SHED, AND THE GARAGE ARE ALL IDENTIFIED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER LISTING.

IN 2025, CONSTRUCTION BEGAN ON THE POOL HOUSE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OR A PERMIT FROM THE PLANNING AND CODES DEPARTMENT.

A STOP WORK ORDER WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ISSUED, AND CONSTRUCTION WAS HALTED WHILE A PERMANENT SOLUTION WAS EXPLORED THAT WOULD ADDRESS THE EXISTING ACCESSORY STRUCTURES WHILE ALLOWING FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE POOL HOUSE.

UH, THE APPLICANT HAS DEVELOPED, UM, A MASTER PLAN TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY BY ONE WHILE PRESERVING THE PROPERTY.

SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES, THERE'S NO CHANGES, UM, PROPOSED TO THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE OTHER THAN, UM, INCORPORATING THE SMOKEHOUSE INTO THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE THROUGH A KITCHEN ADDITION AND A COVERED WALKWAY, WHICH WOULD CHANGE THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE SMOKEHOUSE FROM AN ACCESSORY TO A SEMI-DETACHED STRUCTURE.

SO HERE IS, UM, A PLAN THAT SHOWS THE INCORPORATION OF THE SMOKEHOUSE INTO THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE TO MAKE IT A SEMI-DETACHED STRUCTURE, UH, WHICH WOULD BE COVERED BY A WALKWAY.

SO CURRENTLY THE SMOKEHOUSE SITS BEHIND THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE AND WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS TO, UH, DO AN ADDITION WITH A COVERED

[00:10:01]

UM, UNDER THE MASTER PLAN, THE PROPERTY WOULD CONTAIN THREE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, THE POTTING SHED, THE GARAGE, AND THE POOL HOUSE THAT WAS STARTED WITHOUT FORMAL APPROVAL.

UH, THE VARIANCE IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO ALLOW THE THREE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES TO REMAIN WHILE IMPLEMENTING THE OVERALL MASTER PLAN.

ON, UH, JULY 17TH, 2026, PLANNING AND CODE STAFF PRESENTED THE MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL TO THE HISTORIC COMMISSION.

THE INITIAL PROPOSAL CONTEMPLATED REMOVING THE POTTING SHED IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURE LIMITATIONS AS REQUIRED BY THE BRENT BRENTWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE.

UNDER THAT PROPOSAL, INCORPORATION OF THE SMOKEHOUSE INTO THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE AND REMOVAL OF THE PADDING SHED WOULD'VE RESULTED IN ONLY TWO DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, THE GARAGE AND THE POOL HOUSE.

THE HISTORIC COMMISSION RECOMMENDED PRESERVATION OF THE PODDING SHED DUE TO THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THE PROPERTY AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE AS A RESOURCE IDENTIFIED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES.

UH, IN RESPONSE TO THIS RECOMMENDATION, THE APPLICANT REVISED THE MASTER PLAN TO PRESERVE THE PADDING SHED AND INCORPORATE THE SMOKEHOUSE INTO THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE.

UH, THE REVISED PLANS RESULTED IN THREE DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND IS THE BASIS FOR THIS, UH, REQUESTED VARIANCE.

UM, THAT'S ALL.

LET'S SEE.

SORRY, I'M GONNA TRY TO SHORTEN THIS IF I CAN.

THAT IS DUPLICATED WAIVE READING.

HUH? CAN WE WAIVE READING IF WE VOTED ON IT? YEAH, I'M OVER.

I'M DONE WITH THE LIKE STAFF REPORT PART.

UM, THAT PERSON, SORRY.

UM, SO THERE ARE, UH, PURSUANT TO SECTION 78 DASH 59 OF THE BRENTWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE, THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HEAR AND DECIDE APPLICATIONS FOR VARIANCES.

BUT ONLY WHEN THREE CRITERIA ARE MET BY STATE LAW.

UM, CRITERIA NUMBER ONE IS WHEREBY REASON OF EXCEPTIONAL NARROWNESS, SHALLOWNESS OR SHAPE OF A SPECIFIC PIECE OF PROPERTY AT THE TIME OF THE ENACTMENT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE, OR BY REASON OF EXCEPTIONAL TOPOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS OR EXTRAORDINARY AND EXCEPTIONAL SITUATION OR CONDITION.

SUCH A PIECE OF PROPERTY IS NOT ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEVELOPMENT AS REQUIRED UNDER THIS ORDINANCE.

UM, DO YOU GUYS, I GUESS THIS IS ALL PART OF THE RECORD 'CAUSE IT'S ONLINE.

OKAY.

DO YOU WANT ME TO READ EVERYTHING? I, I, I MOVED TO WAIVE THE REMAINDER OF THE READING.

OKAY.

I'M GONNA AT LEAST DO WHAT STAFF RECOMMENDS.

OKAY.

OKAY.

UM, SO FOR CRITERIA ONE, UM, GIVEN THE PROPERTY'S DESIGNATION OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES, THE CON PRESENCE OF CONTRIBUTING HISTORIC RESOURCES THAT WARRANT PRESERVATION AND THE EXISTING NUMBER AND CONFIGURATION OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, STAFF FINDS THAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY CONSTITUTE AN EXTRA ORDINARY AND EXCEPTIONAL SITUATION OR CONDITION.

STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE LIMITATION WOULD REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF HISTORICAL RESOURCE IN ORDER TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE, DESPITE THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL TO REDUCE THE OVERALL NUMBER OF DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND PRESERVE THE PROPERTY'S HISTORIC CHARACTER.

THESE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE UNIQUE TO THE PROPERTY AND ARE NOT GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO THE OTHER PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY.

THEREFORE, STAFF FINDS THAT THIS CRITERIA HAS BEEN MET, UM, CRITERIA NUMBER TWO, THE STRICT APPLICATION OF ANY PROVISION ENACTED UNDER THE ZONING ORDINANCE WOULD RESULT IN PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES TO OR UNDUE HARDSHIP UNDER THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

UH, STRICT APPLICATION OF THE TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.

LIMITATIONS WOULD THEREFORE REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF HISTORIC RESOURCE THAT THE HISTORIC COMMISSION HAS RECOMMENDED.

PRESERVING STAFF FINDS THAT REQUIRING REMOVAL OF THE POTTING SHED SOLELY TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH ACCESSORY STRUCTURE LIMITATION WOULD CREATE PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY IN UNDUE HARDSHIP FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER.

THEREFORE, STAFF FINDS THAT THIS CRITERIA HAS BEEN MET.

AND NUMBER THREE, THE RELIEF MAY BE GRANTED WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO THE PUBLIC GOOD AND WITHOUT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRING THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

UH, IN THIS CASE, THE REQUESTED RELIEF IS SPECIFIC TO THE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH IS HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT SITE KNOWN AS MONT VIEW, AND IS LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES.

THE CIRCUMSTANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, INCLUDING ITS HISTORIC DE DESIGNATION, CONTRIBUTING HISTORIC RESOURCES AND PRESERVATION

[00:15:01]

AS SUCH, GRANTING THE VARIANCE WOULD NOT ESTABLISH A GENERAL PRECEDENT ON SIMILAR SITUATION PROPERTIES.

STAFF FINDS THAT THE REQUEST RELIEF WOULD NOT BE SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO THE PUBLIC GOOD AND WOULD NOT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIR THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

THEREFORE, STAFF FINDS THAT THIS CRITERIA HAS BEEN MET AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST AS SHOWN IN EXHIBIT A OF THE ATTACHMENTS.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY PRESENTS AN EXTRAORDINARY OR EXCEPTIONAL SITUATION OR CONDITION DUE TO ITS HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE AND THE PRESENCE OF CONTRIBUTING HISTORIC RESOURCES THAT WARRANT PRESERVATION.

THE STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE WOULD RESULT IN PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES, UNDUE HARDSHIP BY REQUIRING THE REMOVAL OF HISTORIC ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PERMITTED ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.

THE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ARE UNIQUE AND DO NOT GENERALLY APPLY TO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

STAFF FINDS THAT GRANTING THE REQUESTED VARIANCE WOULD NOT BE SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO THE PUBLIC GOOD AND WOULD NOT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIR THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

THEREFORE, STAFF FINDS THAT THE APPLICABLE CRITERIA FOR GRANTING THE VARIANCE HAS BEEN MET AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

I'M DONE.

I THANK YOU.

IS THERE SOMEONE HERE REPRESENTING THIS, UH, REQUEST GETTING DOUBLE TEAM HERE? IF YOU COULD INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

ABSOLUTELY.

STEVE GRANT WITH EXCESS INDUSTRIES WOULD BE THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR ON THIS PROJECT.

OKAY.

STEVE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO WHAT ALLISON HAS READ FOR THE LAST 20 MINUTES? .

THANK YOU, ALLISON.

I'M KIDDING.

I'M KIDDING.

SHE'S BEEN BELABORING THIS WITH US FOR QUITE A WHILE, SO SHE DID A PERFECT JOB.

OKAY.

A ANY ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? UH, YEAH, JUST FOR OUR OWN SAKE, UM, WE WERE NOT THE CONTRACTOR THAT STARTED THE POOL HOUSE WITHOUT PERMITS.

WE GOT CALLED IN AFTER THE FACT TO TRY TO HELP REMEDY THIS SITUATION.

SO WHEN THE WORK, WHEN THE STOP WORK ORDER HAPPENED, THE HOMEOWNER RELEASED THE CONTRACTOR THAT THEY WERE USING AT THAT POINT IN TIME REACHED OUT TO US AND THEN WE CAME IN AND STARTED TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

WHO WAS THE CONTRACTOR? UH, UH DO WE, IT WAS, UH, ROWAN CONTRACTING.

YEAH.

I THINK IS THE NAME OF IT.

OKAY.

UH, BOARD MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STEVE? I DON'T.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK REGARDING THIS REQUEST? ALLISON, ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THIS REQUEST? I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A NEIGHBORING, UM, RESIDENT ON FOUNTAINHEAD DRIVE, NOT IN COMPLETE REGARDS TO THE VARIANCE REQUEST OR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE REQUESTS, BUT MORE SO I GUESS KIND OF RELATED 'CAUSE IT'S REGARDS TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND ADDITIONS ON THE LOTS.

BUT, UM, THIS NEIGHBOR'S BEING KIND OF FLOODED OUT BY CONSTRUCTION THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BACKYARD THAT HAVE TAKEN AWAY A LOT OF GRASS.

SO THEY'VE, UM, ASKED STAFF TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE, THE DRAINAGE SITUATION.

'CAUSE IT DOES FLOW DIRECTLY ONTO FOUNTAIN HEAD NEIGHBORS.

SO, UM, PROBABLY AT PERMITTING WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

GO AHEAD.

ALL OF YOU ALL WITH EXODUS? UH, NO, I'M NOT.

SHE'S THE ARCHITECT.

I'M AN JUST THE HOMEOWNER'S NOT HERE.

NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY.

ANY, ANY QUESTIONS? IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE VARIANT? I WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO, UM, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I DISAGREE WITH THE STAFF'S INTERPRETATION ON THIS.

OKAY.

SO YOU WANNA STATE THAT? I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT.

SO, UM, ONE OF THE ISSUES IS THAT, UM, I, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL GIVE MY REASONING OVERALL OF HOW I THINK IT COULD BE APPROVED, WHICH IS, I THINK BETTER FOR THE ZONING ORDINANCE IN GENERAL.

'CAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE ASSUMING THAT THE, THE POOL HOUSE, UH, I'LL, I'LL BACK UP.

UM, WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE A POOL HOUSE, RIGHT? UH, WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION THAT BUILD A POOL HOUSE.

THAT'S ALWAYS A CHOICE.

THAT'S THE NEXT CHOICE.

THAT'S ON THE NEXT REQUEST.

CORRECT.

BUT THIS ALLOWS FOR MORE STRUCTURES TO BE BUILT THAN ARE ALLOWED UNDER THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

MY TAKE ON IT IS THAT THIS IS A 4.96 ACRE PROPERTY, WHICH IS ABOUT 1200 SQUARE FEET SHORT OF FIVE ACRES.

SO IF YOU TAKE THE ABOUT 300 FEET OF ROAD FRONTAGE, THE, AND FRANKLIN ROAD WAS EXPANDED.

SO ALL YOU HAVE IS FOUR FEET

[00:20:01]

MY TAKE ON IT IS THAT THE, THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS ACTUALLY RESTORING OR REMEDYING THE PROPERTY BACK TO FIVE ACRES AND CONSIDERING IT UNDER THE GREATER THAN FIVE ACRE, UM, CRITERIA, WHICH ALLOWS FOR TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND AN AR AS MANY AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS AS THEY WOULD LIKE TO, AND IN WHICH THIS CASE, THOSE AGRICULTURAL STRUCTURES ALREADY EXIST IN THE POTTING SHED AND THE SMOKEHOUSE.

SO WE WOULD HAVE THE GARAGE AS EXISTING, UH, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ONE, AND THEN THE POOL HOUSE AS ACCESSORY STRUCTURE TWO.

SO TO ME THAT'S, THAT'S A BETTER TAKE AND IS TO ME, IN BETTER LINE WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE THAN TRYING TO PLAY WITH THE HISTORICAL NATURE OF THE BUILDINGS.

YES.

THE HISTORICAL NATURE.

BUT THERE'S, THERE'S TWO THOUGHTS IN MY MIND.

HISTORICAL BUILDINGS, YES, THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN, UH, GREAT CONSIDERATION FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

RIGHT.

UM, BUT THE, THE, THE GREATER THING IS WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE THE POOL HOUSE AS ANOTHER STRUCTURE THROUGH A VARIANCE REQUEST.

WE CAN DO IT THIS OTHER WAY, WHICH IS, AS I'VE STATED, THAT WILL COME AFTER THE POOL HOUSE IS NOT PART OF, THEY'RE JUST LOOKING FOR THE VARIANCE REQUEST IF THEY WERE TO ADD ANOTHER BUILDING.

SO WE KNOW THAT'S NEXT, BUT THAT'S NOT PART OF UNDERSTOOD.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS ALL, WE'RE ALL I WANT TO DO, AND THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS TO RESTORE THE PROPERTY, OR THE REMEDY IS TO SAY THAT IT'S A FIVE ACRE PROPERTY, OR IT WAS WHEN THIS WAS BUILT RATHER THAN UNDER THE THREE TO FIVE ACRE.

SO THAT'S THE, THE VARIANCE TO ME IS US APPROVING THAT IT'S CONSIDERED AS A GREATER THAN FIVE ACRE PARCEL SO THAT IT CAN HAVE TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, PLUS AS MANY AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS AS IT WOULD LIKE.

'CAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE IT TO WHERE THE POOL HOUSE IS.

THE SECOND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AS IT STANDS NOW, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE DOING THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.

I, I WANNA, I WANNA COMMENT.

I'M NOT, I'M IN FAVOR OF THE VARIANCE.

I DON'T THINK THAT WE CAN STATE THAT THE, THIS IS A FIVE ACRE LOT BECAUSE IN REALITY IT'S NOT.

IT'S 4.96.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS BOARD HAS MADE A VARIANCE FOR A PROPERTY WITH THAT HAS, UH, STRUCTURES THAT ARE PART OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER FOR HISTORIC PLACES.

AGREED.

AND I THINK WE ARE WELL WITHIN, YOU KNOW, OUR ABILITY TO MAKE THIS VARIANCE THAT IT STILL STANDS ON ITS OWN FEET IF WE APPROVE IT AS IT IS WRITTEN TODAY.

I JUST WANNA BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT STATING THAT THIS LOT IS FIVE ACRES.

WHEN IT IS NOT FIVE ACRES.

THAT'S 4.96.

THAT'S MY CONCERN.

MY CONTENTION IS THE 4.96 IS SO CLOSE TO BEING FIVE ACRES THAT WE COULD CONSIDER IT FIVE AS A VARIANCE TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE, BUT IT'S NOT BASED ON ITS HISTORY.

BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT FIVE ACRES.

THAT, THAT'S MY, THAT'S MY ONLY, I I DON'T, I JUST, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE STATING THAT THIS IS A FIVE ACRE LOT WHEN INDEED IT IS NOT.

I'M NOT EITHER.

THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN.

WELL, I, I THINK GOING THE OTHER ROUTE AND, YOU KNOW, SAYING, OH, HISTORICAL BUILDINGS, THOSE DON'T REALLY COUNT.

SO WE CAN ADD WHATEVER WE WANT TO THROUGH.

A VARIANCE REQUEST IS LESS IN KEEPING WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE, WITH ADDING THE POOL HOUSE.

WELL, I THINK WITH THE HISTORIC COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION, I THINK THAT THAT ADDS TO JUSTIFYING OUR DECISION TO GRANT A VARIANCE.

I MEAN, AT THE DAY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE CAN ALL HAVE OUR OPINION, WHICH IS GOOD.

CORRECT.

YEAH.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE UNANIMOUS.

TRUE.

AGREED.

YEAH.

MY TAKE ON IT IS IT ALREADY HAS THREE.

OKAY.

THE ZONING VARIANCE IS ASKING FOR NUMBER FOUR.

TH THEY'RE STILL GONNA HAVE THREE.

I KNOW THE SEMI-DETACHED, I GET THAT WITH THE SEMI-DETACHED.

YEAH, BUT IT WOULD STILL BE TWO IF YOU DID THE SEMI-DETACHED, THERE WOULD BE THE POTTING SHED IN THE GARAGE.

SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL ONE BEYOND THE TWO THAT'S REQUESTED.

ALRIGHT.

I'M GONNA ASK, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS WRITTEN IN OUR, IN THE VARIANCE REQUEST? MOTION TO APPROVE? IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL, SAY AYE.

AYE.

AYE.

ALL OPPOSED? NO, VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

I BELIEVE, IS THERE, SHOULD I, I STILL HAVE ONE MORE.

OH YEAH.

OH YEAH.

WAIT, YOU, YOU CAN DONE

[00:25:01]

YEAH.

NO, YOU'RE PERFECT.

OKAY.

UM, I THOUGHT WHERE .

ALRIGHT.

ALRIGHT.

YOU READY? YES.

OKAY.

[4. BZA2608-004       Accessory Structure Request - 913 Franklin Road, Zoning AR / R-2 - Applicant: Jost Architecture ]

OKAY.

UM, JOE'S ARCHITECTURE REQUESTS APPROVAL OF A 923 SQUARE FOOT DETACHED STRUCTURE TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE REAR BUILDABLE AREA OF THE LOT.

UM, THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE IS APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET TALL IN HEIGHT, AND IT IS DESIGNED TO COMPLIMENT THE EXISTING HISTORIC RESIDENCE.

THE POOL HOUSE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OF SALVAGED BRICK FROM THE ALBERT SAMUEL WARREN HOUSE IN NASHVILLE.

THE SALVAGED BRICK.

THE SALVAGE MATERIALS WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PRINCIPAL FACADE OF THE POOL HOUSE.

WHILE THE REMAINING FACADES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT THE HISTORIC CHARACTER AND MATERIALS OF THE EXISTING RESIDENCE.

THE PROPOSED POOL HOUSE WILL UTILIZE A TPO MEMBRANE ROOFING SYSTEM WITH A FLAT ROOF DESIGN SCREEN BEHIND A PARAPET WALL, UH, SECTION, UH, SORRY, HOLD ON.

UM, SECTION 78 DASH 22 4 OF THE BRENTWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE STATES THAT EXCEPT ON PARCELS OF THREE OR MORE ACRES AND SIZE, NO ACCESSORY BUILDING SHALL EXCEED 750 UH, SQUARE FEET OF GROSS FLOOR AREA AND OTHER IN ANY OTHER RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT THAN THE R ONE ZONING DISTRICT.

DISTRICT.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 4.96 ACRES AND A SPLIT ZONED AR R TWO.

UH, THEREFORE THE PROPOSED 923 SQUARE FOOT POOL HOUSE IS PERMITTED TO EXCEED THE 750 SQUARE FOOT LIMITATION APPLICABLE TO PARCELS LESS THAN THREE ACRES IN SIZE.

AGAIN, IN 2025.

CONSTRUCTION BEGAN ON THE POOL HOUSE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL AND A STOP WORK ORDER WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ISSUED.

AND THEN CONSTRUCTION HA WAS HALTED UNTIL A PERMANENT SOLUTION WAS PROPOSED.

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

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

STEVE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? NO, SIR.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

HOW FAR ALONG DID THEY GET ON THE POOL? I WOULD SAY THEY, WELL THERE'S, OH, THERE IT IS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YEP.

THERE, I WOULD SAY THEY'RE 60% OF THE WAY THERE, BUT THE HEAVY LIFTING STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE.

OKAY.

FROM THE CLADDING AND FINISHING OFF THE INTERIOR.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

UM, NOTHING ELSE TO ADD? NO, SIR.

ALRIGHT.

BOARD MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STEVE AND HIS TEAM? THE TPM ROOF? YES, SIR.

IS THAT A, UH, VISIBLE AT ALL FROM, SIR, THE GROUND? NO, IT HAS ABOUT, I THINK THE, THE PARAPET WALL IS WHAT, ALMOST THREE FEET? UM, THE PARAPET WALL.

IT, IT'LL BE ABOUT TWO FEET, BUT TWO FEET.

YEAH.

SO QUITE SCREENED.

IT'S A, AND IT'S 12 FOOT.

THE STRUCTURE'S ABOUT 12 FOOT TALL OR 15, 15 FOOT TALL.

SO IT WOULD, FROM THE AIR OBVIOUSLY.

SURE.

NO, FROM THE GROUND.

NO, SIR.

ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? BECAUSE THE HOUSE IS A METAL, A STANDING SEA METAL ROOF.

THAT IS CORRECT.

YEAH.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK REGARDING THIS REQUEST? ALLISON, DO YOU HAVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM ANYONE REGARDING THIS REQUEST? NO, JUST THE, UM, SAME COMMENT WOULD APPLY FROM THE NEIGHBOR ON FOUNTAINHEAD ABOUT, UH, THE DRAINAGE, WHICH WE'LL LOOK AT FOR PERMITTING.

OKAY.

AND A LOT OF THAT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE WAY THE PROJECT WAS HALTED, THE GRADING HAS NOT BEEN DONE.

THERE WAS NO MORE WORK DONE ON IT.

SO ONCE THAT'S REMEDIED, THAT'LL PROBABLY HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THOSE CHALLENGES AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL DIRECTION FROM THE CITY.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? YEP.

MOTION TO APPROVE.

THANK YOU ANDREW.

WE'LL FIND OUT.

ALRIGHT, BRANDON, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO WHAT, UH, ALLISON'S PRESENTED? NO.

YEAH, ALLISON DID A GOOD JOB.

THEY, WE HAD A DIFFERENT, UM, PLAN THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, BUT THEN THE HOMEOWNERS DECIDED THEY WANTED, UM, ONE THAT THEY COULD USE YEAR ROUND.

IT WAS JUST AN OPEN ONE AND THEY, THEY SWITCHED GEARS TO A YEAR ROUND.

OKAY.

ON, SO YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

IF, IF I MAY ASK, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY PLAN TO USE IT FOR POOL HOUSE PRIMARILY USE THE POOL HOUSE.

POOL HOUSE PRIMARILY, YES.

BUT, BUT THEN THEY, THEY COULD USE IT A LITTLE BIT, I GUESS IN THE WINTER TIME BECAUSE IT IS THE, THE DIFFERENT DESIGN TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.

OKAY.

YEAH.

ALRIGHT.

UM, BOARD MEMBERS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRANDON? YOU KNOW, THE CONCERN WE WORRY ABOUT IS HOW PEOPLE MIGHT USE THESE, UM, TO LIVE IN OR RENT OR RESELL.

I'M NOT SO AS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ONE WHEN IT HAS THOSE OPEN, CLEAR GARAGE DOOR, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT A CONCERN.

I'M GOOD.

IT'S ALSO A HALF BATH.

YEAH.

YEAH.

YEAH.

WHICH HELPS.

GOOD.

GOOD POINT.

YEAH.

YEAH.

I THINK THEY ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT JUST KEEPING BIRDS AND THINGS OUT.

I THINK THAT WAS THE, THE REASON THAT THEY SAID, HEY, WE'RE SWITCHING GEARS.

I THINK SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT BIRDS GETTING IN POOL HOUSES AND THEY SAID, OH, WE DON'T WANT THAT.

I, THAT'S THE REASON THEY PUMPED THE BRAKES AND THAT WAS THE, THE REAL GENESIS BEHIND THIS.

SWITCHING GEARS.

ALL RIGHT.

THE STRUCTURE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OF BRICK PAINTED TO MATCH EXISTING HOUSE WITH A SHAKE AND AL ACCENTS.

IT'LL HAVE A SHINGLE ROOF AND BE APPROXIMATELY 25 FEET TALL.

THERE'S ONE CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

AN ASALT SURVEY WILL BE REQUIRED PRIOR TO FINAL INSPECTION AND ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.

AND THERE ARE FOUR STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, SUB ALL BUILDING CODES AND STAFF NOTES.

OKAY.

ARE YOU HERE TO REPRESENT? I'M, IF, IF YOU WILL INTRODUCE YOURSELF, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'M FLEMING SMITH.

I'M AN ARCHITECT HERE IN NASHVILLE.

I LIVE AT 9 0 2 9 FOREST LAWN DRIVE.

I HAVE WITH ME MR. DAVID BRANCH, MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR AT 9 0 2 7.

UM, WE HAVE JUST A, A JUST A REALLY CUTE LITTLE BUILDING.

JUST A CUTE LITTLE GUY.

HE'S A POOL HOUSE.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO WHAT ALLISON'S PRESENTED? WELL, ALLISON AND I HAVE TALKED, UM, SO GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT THE CORRESPONDENCE.

SURE.

UM, SO, UH, FORWARDED TO THE BOARD WAS AN EMAIL FROM A N THE NEIGHBORING RESIDENCE

[00:35:01]

AND THEN ALSO MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT FOR CONDITIONING THE POOL HOUSE.

DID EVERYBODY READ THE EMAIL TODAY? YES.

MM-HMM .

YES.

SO THE, THE CON THE CONCERN WAS FROM, FROM THE NEIGHBOR WAS ABOUT THE, UH, LOCATION OF THE EQUIPMENT AND NOISE FOR THEIR PROPERTY.

UM, THE POOL HOUSE LOCATION, AS WELL AS THE EQUIPMENT LOCATION FOR BOTH THE HVAC AND THE POOL EQUIPMENT MEET REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE.

TECHNICALLY, THE HVAC UNIT COULD GO ON THE, WHAT WOULD I GUESS BE THEIR, THE REAR OR THE SIDE OF THE POOL HOUSE.

UM, THOSE ARE ALLOWED TO BE LOCATED OUTSIDE SETBACKS AND ON SIDES.

POOL HOUSE OR POOL EQUIPMENT ON THE OTHER HAND IS REQUIRED TO WITHIN THE REAR BUILDABLE AREA OF THE HOUSE.

BUT IT DOESN'T STATE THAT IT, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE FIRST, THE AERIAL? YES.

YES.

OKAY.

SO IT'S ON THE SIDE FOR OF 9 0 2.

5 2 5 2 5.

OKAY.

SO WHEN THAT PERSON WROTE THAT IT WAS 250 FEET FROM THEIR FENCE LINE INCORRECT.

YEAH, THAT WAS A, I MEASURE TYPO USING LIKE GOOGLE EARTH AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH, YOU KNOW, KIND OF DISTANCE.

AND IT WAS ABOUT 90 FEET FROM THE CLOSEST APPROACH OF THEIR HOUSE TO THE CLOSEST APPROACH OF APPROXIMATELY WHERE THE FENCE, FENCE OR HOUSE.

HOUSE.

SO 30 YARDS.

YEAH.

YEAH.

OKAY.

AND THAT'S CORNER OF HOUSE TO CLOSEST.

YEAH.

POOL HOUSE FIRST, IF WE CAN TALK, I MEAN, FIRST THE EMAIL, THEY THINK IT'S A STUDIO BECAUSE OF THE NAME OF THE ARCHITECT.

CORRECT.

BUT IT'S NOT A STUDIO, IT'S A POOL HOUSE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S GONNA BE MUSIC AND PARTIES AND, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER FOR A STUDIO.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT.

RIGHT.

UM, SO ANYWAY, I'M NOT OKAY.

SORRY, JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

YEAH, I I AGREE.

IT, IT IS A SMALL DUCTLESS, MINI SPLIT MITSUBISHI.

IT'S VERY QUIET.

THE, THERE WILL BE A PUMP FOR THE POOL EQUIPMENT THAT DOES MAKE PUMP SOUNDS.

UM, WE, WE LOOKED, IF WE SCOOTED IT OVER A FEW FEET, IT, UH, MY OPINION IS IT REALLY WOULD NOT IMPACT THE DECIBELS AT THE PROPERTY LINE AT ALL.

SO WHAT WE PUT TOGETHER AND SENT TO ALLISON EARLIER TODAY WAS A QUICK RESPONSE JUST TO SAY, WELL, WE'RE, WE THINK WE'RE DOING IT PER CODE AND WE'RE DOING IT THE WAY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IT, BUT TO TAKE THAT NEIGHBOR'S THOUGHTS INTO CONSIDERATION, WE DO PROPOSE, UH, SMALL MECHANICAL COURTYARD, THE ADDITION OF SOME SOLID FENCING THAT WOULD MATCH ARCHITECTURALLY SOME OF THE COING DETAILS.

SO YOU SEE THAT HERE, HOW THAT WOULD LOOK AND IT WOULD CONTAIN, UM, I THINK BE BETTER CONTAIN THE SOUND THAN SCOOTING IT OVER OR MOVING THE BUILDING COMPLETELY.

UM, WELL THAT WAS KIND OF Y'ALL TO DO THAT, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO DO THAT.

YEAH.

AND JUST SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE, I HAVE A POOL AND I HAVE A PUMP IN THE BACKYARD AND IT'S IN MY YARD AND I CAN'T HEAR IT.

SO.

YEAH.

YEAH.

SO WE WANT IT TO NOT, I MEAN, NOT, I APPRECIATE THE CONCERN, BUT DON'T NEIGHBORS COMMENTS.

BUT IT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

CORRECT.

THE POOL EQUIPMENT, THE POOL EQUIPMENT, AND THE HV CS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SOUTH WALL BUILDING WOULD BE WHERE, WHERE IT WOULD BE LOCATED HERE IN THIS FLOOR PLAN.

AND, AND ELEVATION.

JUST AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO THAT NEIGHBOR'S COMMENT.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE ACCOMMODATION.

UM, ANY, THERE'S NO, OBVIOUSLY NO ONE HERE TO SPEAK FOR IT.

UM, WELL, WE DID HAVE CORRESPONDENCE IN FAVOR OF IT.

TRUE.

YES.

WE DID HAVE A CORRESPONDENCE TO THE NEIGHBOR.

IT WASN'T ONLY, SORRY.

YEAH, WE DID ALSO RECEIVE ANOTHER, UM, EMAIL THAT WAS FORWARDED TO THE BOARD, UH, I THINK FROM ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS THE STREET, UM, FROM A NEIGHBOR WHO WAS IN FAVOR OF THIS ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.

GOTTA TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD.

SURE.

YEAH.

ANY, UH, ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR FLEMING? I, I DO.

WHO'S FIRST? GO AHEAD.

YOU GO AHEAD.

I CAN GO FIRST.

I ALWAYS, I'M TOO LOUD.

GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU, .

UM, I WAS JUST LOOKING AT WHAT, WHAT IS IN A CATERING KITCHEN AND THEN A WASHER AND DRYER NEED? YEAH.

YOU KNOW, THE FOUR OTHER ACCESSORY STRUCTURES THAT I'VE DESIGNED HERE IN BRENTWOOD OVER THE YEARS, NONE OF THEM EVER ANTICIPATED LAUNDRY.

SO I HAD NEVER ASKED FOR LAUNDRY AND I DIDN'T KNOW, AND ALLISON DIDN'T CATCH IT EITHER, AND I, I APOLOGIZE.

WE WOULD'VE, AND IT'S A CONVENIENCE ONLY THEIR ACTUAL LAUNDRY ROOM IS JUST UP THE STAIRS NEXT TO THE POOL.

IT'S JUST FOR TOWELS.

[00:40:01]

THAT'S NOT REALLY CONCERNING.

A CATERING KITCHEN IS WHAT WE CALL A KITCHEN WHERE NO ACTUAL COOKING ACTUALLY OCCURS.

CATERERS PREPARE FOOD OFFSITE AND BRING IT IN.

AND THE CATERING KITCHEN IS THERE TO SERVE THE FOOD IN THE CLEANUP.

WE CALL IT A CATERING KITCHEN, BUT THEY'RE PROBABLY NEVER GONNA HAVE IT ACTUALLY A CATERED EVENT.

IT COULD BE UNLESS JUDGE BEANS, CATERERS, BARBECUE.

I MEAN, IT, IT'S REALLY, SO IT'S, IT'S A DISHWASHER, A SINK, AND A FRIDGE.

SO IT'S CALLED A CATERING KITCHEN IN OUR DESIGN WORLD.

BUT IT'S NOT REALLY A, IT'S NOT SET UP TO CATER FOR SOMEONE ELSE IF THAT'S, IT'S LIKE A FANCY BUTLER'S PANTRY IS WHAT A CATER, WHAT WE THINK OF AS A CATERING KITCHEN.

WE COULD HAVE CALLED IT KITCHENETTE AND IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE DRAWN THE, THE QUESTION .

WHAT, UM, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THE LAUNDRY ROOM THEN? WHAT IS THAT SPACE GONNA BECOME? UM, WELL WE PROBABLY REARRANGE, THEY DO WANT A FULL BATH, AND THAT'S REALLY FOR PEOPLE TO SHOWER OFF AND CHANGE.

IT'S THERE.

UM, BUT WE MAY CHANGE, WE MAY OPEN UP AND JUST HAVE MORE SPACE.

I THINK WE WANT SOME STORAGE FOR CUSHIONS AND STUFF AND ALLEGEDLY, BUT GAIL DOESN'T KNOW THIS, BUT IT PROBABLY WILL CONTAIN A NUMBER OF HUNTING TROPHIES.

THE MOUNTED HEADS ARE GONNA FINALLY GO OUT OF HER HOME AND INTO THIS GUY.

UM, SO WE'LL PROBABLY CHANGE THE FLOOR PLAN IN RESPONSE TO YEAH, I DID, I, I APOLOGIZE FOR SHOWING LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER TODAY.

IT'S, IF YOU'LL COME TO THE MICROPHONE AND, AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

I WOULD, UH, THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN.

MY NAME'S DAVID BRANCH AND IT'S OUR RESIDENCE.

THE REASON THAT WE ASK FOR THE LAUNDRY ROOM IS I HAVE FIVE GRANDCHILDREN AND WE, UM, TAKE LOADS OF TOWELS FROM CONDOS IN FLORIDA BACK AND FORTH TO BE WASHED.

WE, WE UNDERSTAND THE LOGISTICS OF WASHING THINGS.

SO I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT EASIER.

INSTEAD OF TAKING A BASKET OF NINE DIRTY, UH, BEACH TOWELS, UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS TO A LAUNDRY ROOM, WASH THEM AND BRING THEM BACK AND TAKE 'EM BACK.

THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE ASK FOR IT.

AS FAR AS THE KITCHEN'S CONCERNED, I'VE GOT FOUR GRANDSONS WHO EAT QUITE A BIT AND THERE'LL BE LOTS OF CHICKEN NUGGETS AND ALL SORTS OF PIZZAS AND THAT SORT OF THING.

AND THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE INTENT.

WE'RE, WE'RE NOT HAVING, WE'RE NOT, UH, CATERING OR ANY OF ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.

WELL, JUST SO YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THE ZONING ORDER STATES SHOULDN'T BE DESIGNED FOR LIVING AS A LIVING QUARTER.

SO WE KIND OF, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE EVER HAD A, WE DON'T HAVE ANY DIRECTIVE FROM THE CITY COMMISSION AS TO WHAT THE DEFINITION OF THAT IS.

AND SO WE, IF IF THERE'S KIND OF FOUR ELEMENTS THAT ARE ALTOGETHER IN A BUILDING LAUNDRY, A FULL BATHROOM, KIND OF A LIVING AREA AND A FULL KITCHEN YEAH.

THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF LIVING A FULL KITCHEN.

WE JUST SURE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE LAUNDRY FROM A CONVENIENCE PERSPECTIVE OF TAKING LOADS OF TOWELS UP, UP FLIGHTS OF STAIRS AND DOWN THE HALL AND INTO A WASHROOM AND BACK.

IT'S JUST, UH, MAKE LIFE A WHOLE LOT EASIER ON US IF WE COULD HAVE A WASHROOM AND DRYER.

THE THING IS, MR. BRANCH, I AGREE WITH THAT WOULD WORK.

THAT ABSOLUTELY WOULD PROBABLY BE MINE TOO IF I WERE YOU.

UM, AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY YOUR INTENT.

IT'S RESALE AFTER THIS.

I UNDERSTAND ALL THOSE THINGS.

I CAN'T, I'M JUST GONNA SAY I'M NOT, I CAN'T APPROVE THIS THE WAY IT'S DRAWN RIGHT NOW.

THERE ARE WAYS TO DO STIPULATIONS IF YOU WANT.

I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

NOTHING AGAINST YOU GUYS.

I'VE JUST ALWAYS, IF I SAID IF I SAW LAUNDRY IN THE POOL HOUSE, I CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE OF KIND OF WHAT HE SAID.

SO, UM, IT'S NOT YOU.

NO.

WE UNDERSTAND.

WE'RE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN'T.

I JUST EXPLAIN.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T GET APPROVED TODAY, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO REDRAW AND RESUBMIT AND ALL THAT.

I, SO I JUST, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THERE'S WAYS TO DO IT IF Y'ALL WANNA TRY, I KNOW WHERE I'M AT.

BUT DO YOU WANNA MAKE A CONDITION? WOULD, WOULD YOU APPROVE WITH A CONDITION THAT NO, I WANT NEW DRAW.

I WANNA SEE IT NEW DRAW, NEW DRAWING.

NOT ON FAIR.

NOT NOT ON THE PERMIT SIDE.

FAIR PLUMBING.

UM, BEFORE THEY START TO MAKE ANY TYPE OF MOTION, WE, YOU MAY WANT REQUEST A DEFERRAL TO THE NEXT MEETING.

YOU WOULD, YOU WANT A DEFERRAL.

YOU DO NOT WANT A DENIAL BY THIS BOARD, BECAUSE THEN YOU'D HAVE TO COME BACK WITH SOMETHING DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT.

SO IF YOU'RE, IF YOU GUYS ARE COMFORTABLE, THANK, THANK YOU.

AND I UNDERSTAND A DEFERRAL.

I, AGAIN, I'M JUST ONE.

RIGHT.

YOU MIGHT GET A FEELING FOR OTHERS, BUT YEAH, I MEAN, I WOULD ACCEPT A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL SAYING NO LAUNDRY, PERIOD.

AND WE COULD COME BACK AT, I, I, I, IF I HAD HEARD THAT EARLY THIS MORNING, I CALL PROBABLY COULD HAVE MADE AN AMENDMENT AND JUST WHITED OUT THE, THE LAUNDRY FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING.

BUT ALLISON DIDN'T CALL ME UNTIL ALMOST FOUR O'CLOCK OR THREE 30.

YEAH.

[00:45:01]

BUT I WOULD ACCEPT IT AS A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL THAT WE JUST DON'T DO LAUNDRY.

PERIOD.

THAT'S, THAT'S NOT A, I DON'T, I WOULDN'T WANT, BUT SHORT OF THAT, I GUESS I WOULD PREFER IF THAT'S NOT LEGALLY POSSIBLE OR THAT THE BOARD WOULD APPROVE.

AND, AND I'LL SAY I WOULD GO AHEAD.

GO AHEAD.

I'M SORRY.

I WOULD PREFER A DEFERRAL THAN A FLAT DENIAL.

YEAH.

AND THE BOARD HAS, YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A CONDITION OF APPROVAL WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE LAUNDRY ROOM AND, AND I'VE TODD'S UH, I'VE NEVER KNOWN.

I'VE JUST DONE IT WHERE CONDITIONER APPROVAL THAT THERE BE NO ROUGH-IN FOR PLUMBING FOR A LAUNDRY ROOM.

TRUE.

YEAH.

BUT IS THAT GETTING CAUGHT DURING INSPECTIONS OR, YOU KNOW, IF, IF PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR MINDS YEAH, THEY DO.

UM, DO THEY KNOW THAT THERE'S A CONDITION THAT NO, BECAUSE THE PERMIT WAS GRANTED AND THEY, AND THEN THEY'RE JUST GONNA GO, IT JUST DEPENDS.

WELL, THE PERMIT DRAWINGS DON'T SHOW IT.

YEAH.

THE PERMIT DOESN'T SHOW IT.

AND THEY'RE DOING THEIR INSPECTIONS FOR PLUMBING AND MECHANIC.

THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER SIDE THING.

I UNDERSTAND.

YEAH.

ALRIGHT, WELL HERE'S WHAT I'M GONNA SAY.

I DO LIVE NEXT DOOR.

SO HERE'S WHAT I'M GONNA SAY.

MY COMMUTE TO THE JOB SITE, WE'LL BE PRETTY SHORT HERE.

HERE'S WHAT I'M GONNA SAY.

I THINK WE'RE HERE TO SERVE THE CITY AND, UM, BASED ON Y'ALL AND, AND JUST, I THINK IT'S REASONABLE, I AM WILLING TO DO A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL.

I THINK Y'ALL WILL FOLLOW THROUGH.

THAT'S MY FEELING.

SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE WANTS TO ADD ANYTHING, BUT I WILL, I WILL DO A CON I WILL APPROVE A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL AS LONG AS IS, THERE'S NO LAUNDRY IN THIS, IN THE REVISED DRAWING.

THAT'S WHERE I STAND.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO SHARE THEMSELVES BEFORE WE, AND THEN WOULD ALLISON SEE THE REVISED DRAWING BEFORE IT? YES.

I, I'M ONE OF THE PERMIT REVIEWERS.

SO ON ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, IT'S OUR BUILDING CODES AND PLANNING.
