SO FOR OUR OUR PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL, WE PUT BOTH PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO ON THIS. THE CURRENT PHASE THAT WE'RE BUILDING IS 33,000FT■!S. YOU'LL SEE ON THAT IMAGE THAT THE ONE IN FRONT IS THE FUTURE ADDITION. BOTH OF THEM ARE THE SAME HEIGHT BECAUSE BOTH WILL HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF FACILITIES INSIDE THE FRONT SECTION. THIS SECTION THAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW, THAT IS THAT HEIGHT, BECAUSE WE HAVE BLEACHERS INSIDE AND WE'VE ALREADY MADE STRUCTURAL CHANGES AND PAID EXTRA FOR THAT TO BE LESS HEIGHT SO THAT WE CAN GET MORE SEATS IN THERE THAT THEY NEED, AS WELL AS TO HAVE THE HEIGHT FOR VOLLEYBALL. VOLLEYBALL REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 23FT, AND WE DON'T GET IT FOR THE WHOLE BUILDING, BUT WE DO GET IT FOR PART OF IT, AT LEAST THE MAIN COURT. AND SO THAT'S OUR REASON FOR WANTING THE HEIGHT THAT WE HAVE THERE.
WE THINK WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE THAT VISIBLE FROM EITHER THE FREEWAY OR HOOVER ROAD AS WELL.
OKAY. DO EITHER THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE A QUESTION? I MAY HAVE MISSED IT, BUT MORE FOR

IT'S ONLY 11FT, SIX INCHES, ONE FEET, ONE FOOT, SIX 1FT OR 1FT. I'M SORRY.
YOU'RE CORRECT. THIS IS FOR THE 3300 ZERO SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THAT IS GOING TO INCREASE ONE FOOT, SIX INCHES. OKAY, SO THAT'S FINE. I'M NOT SURE THE OTHER BUILDING IS LOWER THAN THAT. SO I THINK WE MIGHT BE BELOW IT. RIGHT. IF YOU'RE 35 OR LESS YOU WOULD NOT NEED A VARIANCE. PERFECT. OH, I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU YOU SAID THEY WERE THE SAME SIZE. I THOUGHT THEY WERE. BUT I'M LOOKING AT MY DRAWING NOW AND REALIZING I SPOKE. YEAH, I DO HAVE A QUESTION THAT'S ON HOOVER ROAD AND IT'S ON THE EAST SIDE. AND YOU WILL NOT BE BLOCKING THE VIEW OF ANY BUILDINGS ON THE EAST SIDE. THERE ARE SOME RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ON THE WEST SIDE ACROSS FROM THE CHURCH. IT'S BACK BEHIND THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
IF YOU KNOW WHERE THAT IS, IT'S BEHIND THE CHURCH. CORRECT. OKAY. SO IT ACTUALLY THEN WILL NOT BE INTERFERING AT ALL WITH ANY RESIDENTIAL VIEW OR ANYTHING. NO. AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED IN THE QUESTIONS IN THE PAST, BUT DID WE RECEIVE ANY INQUIRY WHEN WE SENT OUT INQUIRING IF THERE WAS ANYONE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS? DID WE RECEIVE ANY FEEDBACK? WE DID NOT. NOT ON THIS CASE AND NOT ON ANY OF THE PRIOR CASES THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED SO FAR. WE DO HAVE SOME COMING UP, THOUGH. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY.

CAN WE HAVE A ROLL CALL, PLEASE, MR. BRANDT? YES. MR. ANDREWS. YES. MR. HAHN. YES. OKAY. CAN I ASK ONE QUESTION? SURE. I KNOW WE HAVE TO WAIT 21 DAYS TO START CONSTRUCTION, BUT I STILL NEED TO SUBMIT FOR BUILDING PERMIT, WHICH WE ARE WAITING FOR. THIS. IS THAT SOMETHING I CAN SUBMIT FOR AT THIS TIME? YES. YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A BUILDING PERMIT APPROVED THAT COULD BE ISSUED AFTER THAT 21 DAYS. SO WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, JUST GO AHEAD AND SUBMIT NOW, ANYTIME YOU WANT. OKAY, GREAT.
THANK YOU. YES. JUST FOR THE CLARITY OF THE RECORD, AND I IMAGINE MR. HAHN MIGHT BE THINKING THE SAME THING. THE VARIANCE AND THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS ARE SEPARATE.

SIR, MY NAME IS MIKE ESTELL WITH. I'M THE OWNER OF ALL CHOICE HOME IMPROVEMENTS. I'M REPRESENTING MELISSA SIMMONS, AS YOU'VE ALREADY MENTIONED. SO MY CLIENT HAD HIRED US TO REMOVE THAT EXISTING COVERED STRUCTURE IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. IT'S A THREE SEASONS ROOM AND IT HAS A CONCRETE BLOCK FOUNDATION THREE FEET DEEP. AND SO WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING ROOM ADDITIONS, MAKING IT A FOUR SEASONS ROOM WITH CLIMATE CONTROL. AND THERE'S AN[00:35:01]
EXISTING DECK THERE. AND AS WE WENT TO SUBMIT FOR A BUILDING PERMIT, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE ARE BEYOND THE ZONING SETBACK. BUT THESE I THINK OUR BIGGEST ARGUMENT IS THESE THESE STRUCTURES ALREADY EXIST, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO MODIFY THEM TO BE BETTER THAN THEY ARE. SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BIGGER ROOM AND SMALLER DECK. YES, A LITTLE BIT BIGGER ROOM, A LITTLE BIT SMALLER DECK GOING BACK. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT WIDER AS WELL.RIGHT. BUT ALMOST THE SAME. CORRECT. SO I TAKE IT FROM YOUR COMMENT THEN THAT THE ACTUAL SQUARE FOOTAGE HAS REALLY NOT BEEN MODIFIED. IT'S BEING MODIFIED FOR THE TYPE OF STRUCTURE, BUT IT'S NOT BEING MODIFIED OVERALL. NO, THE THE COVERED PORCH WILL GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BACK AND A LITTLE BIT WIDER. NOT MUCH. WE'RE TALKING A FOOT TWO FEET WIDER AND MAYBE TWO FEET FURTHER BACK, AND THEN THE DECK WILL BE SHRUNK THE TWO FEET SO THAT WE WON'T. OKAY, SO IT'S REALLY A MINOR CHANGE THAT YOU'RE MAKING IN THAT SENSE IN THE AREA IN THE SETBACK. THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. CJ DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. OKAY.
TONY DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THIS WAS GOING TO ASK LAURA IF WE HAD ANY INFORMATION FROM ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS. WE DID. SO WE HEARD FROM THE NEIGHBOR WHO WAS ADJACENT THAT IS CLOSEST TO THIS IMPROVEMENT. SHE'S AT 2458. YOU CAN SEE IT UP THERE ON THE SCREEN. IT'S MRS. SOLIS, AND SHE SAID THAT SHE'S HAPPY ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENT AND THINKS IT'LL BE A GREAT ADDITION AND THAT SHE HAS WONDERFUL NEIGHBORS. AND SO SHE HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. OKAY.
OKAY. IF THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, I'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO GRANT THE APPEAL OF MICHAEL STEELE ALL CHOICE HOME IMPROVEMENTS REPRESENTING MELISSA SIMMONS OF 2468 CLOVER BLOSSOM COURT, PARCEL NUMBER 040 HYPHEN 005425.
