3. Request No. 08 -12 - Single Family Residence - Lot A.02, Oak Lane -
Bernie Lennon, Applicant.
Bernie Lennon, Applicant, advised that he wanted to build a single family
residence on a lot he owned on Oak Lane. On October 10th the Board of
Adjustment granted his property a special exception for residential use in the C -1
zoning district.
Discussion was held regarding Oak Lane being a substandard road. Barry
Brown, Planning & Zoning Director, advised that the City had no plans to bring
the road up to City standards. He explained that when Don Haynes, developed
the multi - family property on the west end of Oak Lane that may be the time to
bring the road up to City standard.
Mr. Brown advised that the surrounding properties were residential; and Mr.
Lennon's property was just shy of 1 acre. The Board members held discussion
regarding the homes on Oak Lane being old and unique. Mr. Lennon testified
that he did not have immediate plans to sell or develop the entire property,
however in the future he may subdivide the lot. He planned to live in the house.
He noted that the house would be built on the east end of the property.
Mr. Lennon advised that the vegetation was heavily dense and planned to leave
as much as possible in its natural state. He would also leave heavy vegetation in
front of the residence.
The Board members reviewed color samples of shingles. Walter Bowman
advised that the color of the roof shingles were not compatible with the building
color. Chairperson Wasserman explained to the applicant that the Board strives
for harmony in appearance. Mr. Lennon replied that he wanted the roof to be
light in color to reflect heat for energy savings. Discussion followed.
The Board members reviewed the architectural plans. Discussion was held
regarding the uniqueness of the architecture having an open breezeway, called a
dog trot style, in the middle of the home.
Motion by Walter Bowman, seconded by Kelley Jensen, to approve request 08-
12, with the condition that the roof shingles be the color Sand Drift or similar to
that color. Vote on the motion carried unanimously.
