Continued from page 1 of trustees, to rebuild the Pentecostal Church next door to the Aileen Factory near Flint Hill which burned last April. Mr. McCarthy confirmed that no portion of the one acre lot lies in flood plain, although he noted that the lower portion of the property is subject to water back-up, due to run-off from the Aileen plant’s parking lot.

In the absence of the applicants, the BZA tabled a variance request from Kinsey and Deborah Wharton until next month’s meeting. The board also scheduled a site visit, prompted by a letter from a neighboring landowner opposing the Whartons’ request.

The Whartons are seeking approval to build a carport attached to their residence which is situated on a lot slightly under two acres.

Mr. Monahan noted that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the variance on the grounds that the shape of the Whartons’ lot constituted a hardship. “We’ve used a pretty strict definition of hardship in past cases,” he said. “I feel like we’ll have to talk to these people.”

“In order for us to give them a full and fair hearing, they need to be present,” agreed chairman Lee Bird, tabling the application until August 27 and setting a site visit for 8:30 prior to the BZA’s 10 a.m. meeting on that date.
