UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 

Case No. 1887

     Action Requested:

        Diane Fernandez stated this is a request for consideration of interpretation of the Board Action taken on July 17, 2001.  The Board approved a variance of Section 208 limiting one single-family dwelling on a lot of record to permit two dwelling units on a tract of 2.29 acres in an AG district; and a variance to lot and land area requirements in an AG district, subject to a building permit and meeting all zoning requirements.  As the agenda packet indicated, the staff had discussions with Ms. Sanders about splitting the property, because the applicant was requesting a lot-split.  There was a question regarding the tract being under one ownership.  Mrs. Fernandez added that Dick Blakely, District Attorney was present for legal counsel.

 

        Mr. Alberty stated that this is not a hearing for the case.   He added that the Board was limited to discussion of the previous Board Action.

 

     Presentation:

        Brenda Sanders, 3893 E. 86th St. N., Sperry, Oklahoma, stated she did not ask for this hearing.  She felt that she understood the Board action at the July, 2001 hearing. 

 

     Comments and Questions:

        Mr. Alberty reminded Ms. Sanders that he questioned her specifically in the July hearing about any plans to divide the property and she responded that they would keep the ownership in their name.  Ms. Sanders responded that she believed her response was that they did not know what they were going to do with the property at the time.  Mr. Alberty informed her that she would have needed other variances to get a lot-split.  Mr. Alberty read the Board action from the July, 2001 hearing and Ms. Sanders agreed that was the action.  He stated they did not approve a lot-split and she responded that she understood that.  Ms. Sanders explained that she could not close on her construction loan unless there is a lot-split.  Mr. Hutson stated the previous Board action is clear and Ms. Sanders agrees with the Board on the approval of two variances.  Mr. Hutson explained that when someone wants relief for a lot-split, it is specifically presented in that way.  Mr. Hutson pointed out that Ms. Sanders did not do that but asked for two dwellings on one lot.  Mr. Hutson added that the Board was willing to approve her request, as long as the lot maintained single ownership.  Ms. Sanders replied that it does maintain a single ownership.  Mr. Hutson explained she would have to sell both houses at one time, with a lot-split she could sell each individual property separately, but as it is she cannot.  Mr. Alberty informed the applicant that she would need to go to INCOG and tell them exactly what she wants to do and file a new application to the Board of Adjustment.  

       

     Board Action:

        No motion was required.

        Mrs. Fernandez pointed out that the staff comments note the Zoning Code for Tulsa County has been amended to allow a case to be considered on a case by case basis rather than just a thirty-day time period, effect immediately.  This same request was heard and a variance granted for this use for thirty days last year.

     Comments and Questions:

        Mr. Alberty asked if they were asking for approval for the next five years, and no sales during Christmas/New Years period.  Mr. Basse agreed.  Mr. Alberty asked if the stands would only be set up and taken down a little before and after the month of sales, and not left all year round.  Mr. Basse replied that was correct.
