Public Hearings
#22-001 Variance: Applicant Joe Bueker Jr. was present. No one was present to speak for or
against the application. Mr. Roebuck moved to approve the 18 foot front property line setback
and a 1 foot side property line setback variance request due to the privacy fence on the property
line where the carport will be placed and the slope not casing a water issue with the neighboring
property. Mr. Herd seconded the motion. The motion passed: 5 (aye) – 0 (nay).

#22-001 Appeal: POSTPONED TO THE MARCH 16, 2022 MEETING

#22-002 Appeal: Representative Michael Dortch was present for applicant. Kenneth Coleman
was present to speak against the application. Mr. Persinger moved to approve the appeal based
on the property values being a subjective factor making there no way to know if nightly rental
would lower the value or not. The operating characteristics would not injure the neighboring
properties with the home being on Ruby’s Rest Rd rather than Hampton Rd with it being a single
family home like the other structures in the area. As well as the representative managing the
home living on the same road the nightly rental will be on. Mr. Herd seconded the motion. The
motion passed: 3 (aye) and 2 (nay).

#22-003 Appeal: Representative Matthew Martin was present for the applicant. Andrew Grossi
was present to speak for the application. Cheryl Sinko, Tom Huff, Johnie Groves, Judy Ward,
Ken Lizotte, Susan Smith, Andrew Lindsey and Chuck Hinrichsen were present to speak against
the application. Mr. Roebuck moved to deny the appeal due to the Planning Commission making
no error in part of their decision. Mr. Caudill seconded the motion. The motion passed: 3 (aye) –
2 (nay).

#22-004 Appeal: Applicant David Crowdus was present. Tom Hubbard was present to speak
against. Mr. Roebuck moved to accept the appeal due to the criteria the Planning Commission
used for the denial did not match the criteria for a Conditional Use- Permit in Section 023.010
and was not credible for denial. Mr. Persinger seconded the motion. The motion passed: 5 (aye)
and 0 (nay).

Old and New Business
None.

Adjournment
Mr. Roebuck moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:41 p.m. Mr. Herd seconded the motion. The
