Board of Adjustment September 8, 1986 Page 6 feet from the principal structure on the adjcining lot. The variance request is to allow a 3.5 inch deviation from that at the rear of the adjoining structure and angling to a 9.5 inch variance at the front of the structure. Pearl Maddy summarized the staff report (see Variance File No. 34-86) and presented viewfoils of the property. Sharon Pope, the next -door neighbor at 10610 4th Dr. S.E., stated that when they purchased their property directly south of the applicant's they were concerned about their ability to move their trailer in and out of the backyard. They have had other discussions with the applicant in the past in which, she stated, that he said he would not be putting in a fence. They also at one time requested to buy an additional six inches from the applicant but he refused. She stated that had they known earlier that their neighbor would be building a six-foot fence they probably would not have bought the house. Therefore, she requested that the variance be denied, although she feels the applicant should be allowed to build a fence 10 feet from their house. In response to a question from Ross Hoagland, Mrs. Pope indicated that their driveway is right on the property line, and that in order to use the 10 feet allowed to her by ordinance (i.e. to get their trailer into the back) they would have to use part of their neighbor's property. In response to a question from the Board as to who had guaranteed that they would have 10 feet on the side, she stated that this was promised by the developer, Metco. Herbert Z. O'Bryant, the applicant, of 10604 4th Dr. S.E., stated that at one time lie had approached his neighbors the Popes and offered to share the cost of building a fence, an offer which they refused. Even after beginning the variance application process, he has had several conversations with the Popes seeking to work out a mutually agreeable solution since the varizne process is expensive and time-consuming, but to no avail. 1' Motion: Marie Sullivan moved to grant the variance as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Everett Miller. Ross Hoagland commented that this was an unfortunate situation which he would have preferred to see settled by negotiation. However, he feels that the applicant has as much right to build to the property line as does hie neighbor. A ;✓ Vote: Unanimous in favor of granting the variance.
