Approved 1.11.23 <br /> 1 that need to be reworked and or abandoned. You can see the foot print of the existing house. We can go to what is <br /> 2 there today, it is slightly in a different configuration. As you can see here, there is no wiggle room left. Once you add all <br /> 3 the easements and all the other variables at play. This is the encroachment agreement. Ms. Stokes may want to talk <br /> 4 about this. It sounds like to me that part of the case was that I don't know if her family members were fully cogitative of <br /> 5 what that implied in terms of giving a power easement and the purpose of the addition on the property and it would run <br /> 6 through your grandmother's house. This is the sign that was posted on the property. This is the house that is in ill <br /> 7 repair. Picture of the side yard and between the dwelling and the adjacent property. This is the power line, you can see <br /> 8 it is literally running on top of the existing house and accessory structure. This is the side yard and where the septic <br /> 9 system is that needs to be reworked. This is the transmission line and as you can see this is a large line. So we can <br /> 10 handle this any way you would like. If you have any questions. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Patrick Mallett and Beverly Stokes are sworn in. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Leon Meyers: Does anyone have questions for Patrick? <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Nathan Robinson: asked about the yellow box and is there a reason why it can't be pushed more towards Gaines <br /> 17 Chapel Road. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Patrick Mallett: Part of it is they are going to try to utilize the sidewalk and the portion of the porch on the front of the <br /> 20 house. Not necessarily the entire house would be demolished. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Leon Meyers: stated the red line is a 40 foot setback from the street so if you move closer to the street add another <br /> 23 variance. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Patrick Mallett: yes you can't move it but so far. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Nathan Robinson: so if you slide it to Gaines Chapel road it would give it 20 feet. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Patrick Mallett: No, not without a variance. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Beth Bronson: Where the house is? The proposed house? <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Patrick Mallett: The Stokes house is yellow, the existing house follows this footprint <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Beth Bronson: So it was already encroaching? <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Patrick Mallett: They want to put a new house and tear down the house that is already 11 feet away from the property <br /> 38 line and put a comparable house in the same relative configuration. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Beth Bronson: I just want to clarify, if the parcel is already granted an easement because the house was encroached <br /> 41 when the line was placed, why would that easement not carry through to any new construction? <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Patrick Mallett: This house is so old that it predates the ordinance <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Beverly Stokes: The house is 100 years old. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Beth Bronson: So I would say the lines were placed afterwards <br /> 3 <br />
