4. OBOA -12 -04 — Vivion Pools — Consideration and appropriate action related to a request
for approval of a variance to allow the encroachment of up to 4.4 feet of the required 10
foot side yard setback (Owasso Zoning Code, Section 240.2) to accommodate the
construction of a swimming pool. The property is located at 14127 East 88th Street
North, Owasso, Oklahoma.
Joe Ramey presented the item and Karl reviewed the staff report. Letters were mailed to
all property owners within three- hundred (300) feet of the subject property and the
request was advertised in the Owasso Reporter. Staff has not received any objections.
The applicant was present to answer any questions. Staff recommends denial of OBOA
12 -04. Mr. Jeff Vivion with Vivion Pools requested a brief presentation. He explained
that the house is built five (5) feet from property line and doesn't understand why the pool
has to be teri (10) feet from property line. The homeowners, Nathan and Kathleen Short,
were present and stated that the need for the pool is medical reasons. The Board
Members expressed concern with establishing a precedent if the variance request is
approved. Karl stated that the Owasso Planning Commission will discuss the possibility
of changing this section of the code at their next meeting.
Joe Ramey moved to approve the variance based upon staff researching other
community's codes regarding side yard setbacks. There was no seconded to this motion.
Jim Bausch moved to deny the variance, Sherry Jacobs seconded the motion. A vote on
