4. OBOA -07 -11 — Anstine - A request for a variance to reduce the required 5 feet side yard
setback in order to accommodate a detached accessory building on a property zoned RS -3
(Residential Single Family), located at 7603 North 122 East Avenue.
Ken Foster presented the item and Eric reviewed the staff report. The applicant
constructed a detached accessory building approximately 3 feet off the southern property
line of the property. After a site visit it was determined that the building had been
constructed 2 feet over the required 5' side yard setback. The applicant was asked to add
guttering to the building and the applicant did so. Notification letters were mailed to
property owners within 300 feet of the property and the request was advertised in the
Owasso Reporter. Staff does recommend approval of OBOA 07 -11. The applicant was
present to answer questions. Also present was the neighbor to the south, Mr. Lee Price.
Mr. Price stated that he was against the variance because he felt that the building was an
eye sore. He also had concerns that this outbuilding would cause a decline in his property
value. Mr. Ray Anstine explained that the building inspector had agreed that it was a
portable building and proceed with the construction. Brian Dempster, the building
inspector came by a few weeks later and told Mr. Anstine that his building was placed
illegally; it is too close to the property line. Brian asked him to add guttering on the
building by June 1, 2007, to minimize the storm water runoff. The guttering has been
completed.
After further discussion, Charles Brown moved to approve the variance request; David
Hall seconded the motion. A vote on the motion was recorded as follows:
