CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br /> PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION <br /> MARCH 12, 1998 <br /> Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning and Zoning <br /> Commission of the City of Centerville held their meeting and <br /> three public hearings on March 12, 1998 at City Hall, 1880 Main <br /> Street. <br /> PRESENT: Chair Kathy Welk <br /> Tina Vermeulen <br /> Al LaMotte <br /> Linda Broussard- Vickers <br /> John Buckbee <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> STAFF: Jim March <br /> Ry -Chel Gaustad <br /> CALL TO ORDER <br /> Chair Kathy Welk called the meeting to order at 7:12 p.m. <br /> PUBLIC HEARING (S) <br /> A VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Dr. Tom Schlavin (1862 Main Street) was in attendance to request <br /> a variance to remove the above - mentioned residence garage door <br /> and replace it with a wall, windows and entrance door to access <br /> his chiropractic, home based business offices. <br /> Chair Welk reminded the board, a recommendation suggesting <br /> approval of the stated variance may set precedence. Mr. Buckbee <br /> suggested, for consideration, the due process needed for a home <br /> owner to convert a garage into living /storage quarters. Mr. <br /> March indicated the ordinance does not restrict an existing home <br /> owner from converting a garage into another ;unction. Mr. Buckbee <br /> demonstrated the petitioner, as a home owner, can convert the <br /> garage into another function. However, the petitioner, as a home <br /> based business owner, cannot convert the garage into another <br /> function. Mr. Buckbee drew a conclusion, a home owner is <br /> permitted to turn a garage facility into another use without <br /> approaching the Commission for a variance, but a home based <br /> business owner needs a variance. <br /> 1 <br />
