Planningand Zoning Commission Minutes June 14, 2022 Mr. Corley said either way. The Chair said we can try it. The Chair saidItem 1 isforthe relief from the 200-footsetback requirementofSection 7.3.59. Mr. Corley thinks the evidence does show that that 200-foot setback would cover nearlythe entire property,and pretty much prohibit any reasonable use. The Chair with that said,the variance if approved,would stick with the swim club. He thinks that protects the property around it and itwouldbe limitedtothe swim club.He does not think there would be any issue. He said they cannot use the property for anything else, other than what is there. The Chair asked if everyone concurred, the consensus of the Board concurred. The Chair said the hardshipsresult from conditions that are peculiar to the property, such as size, location,or topography. Mr. Corleythinks the evidence does showthatthere has beena lot ofcontributingfactors,with changing in zoning, changing in ordinances,specifically across county line changes in zoning, which the applicant really had no control over,thathave contributed to the requirementsof that 200-footsetback. The Chair asked if anyone had anything else. There being none he asked if all were in agreeance. They all were in agreeance. The Chair said the hardship resultingfrom actions taken by the applicantor the property owner. He said the applicant alludedto this in his presentation,and Legal gave him a headnod that purchasingproperty with knowledge that circumstances existthat may justifygrantinga variance shallnot be regardedas self-created. He thinks that one is pretty cut and dry. The Chair said the variance is consistent with the spirt, purpose,and intent of the ordinance, such that public safety is secured,and substantial justice is achieved. Mr. Corley said the applicant has stated thatthey arestill going to meet the actual landscape plantingrequirements. They are working around an existing building that is not exactly square to the site,he thinkshad presented some challenges. He thinks they have made a general bona fide effort to comply with the ordinance,with a few exceptions. The Chair said noted that theapplicant noted that all the accessory structures had been moved outside the bufferin attempt to try to pull everything tighter to the center. 23
