Mr. Lawrence was recognized to discuss these items. He said that Choice Homes was requesting variances from the setback provisions of the City of Anna zoning ordinance. Six of the seven requests are variance requests from the rear yard requirement. One request is for a variance from a side yard requirement. A copy of the plat had been provided to the Board. The lots are cul-de-sac and corner lots on which the builder is constructing larger homes that will not fit on the existing lot configurations. Mr. Lawrence noted that a representative of Choice Homes was present to answer questions. After brief discussion in which members noted that they wanted to encourage the construction of larger homes in the subdivision and that these lots appeared to be special cases and constituted a small percentage of the total number of lots in the subdivision, Mr. Curiel moved that the variances be approved. Mr. Crim seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0. 11. Other issues There were no other issues brought forward by those present. 12. Adjourn There being no further business, Mr. Crim moved that the meeting be adjourned.

Request by Mr. Fernando Aragon for variance from provisions of City of Anna Zoning Ordinance, Section 22 (Schedule of District Regulations), for property located at 1506 Wildwood Trail Mr. Fernando Aragon has submitted a proposal for a masonry garage at the referenced property. Because the proposed building is closer to the property line than allowed in this zoning district, a variance regarding front yard setbacks is required. Because the proposed garage is set back from the front property line by 32 feet and because there are at least four other garages and/or other structures in the Wildwood Addition that are approximately this same distance from the front property line or even closer, I recommend that the variance be granted under the following conditions: 1. The garage have a masonry exterior of the same brick type and color as the residential structure on the same lot. 2. The garage construction be completed within sixty (60) days of granting the variance.
