3 . First Case:
Hal Johnson gave a brief summary of the request
(side setback variance) before the Board.
RAYMOND KENNEDY , Trinity, North Carolina, is
requesting a Variance to allow an addition of a
garage to his residence approximately 7 feet from
his side property line in lieu of the required 10
feet. Property Location : Hwy 62, Trinity Town-
ship, Zoning Map
#6797 , Zoning
District RR.
Hal Johnson explained to the Board that this lot
was designed prior to any land use plans. Johnson
said the Planning Office has received calls in
support of this request.
Bill Dorsett asked Kennedy why he did not construct
his garage in back of this residence instead of to
the side. Kennedy said that since retirement he
and his wife wanted the convenience of not being
exposed to the weather when going to/from the car
to the house. Kennedy said that he realized to
locate in back of the residence would still be good
for the cars but would be of no benefit to him and •
his wife.
There was no one present in opposition to this
Variance .
Lynden Craven made the motion, seconded by Doyle
Stout, to approve Mr . Kennedy' s request for a side
setback Variance because the lot was in existence
prior to any land use regulations. The motion
passed unanimously.

carport to his residence approximately 7 feet from
his side property line in lieu of the required 10

Hal Johnson explained to the Board that this lot,
as in the case of the Kennedy Request, was
developed prior to any land use regulations.
Johnson added the Planning Office has not received
any calls of opposition to this request.
Wade Varner said this subdivision was developed in
1962 and he has owned the property for 15 years.
Varner said this was the only place he could attach
the garage to his residence because the septic tank
system is in back and on the other- side of this
house.
Bill Dorsett asked Varner if he had already begun
construction on this addition. Varner answered yes
but it was prior to his knowledge of the 10 feet
setback requirement .
There was no one present in opposition to this
request .
Doyle Stout made the motion, seconded by Aweilda
Little, to approve this request for a side setback
Variance because of the lot being in existence
prior to our land use regulations. The motion

Grove Township, Zoning Map

Craig Goins said that this property was owned by
his mother and it was her desire to deed 2.5 acres
to each of her four sons. Goins said he presently
lives within 50 feet of the new proposed By-Pass
220 (near Seagrove) and he wanted to be able to
move away from this area. Goins added that he
plans to locate a mobile home on the front tract
soon, but the remainder tracts would be vacant for
5 to 10 years.
Billy Ludnum, adjoining property owner , spoke in
opposition to 4 small mobile home lots being
allowed, in this area of nice site built homes.
Danny Brower, adjoining property owner , said that
this area would be affected by the proposed new
Highway 49 Loop and if he is trying to get away
from a highway this area would not be for him.
Bill Dorsett, Board member , stated that the Board

had not heard any real hardship, just a desire to
deed lots to four of the family members. For this
reason Dorsett made the motion, seconded by Phil
Brower , to deny this request. The motion passed
unanimously.
6. Fourth Case:
Hal Johnson gave a brief summary of the request

been in existence for approximately 10 years and he
and his son maintains the road. Luther said his
plans were to deed the land to his son and two
daughters . Luther added there are 4 property
owners on this road.
Hal Johnson told this Board that this is a unique
situation because this would not be a new road, the
private road has been in existence for several
years . Johnson added that because of development
that has occurred no new right-of-way could be
obtained to allow state maintenance of the road.
Johnson went on to say the road is being well
maintained.
There was no one present in opposition to this
request .
Bill Dorsett expressed his opinion that no real
hardship has been defined.
Lynden Craven stated that seeing no opposition to
the request, and the road is in place and has been
well maintained, and this is an immediate family
situation he did not see a problem with this
request. For these reasons Craven made the motion,
seconded by Jim Routh, to approve this lot size
Variance. The motion passed unanimously.
