ART AND LAURIE VINSON DEVELOPMENT
APPLICATION – Art
and Laurie Vinson submitted a development permit application to extend the
front porch and the side deck of their home at 903 Asbury Street. Mr. Schwartz reported that the Vinson’s had
earlier submitted a development permit application for other work being done at
the house. This included electrical and
plumbing work on the interior and the addition of a bedroom on the second
floor. It did not include any change to
the footprint of the building so Mr. Schwartz approved the development permit
as zoning administrator. The permit
request tonight will change the footprint of the building by extending the
front porch and the side deck.
The
discussion covered additional electrical work along with the trees and the
driveway.
Upon motion of Mr. Wearing, seconded
by Mr. Robinson the request was approved as submitted. The vote was 5-0.
OXFORD COLLEGE REZONING REQUEST – Oxford College submitted a request
for the initial discussion of the possibility of rezoning the lot at 805

several implications of this proposed change.
No action was requested or taken.
