5. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A) Application #CA-15-04 – Tegan & Jillian Johnson, owner of the property located at
695 South Oak Avenue, request approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness to demolish
an existing accessory structure and construct a new one in its place in a designated
historic district pursuant to Section 2.02.01 of the ULDC.
Planning Director Wiegers stated this request is to demolish two accessory structures and
construct a new one. He continued through his staff report, which is attached to these
minutes as Exhibit “A”. He stated the first accessory structure is located on the north
property line and the second accessory structure is located on the backside of the house
along Pearl Street. He briefly described the condition of these accessory structures and
that there may be a bat issue. He stated this application has been publicly noticed and
he has not received any responses from any interested party
Mrs. Jillian Palmer Johnson, 695 South Oak Avenue, approached the podium. She stated
the home has been renovated in the last ten years but the previous owners left the
accessory structures. She stated the one they are concerned about is the carport at the
end of the driveway. She stated they have already paid out approximately $7,000.00 in
the last month for bat removal. She stated they have been told that the structure, due to
the age and deterioration, cannot be salvaged or sealed up well and most likely the bats
would return. She stated the other shed on the property has the same color of roof and
exterior paint as the house and may also have to be torn down because of termite
damage. She stated they have always wanted an older home and when replacing the
carport it will blend in with the home along with placing a new driveway. She mentioned

that in the next few months they intend to put in the new driveway and move it over a
couple of feet since as it is now about two (2) to three (3) feet from the property line and
eight (8) feet from the house. She stated they intend to place a white picket fence up
along the driveway as well to help block their lights from shining into the neighbors
windows when she returns home at night.
Chairperson Crisman opened the public hearing.

With no comments from the public
MOTION was made by Board Member Moss seconded by Board Member Miller to
approve the Application #CA-15-04 as presented.
AYE: Crisman, Laplanche, Moss, Miller
NAY: None
Motion carried.
B) Application # CA-15-05 – J. Peiter Versweyveld and Maria Gallo, owner of the
property located at 1080 South Oak Avenue, request approval of a Certificate of
Appropriateness to construct a new detached garage in a designate historic district
pursuant to Section 2.02.01 of the ULDC.
Planning Director Wiegers stated this is a request for a new accessory structure,
detached two story garage. The second story will be used as a loft so it doesn’t have the
full two story look. He stated the property is located at 1080 South Oak Avenue, which
would be on the northeast corner of Oak Avenue and Stuart Street. He stated public
notice was given and he received one phone from an adjacent neighbor who was just
curious and wanted a little more information. He continued with his staff report which is
attached to these minutes as Exhibit “B”. He stated that on the property there is a wall
that will be removed since it has no historic value to the property. He stated the wall was
there because it was previously part of an old telephone switching station that was
located on the property.
Mr. Peiter Versweyveld, 1080 South Oak Avenue, approached the podium. He stated he
picked the design of the garage because it flows with the design of the house. He stated
the home used to be owned by the Nyle Jordan family and Mr. Jordan used to run the
telephone switchboard. He also stated that Mrs. Jordan was the city florist which is why
there is a lot of vegetation on the property. He stated he is going to tear down the wall
and has asked for a variance to place the garage in that location.
Chairperson Crisman opened the public hearing.
Chairperson Crisman closed the public hearing.
