Husband bought a buiding for his business, enough sq/ft to make a home inside part of it. We are seeking City approval to just do that. It's a "dual zone" neighborhood, both residential and commercial, (mostly residential). His building is one of the commercial properties grandfathered in after zoning changed way back when. He hired a lady that works with all the engineers to help, and she obtained a "recommendation of approval" by one Commissioner before the meeting. Seems approval is 4 step process. Yesterday afternoon WWW's proposal went before the Building Commission. Unanimouse Approval! We have that now for the City Council. Steps 2-4 are 3 more City Council meetings, they are who makes the final decision. They meet the second Tuesday of each month, I hope we get on the Sept. meeting Agenda.
It passed!! "Motion Carries"!! What I didn't know yesterday was they are not the final decision maker.....
LOL, I truely hope I get that honor! And we pay for water, $1.25 per load For real though, I'll gladly pay a water bill to save WWW hauling water ~3 times a week, 45 minutes per trip for 11 years, in all kinds of icy freezing weather.
What a let down Stinny , I'm pretty bummed out. I didn't know. He talks about his pre-meeting, but I thought that was for the final decision. It wasn't, all this time he was saying the Building Commission is "pre-meeting" for City Council.
We don't know for sure but all ducks are in their rows so far. There are some "interesting" people on the city council. (I'm used to the County Commissioner out here). Another man was turned down by City Council for something similar a year ago, ours is different in a few aspects like no exterior changes or additions to the building, but the proposal they came up with for us is amending code for zones like ours. Anyway the Building Commissioners seemed excited for the other guy too, that he could work within the amended building code. Also, moving along the Citie's long term vision for our neighborhood to eventually be all residential.
I hope you get approval! City Councils can attract people with odd points of view. Never know how they will go. You did everything right with the County approvals. I envy the morning commute when you finally move in. Hit the coffee pot and hang a left LOL
