Anthony Mansell stated he currently lives at 2672 Coblentz Drive, and will be moving to 7358 Clingan Road in approximately one month. He also stated that the proposed building will enhance the property and keep his belongings under cover and make the property look nice.
Bob Durick asked Mansell if he feels his neighbors would be happy or unhappy with the proposed building. Mansell stated he did not believe that the neighbors would be unhappy. The building will be in the back of the property and you really won’t be able to see it, even when the leaves are off the trees. It will be placed right front of the existing building on the property and it will be decorated to match the house.
Mike Johnston asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak in favor of this request.
- Rick Baldwin
- 3093 Denver Drive
Rick Baldwin stated he has no issues with the building, provided there will not be a business. He also stated that Mansell is doing a great job on the house compared to what was there before. He stated also that the other neighbors feel the same way, as long as there is not a business.
Mike Johnston stated he would like to ask for the record if Mansell plans to run a business or operate a business. Mansell stated no, it is strictly for personal use.
Mike Johnston asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak against this request. No one responds.
Ricky Morrison stated he was going to ask about the business, but it has already been addressed. Mike Johnston stated that with the size of the property, the size of the house, the way it fits in with the lot sizes and the improvements made, he has no issues with the request.
