1. Kings Forest Inc./Three Star Homes, Inc. request for a 30’ front yard setback from U. S. Highway 80 and a 30’ side yard setback variance from Sharon Court to construct a new model home at 1205 East Highway 80. Alan Crabb of Three Star Homes, Inc. presented the variance request to the board for their review and recommendation. The property is zoned C-2, a heavy commercial zoning and the front yard setback is sixty (60) feet. He explained every 7 to 8 years, the model homes are replaced with newer models. The proposed model home would replace a model home that is presently thirty (30) feet back from the property line. With a sixty (60) foot front setback, Three Star Homes could only place two model homes on this site. With no public comments, Charles Archer made a motion to recommend approval of a 30’front yard setback from U. S. Highway 80 and a 30’ side yard setback variance from Sharon Court.
