4.N 3rd Street & Plum Street Variance Public Hearing
Conduct a Public Hearing Regarding a Request for a Variance From Section 19 – “MF2” (Multi
Family Residential District 2), Exhibit A – Zoning Ordinance of the City of Sanger, Chapter 14 –
Planning and Zoning of the City of Sanger Code of Ordinances, to Allow Variance From Minimum
Front Yard Setback Requirement of 25 Feet, and Minimum Side Yard Setback Adjacent to the
Street Requirement of 20 Feet for Proposed MultiFamily Development, Generally Located North
West Corner of 3rd Street, and Plum Street.
Muzaib speak briefly about the project and goes over the staff report. Staff does recommend
denial.
Open Public Hearing: 7:03 PM
Brandon Miller stands to speak to the board.
Noell is the owner of the property. The reason for the variance is because no one knows what the
ROW is exactly. Either 50 ft or 60 ft. If it is the 50 ft ROW we would be ok, but not if it is 60 ft
ROW. The existing apartments parking lot is very tight and there has already been 2 accidents in the
parking lot from lack of room. I would point out the riser room was approved on the first
apartments. Brandon is baffled at why staff is recommending denial.

Residential District 2), Exhibit A – Zoning Ordinance of the City of Sanger, Chapter 14 – Planning
and Zoning of the City of Sanger Code of Ordinances, to Allow Variance From Minimum Front

Corner of 3rd Street, and Plum Street.
A motion was made by Matt Fuller to Motion. The motion was seconed by Sally Amendola.
Commissioner Fuller asks a question and explains he remembers that there was a hardship on the
last variance because the riser room needed to be added after building was built. He states there is
not a hardship on this building site. If the lot doesn't hold it then it doesn't hold it.
Commissioner Fuller makes a motion to deny the variance. Commissioner Amendola seconded
denial. Commissioners Surles, Cooper, Stone, McAlister, and Turner oppose motion.
The motion Deny Failed with a 25 vote (Nays: Cooper, McAlister, Stone, Surles, Turner) (Absent:
Cunningham)
