APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Board Member Marvin Elam stated that the minutes of V97-12 are incorrect. He stated that the minutes

a permit, however, Board Member Calvin Collier actually made that statement. The minutes were
approved as corrected.
NEW BUSINESS
V97-13, REQUEST OF DOUGLAS WAYNE STAHLHEBER, OWNER, FOR A VARIANCE
FROM SECTION 10.3.3(a), FOR 5.5' ENCROACHMENT INTO THE REQUIRED 10' AT 5706
BROADWAY #1, OAKWOOD MOBILE HOME PARK
Chairman John Lejsal stated that this variance has been placed on the agenda again partially at his
request. Mr. Lejsal explained that the Board had previously granted Mr. Simpson a variance to build
his storage buildings up to the property line, thereby causing a conflict with Mr. Stahlheber's mobile
home.
Mr. Stahlheber stated that the manufacturer's warranty would be voided if the mobile home were
moved. He added that a tree would have to be cut down in order to meet the required 10' sideyard.

Fire Marshal Larry Steed drew a diagram showing the layout of the mobile home and the storage
buildings. He stated that Mr. Simpson was required to build a 1-hour fire wall on the wall of the
storage buildings that sits on this property line, therefore, the firewall would protect the mobile home
if the storage buildings were on fire and visa versa. Fire Marshal Steed added that he has no objections
to this variance being granted.
Board Member Gil Boyles made a motion, seconded by Board Member Suzanne Tullis, to approve V97-
13.
Motion passed 4 to 1 abstention.
V97-14, REQUEST OF KENNETH L. ALDRICH, AGENT FOR PEARLAND CONVALESCENT
CENTER, INC., FOR A VARIANCE FROM SECTION 14.4.3., FOR A 15' SIDE YARD
ENCROACHMENT INTO THE REQUIRED 25', AT 3400 E. WALNUT (WINDSONG VILLAGE
CONVALESCENT CENTER)
Kenneth Aldrich and the project Engineer, Al Lentz, were present for the meeting. Mr. Aldrich
presented a large drawing of the proposed addition. He explained that the existing facility is fully
sprinkled and the proposed addition will be also.
Vice-Chairman Tony Vento questioned Fire Marshal Larry Steed whether the space between the house
on the adjoining property and this proposed addition would be adequate for necessary fire fighting
equipment to access the rear and side of the building. Fire Marshal Steed assured Board Member Vento
that there was adequate space with the longer hoses that the Fire Department now carries. Fire Marshal
Larry Steed also reminded the Board that they have access at the rear of the property.
Chairman John Lejsal made a motion, seconded by Suzanne Tullis, to approve V97-14.
