Summary of Proceedings

Greenville Board of Adjustment Meeting: April 27, 2017

The Greenville Board of Adjustment met on April 27, 2017, to consider two special use permit requests and conduct leadership elections. The board unanimously approved a permit for a mobile home placement and a permit for a snowball stand with outdoor activities. Following the resignation of Chairman Justin Millarkey, the board elected Bill Johnson as Chairman and Rich Winkler as Vice Chairman.

Agenda Adjustments

  • Item #3 (a special use permit) was continued to the May meeting at the applicant's request to allow staff to review a possible 1980 special use permit for the property.
  • Item #5 was withdrawn by staff.

Public Hearing 1: Special Use Permit for Mobile Home (Applicants: Mario Leeta Salinas and Christina Rojo)

  • The applicants sought a special use permit to place a double-wide mobile home on a private lot at 1640 Sandstone Court (tax parcel 46783).
  • The 0.46-acre lot is in the RA20 zone, located in the western ETJ; surrounding uses are also RA20 with existing mobile homes and a vacant lot.
  • The property lies within the 100-year floodplain, requiring the structure to be elevated two feet above the base flood elevation of 25 feet; a building permit and final elevation certificate are required.
  • Staff had no objection to the request.
  • During board discussion, it was clarified that a special use permit runs with the land, so future mobile home placements on the same lot would not require a new board hearing.
  • The board voted unanimously to approve the permit.

Public Hearing 2: Special Use Permit for Restaurant with Outdoor Activities (Applicants: David and Sherry West – Pelican Snowballs)

  • The applicants requested a special use permit to operate a restaurant with regulated outdoor activities at 4601 East 10th Street (tax parcel 283), a 0.48-acre lot with a 2,200 sq ft multi-unit commercial building.
  • The property is zoned CN (Neighborhood Commercial); surrounding zoning includes RA20, CG, CH, and RE20.
  • The applicants described the business as a family-friendly snowball stand (no cooking; regulated by the USDA as a sugar product).
  • Staff recommended six conditions: outdoor area limited to restaurant use; no live outdoor music, floor shows, or dancing; amplified sound must be directed away from abutting properties and not audible beyond the property; exterior lighting directed away from streets and residences; outdoor activity area use must cease by 10:00 p.m. daily; and site plan approval required before outdoor operation.
  • Board discussed the 10:00 p.m. closing time; staff noted the applicant indicated the facility would close at 9:00 p.m.
  • Staff had no objection with the recommended conditions.
  • The board voted unanimously to approve the permit with the staff-recommended conditions.

Election of Board Chair and Vice Chair

  • Chairman Justin Millarkey resigned, creating vacancies for Chair and Vice Chair.
  • Per the Board's Rules of Procedure, the individual with seniority (Clay Frank) was first considered for nomination but declined, citing his term ending in June.
  • Bill Johnson was nominated and elected Chairman by a unanimous vote.
  • Rich Winkler was nominated and elected Vice Chairman by a unanimous vote; Mr. Winkler accepted, noting the role would fill only the remaining two months until the annual election in June.
  • The board thanked Mr. Millarkey for his service.

Key Outcomes

  • Special use permit for mobile home at 1640 Sandstone Court: approved unanimously.
  • Special use permit for Pelican Snowballs at 4601 East 10th Street: approved unanimously with staff conditions.
  • Bill Johnson elected Chairman; Rich Winkler elected Vice Chairman (both to serve until June election).
  • Next meeting: May 2017 (per continuance of item #3).
