IV. 111 38th Street Setback Variance Request - Allara Mills Gutcher stated the applicant has requested item to be tabled to next meeting on February 3, 2025. Mr. Sloan reminded the board that this request was a quasi-judicial hearing, and no disclosures needed to be made if this request was going to be tabled. Mr. Ellzey asked what the reason was for tabling this request? Ms. Gutcher stated the reason for tabling was because the applicant requested the additional time to address the concerns that the city council had made in December regarding the item that came before them at that time. They are in current discussions with the property owner to the north of the site that owns only six feet strip of property and whether they can move the house on the lot SO that they're only asking for one setback variance. Mr. Cox motioned to table the variance request to the February 3, 2025 meeting. Mr. Kries seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
