Guymon board approves 12-foot setback variance for 305 Paul Avenue
Summary
The Guymon Board of Adjustments approved a variance allowing a 12-foot street setback at 305 Paul Avenue; the applicant attended and staff recommended approval.
The Guymon Board of Adjustments voted to approve a variance that allows a 12-foot setback from the street at 305 Paul Avenue on a motion that passed unanimously among members present.
City staff described the request as an application by Atlanta McCoy for a 12-foot setback from the street to accommodate a proposed structure at 305 Paul Avenue. The applicant was present; staff presented the application and answered board questions before the vote.
The variance was moved, seconded and approved with Montgomery, O'Blander, Meeks, Singletary and Lackey voting yes. No public comments were recorded during the item. Staff noted the requested setback and said the structure would not cross the public sidewalk; board members asked whether any overhang would extend over the sidewalk and whether similar carports existed in the immediate block.
Board members discussed the standard variance criteria, including whether the property’s size, shape or topography created a unique hardship. A staff speaker said the application did not present unusual lot characteristics but nevertheless recommended approval; the board approved the variance. The applicant did not provide additional public testimony at the meeting.
The board’s formal approval allows the project to proceed under the adjusted setback. Staff did not record any additional conditions or an effective date in the meeting record.
