Planning commission recommends carport at 409 East Baker to City Council
Summary
The City of Jefferson Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a building permit for a carport at 409 East Baker. Commissioners discussed dimensions and siting, then voted to forward the recommendation to the City Council for final action.
The City of Jefferson Planning and Zoning Commission voted Dec. 2 to recommend approval of a building-permit application for a carport at 409 East Baker.
The presiding speaker introduced the item and described the proposal, noting the structure would have an 11-foot height and a metal roof whose color would match the existing house so it would be less visible. Commissioners discussed that a privacy fence on the property is about 6–8 feet tall, the back of the lot remains open to allow access for utilities, and the applicants plan to set the carport on a concrete pad. One commissioner noted the structure appeared to meet setback requirements.
After discussion the presiding speaker ‘recommended approving’ the commission’s recommendation and another member seconded. The commissioners present voted in favor with no opposing votes recorded in the transcript. The presiding speaker said the recommendation would be forwarded to the City Council for consideration at its next meeting; another participant noted some ambiguity about the specific calendar date when the council would take up the item.
The applicants were identified in the transcript as John and Carol Anne Swartzenbach. The commission’s action at this meeting was only a recommendation; final authority to issue or deny the permit rests with the City Council.
