The Guymon Board of Adjustments unanimously approved a variance that will allow a property owner to build an 18-by-18 carport at 206 Will Rogers.

Staff reported that applicant Magdalena Marquez sought relief from two required setbacks: 20 feet from the street instead of the 25 feet specified in the plat, and 2 feet from the north property line instead of the required 5 feet, to accommodate the proposed carport. "She was applying for a 20 foot setback from the street to her desired carport instead of 25, and the 2 foot setback from the north side of her property by her neighbors instead of, 5 feet," a staff member said during the meeting. Staff recommended approval and noted there were no protest letters on file.

Board members reviewed photos and site placement. One board member said the requested reduction "falls in line with previous applications we've had for this variance because of the extreme narrowness and uniqueness to those properties along that road," and another agreed that similar practices were common among property owners in the neighborhood.

Following that discussion, a motion to approve item number 5 was moved and seconded. The board recorded votes in favor from Montgomery, Yingst (referred to in the roll call as "Yinx?/Yanks?" in the transcript), and Singletary; the motion carried unanimously.

Earlier in the meeting the board also moved to approve minutes from the regular meeting of 07/01/2025. The motion to approve the minutes carried with recorded aye votes from Montgomery, Yingst, and Singletary.

With no further board or staff comments, the board adjourned.
