Judd Cribbs of Cribbs Custom Builders spoke in support of items B. and C. He stated that
the homes being built on both lots are spec homes. He added that one home is complete and
the other is approximately 95% complete. Mr. Cribbs stated that they pulled the permit for
the homes, both approved by the City, as well as form surveys that were approved. He
explained that these were honest mistakes that were made. He added that he owns the lots
on either side of these homes as well; therefore, he offered to build the house at 909
Longleaf with a 15' side yard next to 907 Longleaf in order to make a 20' separation
between homes.

Manigold explained that these were honest mistakes. He added that there are some
subdivisions that would allow a 5' side yard setback. In order to assist the inspectors with
the plan review in different subdivisions, we currently have the setback matrix placed on
the subdivision plat. However, this is an older subdivision that went bankrupt and Mr.
Cribbs recently purchased it, so the plat does not include the setback matrix.
Chair Dyer asked if the variance is granted, would it allow future expansion of the building
along this encroachment. Manigold answered that if the variance were granted, it would be
considered legal non-conforming and they could not increase the non-conformity.
