CASE 19-001 VAR: Request variance to allow a digital billboard to be placed approximately 544’ from another billboard on the same side of the road. (Subd: NORTH SPRING RIVER Block: 19 Lot: 1 LESS W 69.71' N 46.07' AND:- Lot: 2 N2 , Quarter: NE S: 32 T: 10S R: 24E BK: 542 PG: 216 WD) Property Address: 1220 N Main Street (Owner: Mike Giangrasso). Chair Armstrong introduced Case 19-001, a request for a variance. Commissioner Storey made a MOTION to waive the Reading of the Finding of Facts and Land Use and Zoning Considerations with respect to Case 19-001. Seconded by Commissioner MacCornack. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Case: 19-001? In Favor: Sergio Carvajal, Applicant: I’m seeking a variance to allow both on and off premise advertising on a lot which I am seeking to purchase to place office spaces. The sign would be 11’x22’ high resolution digital billboard. We are looking to advertise for large and small businesses that cannot afford big company rates. Commissioner Storey: Asked Mr. Carvajal that since he is not the property owner, whether or not the purchase of the property depended on the granting of a variance. Mr. Cavajal: Yes. I already purchased the billboard. Commissioner Storey: Do you have another possible lot for this sign? Mr. Carvajal: Not in Roswell, but I’m looking in other towns such as Hobbs and Clovis. Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak against Case: 19-001? Against: Tom Palmer – Real Estate Manager for Lindmark Outdoor Media: I submitted a letter of protest. I’d like to address the spacing of current billboards and the grandfather clause. Billboards built prior to the current sign code adopted in 2011 are legal non- conforming, which includes all current billboards owned by Lindmark. Mr. Morris: This is a vacant lot. This Commission approved an application a year ago to look at this as a billboard sign. Staff recommends denial because there is supposed to be 1000’ away from other billboards. There are no other reasons besides this being a convenient piece of property to plop down another billboard. There are lots within eyeshot of this lot that would be amenable for placement of the sign to better meet the criteria of the current code. Mr. Najar: A note to the applicant, all phases of development of the property should be plotted at once. The renderings on page 18 of Exhibit B (Staff Report), looks like the sign Page 2 of 4 would encroach in the right-of-way. Must be behind the setback, otherwise the placement will be errant violation of NMDOT regulations. MOTION – 19-001 VAR Commissioner Storey made a motion to deny Case Number 19-001 based on finding of facts, land use and zoning considerations, and testimony. Second by Commissioner Aguilar. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to one. (Commissioner McDaniel voted against.) Chair Armstrong: You may file an appeal in writing with the City Clerk by noon on Thursday. 2. CASE 19-002 VAR: Request variance to encroach 3’ into the street side yard setback fronting Leslie Lane. (Subd: ENCHANTMENT WEST SUBDIVISION NO 2 Lot: 7 S: 36 T: 10S R: 23E BK:812 PG:396 WDJT) Property Address: 908 Leslie Lane (Owner: Kevin & Cheryl Dillon). Chair Armstrong introduced Case 19-002 as a request for a variance. Commissioner Aguilar made a MOTION to waive the Reading of the Finding of Facts and Land Use and Zoning Considerations with respect to Case 19-002. Seconded by Commissioner Storey. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Case: 19-002? In Favor: Kevin Dillon, Owner and Applicant: Seeking a variance of 3’ on the east side of the lot to correctly fit the structure on the orientation more conducive to the house. Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak against Case: 19-002? Against: None Commissioner Storey: On Sheet 27 of the meeting packet, the site plan shows a 3' variance on the east side and a variance of 4'7” on the corner. Mr. Dillon: I was not sure if that angle in the alley would require a variance. Mr. Morris: Staff didn't think a variance was needed on that angle. Staff sees no issues with granting this variance and does not think anyone would be impacted by a 3’ reduction of the setback on this lot. Mr. Najar: I support this variance. We had been a similar variance on Bandolina (Mission Arch). MOTION – 19-002 VAR Page 3 of 4 Commissioner Taylor made a motion to approve Case Number 19-002 based on finding of facts, land use and zoning considerations, and testimony. Second by Commissioner Aguilar. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. G. NON-ACTION ITEM None H. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Morris: There will be a couple of annexations next month. I. PUBLIC COMMENTS Larry Connolly: Stated that on Richardson Avenue, Kentucky Avenue, and Pennsylvania Avenue there are signs that say “Welcome to the Roswell Historical District.” The signs look bad and I want to see if the real estate companies would chip in to help fix up the signs. The sign at Eighth Street and Pennsylvania was fixed and looks great. We should fix the other signs around town as well. Commissioner Storey: Who do the signs belong to? Mr. Connolly: Who knows? I think the signs went up around 1977. Councilor Stubbs: The signs were installed around 2000. Commissioner Storey: I don’t remember giving the signs a blessing when I was City Engineer. Councilor Stubbs: During that time, there was a Historical Preservation group. I don’t think the city was involved. Commissioner McDaniel: We did a lot of calls for the house at 604 South Pennsylvania Avenue and we kept running into dead ends when we checked on it with the State Historic Preservation Office a couple of years ago. Councilor Stubbs: Main Street Roswell might have had something to do with it. Mr. Connolly: According to Don Daugherty, the District had been approved. Councilor Stubbs: You have to be approved by the Historic Preservation of New Mexico group to become a Historic property. I think the district was designated by Main Street Roswell but that may not be true. The Historical Museum might have the history. Ms. Hildreth: The Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico sponsored the Historic District. Councilor Stubbs: There was an ordinance that did not pass. It went as deep as specific colors for houses, specific fencing and shingles for roofs. Mr. Connolly: I will do research next month and ask the Planning & Zoning Commission to lend moral support for this project. J. ADJOURN Chair Armstrong adjourned the meeting at 6:32 p.m. Page 4 of 4

Seconded by Commissioner Lessard. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to zero. (Absent: Commissioner Storey) G. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS: 1. CASE 18-022 VAR: Request variance to allow workshop to be converted into apartment. (Subd: LINDA ESTADO 1-A LOT: 9 QUARTER: NE S: 21 T: 10S R: 24E BK: 800 PG: 1762 WD) Property Address: 3017 Mission Arch Drive (Owner: Molly Kaye Redden). Chair Armstrong introduced Case 18-022, a request for a variance. Chair Armstrong: Announced that on page 14 of the Staff's Summary, the title is incorrect. This case is a request to allow 2 units in R-3. Legal description on page 14 is incorrect, but correct in all other areas in the packet and other documents. A total of five written protest letters have been received. Those who wish to speak will be given three minutes to speak. Those who sent a letter of protest will be allowed to speak after those who did not send a letter and wish to protest have spoken. I ask Bill Morris to Read what's allowed in the R-3 District. Mr. Morris: Read Article 9 and read the uses permitted in R-3, which this property is zoned. Chair Armstrong: Stated he asked Mr. Morris to read the uses allowed in the R-3 District as it plays an important role in this case. Commissioner Taylor made a MOTION to waive the Reading of the Finding of Facts with respect to Case 18-022. Seconded by Commissioner McDaniel. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to zero. (Absent: Commissioner Storey) Chair Armstrong: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Case: 18-022? In Favor: Adriana Ragsdale on behalf of Molly Redden at 3017 Mission Arch and requested the variance. There's a workshop on this property equipped with utilities that was permitted in 1993. The building was there 25 years ago. The current property owner Page 3 of 30 is wishing to remodel the workshop and possibly rent it out. We’re here to see if this workshop can remain in place with all of its utilities. The property owner is a responsible property owner and in the event the apartment is rented out, she will be on site at all times. She would monitor who would live in the apartment and make sure the renter is appealing the neighborhood. There is parking to accommodate the apartment. Chair Armstrong: Was there a permit taken out for remodeling? Mr. Morris: A permit is required for a remodel. Chair Armstrong: Has construction begun? Ms. Ragsdale: Molly has taken cabinets out. All work is on pause pending tonight’s decision. She will obtain a permit and comply with all local ordinances. Mr. Armstrong: I don’t understand, the request is for a 17’ variance in the rear yard setback that has already been “grandfathered” and is already there. Why are we doing this? Mr. Morris: It is a conversion of an accessory structure into a living quarters. Our code allows an accessory structure such as garages and storage sheds to be on a zero lot line. Chair Armstrong: The application filled out by the owner is asking for a variance and it's not necessary. The building has already been approved with a building permit. If she wants to put in an apartment unit and get a city permit to convert the workshop into an apartment, then that needs to be stated on the application and this will be dealt with at that time. Commissioner Taylor: The original variance was for an accessory building which had a zero setback and this is for a different use of the building which has a different setback. Chair Armstrong: I agree but it doesn’t say that on the application. Its city staff’s job to make sure the applicant fills out the application correctly. Commissioner McDaniel: Who told Ms. Redden she had to apply for a variance? Mr. Morris: There was some activity that led to our building officials red tagging the structure. He then explained the conversion of an accessory structure to living quarters. Commissioner McDaniel: The difference is, by our code, putting a stove in the building makes it residential (living quarter)? Mr. Morris: Yes Chair Armstrong: I know where City Staff is going with this, but it makes no sense to do this for what she’s doing in relationship to a variance. It needs to be in relationship with what she’s doing. If we hear this case, I want it to be clear. Staff requests this item be withdrawn with a clean version and new (legal) advertisement. Mr. Patterson (City Deputy Attorney): Stated if the applicant withdraws the case, the applicant will be unable to reapply for six months. MOTION – 18-022 VAR Commissioner Aguilar made a motion to table Case Number 18-022. Second by Commissioner Lessard. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to zero. (Absent: Commissioner Storey) Page 4 of 30 2. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF ROSWELL ZONING ORDINANCE: Review, discussion, and recommendation of several text Amendments to the City of Roswell Zoning Ordinance. Chair Armstrong: Introduced the item to address the Proposed Text amendments to the City of Roswell Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Morris: Stated this is the last batch of text amendments for this round. We want to go through this and hope to get a recommendation to City Council. ARTICLE 52: Building and Performance Standards Page 25 of 36, Section 3, Buildings per Lot, – boundary survey that ties properties together. Fence, Walls and other obstructions In C-1, C-3, C-4 and R-1 through R-4 districts allow 4' tall fence in front yard except design elements that meet with staff approval as opposed to an opaque fence – this is something you can see through such as rod iron. And give code enforcement the right to condemn fences and walls that are potential safety hazards. Fences over 7 feet require a building permit (instead of 6 feet). There have been people who have wanted to install high voltage fences, does not include the animal electric fences to prevent people from being zapped. Signs on vacant property – there are a lot of ratty signs. Chair Armstrong asked for an example: Mr. Morris: Buds sign Ms. Hildreth: The City didn't adopt a sign ordinance until 2011. Signs on vacant property and vacant signs are out of compliance and they don’t meet setbacks. Commissioner Aguilar: Signs are expensive. We shouldn’t have text that will prohibit someone from reusing an old sign without giving them a chance. Commissioner Taylor: Some of these signs don’t meet setbacks. That’s the line we should draw. Ms. Hildreth: We do have a non-conforming portion of our code which addresses non- conforming signs and non-conforming structures. Some of the signs are legally non- conforming. If a company wants to enlarge a sign that is non-conforming, then they have to meet the setbacks and the code. Some of these signs have become in disrepair don’t meet the code and are right on the property line and have been unused for many years. Those signs need to come down since they no longer meet the code. Commissioner Armstrong: Clarified that variances for signs can be requested. Commissioner Armstrong: Addressed the police officers and thanked them being here. Mr. Najar: The Commission has the prerogative to ask staff to edit and bring back the proposed text amendments. Page 5 of 30 Chair Armstrong: I want business owners to be able to have the ability to work with the City in the way of a variance because signage and parking lots and asphalt are expensive. I want the public to be able to come in and say “I understand what the code says, and I would like to ask for this….” Commissioner McDaniel: Stated that the City should work with the public. Make sure people are not being run off. Chair Armstrong: Asked how text amendments from page 27 to page 36 are different from 2011? Mr. Morris: Stated Article 70 is only for Old Municipal Airport (8th Street to 19th Street from Sycamore Avenue to Montana Avenue.) Chair Armstrong: If we have a sign code from 2011, why can't it be used for OMA? Mr. Morris: OMA will be a mixed use area and create a sense of place that feels unified, and create a sense of place. There will be specific design standards for that area. Chair Armstrong: Stated he understands that the City wants to keep OMA neat and clean with lighting and signage and is excited to see it. Mr. Morris: This spring we will bring the plat that divides it into large parcels. ARTICLE 66: Non-Conforming Uses ARTICLE 70: Design Guidelines – Old Municipal Airport (new) Commissioner Taylor made a motion to recommend text amendments (Article 52 through Article 70) to the Legal Committee and the City Council along with the comments and suggestions made this evening. Seconded by Commissioner McDaniel. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to one. (Absent: Commissioner Storey) H. NON-ACTION ITEM Mr. Morris: The December meeting is cancelled. I.
