F. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS:
1. 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

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.

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)

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.
