I . 6/13/03 1 of 2 ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT REQUEST The following specific adjustment (up to 10%) from the ordinance requirements is requested: Csiafrok.c-1"./ 144141--- This adjustment will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following facts: The granting of the adjustment will not materially or adversely affect adjacent land uses or the physical character of the uses in the immediate vicinity because of the following: The granting of the adjustment will be consistent with the purpose and intent of the Unified Development Ordinance because of the following: The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true, correct and complete. Sig ture and Title Date 6/13/03 2of2 ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT REQUEST The following specific adjustment (up 10%) from the ordinance requirements is requested: Pursuant to Article 7.1 D(1)(e) of the City's UDO, the required front yard setback for the Property has been determined to be 38 feet. The Applicant is requesting an administrative reduction to this requirement of 3.5 feet so that the applicable front yard setback for the Property is 34.5 feet. It is noted by Applicant that the 38 foot setback is based solely on the residence located at 305 Timber Street. The other adjacent lot to the Property located at 301 Timber Street is vacant; therefore, it could not be used as the second comparable property pursuant to the referenced UDO provision which is the normal scenario. This adjustment will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following facts: Save for the requirement in Article 7.1 D(1)(e) of the City's UDO which is applicable to the Property, the standard setback under the City's UDO for a residential lot of this size would be 25 feet. The front setback requested here by Applicant is more than 9.5 feet greater than this standard requirement. The Applicant has also obtained a signed consent from the adjacent neighbors located at 300 and 305 Timber Street as well as a verbal consent from Patrick Mahoney, the property owner of the property directly across the street from the Property at 210 Timber Street, to allow up to a 30 foot front setback for the Property. The Applicant, pursuant to this request, is limiting its request to only a 34.5 foot setback. The granting of the adjustment will not materially or adversely affect adjacent land uses or the physical character of the uses in the immediate vicinity because the following: By allowing this adjustment, a mature 18 to 20 inch (in diameter) pecan tree with a full canopy located on the Property can be preserved and given sufficient space to survive and grow. Without this requested adjustment, this mature tree will need to be removed for construction which will deprive the Applicant and the adjacent neighbors the use and enjoyment of such tree. The Applicant understands that a similar variance for the property located at 210 Timber Street was previously granted by the City for the primary purpose of preserving certain mature trees on such lot. In the opinion of the Applicant, this adjustment will strike a positive balance between the need to be compatible with adjacent homes (i.e., similar front setbacks) to the goal of preserving large mature trees. The granting of the adjustment will be consistent with the purpose and intent of the Unified Development Ordinance because of the following: The Applicant is designing the residence to blend with the existing neighborhood architecture and aesthetics to maintain the historical character of the neighborhood. This adjustment to the front yard setback will allow a large, healthy and mature pecan tree to remain on the Property which will preserve a unique feature of the Property while allowing for the re-development of an underutilized tract. The approval of this adjustment will preserve and retain a distinctive and unique feature of the Property while retaining the general level of land use compatibility with the surrounding properties which is an underlying goal of the City's UDO. The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true, correct and complete. p li R ert Crawl. , A lic Date {00014509} (*ffill141 CITY OF COLLEGE STATION , Plaaains d'Developwient Sermeei 1101 Texas Avenue, P.O.

According to the Unified Development Ordinance Section 7.1.D.e, when an existing block was created by an approved plat prior to July 15, 1970, a new(infill) single-family dwelling unit shall use the adjacent lots to determine the front yard setback. The new dwelling unit shall be set no closer to the street or farther back from the street than the neighboring units. As previously determined the nearest neighboring unit has a front yard setback of 38'. The proposed single family dwelling unit as shown on the site plan encroaches into this required 38 foot front yard setback by three and half feet (3.5'). However, according to Section 7.1.D.3.h, covered porches that are open on three sides, may extend up to six feet (6'), including eaves, into any required front or side street setback. As shown on the site plan,the portion of the proposed dwelling unit that extends into the front yard setback appears to be an open sided covered porch. Therefore anadministrative adjustment is not necessary. We do however ask that the site plan be revised to show the front yard setback of 3.8' and to provide a note detailing that the covered porch is open on three sides. In addition, please include a note on the site plan indicating the front of the structure, not including the porch, is no closer or farther back than the required 38' front yard setback. If you have any questions,please feel free to call me at 979.764.3570. Sincerely, Matt Rob' on Staff Planner File#08-00500196 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION REPORT TIME : 08/21/2008 11:21 NAME : FAX .

Even though Section 7.1D(1)(e) of the City's Unified Development Ordinance requires that any new home built on the Property be located no closer to the street it faces than the nearest neighboring unit, I support the granting of a variance to this section to allow the new home being constructed on the Property to have a front setback of thirty (30) feet from the front property line of the Property (along Timber Street). It is my understanding that the section referenced above would require a front setback of thirty eight (38) feet. In addition, by allowing this variance, a large mature live oak tree located on the Property will not have to be removed from the Property which is another reason I support the granting of the variance. I am executing this letter to evidence my support of a variance to the above- referenced setback requirement for the Property. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
