GEWERAL VARIANCE REQUEST
The following specific variation from the ordinance is requested:
Construction of a Private Access Drive with creek crossing consisting of fill, 3-10'x7' Reinforced Concrete Box
Culverts, 2-48" RCP Culverts & Public Waterline Improvements
This variance is necessary due to the following special conditions:
Special Condition Definition: To justify a variance, the difficulty must be due to unique circumstances
involving the particular property. The unique circumstances must be related to a physical characteristic of the
property itself, not to the owner's personal situation. This is because regardless of ownership, the variance will
run with the land.
Example: A creek bisecting a lot, a smaller buildable area than is seen on surrounding lots, specimen trees.
Note: A cul-de-sac is a standard street layout in College Station. The shape of standard cul-de-sac lots are
generally not special conditions.
A tributary to Burton Creek crosses the subject tracts cutting off approximately 7.6 acres of land (proposed
Gateway Phase 4). The only way to access the 7.6 acre Phase 4 is to cross the tributary creek. This crossing
has to be above the 100 year flood stage and provide access for emergency services. To not allow the
crossing will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land.
The unnecessary hardship (s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial
hardship is/are:
Hardship Definition: The inability to make reasonable use of the property in accord with the literal
requirements of the law. The hardship must be a direct result of the special condition.
Example: A hardship of a creek bisecting a lot could be the reduction of the buildable area on the lot, when
compared to neighboring properties.
City Ordinance 13, Section 5.G prohibits encroachments including fill and new construction within floodway
areas without a variance granted by the ZBA. The literal requirement of the Ordinance would render the 7.6
acre Phase 4 tract unusable by the Applicant.
The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible:
None - To gain access to the 7.6 acre Phase 4 tract, the tributary creek must be crossed.
This variance will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following facts:
1) The culvert structure (3-10'x7' RCB & 2-48" RCP) has been designed in accordance with FEMA regulations
as defined by 44 CFR Chapter 1, Parts 60 & 65
2) A engineering report consisting of a hydraulic analysis has been provided to the City documenting the
effects of the culvert on water surface elevations and flood velocities.
The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached
hereto are true, co ct and complete.
