RE: Property located at 4202 Ludlow Lane
Dear Mr. Thomas:
This letter is to inform you that the above referenced property has received an
administrative adjustment of 1.08 feet to the required twenty five (25) foot front
setback, a 4% adjustment.
According to the Unified Development Ordinance Section 3.15, the Administrator has
the authority to authorize adjustment of up to 10 percent from any numerical zoning
standard set forth in Articles 5, 6, or 7 of the Unified Development Ordinance. To
approve the application for an administrative adjustment, the Administrator shall
make an affirmative finding that specific criteria, as outlined in Section 3.15.E of the
Unified Development Ordinance, have been met.
The Administrator has found that:
Granting the adjustment will ensure the same general level of land use
compatibility as the otherwise applicable standards because the encroachment in
minimal;
Granting the adjustment will not materially or adversely affect adjacent land uses
or the physical character of uses in the immediate vicinity of the proposed
development because of the radius of the cul-de-sac makes the encroachment
difficult to visually discern; and

Granting the adjustment will be generally consistent with the purposes and intent
of this UDO because the encroachment is minimal and would be difficult to
discern.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 979.764.3570.
Sinc- ely,
4114

I say we issue the AA - I think this is a good example of the type of issue that Section 3.15 was written to
address.

I have not reviewed an AA since the legal staff said that we need to use the ZBA's criteria...so I need a little
help from my friends! :)
I have a case right now where the home is encroaching (by just over a foot - seems minimal) into the front
setback. There is no hardship or special condition that I see. The home was built in 2005. Terry reviewed the
plans, which show NO encroachment. The inspectors inspected the home during construction and the forms
were not encroaching into the setback(according to the string lines pulled by the builder).
So, basically, the builder did two things:
1. He did not build the house in the location shown on the approved on the site plan
2. He did not pull the strings in the correct location.
At this point, do we issue the AA because it would correct an existing situation, or do we forward it on to ZBA
because staff cannot not find a special condition or hardship that is not self created?
Opinions???
