RE: Property located at 1317 Markham Court
Dear Mr. Douget:
This letter is to inform you that the above referenced property has received an
administrative adjustment of one foot and six inches (1'-6") to the required rear
building setback of 20 feet, thus a rear building setback of 18'-6" is granted (7.5%
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 minor rear
building encroachment will not alter the intensity of the land use;
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 the encroachment does not materially alter the character of
the structure or its use; and
• Page 2 November 29,2006
Granting the adjustment will be generally consistent with the purposes and intent
of this UDO owing to the scale of encroachment.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 979.764.3570.
Sincerely,
Lance Simms
Acting Director of Planning and Development Services
