`GENERAL VARIANCE REQUEST
The following specific variation from the ordinance is requested:
Request to replat the subject three lots into one large lot in order to
construct a larger residence and to remodel the existing two story
apartment.
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.
The existing two story apartment violates the present set-back
requirements from Fairview Street (25 ft. ) and from George Bush Dr. (15 ft. )
See enclosed plat.
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.
The set-back violation is due to the reconstruction of George Bush Drive a
number of years ago. The present building was built in 1928 and the present
owners want to preserve it. The previous owner was an instructor of the
TreTETTIt owner a A&M in the 50 ' s. The building has economic. Nra1„P ana i .

The variance would also provide for an 8 ' wide porch to be constructed
on the east and south side of the building as pictured on the enclosed
site plan.

The improvements planned for this building and the new residence along with
the landscaping and fencing will make a very pleasing appearance to the
community and a substantial increase to the tax base that the schools and
community needs.

facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are true and correct. IF APPLICATION IS
FILED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, APPLICATION MUST BE
