Subject: Variance Request - 4201 Cedar Creek Court
Good afternoon Mr. Hilgemeier,
I've received information regarding the Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting about variance request at
4201 Cedar Creek Court. I would like to say as a person living in this subdivision that I believe this
request should be denied.
While it is unfortunate that the home was built into the setback, it was the responsibility of the builder to
correctly determine where to build the home. They should not receive special permission for changing
the standards of the area because of a mistake on their part. Also, it could possibly start a precedent for
other builders to attempt to "ask for forgiveness, rather than permission," when building in College
Station neighborhoods.
If there were some sort of special condition related to the property or some other reason for this error, I
would possibly think differently. However, based on the information that I have received, it's simply
because of incorrect measurements. Because of this, I don't believe this request should be approved.
Thank you for your time,
