City of College Station POST OFFICE BOX 9960 I l 0 I TEXAS AVENUE COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840 June 8, 1 981 MEMORANDUM TO: Zoning Board of Adjustment FROM: Jane R. Kee, Zoning Offtcia1 SUBJECT: Agenda Items for June 16, 1981 meeting AGENDA ITEM NO. 2 The Ramada Inn presently has a non-conforming sign. The sign is not in compliance with the Zontng Ordinance for various reasons: (l) The sign is too close to the right-of-way line (see Section 8-D.6.) In fact the sign encroaches some 3 1/2 feet over the R.O.W. line. (2) The sign is too htgh . At the present location the ordinance would not a1low any part of the sign to exceed 4 1/2 feet. (See Section 8-D .9 ,) (3) The present sign exceeds the maxtmum allowable area for its location (See Section 8-D.9.) The app1icant is proposing some changes to the existtng sign. These changes fovo1ve removing the "man" attached to the sign, and re moving the existing RAMADA face and replacing it with a new face, smaller in area, but located higher on the poles. The new sign will come into compliance with Sec t ion 8-D.6 -location from right-of-way and Section 8-D.9 - maxi'mum a1lowab1e area . However, the proposed sign would be farther out of comp1tance with Section 8-D.9 -maximum allowable he i ght. The sign as proposed would be 43 feet high. rt is to the height requirement that the app1icant is requesting a variance. Ordinance No. 850 Zoning Ordinance Page 47 8-D.4.

Director of Planning , Jim Callaway ; Planning Te c hnician, Joan Keigley. · In the absence of Chairman Harper, Commissioner Burke was selected to ch ai r the meeting. Mayor Halter was introduced and in a brief ceremony, administered the oath of office to new board member Dan McGilvrey and reappointed member Vi Burke. Commissioner Burke then proceeded with the regular items on the agenda. AGENDA ITEM NO. l -Approval of minutes of April 21, 1981. Upon mo ti on by Commission er Wagner; second by Commissioner Burke, the mi nut es were unanimously approved. AGENDA ITEM NO . 2 -Consideration of a reque s t for a variance to the off-street parking requirements for an arcade in the name of Edward J. Walsh, 315 Univer s Hy Drive, College Station, Texas. Ed Walsh, applicant for the variance, addressed the board and explained he had been in operation in that location for ten years and still has eight years re - maining on his lease . The retail budget tapes and record shop he previously operated in the location has been closed. The present inflationary conditions of the economy make it infeasible to open another retail outlet, but an arcade with electronic games, not serving food or beverages, is economically advantageous. A large amount of parking is not anticipated to be required for this type operation because this business will depend on foot traffic from other businesses in the area . Jane Kee explained to the board that in 1980 the Planning and Zoning Commission established the present requirement of one parking space per 15 s,quare foot, in- cluding parking for employees, which causes seven spaces to be required for the proposed business. This exceeds the present variance approval by one space. Co mmissioner Upham asked when Mr. Walsh received the variance to parking he now has. Jane Kee replied it was in August, 1979. ( Commissioner Wagner asked what the hours of operation of the arcade would be. Mr. Walsh replied he had not made a definite decision, but perhaps it would be from 9:00 0 a ~m. to 9:00 p.m., and perhaps later on the weekend. ( ( I I I I I \.A"'-.J Zoning Board of Adjustment May 19, 1981 Page two. Commissioner McGilvrey asked what was the reason for the variance in 1979. Mr. Walsh replied that the size of the building was increased. Commissioner McGilvrey asked how persons who purchased alcoholic beverages at other locations and brought them into the arcade would be handled. Mr. Walsh replied he was unfamiliar with State law in this area, but whatever the requirements of the police department are, he would abide by. Commissioner Wagner asked where present employees parked. Wherever they are able to find a space, Mr. Walsh stated . He added the infor- mation that the Cow Hop had recently relocated two dumpsters which created an additional two parking spaces behind his building . Commissioner Upham called the board's attention to the fact that a smaller business down the street was turned down for a similar request. Mr. Walsh thought the denial might have been based on the fact that the business would draw students into an area they had not been going to before since the location was two streets down from his location. Commissioner Burke stated it was denied based on the increased parking require- ments in an already conjested area. Mr. Walsh asked the board to consider the number of years he had been in business -· in the· area and also his remaining eight year lease and that he is not proposing a retail business which he feels would increase automobile to a greater extent than the business proposed . · ' Commissioner McGilvrey asked what alternatives Mr . Walsh might have if this variance is not approved. Mr. Walsh replied he has no a l ternatives. Commissioner Burke assured Mr . Walsh the board understands the problems of the bus i nesses in the Northgate area, but the board must concern itself primarily with a problem that exists and is in conflict with the best interests of the community i n that area . Commissioner Wagner asked wha t the changes in parking requirements might be if 1 50 square feet of space in the rear of the building were partitioned off. Mr. Walsh stated there was that much space already partitioned off now as office space and f or restroom facili t ies . Mr. Callaway reminded the board there would be a parking requirement for office use and stated he could not recall exactly what it would be. He further stated the board might consider the affect of space so partitioned if it were not used. Commissioner Wagner asked if staff felt the actions of the board had contributed materially through the past years to better the traffic conditions in the North- gate area. Mr . Callaway replied there are three groups involved. The business owners, property owners and the city. There have been changes through the years in types of busi- nesses in the area, but overall, there has been no appreciable change either adversely or correctively in the area . ' Minutes I • Zo~ing Board of Adjustment May l 9, l 981 Page three. \ Commissioner Burke then presented the following motion for consideration: ( ( It is hereby moved that the request for a variance to the off-street parking requirements for an arcade, application in the name of Edward J. Walsh at 315 University Drive, College Station, Texas be considered for approval . Second ·to the motion was given by Commissioner Wagner and approval was denied by the fo 11 owing vote . In favor : Commissioner McGilvrey . Opposed: Commissioners Burke, Upham and Wagner. AGENDA ITEM NO. 3 -Consideration of a request for a variance to the side yard setback requirements for the expansion of A & M Presbyterian Church office, 301 North Church Avenue, College Station, Texas. Jane Kee explained to the board that the var:i:.ance to the side set-back could be granted under Section 11-B .3 .(B) of Ordinance 850, which allows the enlargement of a building devoted to a non-conforming use 1!under certain circumstances . If this variance is granted, this would essentially establish a new side setback for this lot and any further developments by the Church within these setbacks will need not come before the board. Jim Holster, architect representing A & M Presbyterian CF1urch described the proposed new construction to the board stating it is an expansion of the ex- isting administrative offices of the building. Seating capacity in the sanctuary is not being expanded. Commissioner Wagner asked if the fire marshall had checked these plans. Mr. Callaway replied he had seen the plans, not in a review for this board, but in a review for the Planning & Zoning Commission and he had not made any objections . Commissioner M~Gilvrey asked if it would be legal to make the new construction conform to the present line . Commissioner Upham stated if the variance was denied, essentially that would be the only alternative. He asked staff if the Church would still need a permit from the board . Mr. Callaway answered it would be best for them to resolve it before the board. Mr. Holster explained the plans had been worked out in the most economical manner possible. If they tried to go north with the construction it would interfere with the existing roof line; if they attempted to go south it would interfere with the wind9ws. Commissioner Upham stated if it were redesigned for smaller space it could remain in the present variance. He then asked Jane Kee to read Section ll-B .3(B) of Ordinance No. 850. After discussion, Commission er Burke formed the fo 11 owing mo ti on for consideration: It is hereby moved that the variance to the side yard setback requirements for the expansion of A & M Presbyterian Church office, 301 North Church Avenue, College Station, Texas be approved with the stipulation that the approval of this variance does not approve future construction or expansion of this non-conforming use without approval of this board. ( Zon i ng Board of Adjustment May l 9, 1981 Page four . The motion was given second by Commissioner Upham a nd wa s unan i mou s ly a pproved. AGENDA ITEM NO. 4 -Other Business . Mr. J. W. Wood approached t he board for consideration of a variance to lot width in the area of University Drive at Fed Mart Drive where a duplex develop - men t is proposed. He explained he was not asking for approval at this time, but wanted to get a feeling of the board's attitude toward such · a variance be- fore proceeding with planning and development of the area. The reason for con- siderat i on of a variance to t he lot width is to allow the duplexes to be designed for rear parking. The lots would be deeper than the present requirement and the square footage of the lot areas will be the same. Mr. Callaway explained that work in the area of devel oping an Ordinan ce s o this type development could be allowed had been on going, and at some time in the future it would probably be s ent to the Planning & Zon i ng Commiss i on . Mr. Wood said he would like to work toward such an Ordinance . Commissioner Wagner replied that stri ct interpre t ation had been placed on exist - ing situations. He then asked were there topographical or other reasons which could create unique and unusual circumstances which would justify the reduction of lot width. Mr. Wood stated there were not. The ir feeling is that by changing the lot size in this manner it would create a better development with better eye appeal and more useable rear space to the unit s. After a further discussion, the board agreed this was not a matter over which they could make a decision or recommendation, but encourage Mr . Wood to work with .staff to develop an Ordinance which could and would allow such flexibility. There being no furt he r business to come before t he body, upon motion by Co mmissioner McGilvrey; second by Cpmmissioner Wagner, the meeting was adjourned .

Proposed corner of carport matches the existing driveway which is 16" from side property line. Design and pitch of carport roof matches front of house exactly to provide uniform appearance. (See drawing attached) Th i s variance is n e cessary due to the following unique and sp e c i al cond itions of the land not found in like distric t s: Previous garage was enclosed for additional bedroom and bath. Old driveway will accommodate 3-car carport without any change. We have three cars and would like to cover them. In addi- pitch (~hich matches the front of existing house). The followi n g alt e rnatives to th e requested varianc e a r e poss i b le: Not having a covered area for all three cars and having a driveway 8 1 wider than the carport would look silly. Can't turn the garage the other direction because the width of the driveway and space next to it does not allow a normal size ca r to he abl~ to turn 90 degrees into a garage or carport attached to the side of house facing south (instead of west as is being requested). There is also an air conditioner unit in the way. This variance will not be contrary to the public interes t by vir t u e o f t h e followi n g . "~ f ~c ts : The variance would provide a covered carport that would present a more finished 1 uniform and complete appearance.

June 4, 1981 Zoning Board of Adjustment City of College Station College Station, Texas 77840 RE: Mr. Chalan Jones' Proposed Addition at 2809 Brothers Blvd. Gentlemen: I am Mr. Jones' next door neighbor at 2901 Brothers Blvd., and my house adjoins Mr. Jones' property on the side where he is proposing to add a carport. Mr. Jones showed me his plans for the proposed addition of a 3-car carport at the end of his drive-way . As a neighbor, I understand his needs and desire to have a carport built, and his plans, in my opinion, seem reasonable. I, therefore, have no objections to Mr. Jones' plans to add such a carport as long as the following two conditions are met. 1. The Zoning Board of Adjustment, City of College Station, has determined that the proposed addition is acceptable under the currently applicable rules and regulations governing the City Zoning Ordinances, including general appearance, fire hazard and others. 2. The current or all future owners of the property at 2901 Brothers Blvd. will not be held responsible, legally or otherwise, for any damages or violations of city zoning ordinances or others arising directly or indirectly from the proposed addition. If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please let me know. Yours very truly, ~~~ Khee Choon Rhee 2901 Brothers Blvd. College Station, Texas 77840 ...
