AGENDA ITEM NO. l: Approval of Minutes from January 18, 1983
Mr. Wagner made a motion to approve the minutes as written; Mr. MacGilvray seconded;
motion carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Consideration of a variance request to the front setback for an
existing residence at 706 Chalet Court. Application is in the name of B. C. Walling.
Mrs. Kee explained the request for variance and suggested the Board may want to develop
a pol icy to be followed in the future. Mr. W. Crenshaw was sworn in and stated that
he was the developer of this subdivision and that Jim Wright was the builder rather
than Blackburn & Riley as the Board had been informed. He told the Board the house
had been sold as a cash transaction and now Mr. Walling is merely trying to borrow
money against the house. Mr. MacGilvray asked Mrs. Kee about the 3 options she had
presented in her memo which are as fol lows: (l) Grant the variance. (2) Deny the
variance if you are willing to instruct the City to take action to remove or correct
the violation. (3) Neither grant nor deny the variance but authorize the staff to
write a letter to the lender indicating the City's knowledge of the problem but that
nothing will be done to enforce compliance. Mrs. Kee explained that the City Attorney
leans toward granting a variance when only a few inches are involved, but for an encroach-
ment of this magnitude perhaps the third option would be best. Mr. Upham stated that
this Board is not a civil court, and should not say this encroachment is o.k.
Mike Calliham, an attorney representing Mr. Crenshaw and Mr. Walling was sworn in and
stated that a corporation of which Mr. Walling is president bought this house for cash
and Mr. Wall ing's children are living in it, and will be for a longer time than was
originally anticipated, and now the company needs the cash it had invested. Since the
land was surveyed and the encroachment noted, Mr. Walling cannot get a title pol icy on
the house, and Brazos Savings will not accept the letter as had been stated on the appl i-
cation. He then passed around statements signed by neighbors in the area stating they
have no objections to the City granting this variance. He also passed around photos
of the subject house. The Chairman cal led Jim Wright, the builder of the house forward
and swore him in, and asked him to explain as much as he could about the circumstances
surrounding the construction of this house. He offered that perhaps his concrete man
had measured from the curb, which is 5 ft. from the property line, but he really doesn't
know this for sure, and cannot understand how this encroachment was missed.

Mr. Wagner stated that the Board cannot 11 sl ip this by 11 and then questioned why the City
Attorney would offer the third option if it is not acceptable. Past cases were dis-
cussed whi ch had gone to the City Council and for which the Council had forwarded a
letter to the lender which had been accepted. Mr. Upha m pointed out this Board cannot
speak for the Council and this Board does not have the authority to rule on this case
and he recommends it be taken to the City Council or the courts for action, as this
Board cannot compromise the zoning ordinance. Mr. Calliham offered to contact lending
institutions for the Board, and Mrs. Kee suggested that if this was done, whoever con-
tacts the lending institutions should also find out what they would do if they find out
the Board wi ll never grant a variance for this type of encroachment. She further sug-
gested that per haps the City Attorney should be contacted for advice. Mr. Wagner asked
if he could include in a motion that in addition to having this survey taken, he could
add a statement to the effect that if the lending institution would find a letter ac-
ceptable, that staff be instructed to submit this type of l etter. Mrs. Cook said she
did not think this would be possible in a tabling situation.
Mr. MacGilvray then made a motion to table this request pending results of a survey
of lending institutions and Mr. Upham seconded the motion. Mr. Wal 1 ing asked if the
Board is recomm endi ng a letter from Council following the results of the survey taken
by Mr. Cal 1 iham, and Mr. MacGilvray explained that Mr. Cal 1 iham is welcome to draft a
letter which staff will review, and under Other Business, this Board will issue further
instructions to staff. Motion carried unanimously (4-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Con sideration of a request for a ruling concerning the use of an
accessory structure as a residence in a si ngle family r esidential zo ne . Application
is in the name of Ronald Cru se .
Mrs. Kee ex plain ed what Mr. Cruse was proposing in his new home, and then gave staff's
interpretation of the ordinance, which would prevent the inclusion of two separate cook-
ing facilities in this home, even if one is meant for his mother-in-law. Discussion
fol low ed concerning past cases, and Mr. Upham 1 ikened this request to one which a Mr.
Martinez had requested recently which the Board denied. Ron Cruse came forward and
was sworn in and pointed out this proposed home wit h two separate cooking facilities
is being built on two lots, and that if two separate ho mes were built there (on e on
each lot) he speculated that more people would be 1 iving there. He suggested if the
Board interprets as does the staff, he would 1 ik e to see an ordinance drafted to the
effect that blood relatives could 1 ive in an adjoining unit in an R-1 area. Mrs. Cook
pointed out that it is this Board's duty to enforce the current ordinance and if the
ordinance was changed sometime in the future, so be it, but this Board must be consis-
tent with its rulings, and variances to the ordinance require specific reasons concern-
ing the land to be met before they are granted. Mr. Cruse pointed out that the cur-
rent ordinance allows for servants quarters, and does not spell out these quarters
cannot have cooking facilities. He then stated he would change his plans if necessary
to get a permit to begin his home, but wants the Board to make a ruling on this. Mr.
Wagner said a duplex (a sol id wall between units) would not be allowed in the area
because of zoning. Mrs. Kee pointed out that in the most simplistic sense, Mr. Cruse
is creating a duplex.
Mrs. Kee then requested that the term "cooking facilities" be clarified. Mr. \fagner
said he was upset that 6 years had passed since the Board had requested a definition of
duplex and none has been forthcoming. He then suggested perhaps the type of access
door be used as a criteria. Mr. Upham then made a motion to uphold the interpretation
made by the Zonin g Of fic ial in the enforceme nt of Section 1-D.l of this ordinance, as
the decision or interpretation meets the spirit of this ordinance and substantial
justice was done. Mr. Wagne~ seconded the motion which carried wnanimously (4-0).

Mr. Cruse then asked for clarification and was informed the cooking facilities he pro-
posed must be removed.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Other Business
Mr. Wagner made a motion for staff to go to Council with a strong recommendation that
"duplex" be defined, and suggested that such current criteria such as kitchen be given
low priority because of the advent of microwaves, and to give mother-in-laws the same
privileges as servants. Mrs. Kee pointed out that kitchen is the criteria and not ser-
vants quarters, which is provided for in the current ordinance. Mrs. Kee read from
the Building Code the definition of a dwelling unit, and then Mr. Wagner withdrew his
motion for lack of a second.
Mr. Wagner then made a new motion that staff go before the City Council with a request
from the Board that Council supply at that meeting, a re-definition of Section 1-D. l
Accessory Use or Structure, or Building. Mr. Upham seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously (4-0).
Mr. Wagner then made a motion to recommend to the City that the City Attorney canvass
the lending agencies to determine the propriety of a "lenders letter" and that this
be done in cooperation with other attorneys in the City who handle real estate trans-
actions. Further, that if such letter is found to be acceptable, that the staff be
given the authority to provide same to lenders. Mr. MacGilvray seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously (4-0).
Clifton Cox came forward to advise the Board that he planned to request a variance
to the ordinance concerning off-site signs for a condominium complex, and would be
asking permission to put up an off-site sign to advertise the Doubletree Condos. Dis-
cussion of the sign ordinance followed and Mr. Wagner said he is of the opinion that
all signs should come down, then mentioned some specific signs which particularly
offended him.
Mr. MacGilvray announced the next Northgate Committee meeting would be held in North-
gate, commencing at 11 :30 a.m. on February 23rd in the parking lot behind Duddleys
Draw, and invited this Board, the P&Z Commission and the City Council to attend. ·
Mrs. Kee mentioned the memo from the City Attorney which had been included in the
packets concerning the operating hours of the Pizza Hut.
Mr. Wagner then made a motion to adjourn which Mr. Upham seconded. Motion carried
unanimously (4-0).

FROM: Jane R. Kee, Zoning Official
SUBJECT: Agenda Items for March 15, 1983 Meeting
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Request variance to required front setback I ine (Table A)
when constructing a new building at 205 & 207 University Drive in the Northgate
area. Application is in the name of Louie A. Walston.
The applicant is requesting a variance to the front setback for the construction
of a new building at 205-207 University Drive. The application is fairly clear.
I have advised the applicant that by Tuesday he should be able to tell the Board
how much of a variance he wants as well as where the front property 1 ine is in
relation to the curb along that part of University Drive.
OTHER BUSINESS
The staff is currently working on an amendment to the sign regulations as recently
directed by the Council. We are also currently reviewing all of the sections
of Ordinance 850. Any amendment to clarify the definition of accessory structure
or duplex will be handled at the same time that amendments are proposed to
Ordinance 850 in its entirety.
The item tabled at the last meeting concerning the structure sitting over the
front setback has not been resolved. sent a memo to the City Attorney the day
after the Board's last meeting but have heard nothing to date. I will try to
contact him prior to Tuesday night.
