CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
Zoning Board of Adjustment
May 17, 1983
7:00 P.M.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Acting Chairman Dan MacGilvray, Members Wagner, Upham, Wendt, Meyer
and Alternate Member McGuirk was in the audience.
MEMBERS ABSENT: Chairman Cook
STAFF PRESENT: Zoning Official Kee, Director of Planning Mayo, Ass 1 t to the Zoning
Official Dupies and Planning Technicia-n Volk
Chairman MacGilvray introduced the new Board Members Wendt, Meyer and McGuirk. The
public hearing was then opened and the Chair stated the duties and obligations of the
Board.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Approval of Minutes -meeting of April 19, 1983.
Mr. MacGilvray referred to Item #5 and asked that his name be included on the 1 ist of
people contacted, as well as to Item #6 and requested the word 11 in 11 be changed to the
word 11 to 11 • With those changes, Mr. Wagner then made a motion to approve the minutes
with Mr. Upham seconding. Motion carri.ed unanimously. (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Consideration of an appeal of a Planning & Zoning Commission decision
den in site plan a roval due to the lack of an 8 foot setback on a parkin lot at 1806
Welsh Street. A eal is in the name of Jan-Wic Homes, Inc. This item was tabled at the
April 19th meeting.
Mrs. Kee presented the appeal and gave the background of this site plan, referring to the
Project Review Committee reports rn the packets, as well as to the minutes of the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission meetings and the approved, and proposed site plans. Mr. Mac-
Gilvray asked about the issuance of building permits and the actual pouring of the park-
ing lot, and Mrs. Kee explained; then he asked about the fact that the parking lot ex-
tends into the City right-of-way. Discussion followed, Mrs. Kee explained that the
plan the Board has is the proposed plan, and not what actually exists on the ground.
Proponents of this appeal were called forward and W. A. (Wic) McKean came forward and
was sworn in. He explained the site as it exists and further explained that the mistake
was made primarily because the 16 ft. R.O.W. on Welsh is atypical, as most streets call
for an 11 ft. R.O.W. on each side of the pavement. Mr. Upham asked if a surveyor had
laid this project out, and Mr. McKean answered that he had done it himself, and the mis-
take was two-fold; that he was not aware of the extra 5 ft. R.O.W., and he had mistakenly
set the building forward on the lot 5 feet, which had compounded the error which now
totals 10 feet. Ms. Meyer asked for clarification, and Mr. MacGilvray explained.
Mr. McKean continued with his proposal to reconstruct the present parking, moving it
back and using angled parking which he indicated has been approved by the City. Mr. Mac-
Gi lvray asked Mr . Mayo to confirm this, and Mr. Mayo came forward, was sworn in and said
he would have to check on this to make sure, but he assumed the plans came from an approved
Architectural Standards book. Mr. Upham asked if this parking lot is moved back out of
the right-of-way as the proposed plan indicated, would the site then meet all requirements.
Mr. McKean pointed out that he would still be four feet short of the required 8 foot set-
back requirement.

Mr. MacGilvray asked if the proposed plan would cover the required parking for the project
and Mrs. Kee indicated that it would. The proposed 4 parking spaces at the rear of the
building were discussed, and Mr. Wendt asked if these spaces could be designated for
employee only parking. Mr. McKean said he would do whatever the City requests.
Mr. Upham spoke of the requirement of the Board to consider 11 unique and special conditions
of the land not normally found in like districts" and stated that in his opinion, be-
cause this is new construction and the other projects around had been able to comply, it
would be hard to fulfill this requirement, and in his opinion, the hardship would be
only financial.
Mr. Mayo came forward as an opponent to this appeal and stated staff has taken a position
of recommending denial of relief for several reasons, including the 8 foot setback which
assures the City there will always be 8 feet between the parking lot and the pavement
for the street, because there is always the possibility that the street could be widened
at some future point in time. He advised that the 8 foot setback not only provides a
green space, but also serves as a guarantee that the sight distance necessary for safety
can be provided. Mr. Upham concurred with this reasoning, and stated that this is an
unfortunate situation, but he fears approval of this appeal and a variance to the required
8 foot setback would cause problems with acceptance of standards in the future, and could
be a step backward.
Mr. MacGilvray asked if there is a viable alternative, and Mr. Mayo pointed out that
there is land adjacent to this tract which is owned by the same person, and upon which
a second phase to this project has been mentioned. He went on to say that this second
phase could be planned on a scale which would allow parking for this project to overflow
to that tract. Mr. MacGilvray asked Mr. McKean if any alternatives had been considered
and he replied that they had exhausted al 1 alternatives.
Mr. McKean asked Mr. Mayo if the 8 foot setback had ever been waived, and Mr. Mayo replied
that it had been for some four-plexes in University Park, but that would have been some
years ago; and that in the past few years it has not been waived. Mr. Mayo further point-
ed out that the P ,R.C. and the P&Z had specifically required the 8 foot setback on this
project. Discussion followed conc~rning certain commercial projects where the setbacks
had been waived, and Mr. Mayo pointed out that on one in particular, it had been waived
only after the City had found it had approved a maneuverability pattern which would not
work, and in order to correct that problem, the setback had been waived. He went on to
say that in retrospect, in all probability it would not be waived should the problem occur
now. Further discussion followed concerning the possibility of widening Welsh, increased
speed 1 imits, establishment of sidewalks in the right-of-way and the possibility of
creation of a dangerous situation at the driveway of this project.
Mr. Wagner asked about dates of the review by the P.R.C. in relation to beginning of
construction of this project, and stated that to him, the requirements wRich had been
approved by the P&Z were very clear. Mr. McKean agreed, but again stated that two errors
had been made. The requirement of the eight foot setback was discussed, after which Mr.
Wagner reminded the Board that they are not considering a variance, but rather either
upholding a decision or repealing a decision the Planning & Zoning Commission has made.
Mr. Wendt then made a motion to reverse the decision made by the Planning and Zoning
Commission in the enforcement of Section 7-D.3 of this ordinance for the following reason:
the 20 foot setback shown on March 1 83 plan is adequate and the parking requirements are
met as required. Mr. MacGilvray asked if unique and special conditions should be addressed,
and Mrs. Kee replied that they should in cases of variances, but the Board is now involved

in pol icy-making decisions. This motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Upham then made a motion to uphold the decision made by the Planning & Zoning Com-
mission in the enforcement of Section 7-D.3 of this ordinance, as the decision meets
the spirit of this ordinance and substantial justice was done. Mr. Wagner seconded.
Mr. Wendt asked if this Board could make a compromise and Mr. MacGilvray advised that
compromises were not within the jurisdiction of this Board, although he, too, leans
in that direction. He further pointed out that the owner and developer had to come up
with any compromises. Votes were cast, and the motion carried 4-1 with Mr. Wendt voting
against it .
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Consideration of a variance request to Section 8-D.9 of Ordinance 850
limiting commercial businesses to one detached sign. A plication is in the name of
Plantation Oaks A artments/Tower Properties LTD. This item was tabled at the April 19th
meeting .
Mrs. Kee gave background to the ZBA variance given in 1976 and the Conditional Use Permit
for a Daycare center issued by the P&Z in 1982, then explained this request. No one was
in the audience to represent the applicant, and Mrs. Kee explained that after the request
was tabled at the last meeting, she had contacted the applicant and informed them of the
time and date of this meeting when the request would be heard. The Chair then made a
motion to deny this request because there was no one there to represent the applicant
on two separate occasions. Mr. Wagner seconded the motion which carried unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of a variance request to Section 7-C of Ordinance 850
regarding the number of required on-site parking spaces provided at a project located on
Valley View Drive and the Texas Avenue frontage road. Application is in the name of
Auto Horse, Inc., a Texas corporation.
Mrs. Kee gave the background leading up to this request for a variance, stating that the
City may have contributed to the creation of a hardship for the applicant which would not
be a totally self-imposed hardship. She explained that several projects in shopping
centers have written cross-parking agreements, and the City had mistakenly assumed that
a written agreement could be furnished for this project. and had approva:l the site plan
and then issued the building perm]t for _the project to begin prior to receiving the
written cross-parking agreement. She further explained that after exhausting all avenues,
the architect, the developer and his lawyers have been unable to get this written agree-
ment, and the building has already begun.
Larry Catlin, attorney for the developer came forward and was sworn in. He gave a more
complete background to the developers' efforts to acquire the written agreement, stating
names of management companies and lease holders which had been contacted by a different
attorney and subsequently by him, to no avail. He further indicated that until as late
as the ·beginning of April of 1983, the developer and he were under the impression that the
agreement would be forthcoming, and that there would be no problems, but on April 20th,
a letter was received from the K-Mart corporation denying the request citing a decision
which had been reached in December of 1982 (but about which the developer had never been
informed).
Mr. MacGilvray asked about the possibility of leasing spaces or of buying additional
and Mr. Catlin advised that all possible remedies to this problem had been pursued.
further said that K-Mart Is not willing to furnish a written agreement, but also has
indicated that the spaces could not be used, should the need arise.

Mr. Wagner asked about the type of business and Ms. Meyer asked about lot dimensions.
Mr. MacGilvray and Mr. Upham agreed that a building which is too big for the lot has
been designed. Further discussion fol lowed concerning other cross-parking agreements in
the City and Mr. Mayo cited several cases, indicating Grandy's restaurant as the most

recent case.
Ira Held came forward and was sworn in and asked the Board to consider that a great
deal of the square footage of this building will be warehousing. Parking for warehouses
was discussed, and a figure of less than the 8 parking spaces variance was reached, and
the number was revised to perhaps 3 spaces short.
Walt Harden was sworn in and stated that he was contacted as a property owner within
200 feet of this project, and stated further that this variance is acceptable to him .
Ms. Meyer made the motion to authorize a variance to the parking requirements (Section 7)
from the terms of this ordinance as it will not be contrary to the public interest,
due to the following unique and special conditions of the land not normally found in like
districts: (l)the applicant was working under the assumption of approval of owners of
adjacent property,(2)the applicant was working under staff approval of a building permit
and, (3)adequate parking is available on adjacent property. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Wagner and carried 4-1 with Mr. Upham voting against.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Consideration of a variance request to Table A of Ordinance 850
regarding side setback requirements for the erection of a carport at 303 Walton. Appl i-
cation is in the name of Dorothy & J. G. Mackin.
Mrs. Kee explained the request and non-conforming uses vs. variances were discussed.
Mr. Upham gave the history of this particular area and cited his inclination to treat
this area as unique.
Dorothy Mackin was sworn in as a proponent (and applicant) of this variance and stated
that Mrs. Kee had explained the request adequately. She further stated that this carport
would not obstruct anyone's vision, was not contrary to the public interest, and she
was simply requesting a variance.
Mr. Upham made a motion to authorize a variance to the minimum side setback (Table A)
from the terms of this ordinance as it will not be contrary to the public interest, due
to the following unique and special conditions of the land not normally found in like
districts: (!)this is the original.ly platted area on the east side of the City of College
Station, therefore there are no like districts and such that the spirit of this ordinance
shall be observed and substantial justice dbne. Mr. Wendt seconded. Mr. Wagner asked
if the Board is comfortable with this reason as the sole condition and suggested an
amendment to limiting the non-conformity. ·Mr. Upham moved to amend the motion to include
the limitation, and repeated the motion: I move to authorize a variance to the minimum
side setback (Table A) from the terms of this ordinance as it will not be contrary to
the public interest, due to the following unique and special conditions of the land not
normally found in like districts: (1) this is the originally platted area on the east
side of the City of College Station, therefore there are no other like districts and such
that the spirit of this ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done, sub-
ject to the following limitations: (!)the proposed addition will not exceed the existing
non-conformity. Amended motion was seconded by Mr. Wendt and carried unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Consideration of a variance request to Table A of Ordinance 850
side setback re uirements for the erection of a patio cover at 303 West Uni-
Bogies Restaurant . Application is in the name of A. P. Boegner 303 Inc.
Mrs. Kee explained the background of the property and the current request, then passed
around photos of the project which had been taken on this date. She stated staff has
concerns over the stack of windows in the photos, as the building permit which has been
issued covers a patio cover which meets setbacks and the request is for a patio cover
from property line to property 1 ine, but if windows are proposed, it would indicate
that a room is being created rather than a walled-in area with a cover over it.

Should this be the case, technically the City would not be considering any additional
seating, but the added area might inadvertantly create the need for additional parking,
(even if it is not required based on numbers of seats).
Mr. MacGjlvray read aloud a letter the Board has received from Richard B. Benning in
which Mr. Benning requests a denial of this variance request.
Allen Boegner came forward as a proponent and was sworn in, stating he was plCTlning to
raise the walls and include the windows, but if the Board does not want him to do this,
it did not make any difference to him. The Chair asked Mr. Boegner to explain the site
plan he had furnished, and he went forward and did so. Discussion followed concerning
the additional capacity although no additional seats were to be included, and Mr. Mac-
Gi lvray asked Mrs. Kee if this business has the required number of parking spaces, and
she explained that the parking requirement had been met for the original use, but tech-
nically does not meet the current parking requirements. Ms. Meyer asked for clarifica-
tion, stating that if this variance is for a patio cover only, and the applicant has
already received a building permit for a patio cover which meets the setback require-
ments, what would happen if this request is granted. Mr. Upham explained that any changes
to the original proposal which is covered by the existing building permit would have to
be covered in a new building permit.
Donald Bouchard came forward and was sworn in and stated he is a friend of the applicant
and a customer at the business, and that he thinks the patio cover would enhance the
area and is in favor of the request.
Further discussion followed concerning the zero setbacks existing in the Northgate area,
the possibility of changing the Zoning Ordinance for that area, the burned out buildings
which will not be replaced because of the restrictions in the current Zoning Ordinance,
the possibility of this area being unique, the addition of a room to this building, and
the convenience to customers of this business. Mr. Wendt then made a motion to authorize
a variance to the minimum side setback (Table A) from the terms of this ordinance as
it will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the following unique and special
conditions of the land not normally found in 1 ike districts: (l)due to the typical zero
lot line (zero setback) situation found in the Northgate area. Mr. Wagner seconded
the motion which carried 4-1 with ~r. MacGilvray voting against.
Discussion of putting 1 imitations on this variance followed with the decision reached
that the building permit controls the necessary checks, and this variance is not for
extending any walls or adding any screens or windows to the walls.
Mr. MacGilvray then explained the variance to Mr. Boegner stating that if he asks for
anything in addition to the extension of the patio cover from property line to property
line, it will have to be considered separately from this variance by the Building Depart-
ment and the Planning Staff and is not covered by this variance.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Consideration of a variance request to Table A of Ordinance 850
regarding rear setback requirements for the erection of a garage at Lot 16 Block 2 of
Emerald Forest IV Subdivision, located at the corner of Rosebud & Bent Tree. Appl ica-
tion is in the name of Ranco Home,
Mrs. Kee gave the background of this request, stating that setback requirements had not
been discussed at the time other problems on the lot were addressed, but that a setback
problem had been noted on the building permit. She felt that staff must take some of
the responsibility for this problem, but that the ~ also states on the building
permit that he is aware of the requirements. ~141 l~

Sarah Norman came forward and was sworn in as a proponent of this request and identified
herself as one of the applicants. She reiterated the background already given and then
referred to a plot plan provided. Discussion followed concerning the utilities in the
easement which would be at the edge of the garage. Mr. MacGilvray explained the problems
the Board faces with the corner lots and said there are plans for buildings which would
fit on this lot, and offered the opinion that planning has been neglected in this case.
Ted Randall came forward and was sworn in and identified also as an applicant. He gave
generally the same background as had been heard, but added that he, as a builder, had
been assured by the previous owner that there were no problems with the City on this plan.
Mrs. Kee gave information that the builder who had drawn up these plans had said he had
spoken to the City and had been told there were no problems, but she has been unable to
locate anyone from the City who had this conversation.
Ms. Meyer pointed out that a corner lot with an easement ~~e rear is not a unique
condition. Mrs. Kee spoke of the fact that although t~~~2 ~&J;.,..is,..'il.JJ:),mat;tlY.~.,ep~.1.£,
staff did not discuss the problem of setback with him ~scussion 1 tolT'O~Cf"CO nc~~g ·~
staff's mistaken actions in issuing a building permit where a setback problem existed
without discussing it with the applicant, and then the Chair (MacGilvray) made a motion
to authorize a variance to the minimum setback (Table A) from the terms of this ordinance
as it will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the following unique and special
conditions of the land not normally found in 1 ike districts: (l)unique lot configuration
contributing to staff error by City in issuing original building permit on project clearly
in non-compliance with rear setback requirement. Mr. Wagner seconded the motion which
carried 4-1 (Meyer voting against).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Other business
Minutes for the Special Legal Workshop were approved with the Chair (MacGilvray) making
the motion and Mr. Upham seconding. Motion to approve carried unanimously.
Mrs. Kee spoke of a proposal by the Director of Planning to take a tour prior to each
meeting. The Board discussed the proposal and gave Mrs. Kee a reading that the Board
is against the tour citing the pos~ible ~estruction of independent thinking if it was
done,
Mr. Upham moved to adjourn the meeting with Mr. Wagner seconding. Motion carried unanimously

initial variance had been granted one year ago, and after that one year, Mr. Lampo and
Mrs. Kee had begun dialogue, but the Lampos did not understand that the hour s were a
determining factor to granting the parking variance. Mr. Wagner congratulated him
on the preparation for this request, and then referred to a mandate handed down by the
City Council which precludes any variances to parking requirements being granted for
a 12 month period which began in September of this year.
Mrs. Cook began to give a bit of history concerning the previous variance and Mr. Upham
continued to explain exactly what had taken place at the public hearing which led up
to the Board granting the variance which includ ed the hours of operation as a signi-
fican t factor in the agreement to grant it. Mrs. Cook then explained the mandate under
which the Board must operate now, explaining that there will be no parking variances
given for one year in Northgate. She ex pres sed appreciation for the survey information,
indicating that it may well be used by the Committee studying the Northgate area, but
feels the Board is committed to the mandate set down and the Zoning Ordinance spells
out the requirements concerning the number of parking spaces which must be provided
off-street and on-site. Mr. MacGilvray further explained the Ordinance, and also
thinks this request must fall under the moratorium establ ish~d by the Council.
Mr. Payne asked about this mandate and proposed that the only request now is for hours
of operation and suggested that it be granJed on a moratorium basis also until the
Northgate study is complete . Mr. Upham explained this Board ·cannot take action on
any parking variances for this 12 month period in this area, and if this variance had
been for something other than parking, there wou ld be no problem. Council Liaison
Boughton confirmed the mandate requirements and then further pointed out that at the
time of the original request, Mr. Lampo said there was no problem with parking, but
in fact, the churches in the area had at that time complained about people other than
\ church committee members using their parking lots.
/
Mr. Wagner then made a motion to table this motion until the mandate set down by the
Council concerning parking variances in the Northgate area is removed. Mr. MacGilvray
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Consideration of a request for a variance to Parking Requirements
(Section 7) at 108 Walton which is located next to Wilson's Plumbing Supply. Request
is in ~the name of J. F. & T. M. Sousares.
I":
Mrs. Kee explained the request and said that a medical office building is being pro-
posed which would require 10 spaces on-site off-street according to the Ordinance.
She further indicated that Mr. Sousares has not been through a formal site plan review,
but that he has met with the Director of Planhin g for preliminary discussions. Mr.
MacGilvray asked about front, rear and side setbacks, and Mrs. Kee explained the appl i-
cant could have lot 1 ine construction in commercially zoned areas with a required
firewall which is governed by building codes. Discussion followed with Mrs. Kee
pointing out the area on an aerial photo.
~immy Sousares, one of the applicants, was sworn in and said the building would be
an emergency type medical office with perhaps several rooms and probably no more than
3 employees. He said he owns the plumbing shop building next door, and that some park-
ing would be available there because no work is done on the premises so very few
patrons us e the available parking spaces. Mr. Upham suggested the City mak e some kind
of survey or study to find out the width of the access road, who maintains it and what-
ever else is available on the tract. Mr. Upham then made a motion to table this
request and to direct the Building Official to find out what the geography is at that
location. Mr. MacGilvray asked to point out that the Ordinance requires off-street
parking, and further pointed out that a lot to provide the required parking for this
building would be larg er than the lot. Mr, Upham said this is a special interest
situation and the public could possibly be well served by the granting of a variance.

Mr. MacGilvray pointed out that in essence, Mr. Upham would be referring to a City-
owned "parking lot. Mr. Upham reiterated his motion and Mr. Wagner seconded, with the
condition that the motion be amended to say "Zoning Official" rather than "Building
Official", and that the request be tabled until the next regular meeting of the ZBA.
Motion carried unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Other Business
Mrs. Kee asked the Board to choose a date for the Workshop with the City Attorney,
and the Board chose January 11th or 12th .
Mrs. Cook requested t .he staff to take a car-count at the AM/PM Clinic in Bryan on
weekends and evenings to help determine the amount of traffic generated at such a
business.
Mr. MacGilvray gave a report on the Northgate Committee indicating a survey of busi-
nesses in the area had been done and data is being compiled, and that more data is
being generated including population figures, bus traffic, traffic counts, etc. Mr.
Upham suggested that perhaps the number of parking violations and number of accidents
could be helpful, as well as the revenue ~enerated in that a~ea.
Hr. Wagner made a motion to adjourn with Mr. Upham seconding. Motion carried unanimously.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Approval of Minutes from December 7, 1982
i Mr. Wagner .made a motion to approve the minutes as written; Mr. Upham seconded; motion
carried unanimously.
' r . AGENDA · ITEM NO. 2: Reconsideration of a re uest for a variante to Parking Requirements
Section 7 at 108 Walton which is located next to Wilson's Plumbing Supply. Request
is in the name of J. F. & T. M. Sousares.
The public was informed that there will be one abstention concerning this item. Mr.
Upham then made a motion to bring this item off the table; Mr. Wagner seconded; motion
to take off table carried unanimously.
Jimmy Sousares was sworn in and said he felt that patrons to this proposed business
would be entitled to park across the street as much as anyone else. He said again that
he owns the plumbing shop next door which generates very 1 ittle parking traffic, and it
is his belief that the two businesses should be al lowed to share parking. Mr. MacGilvray
pointed out that this proposed business would require 10 spaces and Mr. Upham informed
the public that the current parking spaces being used for all these businesses are on
City ~ght-of-way and therefore, would not b~ ~vailable for additional parking. Mrs.
Kee explai ~ed the location of right-of-way for ~both Texas Avenue and Walton, and said the
present parking being used is on Walton R.O.W. She further explained there are approxi-
mately 50 spaces currently available in that R.O.W., and one already existing business
alone wou require in excess of ..§g_s.p~ces accord.ing to the current ordina!.'ce. Mr.
MacGilvray said that he thinks th e-City Ha-s a po f ential Northgate ln this area. Mr. Up-
ham explained the ordinance would require approximately twice as many spaces for existing
businesses as are available. Mr. Sousares explained that the proposed emergency clinic
would never require the 10 spaces as required by ordinance. Mr. Upham spoke of an area
behind the alley in the rear that could possibly be bought to alleviate part of the park-
ing problem. Mr. Sousares spoke of his ownership of an adjoining lot, and in not allow-
ing him to build this clinic, he felt the City would be discriminating against him. He
then pointed out that several spaces would be available in the rear of the building.
Mr. Upham suggested perhaps 3 employees could park in the back and Mrs. Kee pointed out
the lot is only 19 ft. wide in the rear, therefore only 2 spaces would be available there.
Mr. Wagner asked if Mr. Sousares would be willing to dedicate the area at the rear of the
plumbing shop to parking for the clinic and Mr. Sousares said this could happen. Mrs.
Kee then informed the Board that Mr. Mayo, Director of Planning, had suggested to Mr.
Sousares a combined site plan of the two businesses and then a study could be made of
the available parking at that time. Mr. Wagner suggested this item be tabled again until
•

a combined site plan could be presented. Then Mr. Wagner so moved. Mr. Upham seconded
~ the motion. Mr. MacGilvray said the City would be willing to work with Mr. Sousares
_..., if he was willing to come up with a combined site plan. Motion carried unanimously.

_)
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Consideration of a request for a variance to Rear Setback Require-
ments (Table A) at 1004 Walton Drive. Request is in the name of Wayne & Mary Saslow.
Wayne Saslow was sworn in and handed out information concerning his request. Mr. Mac-
Gi lvray read it, and said it concerned the request to delete several names from the peti-
tions which had been -presented against this variance; those name were Mr. & Mrs. Joe R.
Callaway, Mr. Howard Bivins, and Mr. & Mrs. Johnson. Mr. MacGilvray said that before
considering the petitions presented, the Board should consider the request for variance.
Mr. Saslow said his wife had been painting (artist) in the home for 3 years, but now their
children are old enough to require their own rooms, so her painting room would have to be
given up. He said her work in this building would cause no noise, no traffic, no teach-
ing, and no adverse effects on the neighborhood. He then explained the reasoffi for lo-
cating it in the spot they had chosen included the shape of the lot, access to the house,
present landscaping which would have to be destroyed if it were placed in another location,
and the view his wife would have which would be conducive to her artistic talents. Mrs.
Kee pointed out that the land to the rear of the Saslow property is actually an alley,
rather than an easement. Mr. Sousares showed some photos of the area to the Board. Mr.
MacGilvray pointed out there is room for this building on the lot without encroaching the
setback requirements of the ordinance, and asked why the building could not be located
somewhere else. Mr. Saslow's answer included light necessary for painting, access to the
home and the irregular shape of the lot, as well as destruction of a neighbor's view.
Mr. Lindsay talked about questions which had arisen concerning the possibility of this
being used commercially, and repeated what Mr. Sas low had earlier pointed out; that there
would be no teaching, no traffic, no noise, and then asked if there would be commercial
sales made out of the building. Mr. Sas low said it would not be 1 ike an art gallery, there
is no bathroom, and it would be like an ordinary workshop, but quieter than most. Mr.
Wagner asked if all possibilities had been considered in the placement of this building,
and further added that it seemed to him that all hardships mentioned seemed like self-
imposed hardships, when the size of the lot is considered. Mr. Saslow said the parti-
cular kind of use would make the proposed site best. He further said that moving the
building 10 ft. forward would make it seen nfrom the street. M,. Upham pointed out that
most buildings of this nature can be seen from the street. Mr. Saslow mentioned the
planned inclusion of a skylight in the building, and Mr. Wagner pointed out that light
and skylights should make another site a~ceptable. Mr. Sas low then pointed out several
buildings in the neighborhood which are in violation of the ordinance, and Mr. MacGilvray
said that fact is not relevant if these buildings were there before the current ordinance
went into affect in 1972. Mr. Wagner again mentioned the use of skylights in this build-
ing which would provide ample light, and Mr. Saslow said only one skylight is being plan-
ned. Mr. MacGilvray asked for any other people who had an interest in this to come for-
ward, and pointed out the photos showing buildings in violation were not relevant because
these buildings had been built prior to the current Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Upham concurred
and said that he had visited the site, and he knew this to be a fact.
Allen Fredericks was sworn in and said he is a neighbor and wanted to speak in favor of
this variance. He said big trucks would not have to go down the alley, so that should
pose no problem.
Mrs. E. F. Sauer was sworn in and spoke of the petition which she had p~esented to the
Board. She spoke of zoning laws and deed restrictions, and pointed out that the size of
the lot made another location of the building possible. Mr. MacGilvray asked about deed
restrictions, and Mrs. Sauer said that they read that nothing should be built within 25
feet of the property 1 ine. Mr. MacGilvray then pointed out that deed restrictions were
not a concern of this Board, but they were dealt with in another court.
