Meet ing of DGcember 14, 1976
1 . Request for variance from Fred Sicilia, at 100 Moss Street:
The setbacks normally required for the proposed structures are
7t feet from the interior side lot line, 15 feet from the side street
line (T exas Avenue), 25 feet from the rear line and 15 feet from the
existing s t ructure. The garage could be attached t o the existing
house, eliminating the 15 feet clearance requirement.
11ost of the structures in the block wer e built prior to the passage
of the present ordinance and out buildings were not required to
me et a 25 feet rear setback. The right-of-way of Texas Avenue is
u..~usually wide at this lot, there being approximately 70 feet from
back of curb to the p roperty line.
If t he variance were granted, I would recommend that a minimum. of
5 feet t o the interior lot line be required in order to be consistent
with the locations of other structures in the neighborhood. There is
a 10 foot utility easement along the rear line which cannot be encroached
up on unless the Council abandons the easement by ordinance.
2 . Re quest for reconstruction of a non-conforming use by Allen Swoboda
at 2601 Texas Avenue; The sign which is to be replaced existed prior to
annexation by the City. The owner took down the old sign and began re-
c onstruction before he became aware of the requirement for permit.
Th e mobile home park has no exposure to Texas Avenue or any major thoro-
fare and was built at a time when it could rely on a sign constructed
off-premises. A sign of some sort might be of value to the public generally to
i dentify an otherwise obscure entrance.
If the variance is granted I would recommend that the sign be moved back
a t least 10 feet from the property line in order to enhance sight dis t ance
from Krenek Road to the northbound lane of Texas Avenue. The Board may
wa nt to consider imposing the condition that the sign be removed at such t ime
as Kr enek Ro ad is constructed to the width required for a collector or
t horofare street.
3. Request for variance f rom Plant a t ion Oaks Apar tm ents , 1501 Ha r vey Ro ad :
The owner proposes t o construct an entrance wall at his property line and
place adv ertising c opy on it.
r= t he ~all d i d not bear adve r tisi~g copy, it ~ou d b e per:nissable under
our o r di~..a.nce. Th e addit ion of c opy classifies it as a ~et acned sign
wh ich would require a 10 f oot setba ck.
4 . Request for remodelling of a non-conforming sign by Mich ael Davis a t
204 Texas Avenue: The existing s t ructure is less than 10 feet fFom the
r ight-of-way. The owner proposes to change copy (which would not ordi-
n arily require a permit) and to make a structural alt erat ion by removing
lighting. Photographs by the owner s ho~in g s ight dis t ances ~ill be avail-
able a t the meeting.
5. Request for variance from Wickes Lumber Company at 101 West Loop:
The owner has applied for a building permit to add to an existing storage
building after having completed the construction.
The existing building may have been the result of a variance, as the orig-
. i na l permit shows a reduced setback to the side property l~ne and bears a
no t e indicating that the City imposed a screen fence restriction. There is
no record of a variance in the Council minutes but this is not uncommon.
It appears that the Board has the alternatives of permitting the construction
that has been done, or refusing to grant the permit whereupon we will order the
s t ructure to be r em oved.

2. Consideration of a request for variance from Larry Ringer.
Mrs. Ringer presented the application for variance and added that the
proposed addition would not protrude toward the rear as far as does the
existing structure. An adjoining neighbor, pointed out that there would
remain at least 100 feet between structures in the block. Weiss observed
that the alley was not in use by the City.
().J e;. ~~ h) mov d that the variance be granted.
was seconded by fC..V~ 5 and unanimously approved.
The motion
3. Consideration of a request for variance fromJoe A. Ferrari.
Mr. Ferrari presented his application and explained that he proposed to
add a linen room to his existing laundry room. He pointed out that there
had never been an access to Meadowland street through the site of the
proposed addition.
Weiss observed that about 3/4 of the distance along Meadowland is occupied
by buildings in the same alignment and that this structure would have no
effect on the life of the non-conforming structures.
Weiss moved that the variance be granted. The motion was seconded by Storts
and unanimously approved.

· >. s :::. ollo •..ri_n g s9ecific variat ion f rom the ordinan c e i s reque st e d ~ Reques t th at
t hP fo llowin g va riances be allowed: 3' margin on eas t. ?!:>' mar gfo on ·south
(ba ck of lot), and 7 ~' on west side of lot. These have been discussed with two of
the long term jrrvnedjate residents, Mr. W a Richards of 103 Moss arid Mr. Dwain
Mu lsow of 102 Moss, and they do not object.
2'2~s variance is necessary due to the f ollowing unique and special. condition s .
of the land not .found in like districts:
The depth of this lot is much greater than the depth of many lots nearby that
have extremely small margins around buildings. If the reguested variance is not
granted, an undue hardship would be imposed on the owner and his sons who will
occupy the · house.
T11e following alternatives to the requested variance are possible: The garage
can be built in contact with the house, but with greater height, to gain the
sam e cubic footage. Thus, the aesthetic quality woyld be lessened.
Th"i s variance "Will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the .folio-wing
facts: There are a large number of oytbuildjngs jn thjs area that are 5jt11ated
ve ry close to the margins of the lots. Also, there are many buildings on
Tex as Avenue that are mu~h closer to the h~ghway than this garage will be. Indeed,
th e position of-.the house is a variance to the present code.
The · .facts · stated by me in this application are true and correct. ~:-' ~·

Meeting of December 14, 1976
1. Re quest for variance from Fred Sicilia , a t 100 Moss Street :
The setbacks n ormally required for the proposed structures are 7t feet from t h e interior side lot line, 15 feet from t he side street
line (Texas Ave nue), 25 feet from the rear line and 15 feet from the
existing structure . The garage could be atta ch ed to the existing
house, eliminating the 15 feet cleara nce requi rement.
Most of the structures in t he block were built prior to the passage
of the present ordinan ce and out buildings were not required to
meet a 25 feet rear setback . The right-of-way of Texas Avenue is
unusually wide at thi s lot, there being approximately 70 feet from
back of curb to the property line.
If the variance were granted, I would recomme nd that a Illlnimum of
5 feet to the i nterior lot line be required i n order to be consistent
with the locations of other structures in the neighborhood . There is
a 10 foot utili ty easement along the rear line which cannot be encroached
upon u nless the Council abandons the easement by ordinance.
2. Re quest for reconstruction of a non -conforming use by Allen Swoboda
at 2601 Texas Avenue ; The sign which is to be replaced existed prior to
annexation by t he City. The owner took down t he old sign and began re -
construction before he became aware of the requirement for permit .
The mobile home park has no exposure to Texas Avenue or any major thoro -
fare a nd was built at a time when it could rely on a sign constructed
off-premises . A sign of some sort might be of value to the public ge nerally to
identify an otherwise obscure entran ce.
If t he variance is granted I would recommend that the sign be moved back
at lea st 10 feet from the property l ine in order to e nh ance sight distance
from Krenek Road to the north bound lane of Texa s Avenue. The Board may
want to consider impos i ng t he condition that t he sign be removed at such time
as Kre nek Road is constructed to the width required for a collector or
thorofare street.
J. Request for variance from Plantation Oaks Apartments, 1501 Harvey Road :
The owner proposes to construct an entrance wall at his property line and
place advertising copy on it.
If the wall did not bear advertising copy, it wou ld be permissable under
our ordinance. The addition of copy classifies it as a detached sign
which would require a 10 foot setback.
4. Request for remodelling of a non-conforming sign by Michael Davis at
204 Texas Avenue : The existing structure is less than 10 feet from the
right-of-way. The owner proposes to change copy (which would not ordi-
narily require a permit) and to make a structural alteration by removing
lighting. Photographs by the owner showing sight distances will be avail-
able at the meeting.
5. Request for variance from Wickes Lumber Company at 101 West Loop :
The owner has applied for a building permit to add to an existing storage
building after having completed the construction.
The existing building may have been the result of a variance, as the orig-
inal permit shows a reduced setback to the side property line and bears a
note indicating that the City imposed a screen fence restriction. There is
no record of a variance in the Council minutes but this is not uncommon.
It appears that the Board has the alternatives of permitting the construction
that has been done, or refusing to grant the permit whereupon we will order the
structure to be removed.

structure t o be removed.
