MEMORANDUM ..
TO: Zoning Board of Adjustment
FROM: Building Official
SUBJECT: Request for Variance from A. R. C.
The City Planner has made studies of this case which indicate
that the n1.Lmber of spaces actually required would be le ss than
that called for in the ordinance. He has found that some new
spaces will be r equired , however.
The applicant states that there is no effect on the public
interest. This is true as long as the surrounding area is
undeveloped, but there is a subdivision under construction
on adjacent property. Overflow parking on the adjoining
street would be in some measure , detrimental to these future
re s idents .
The Planner 's memorandum and recomm endation is attached.

FROM:
RE:
.Zoning Board of Adjustment
City Planner; Al Mayo
Application of ARC ...
Agency Recors Control, represented by Dr. Wallace McMath, is
proposing to build a third building on their site. Dr .. McMath
does not feel they need additional parking because he says
they will not hire additional people. They intend to relocate
existing personnel. The following is a summary of our investi -1.
gation of the existing and proposed situation:
Existing buildings 12,188.41 square feet
24,682.23 square feet
Total 36,870.64 square feet
Ex isting employees' parking lot -105 spaces
Existing visitors' parking lot -29 spaces
Np apparent loading spa ces provided
Ordinance 850 parking requires 1 space I 300 square feet
1 space/ 2 employees
1 loading space/ 10,000 sq. feet
36,870.64/300 =123 spaces
Assume (conservatively) 1 person per car in employee lot only.
105/2 = 53 spaces
36,870.64/10,000 = 4 loading spaces
Total required: 176 parking spaces, 4 loading spaces
Total provided: 134 parking spaces, 0 loading spaces
Therefore, the existing project provides 42 parking spaces less
thean required and 4 less loading spaces. This is approximately
a 24 % deficiency. I would also note that on three different
inspections at various times of the day the situation is that
all but three to five spaces are occupied in the employee lot
but there are at least that many parking in unmarked areas.
the visitors' lot is usually full with no more than three to
five vacant spaces, but with ten to twelve cars additional park-
ing in unmarked spaces. I would also note that the parking
plan is very poor and some marke d spaces are not functional.
Now, the additional problem is the proposed building. The
building area is 27,587 square feet. 'Ib~is would require an
additional 69 spaces plus an unknown number for employees plus
two .loa ding spaces. Dr. McMath does not propose any spaces now.
I understand that they do plan some in the future-.~My obser-·
vation of the existing situation is that they need additional
spaces now. An additional building can only make the situation
worse without additional parking provided. One more point that ·
should be noted, even though the use requires very little park-
ing, is that two warehouses exist a short distance behind the
main buildings on the site. These total 22,396 square feet.
They are presently building a third warehouse at 10,000 square
feet. There is adequate space for parking there.

...
We are not able to issue a building permit were the site plan
does not include enough parking spaces to satisfy the r e quire-
ments o f Section 7-C of tne Zoning Ordinance.
A study by the Planning Department indicates that 111 p a rking
spaces and 6 loading spaces are necessary for your exis ting
.and proposed buildings to meet the requirement of the ordinance,
and this is the minimy.in. number 'Which we ~ould acc ept.
The correct proc edure in a c a se such as your s ,-i mere t he numb er
of spa c es is fixed rather than "to be det ermined by the Commi s sion",
would b e to resolve the :matter of the number of spaces through
appeai to the Zo ning Boa r d of Adjustment and then to obta in approva l
of the Planning Commission for the layout of any new spaces re-
quired.
If you desire to appeal t~is determination and seek a variance to
parki.!:!.g requirement please contact Sherry Albrecht, the Zoning -
Board Secretary, by lette~ within ten days of this date .
Miss Albrecht will ~ange 'With you to get what information the
-Board will need to consider the case. -

MEMORMIDUM
TO: Zoning Board of Adjustment
FROM: Building Official
SUBJECT: Variance, 3332-3334 Bluestem
1. The builder's subcontractor inadvertantiy poured a drive-
way for this duplex which is not of the required on-site p ark-
ing depth. We discovered this at the final inspection and also
discovered twelve other duplexes in this block with substantially
the same problem. The other duplexes involve three other builders
and have been occupi ed for up to two years.
2. The purchaser woilld prefer to leave the drive as it is for
the following reasons:
1. The house is on a cul-de-sac which is unlikely ~
ever to be extended or widened.
2. The parking provided will not require any car to
protrude to the curb line.
3. The existing drives in the area are substantially .
the same and create no problem.
4. The lot is in a curved portion of the cul-de-sac
and the shortage is not readily discernable.
3. The Water and Sewer Department does not recommend that the
City make the service re-locations that we would have to do in
order to allow the builder to re-build the drive to full com-
pliance . The Building Department does not recommend that we
attempt an after the fact adjustment of tre other drives, and
requiring full comp lianc e here under the circumstances appears
to serve no practical purpose.

College Station, Texas
Dear Mr. Nelson,
•
The duplex on .lot 35, block 1, Southwood Terrace has b een
inspected and found to be in compliance with the Building .
Code and local ordinances regulating building with the
sole exception that the paved driveway dimensions do not
meet the required minim.um.
The builder, the oimer and this depart..ment have referred
this matter to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for i~i v er
of this requirement for the reasons stated in the attached
meroorandU!!l.
Should the Boa.rd not grant the relief requested, the
remedy would be to add the required pavement to that
\Jhich exists. The . property i10uid in either case be in
compliance at the conclusion of the Board's action.
Sincerely,
N~·eflfd

To reduce The follo"WL.'1.g specific variation from thE; or dinance is reque sted :
off-street parking pavement depth from 20 feet to approximate ly 13 feet.

The drive has already been poured and landscaping completed. Re-construction

Re: Regular Meeting Time
Item #5 At this time the Zoning Board o f Adjustme nt h a s
no regularly scheduled meeting date or time. As
such, when the City recieves a c a se which should
be brought to the attention of the Board, a meet-
ing must be called. Not only does this cause a
hardship on the members from time to time, we al-
so have been questioned by the public as to the
irregularity of the Board's activities.
As a perma nent committee appointed by the College
Station City Council, I would like to suggest that
the Zonin g Board of Adjustment, as other committees,
set a regular day of the month to meet. I would
suggest the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 P.M.,
as that is the day the Board has been meeting lately.
With this arrangemant, y6u would be aware a meet-
ing is scheduled, rather than being notified a week
in advance.

Dear Dr. McMath:
CITY OF COLLEGE STATION
POST OFFICE BOX 9960 1101 TEXAS AVENUE
COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840
We are not able to issue a building permit where the s ite plan
does not include enough parking spaces to satisfy the require-
ments of Section 7-C of the Zoning Ordinance.
A study by the Planning Department indicates that 111 parking
spaces and 6 loading spaces are neces sary for your existing
and proposed buildings to meet the requirement of the ordinance,
and this is the minimwn number which we would accept.
The c orrect procedure in a case such as yours, where the number
of spaces is fixed rather than 11 to be determined by the Commission",
would be to resolve the matter of the number of spaces through
appeal to the Zoning Board of Adjustment and then to obtain approval
of the Planning Commi ssion for the layout of any new spaces re-
quired.
If you desire to appeal this determination and seek a variance to
parking requirement please contact Sherry Albrecht, the Zoning
Board Secretary, by letter within ten days of this date.
Miss Albrecht will arrange With you to get what information the
Board will need to consider the case.
Sincerely,
$~~ I
William F. Koehler

MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
RE:
Zoning Board of Adjustment
City Planner; Al Mayo
Application of ARC
Agency Recors Control, represented by Dr. Wallace McMath, is
proposing to build a third building on their site. Dr. McMath ~'
does not feel they need additional parking because he says
they will not hire additional people. They intend to relocate
existing personnel. The following is a summary of our investi-. 1.
gation of the existing and proposed situation:
Existing buildings 12,188.41 square feet
24,682.23 square feet
Total 36,870.64 square feet
Existing employees' parking lot -105 spaces
Existing visitors' parking lot -29 spaces
Np apparent loading spaces provided
Ordinance 850 parking · requires 1 space I 300 square feet
1 space/ 2 employees
1 loading space/ 10,000 sq. feet
36,870.64/300=123 spaces
Assume (conservatively) 1 person per car in employee lot only.
105/2 = 53 spaces
36,870.64/10,000 = 4 loading spaces
Total required: 176 parking spaces, 4 loading spaces
Total provided: 134 parking spaces, 0 loading spaces
Therefore, the existing project provides 42 parking spaces less
thean required and 4 less loading spaces. This is approximately
a 24 % deficiency. I would also note that on three different
inspections at various times of the day the situation is that
all but three to five spaces are occupied in the employee lot
but there are at least that many parking in unmarked areas.
the visitors' lot is usually full with no more than three to
five vacant spaces, but with ten to tw~lve cars additional park-
ing in unmarked spaces. I would also 1note that the parking
plan is very poor and some mark~dspaces are not functional.
Now, the additional problem is the proposed building. The
building area is 27,587 square feet. 'Ibis would require an
additional 69 spaces plus an unknown number for employees plus
two loading spaces. Dr. McMath does not propose any spaces now.
I understand that they do plan some in the future-.~My obser-
vation of the existing situation is that they need additional
spaces now. An additional building can only make the situation
worse without additional parking provided. One more point that
should be noted, even though the use requires very little park-
ing, is that two warehouses exist a short distance behind the
main buildings on the site. These .total 22,396 square feet.
They are presently building a third warehouse at 10,000 square
feet. There is adequate space for parking there.
