ZBA Minutes

page 15
Mr. Nabors said that renovating this business would not be a sound economic venture if
he was granted only a one-year conditional variance, but Mr. MacGilvray pointed out that
economics cannot influence this Board's decision. Mr. Upham said the motion from the
Council Is general, and essentially the report had been accepted without instruction.
Mr. MacGllvray explained that staff is to present an Implementation Plan by 11-22-83.
Mrs. Meyer made a motion to authorize a variance to the lot width, lot depth, minimum
setback and parking requirements from the terms of this ordinance as it will not be con-
trary to the public Interest, due to the following unique and special conditions of the
land not normally found In 1 Ike districts: This business is in the Northgate area which
is unique and there are no like districts, and because a strict enforcement of the pro-
visions of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship to this appl leant being:
Prevention of any use of the property, and such that the spirit of this ordinance shall
be observed and substantial justice done. Motion was seconded by Wagner, and carried
unanimously (5-0).
i ·AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Consideration of a request for variance to the parking requirement
for the expansion of the business at 509 University in the name of Al Gutierrez.
Mrs. Kee explained the request which is for 30 additional tables (120 seats). She in-
formed the Board the Fire Marshal has reported to her 'that the structure is 1 imited to
an occupancy of 85, and there are 99 seats existing which are covered by the required
number of parking spaces (33).
Al Gutierrez, 509 University Drive, applicant, was 5worn In and repeated his request,
stating he wants to add 120 more seats, 30 tables, which would necessitate a variance
for 40 parking spaces (1 per 3 seats). He said this would not adversely affect this
area, because · he has, In the past, roped off this available parking in the rear of this
store and business had not been affected, which proves that most of his business is
walk-In trade,
Mr. Wagner asked If he would be wtll ·lng to curb the area along University Drive to pre-
clude parking In ·front of his restaurant, and ·he (Mr. Gutierrez) said that it may all
be enclosed, allowing only parallel parking in front. Mr. Gutierrez further stated that
he is not bothered by the head-In parking along -University Drive, but reported that the
City planners are against It. Par~ing on University Drive was discussed, and Mr. Gutierrez
expressed a preference for head-In parking. Mr. Wagner pointed out that this is the only
head-In parking along University Drive and that abolishing this may ·help alleviate park-
ing and traffic problems on University. Mrs. Meyer disagreed because of the state of
disrepair of the parking lot which is provided ~t thls location.
Mr. MacGllvray asked the applicant to point out to the Board the unique si-tuation, and
Mr. Gutierrez offered financial hardship and making the site look better as unique,
Discussion of any possible hardship was discussed, Including 11 Northgate 11 , curb cuts,
parallel parking. Mr. Wagner stated that the City has been given a mandate for this applican
to come up with an acceptable plan by December 15th. Mrs. Kee explained that this Board
had reversed the decision of the P&Z which then allowed the existing canopy at this busi-
. ness. Mr. MacGllvray said If the applicant could provide a plan with additional parking,
then perhaps additional seating could be allowed, If an addition to the building ls made,
as suggested by the appl leant as being a possibility. Mr, Upham pointed out the appli-
cant Ls asking to more than double his seating with no Increase In available parking.
Mr ~ MacGllvray said he bel I eves walk-In traffic ls a fact which should be considered in
this -area, but It · ls not the law now and this Board has to decide what it will allow
this applicant to do. Mr. Wagner asked If tabling this Item would be In order at this
time until a more exact .Instructions are received, Mr. Wendt pointed out that business
In that area could be dictated by seating capacity.

Mr. Wendt then made~ motion to table this item until an acceptable site plan is
received from the applicant. Mrs. Meyer seconded the motion which carried unanimously
(5-0). Mr. Wendtthen suggested that a survey of walk-in traffic on this site might be
taken and presented at a later date. The appl leant agreed to present a site plan to the
Planning Department for review.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Consideration of a request for variance to the front setback require-
'· ment for the reconstruction of the burned structure at 313 University in the name of
Herbert Affron.
Mr. MacGllvray pointed out that the address shown (313 University) is a mistake, and
should be 313 College Main. Mrs. Kee gave the background of this building, leading up to
the necessity of requesting this variance which is for the front setback. She explained
that this appl leant had an approved site plan but then the building burned and destruction
was more than 60 % of the building. Now, in order to rebuild this building, the applicant
must request a variance, as ordinance requires that any non-conformities must be brought
Into compl lance when rebuilding. She pointed out that in order for the appl leant to use
the portion which was not destroyed, this Board must legitimatize the front setback, which
appears to be approximately 11 ft, from the property line. She further informed the Board
that the original building had been larger, but available parking would I imit the amount
whlch can be used, and the applicant will reconstruct ' only that portion which would
comply with the available parking.
Lisa Affron was sworn in and gave the history of the apprqved site plan, and spoke of the
fire which destroyed the building. She stated that available parking would only allow a
building of 2250 sq. ft., which is what they are planning. Discussion followed concerning
what is planned with suggestions offered by the Board. Mrs. Kee assured the Board that
the available parking in the rear would comply, but repeated the front setback is approxi-
mately 14 ft, short of compliance. Other setbacks were discussed, with the decision made
that this building sets back further than most other buildings in the area. Mr. Upham
said he could 1 Ive with a setback variance which would not contribute to the parking prob-
lem. Mr. MacGilvray said this building is not inconsistent with others in the area.
Mr. Wagner made a motion to authorize -a variance to the minimum setback (front) in the
amount of 14 feet 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 nor-
mally found In 1 Ike districts: Fire~caused the need for .this variance and because a strict
enforcement of the provisions of the ordfnance would result in unnecessary hardship to
this appl leant. Mrs. Meyer seconded the motion which carried unanim~usly (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10: Other Business
Mr. Upham announced that the City Attorney has gotten a summary judgement-against the
-Shelton case, but It will probably be appealed to a higher court. Motion was made by Mr.
MacGllvray to adjourn, and seconded by Mr. Wagner. Motion carried unanimously (5-0) .·

Board of Adjustment.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Approval of Minutes -meeting of January 17 , 1984
Mr. MacGilvray made a motion to approve the minutes. Mr. Upham seconded. Motion carried
4-0-1 (Cook abstained).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Hear Visttors
No one spoke.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Consideration of variance to parking, front and side
setbac k r e quirements as set forth in Ordinance Section 7 and Table A for a business
at 509 Universi t y Drive. Request is tn the name of Al Gutierrez. This request was tabl e d
on 10-1 -3.
Chairman Cook explained that this request was tabled in October of 1983 pending a revised
site plan. Mrs Kee then explained that the plan being considered on this date is one
which the Planning and Zoning Commission has approved, but pointed out that it is signi-
ficantly different from the one which the applicant initially presented following the
tabling action of the ZBA. She then explained just what the applicant intends to do and
then explained the exact variant-es he is requesting.
Al Guitierrez came forward and was sworn in . Mr. MacGilvray expressed surprise at the site
plan proposed, stating he recalled the last hearing and the ideas expressed by the appli-
cant at the time which did not include a proposal of a· two story building in addition to
an expansion at ground level. Mr. Guitierr~z explained what. had previously been proposed,
stating that after studies of the area, he felt htat plan did not fully utilize the
posslbil ities of this business, therefore, he has decided .to expand to include both a
restaurant and retail businesses. He went on to say that if all the cars which currently
park i"i n front of his business were moved to the rear parking lot, he would still have
ample parking. Mrs. Kee explained how the required parking figure had been arrived at
indtcating that any variance beyond what is being considered tonight would have to come
back before this Board. General discussion followed concerning the number of variances
being requested, how much ·time the architect had spent studying local codes after which
Mr. Upham speculated that the person who drew this plan seemed to have tried to present
a plan wh.lch would require as· many variances as possible. Mr. Upham went on to explain
that many of the problems in Northgate have been there for many years, and that this Board
ZBA Minutes
2-21-84
pC1ge 2
has been trying to find ways to live with the problems, but a plan of this magnitude would
in all probability proliferate this already existing problem. Mr. MacGilvray agreed,
stating that an expansion of this type would intensify the problem in the Northgate area.
He specualted that a plan could be made which would meet all setback requirements by
miniting the square footage to a specific size, thus the only variance would would then
be requtred would be a parking variance, but one of less magnitude than this request.
After discussion it was agreed that both setback variancew involved substantial variance
requests, and the plan could quite easily be revised to meet at least some of the require-
ments. Mr. MacGilvray said he would not offer any more ideas to the applicant as to plan-
ning the site, but said he believed it is up to the applicant to present a plan which
would incorporate a compromrse which this Board could then consider.
Mr. Upham then made a motion to table this item until the applicant is ready to present
a compromise plan which would not involve so many variance requests. Mr. MacGilvray
seconded the motion which carried unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Consideration of a request for variance to rear setback requirements
as set forth in Ordinance 850 District Use Schedule (Table A) at the residence at 804
Welsh. Request is in the name of John M. Brown.
Mrs. Kee explained the request concerns a l4x40 portable building which has been located
on the lot at 804 Welsh and currently encroaches the required rear setback by approxi-
mately 4 feet.· She outlined alternatives the applicant could turn to in lieu of receiv-
ing a variance from this Board which include removing the building from the lot, cutting
down the size of the building or relocating the building which would entail losing a
tree in the yard to accommodate the building. In answer to questions from the Board
about how this building was placed at this location, Mrs. Kee offered the information
that she had advised the applicant prior to locating the building on this lot that he
would have to have a building permit and also that he would have to meet the setbacks
as required by ordinance, but after that she found out that the building had been moved
onto the lot without a permit and the rear setback had been encroached.
John Brown, 804 Welsh was sworn in , Mr, MacGilvray announced to the Board and public
that he (s acquainted with the applicant, but that he has not discussed this request with
him. Mr. Brown told of his plans for using the bu11ding as a storage, workshop and play
area for his children; that th~-building will be electrically wired to the house; that the
building is not set on a foundation, but rather on skids under which concrete pads have
been used to level the building. Mr. MacGilvray asked about his moving the building onto
the lot without a permit, and Mr. Brown explained that the building had been loaded onto
a trailer and he had called City Hall, and "Dan 11 (Dan .Dupies, a former Assistant Zoning
Official) advised him to go ahead and unload it until the ZBA could hear the request,
• even though he had no permlt and would encroach the setback. He said th~t after the
building was placed, he applied for the building permit which could not be issued until
a variance was granted , Mr. Brown went on to explain tha.t the residence on the lot had
been a duplex but that he had opened it up, and now the entire structure is a single (
famtly residence. He further explained that his plans are to sell this building when he
leaves this area. Mr. Upham said that in his opinion, a building of this size is over-
whelming. Mr. Wendt asked Mr. Brown to poirt out somethirg unique about his situation
and Mr. Brown stated that .If the butlding is placed in another direction, it will be over
sewer Hnes· and existing trees will have to be destroyed. He went on to tell t:.e Board
that no one will be 1 ivlng in the building, and if he is allowed to keep the building,
other out buildings on the lot will be moved. Discussion of the neighborhood, non-conform-
ities which were grandfathered In at the time of this ordinance, upgrading of th~ neighbor-
nood followed, after which proponents and opponents to this variance were invited to speak.

Mrs. Lambert Wilkes, 501 Welsh Avenue, and the owner of 902 Welsh Avenue, was sworn in
and stated she has concern over the affect a building of . this size has on the neighbor-
hood. She further stated that the fact that the building was bought and moved in with-
out a permit and with full knowledge that a permit was necessary goes against the grain.
She summarized by stating that she objects to the building on the basis of the size of
the building and the fear that the City will have to watch it continually because it does
have air conditioners and could easily become another rental unit.
Mr. Brown assured her that Jsince Mr. Brown has converted what was a duplex to a single
family dwelling by opening the wall between the 2 units, the land can never again be used
for a duplex again, as the lot is in an R-1 zoning district. Mr. McGuirk informed Mrs.
Wilkes that this Board is not discussing the legalties of the existence of this building
except as it appl !es to the variance requested tonight, that being the required 25 foot
rear setback.
Mr, McGulrk then made a motion to deny a variance to the minimum setback (Table A) from
the terms of this ordinance as it will be contrary to the public interest, due ·to the
lack of unique and special conditions of the land not normally found in like districts
and there are alternatives; and because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the
Ordinance would not result in unnecessary hardship to this applicant, and _such that the
spirit of this Ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done. Motion seconded
by Mr. Upham and carried unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Consideration of for variance to the Sign Re ulations as
set forth in Ordinance 50 Section for an office building at 1408 University Drive.
Request is in the name of Larry Landry Company.
Mrs. Kee explained that this request is for a variance to the ordinance regulations that
there can be no detached signs in A-P zoning districts. She went on to explain that the
staff's policy is to allow small, detached address only signs, and the applicant had been
advised of this rule at the time of the Project Review Committee review of the s)te plan,
but since the building was erected, staff noticed this sign and notified the applicant
that it is in violation of ordinance regulat~ons. She then referred to another variance
request by the Texana National Bank, which had been dropped when the applicant learned
he could have an address or a directional sign but .that he could not have the name of the
bank on that sign in an A-P district.
Larry Landry, 4018 Ralnvalley Drive, Bryan, was sworn In and passed around a photo of
the building and .the sign, stating that the wing walls are attached to the building and
were built with the building, but agreed that the .cent~r of the wall is detached, as
staff has implied. Mrs. Kee said she made her interpretation because she does not think
the wall is attached just because it has a common foundation with the building. Mr. Landry
said in his mind the walls and the building are all one structure; Mr. Landry said that
he does not consider this a detached sign, and further informed the Board that he has
received Information to the effect that the new .sign ordinance may allow this type of
sign: Mr. Upham informed the applicant that the proposed new sign ordinance is not rele-
vant . in this case. Mr. Landry asked for clarification, stating that it is now his under-
standing that he could block out the words "French Arbor" and l~ave 11 1408 University Drive"
and Mrs. Kee said that is correct.
Discussion followed concerning the looks of the wall, the way the wall is built and
Mr, Wendt asked for a clarification of the definition of a detached sign. Mr. Upham
s~ated that the sign is not an advertisement of a business, but rather identifies a
spectflc piece of geography. Mrs. Cook asked City Attorney Denton if a variance is being
requested or tf an appeal of an fnterpretation is being requested. Mr. :Denton replied
ZBA Minutes
2-21-84
page 4
that the question of the definition of a detached sign must be resolved, and pointed out
that the current ordinance does not make a clear definition of attached or detached signs.
Assistant City Attorney Locke asked how fhis sign would differ from the tower at the
Chimney Hill Retail Center and Mrs. Kee said she has the understanding that the tower is
considered part of the building. Mr. Denton said the tower has four sides.
Mr. Upham then made a motion to deny the variance to the sign regulations (Section 8)
from the terms of this ordinance on the basis of precedence, i.e., Texana National Bank
sign. This motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. McGuirk made a motion to authorize a variance to the sign regulations (Section 8)
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) Although possibly not legally within the strictures of attached signs,
the location of the sign on the land renders it indistinguishable from an attached sign,
and because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would result in un-
necessary hardship to this applicant being: a strictly legally attached sign would not
enhance the architecture of the structure, and such that the spirit of this Ordinance
shall be observed and substantial justice done. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wendt,
and carried by a vote of 4-1 (Upham).
Mrs. Cook requested that staff review this case, as she is not comfortable voting for
something which is not necessarfly considered a detached sign, and requested clarification
of the definition of a detached sign ,
Lowell Denton, 4218 Willow Oak, Bryan (City Attorney for College Station) was sworn in
and stated the action taken by this Board tonight is not inappropriate and the Board has
not identified a need, He stated that the Board took action on the request as presented
by the appl leant and by the action taken, has implied that the Zoning Official's inter-
pretation is correct a nd this sign is a detach e d sign. He reminded the Board that the
object of interpretation of the ordinance is consistency.
AGENDA ITEM NO , 6: Other Business
Discussion followed concerning action the Legal department has taken following Board
action, with Mr, Denton requestirg that a legal discussion be placed as an agenda item
on the next meeting. Further general discussion regarding the request followed, with
Mr. Wendt making a motion to adjourn this meeting and Mr, McGuirk seconding the motion
which carried unanimously (5-0).

ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
FILING PROCEDURES
Introduction: The Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) hears requests for variances and
use permits, and considers appeals from decisions of the Zoning Official. The Board
is a fact finding body which must determine the existence of unique and special
conditions of the land which create an undue hardship other than financial ~for
the applicant in order to grant variances. The Board makes policy considerations in
deciding appeals and in the consideration of use permits. Positive action by the
Board requires an affirmative vote by 4 of the 5 members. Recourse from decisions
of this Board is to a Court of Law. Appeals must be made within 10 days of the
Board's decision.
(1) In order for the Board to considei a case, there must be on file with the
Zoning Official a completed application.
(2) The complete application must be received by the Zoning Official no later
than noon on the Wednesday preceeding the publication date.
(3) Fees: There is an application fee required of $10.00 for each application
plus $2.00 for every property owner within 200 feet. This fee must be
paid at the Tax Office and turned in with the application to the Zoning /

rates increase. THE TAX OFFICE NEEDS AT LEAST 48 HOURS NOTICE TO PRODUCE
A LIST OF TAXPAYERS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
(4) The applicant must be present at the meeting of the Zoning Board of Adjustment
meeting for the application to be considered.
