GENERAL VARIANCE REQUEST
1. The following specific variation from the ordinance is requested :
A 25% variation from the "accessory use" provision of Section 12-6.5.B.5 (Living Quarters), enabling Applicant to
not construct a planned hallway between his residence and carriage house . Please see attached letter.
2. This variance is necessary due to the following special conditions :
Special Condition Definition: To justify a variance , the difficulty must be due to unique c ircumstances involv ing
the particular property . The unique circumstances must be related to a physical characteristic of the property itse lf ,
not to the owner's personal situation . This is because regardless of ownership , the variance will run w ith the land .
Example: A creek bisecting a lot , a smaller buildable area than is seen on surrounding lots , specimen trees .
Note: A cul-de-sac is a standard street layout in College Station . The shape of standard cul-de-sac lots are
generally not special conditions .
The water drainage pattern on the property, rural nature of the property, and the placement of mature trees on the
property constitute special conditions justifying a variance . Please see attached letter.
3. The unnecessary hardsh ip(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial hardship is /are :
Hardship Definition: The inability to make reasonable use of the property in accord with the literal requirements
of the law. The hardship must be a direct result of the special condition.
Example: A hardship of a creek bisecting a lot could be the reduction of the buildable area on the lot , when
compared to neighboring properties .
Installing a hallw ay betw een the residential structure and carriage house will result in disruption of the natural water
drainage patterns on the property and damage to large mature oak trees, both of w hich Applicant considers to be a
hardship. Please see attached letter.
4. The follow ing alternatives to the requested variance are possible:
Installing a hallway betw een the residence and carriage house is a possible, but highly impractical, alternative .
Please see attached letter.
5 . This variance will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following facts :
The applicable structures are located the middle of a 93 acre ranch . The granting of this variance will not effect
neighboring landowners or the public interest. Please see attached letter.
The applicant has prepared this application and certifies that the facts stated herein and exhibits attached hereto are
tr ue , correct, and complete. IF THIS APPLICATION IS FILED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE OWNER OF THE
PROPERTY, this application must be accompanied by a power of attorney statement from the o wner. If there is
more than one owner, all owners must sign the application or the power of attorney. If the o wner is a company, the
application must be accompanied by proof of authority for the company's representative to sign the application on its
behalf

TEXAS BOARD OF LEGAL SPECIALIZATION
Re: Requested Variance by M.B. Flippen ("Applicant") From UDO "Accessory
Use" Provision for Property Located at 1199 Haywood Drive ("Property")
Dear Board Members :
This matter concerns a requested variance by the Appl icant from the "accessory use "
provision contained in Section 12-6 .5.B.5 of the City 's Uniform Development Ordinance
("UDO"). Applicant believes that special conditions exist which justify a variance in this
instance .
The Property
Applicant purchased the 36.829 acre parcel on which the subject structures sit in 1990.
Applicant also owns 34.448 and 23.76 acre parcels of land directly adjacent to the 36.829 acre
parcel , resulting in a 93.057 acre "ranch " Property (see Exhibit "1 "). The Property is located
adjacent to the Foxfire Subdivision , near the northeastern edge of the City limits, and was
annexed by the City in 1992 .
Variance Requested
Applicant lives in a house located in the middle of the Property ("Residence") (see
Exhibit "1 "). In October 2013, plans were approved by the City for Applicant to build a
combined garage (on the first floor) and guest quarters (on the second floor) ("Carriage
House") next to the Residence , and to expand and remodel the Residence . Applicant plans to
live on the second floor of the Carriage House while the Residence is being remodeled . The
October 20 , 2014
Page 2
original plans called for the Carriage House to be connected to the Residence by a heated ,
attached hallway ("Hallway") (see Exhibit "2").
Applicant now seeks to finish construction of the Carriage House and remodel the
Residence without the attached Hallway , which will cause the Carriage House to be considered
an "accessory use " under Section 12-6.5.B.5 of the UDO. Section 12-6 .5.B.5 provides that any
"accessory use " shall "contain no more square footage than 25 percent of the habitable floor
area of the principal structure, (with the exception of garage or carport areas devoted to the
storage of vehicles, which shall not be included in the calculation and may ex ceed the 25
percent restriction)."
(; 35"~
In Applicant 's case , the Residence as remodeled will contain ~ square feet (see
Exhibit "3"), and the Carriage House when completed , not including garage space , will contain
3 , 188 square feet (see Exhibit "4"). Thus , the Carriage House will contain 50% of the square
footage of the Residence , rather than the allowed 25%. Applicant is requesting a variance of
25% (50% minus 25%) from the UDO prov ision .
Special Conditions
Applicant believes several special conditions justif y a variance in this instance.
1. Water Drainage Patterns . One special condition is the water drainage pattern in the
area . The Residence and Carriage House are located in the middle of a downward sloping
portion of the Property . Subsequent to the Plans being approved by the City , the area has
experienced several periods of excessive rainfall. It has become clear that the drainage pattern
for a significant portion of the surrounding area causes water to drain in a channel directly
between the Residence and Carriage House , in the location of the intended Hallway (see
Exhibit "5" and video from September 18, 2014). In fact , rainfall in the past month has
caused more than a foot of soil to erode from the drainage channel area , exposing several utility
pipes (see Exhibit "6"). Applicant believes that the construction of the Hallway and diversion of
the water from this channel to another location will not only present a significant and costly
engineering challenge , but will adversely affect the water drainage pattern of the surrounding
area .
2. Rural, Secluded Property . Another special condition is the rural and secluded nature
of the Property. As explained above , the Residence is situated in the middle of a 93 acre ranch .
The g ranting of this variance will in no way effect neighboring landowners , nor is it likely to set a
precedent for future similar structures .
3. Tree Damage. Finally , several large , mature live oak trees surround the existing
Residence and Carriage House , which applicant has worked d iligently to preserve and nurture
(see Exhibit "5"). The addition of the Hallway will likely cause substantial damage to both the
branches and root systems of these trees , and necessitate the removal of at least one tree .
Conclusion
Applicant believes that special conditions exist which merit an adjustment in this matter
by the Zoning Board of Adjustments . Applicant requests that the Board grant a 25% "accessory
use " variance from Section 12-6 .5.B.5 of the UDO.

The ZBA may act on any request with or without the applicant's presence at the meeting .
When hearing requests , this procedural format shall be followed:
= Staff Report
= ZBA Members ask questions
= Public Hearing
= ZBA discussion and action
MINUTES
*
*
The Secretary to the Board shall tape record all meetings. Tape recordings of meetings shall be kept for three (3)
years .
Minutes of the meeting shall be typed by the Secretary to the Board in paraphrased form to reflect pertinent points of
discussion (in the Secretary's judgement). No transcription will be made .
Minutes shall be signed by the Chairman after they are approved by the ZBA.
PUBLIC HEARING
*
*
Witnesses shall be placed under oath by the Chairman using this statement: "Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth
in this proceeding under penalties of perjury?"
Witnesses include the applicant and interested persons .
MOTIONS
*
*
*
*
Motions shall be made on the Motion Format Form and be positive or negative.
Negative motions (motions to deny a request) should be made when the ZBA finds no special conditions , no undue
hardship , or that the spirit of the ordinance will not be preserved .
Negative motions which fail do not imply the request is granted.
Requests are only granted when a positive motion is passed by at least four (4) ZBA Members. Requests are denied
when a negative motion is passed by a majority of members present.
REHEARING
*
*
Applicants must have the ZBA's approval to present the same or a similar request regarding the same property after
denial of such request by the ZBA.
When a request is denied , within ten days of the denial, the applicant may request that the ZBA rehear the request at
a future date. To make this request , the applicant must submit to the Administrator new information that was
previously not available to the Board.
10/10 Page 4 of 5
*
*
*
*
Within the ten days, the Administrator will put the request to rehear on the next available ZBA meeting agenda .
To decide to rehear a request , the ZBA must determine the information provided by the applicant is new and relevant
to their decision point of a hardship(s) as a result of a property's special condition(s). ZBA approval to rehear a
request requires a motion to rehear , a second to that motion, and passage by a majority of members present.
The determination that information previously not available is relevant to a request's hardship and special condition
does not necessarily indicate the eventual approval of a request.
If the ZBA approves a request to rehear , the applicant must pay a new fee by anestablished deadline to be
scheduled for a future meeting.
APPEAL DECISION
If an applicant wishes to appeal a ZBA decision , he must file a petition with a court of record within ten (10) days after
the date the decision is filed in the Planning & Development Services Department.

Re: Requested Variance by M.B. Flippen ("Applicant") From UDO "Accessory
Use" Provision for Property Located at 1199 Haywood Drive ("Property")
Dea r Boa rd Members :
T his matte r concerns a requested variance by the Applicant from the "accessory use "
provision contained in Section 12-6 .5.B.5 of the City 's Uniform Development Ordinance
("UDO "). Applicant believes that special conditions exist which justify a variance in this
instance .
The Property
Applicant purchased the 36 .829 acre parcel on which the subject structures sit in 1990.
Appl ica nt also owns 34.448 and 23 . 76 acre parcels of land directly adjacent to the 36 .829 ac re
parcel , resulting in a 93 .057 acre "ranch " Property (see Exhibit "1 "). The Property is located
adjacen t to the Foxfire Subdivision , near the northeastern edge of the City limits , and was
annexed by the City in 1992 .
Variance Requested
Applicant li ves in a house located in the middle of the Property ("Residence") (see
Exhibit "1 "). In October 2013 , plans were approved by the City for Applicant to build a
comb ined garage (on the first floor) and guest quarters (on the second floor) ("Carriage
House") next to the Residence , and to expand and remodel the Res idence . Applicant plans to
live on t he second floor of the Carriage House while the Residence is being remodeled. The
October 13 , 2014
Page 2
original plans called for the Carriage House to be connected to the Residence by a heated,
attached hallway ("Hallway") (see Exhibit "2").
Applicant now seeks to finish construction of the Carriage House and remodel the
Residence without the attached Hallway , which will cause the Carriage House to be considered
an "accessory use " under Section 12-6 .5.B.5 of the UDO . Section 12-6 .5.B.5 provides that any
"accessory use " shall "contain no more square footage than 25 percent of the habitable floor
area of the principal structure, (with the exception of garage or carport areas devoted to the
storage of vehicles, which shall not be included in the calculation and may exceed the 25
percent restriction)."
In Applicant 's case, the Residence as remodeled will contain 7 ,579 square feet (see
Exhibit "3"), and the Carriage House when completed , not including garage space, will contain
3, 188 square feet (see Exhibit "4"). Thus , the Carriage House will contain 42% of the square
footage of the Residence, rather than the allowed 25%. Applicant is requesting a variance of
14% (42% minus 25%) from the UDO provision .
Special Conditions
Applicant believes several special conditions justify a variance in this instance .
1. Water Drainage Patterns . One special condition is the water drainage pattern in the
area . The Residence and Carriage House are located in the middle of a downward sloping
portion of the Property. Subsequent to the Plans being approved by the City , the area has
experienced several periods of excessive rainfall. It has become clear that the drainage pattern
for a significant portion of the surrounding area causes water to drain in a channel directly
between the Residence and Carriage House , in the location of the intended Hallway (see
Exhibit "5" and video from September 18, 2014). In fact, rainfall in the past month has
caused more than a foot of soil to erode from the drainage channel area, exposing several utility
pipes (see Exhibit "6"). Applicant believes that the construction of the Hallway and diversion of
the water from this channel to another location will not only present a significant and costly
engineering challenge, but will adversely affect the water drainage pattern of the surrounding
area .
2 . Rural, Secluded Property . Another special condition is the rural and secluded nature
of the Property . As explained above, the Residence is situated in the middle of a 93 acre ranch.
The granting of this variance will in no way effect neighboring landowners, nor is it likely to set a
precedent for future similar structures .
3. Tree Damage . Finally, several large , mature live oak trees surround the existing
Residence and Carriage House , which applicant has worked diligently to preserve and nurture
(see Exhibit "5"). The addition of the Hallway will likely cause substantial damage to both the
branches and root systems of these trees, and necessitate the removal of at least one tree .
Conclusion
Applicant believes that special conditions exist which merit an adjustment in this matter
by the Zoning Board of Adjustments . Applicant requests that the Board grant a 14% "accessory
use " variance from Section 12-6 .5 .B.5 of the UDO .
