PDD Planned Development District. Case # AWV2022-000022 - Temporary Tower Crane
Staff Planner Macias presented the items 2.3 and 2.4 to the Board and stated that the applicant is requesting a 12-foot variance to allow for the use of a temporary mobile crane for assembly and disassembly of the tower crane, and a 12-foot variance to allow for the use of a temporary tower crane for construction.
Staff recommended approval of the requests due to the fact that they meet the specified criteria. Specifically: 1. A literal application or enforcement of the regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship.
2. The granting of the relief would result in substantial justice being done.
3. The granting of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest.
4. The granting of the relief would be in accordance with the spirit of
the regulation.
Chairperson Dupriest asked staff why the variances for both the mobile crane and the tower crane are 12 feet if the mobile crane has a higher height.
Staff Planner Macias replied that the mobile crane will move around the building and will have varying heights. As the crane moves around the building the maximum allowable
height changes. The variance they are requesting is for the maximum height of the crane. Chairperson Dupriest opened the public hearing.
No one spoke during the public meeting.
Chairperson Dupriest closed the public hearing.
Board Member Hutchins motioned to approve item 2.3, a 12-foot height variance to the Easterwood Airport Zoning Ordinance for a temporary mobile crane, as it will not be contrary to the public interest, the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Texas A&M University did not have concerns, and that the approval was within the Zoning Board of Adjustment’s jurisdiction, Board Member Crittenden seconded the motion, the motion passed 5-0. Board Member Smith motioned to approve item 2.4, a 12-foot height variance to the Easterwood Airport Zoning Ordinance for a temporary tower crane, as it will not be contrary to the public interest, the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Texas A&M University did not have concerns, and that the approval was within the Zoning Board of Adjustment’s jurisdiction, Board Member Jackson seconded the motion, the motion passed 5-0. 3.

ZONING:NG-1 Core Northgate
PROPERTY OWNER:Rountree Development, LTD
APPLICANT:CA Ventures
PROJECT MANAGER:Jeff Howell, Senior Planner
jhowell@cstx.gov
RECOMMENDATION:Approval
BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing a new mixed-use development in Northgate
encompassing four lots on the corner of First Street and Church Avenue. This
building is anticipated to consist of commercial use on the ground floor, with a
parking garage and residential units above which will be similar in character to
other developments in the area. The structure is anticipated to be
approximately 23 stories in height. The north corner of the building is proposed
to sit at 576 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL), the west corner at 576 feet
AMSL, the east corner at 576 feet AMSL, and the south corner at 578 feet AMSL.
The highest point of the proposed building is to be at 578 AMSL (or 235 AGL).
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Easterwood Airport Management
have provided support of height up to 578 feet ASML.
Per the Airport Zoning Ordinance for Easterwood Airport, the maximum height
of a structure at this location is limited to 470.6 feet Above Mean Sea Level
(AMSL).

REVIEW CRITERIA
According to the Texas Local Government Code Section 241.034 Variances, the Board shall allow a variance from
an airport zoning regulation if all of the following criteria are met:
1. A literal application or enforcement of the regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship.
2. The granting of the relief would result in substantial justice being done.
3. The granting of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest.
4. The granting of the relief would be in accordance with the spirit of the regulation.
The Board may impose any reasonable conditions on the variance that it considers necessary to accomplish the
purpose of airport zoning.
The variance request is to allow for an increase in maximum height for a new proposed mixed-use structure. The
applicant will be coming forward at a later date with a separate variance request for a crane if this structural
variance is granted. The overall building height will sit at a maximum of 578 feet Above Mean Sea Level (or 235
Page 7 of 91
Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment Page 3 of 3
February 7, 2023
Above Ground Level (AGL)). The FAA has made the determination that No Hazard to Air Navigation is present for
the proposed structure at 203 Church Avenue. The Easterwood Airport Management (EAM) team has no
objections to granting a height variance for the proposed structure. In consultation with the EAM team, the
TAMU System has no objections to the granting of a height variance.
Allowing the height encroachment for this development will result in substantial justice being done. The relief
would not be contrary to public interest as the FAA, EAM, and TAMU systems have deemed this proposal
acceptable with the proper communication between the applicant and airport required. The relief would further
be in accordance with the spirit of regulation to allow development while protecting lives, property, and airport
operations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
After reviewing the request and the related criteria, the information provided by the FAA, EAM and TAMU, staff
recommends approval of the request. The granting of the variance would result in substantial justice being
done without being contrary to the public interest, and the spirit of the regulation remains.

Name of Project: 203 CHURCH AVE - HEIGHT VARIANCE
Address: 203 CHURCH AVE
Legal Description: BOYETT, BLOCK 12, LOT 1-2 (51' OF)
Applicant: CA VENTURES
Property Owner: ROUNTREE DEVELOPMENT LTD
Applicable ordinance section being appealed/seeking waiver from:
Easterwood Field Airport Zoning Ordinance regarding height limitations
The following specific variation to the ordinance is requested:
Variation to construct building at 235ft AGL
The unnecessary hardship(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial
hardship is/are:
We consider this parcel¶s constraints a hardship to the proposed project and its ability to fully comply with the
Northgate Design District (NG) and the concepts related to the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND)
standards. If the variance is approved, the 203 Church parcel will uphold Northgate¶s design standards and will
produce the district¶s intended end result: a unique, pedestrian-friendly, dense urban environment that allows
citizens of College Station and students of Texas A&M to safely eat, work, live, and recreate in an area within
APPEAL/WAIVER APPLICATION
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
The following special condition exists:
The subject parcel, 203 Church, is located in the heart of Northgate and directly across the street from Texas
A&M University in an urban dense zone in the city of College Station. The 203 Church project team is seeking
a variance to update and improve the current conditions of the parcel by constructing a new mixed-use
apartment building which will bring residential units and commercial space to this urban core location. The
proposed project¶s height was recently approved by the FAA and will be comparable in height with other
residential developments (also approved by the FAA and Easterwood Airport) constructed in the Northgate
Urban Zone. The delivery of residential units and ground floor commercial space along University Ave will
benefit all College Station residents compared to what is on site currently making for an improved pedestrian
experience. Additionally, the project will look to contribute to Northgate¶s unique "campus neighborhood" which
contains local businesses, churches, and off-campus housing in close proximity to the University.

close proximity to the University.
The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible:
N/A
The variance will not be contrary to public interest due to:
The project team is requesting a variance on the parcel to safely house the required parking spaces per the
zoning code. Due to the parcel¶s dimensional constraints and small acreage, the project will not be able to
adequately provide the required parking spaces onsite without the approved variance. With this variance, the
project will be able to house all the required parking in a parking structure within the parcel mitigating any
need for offsite parking. An approved variance will improve the project¶s compliance with Northgate design
standards and preferences and will provide the project¶s patrons with the safest means to ingress/egress
within the parcel¶s boundaries.

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:Building 203 Church Ave - North Corner R1
Location:College Station, TX
Latitude:30-37-05.24N NAD 83
Longitude:96-20-54.86W
Heights:346 feet site elevation (SE)
232 feet above ground level (AGL)
578 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe
and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities.
Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby determined that the structure would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s) is(are) met:
As a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 M, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights-Chapters 4,5(Red),&15.
Any failure or malfunction that lasts more than thirty (30) minutes and affects a top light or flashing obstruction
light, regardless of its position, should be reported immediately to (877) 487-6867 so a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM) can be issued. As soon as the normal operation is restored, notify the same number.
It is required that FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be e-filed any time the
project is abandoned or:
_____ At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part 1)
__X__ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part 2)
See attachment for additional condition(s) or information.
This determination expires on 05/29/2024 unless:
Page 14 of 91
Page 2 of 9
(a)the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b)extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c)the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is subject to review if an interested party files a petition that is received by the FAA on or
before December 29, 2022. In the event an interested party files a petition for review, it must contain a full
statement of the basis upon which the petition is made. Petitions can be submitted to the Manager of the Rules
and Regulations Group via e-mail at OEPetitions@faa.gov, via mail to Federal Aviation Administration, Air
Traffic Organization, Rules and Regulations Group, Room 425, 800 Independence Ave, SW, Washington, DC
20591, or via facsimile (202) 267-9328. FAA encourages the use of email to ensure timely processing.
This determination becomes final on January 08, 2023 unless a petition is timely filed. In which case, this
determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the
grant of any review. For any questions regarding your petition, please contact Rules and Regulations Group via
telephone – 202-267-8783.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, effective 21 Nov 2007, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including
increase to heights, power or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This
determination includes all previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or
regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and
en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact
on all existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative
impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed
Page 15 of 91
Page 3 of 9
structures. The study disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect on air
navigation.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA during the study (if any), and the
basis for the FAA's decision in this matter can be found on the following page(s).
This determination cancels and supersedes prior determinations issued for this structure.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact Andrew Hollie, at (817) 222-5933, or andrew.hollie@faa.gov.

Our study has disclosed that this proposed building project is composed of five studies that represent the corners
of the building, located approximately 1.90 nm northeast of the airport reference point, is within the protected
surfaces at Easterwood Field (CLL), College Station, TX. The initial five studies were circulated for public
comment and received a favorable determination on 10/26/2022. But since the coordinates were changed
and are now further away from the airport and the height of the building increased, but the site elevation was
corrected to be lower, new studies were required. For comparison purposes, both sets of studies are listed
The five previous studies have been terminated and are:

**Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted in order to identify those
which warrant further aeronautical study. This study is conducted in order to determine if the proposal would
have a significant adverse effect on protected aeronautical operations and airspace. While part 77 obstruction
standards trigger formal aeronautical study, including public circularization, these obstruction standards do
not constitute absolute or arbitrary criteria for identification of hazards to air navigation. Accordingly, the fact
that a proposed structure exceeds certain obstruction standards of part 77 is in itself not sufficient grounds for
issuance of a determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was previously circularized for public comment on 09/08/2022 to 6073 email respondents with
zero response returned. The new studies were not circulated as the impact is less than the greatest impact of the
previous studies that were circulated.

> The proposed structure would not penetrate those altitudes normally considered available to airmen for VFR
en route flight.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure, when combined with other existing structures is not
considered significant. Study did not disclose any adverse effect on existing or proposed public-use or military
airports or navigational facilities. Nor would the proposal affect the capacity of any known existing or planned
public-use or military airport.
Therefore, it is determined that the proposed construction would not have a substantial adverse effect on the
safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on any air navigation facility and would not
be a hazard to air navigation.

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:Building 203 Church Ave - East Corner R1
Location:College Station, TX
Latitude:30-37-03.73N NAD 83
Longitude:96-20-53.38W
Heights:344 feet site elevation (SE)
233 feet above ground level (AGL)
577 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe
and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities.
Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby determined that the structure would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s) is(are) met:
As a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 M, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights-Chapters 4,5(Red),&15.
Any failure or malfunction that lasts more than thirty (30) minutes and affects a top light or flashing obstruction
light, regardless of its position, should be reported immediately to (877) 487-6867 so a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM) can be issued. As soon as the normal operation is restored, notify the same number.
It is required that FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be e-filed any time the
project is abandoned or:
_____ At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part 1)
__X__ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part 2)
See attachment for additional condition(s) or information.
This determination expires on 05/29/2024 unless:

(a)the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b)extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c)the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is subject to review if an interested party files a petition that is received by the FAA on or
before December 29, 2022. In the event an interested party files a petition for review, it must contain a full
statement of the basis upon which the petition is made. Petitions can be submitted to the Manager of the Rules
and Regulations Group via e-mail at OEPetitions@faa.gov, via mail to Federal Aviation Administration, Air
Traffic Organization, Rules and Regulations Group, Room 425, 800 Independence Ave, SW, Washington, DC
20591, or via facsimile (202) 267-9328. FAA encourages the use of email to ensure timely processing.
This determination becomes final on January 08, 2023 unless a petition is timely filed. In which case, this
determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the
grant of any review. For any questions regarding your petition, please contact Rules and Regulations Group via
telephone – 202-267-8783.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, effective 21 Nov 2007, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including
increase to heights, power or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This
determination includes all previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or
regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and
en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact
on all existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative
impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed
Page 24 of 91
Page 3 of 9
structures. The study disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect on air
navigation.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA during the study (if any), and the
basis for the FAA's decision in this matter can be found on the following page(s).
This determination cancels and supersedes prior determinations issued for this structure.

**Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted in order to identify those

have a significant adverse effect on protected aeronautical operations and airspace. While part 77 obstruction
standards trigger formal aeronautical study, including public circularization, these obstruction standards do
not constitute absolute or arbitrary criteria for identification of hazards to air navigation. Accordingly, the fact
that a proposed structure exceeds certain obstruction standards of part 77 is in itself not sufficient grounds for
issuance of a determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was previously circularized for public comment on 09/08/2022 to 6073 email respondents with
zero response returned. The new studies were not circulated as the impact is less than the greatest impact of the
previous studies that were circulated.

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:Building 203 Church Ave - First South Corner R1
Location:College Station, TX
Latitude:30-37-03.05N NAD 83
Longitude:96-20-54.14W
Heights:343 feet site elevation (SE)
235 feet above ground level (AGL)
578 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe
and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities.
Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby determined that the structure would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s) is(are) met:
As a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 M, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights-Chapters 4,5(Red),&15.
Any failure or malfunction that lasts more than thirty (30) minutes and affects a top light or flashing obstruction
light, regardless of its position, should be reported immediately to (877) 487-6867 so a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM) can be issued. As soon as the normal operation is restored, notify the same number.
It is required that FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be e-filed any time the
project is abandoned or:
_____ At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part 1)
__X__ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part 2)
See attachment for additional condition(s) or information.
This determination expires on 05/29/2024 unless:
Page 41 of 91
Page 2 of 9
(a)the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b)extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c)the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is subject to review if an interested party files a petition that is received by the FAA on or
before December 29, 2022. In the event an interested party files a petition for review, it must contain a full
statement of the basis upon which the petition is made. Petitions can be submitted to the Manager of the Rules
and Regulations Group via e-mail at OEPetitions@faa.gov, via mail to Federal Aviation Administration, Air
Traffic Organization, Rules and Regulations Group, Room 425, 800 Independence Ave, SW, Washington, DC
20591, or via facsimile (202) 267-9328. FAA encourages the use of email to ensure timely processing.
This determination becomes final on January 08, 2023 unless a petition is timely filed. In which case, this
determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the
grant of any review. For any questions regarding your petition, please contact Rules and Regulations Group via
telephone – 202-267-8783.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, effective 21 Nov 2007, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including
increase to heights, power or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This
determination includes all previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or
regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and
en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact
on all existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative
impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed
Page 42 of 91
Page 3 of 9
structures. The study disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect on air
navigation.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA during the study (if any), and the
basis for the FAA's decision in this matter can be found on the following page(s).
This determination cancels and supersedes prior determinations issued for this structure.

Our study has disclosed that this proposed building project is composed of five studies that represent the corners
of the building, located approximately 1.90 nm northeast of the airport reference point, is within the protected
surfaces at Easterwood Field (CLL), College Station, TX. The initial five studies were circulated for public
comment and received a favorable determination on 10/26/2022. But since the coordinates were changed
and are now further away from the airport and the height of the building increased, but the site elevation was
corrected to be lower, new studies were required. For comparison purposes, both sets of studies are listed

**Part 77 obstruction standards are used to screen the many proposals submitted in order to identify those
which warrant further aeronautical study. This study is conducted in order to determine if the proposal would
have a significant adverse effect on protected aeronautical operations and airspace. While part 77 obstruction
standards trigger formal aeronautical study, including public circularization, these obstruction standards do
not constitute absolute or arbitrary criteria for identification of hazards to air navigation. Accordingly, the fact
that a proposed structure exceeds certain obstruction standards of part 77 is in itself not sufficient grounds for
issuance of a determination of hazard to air navigation.
The proposal was previously circularized for public comment on 09/08/2022 to 6073 email respondents with
zero response returned. The new studies were not circulated as the impact is less than the greatest impact of the
previous studies that were circulated.
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED
THE FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR arrival/departure routes,
operations, or procedures.
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR en route routes, operations, or
procedures.
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed IFR minimum flight altitudes.
Page 45 of 91
Page 6 of 9
AERONAUTICAL STUDY FOR POSSIBLE VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (VFR) EFFECT DISCLOSED THE
FOLLOWING:
> The proposed structure would have no effect on any existing or proposed VFR arrival or departure routes,
operations or procedures.
> The proposed structure would not conflict with airspace required to conduct normal VFR traffic pattern
operations at any known public use or military airports.
> The proposed structure would not penetrate those altitudes normally considered available to airmen for VFR
en route flight.
The cumulative impact of the proposed structure, when combined with other existing structures is not
considered significant. Study did not disclose any adverse effect on existing or proposed public-use or military
airports or navigational facilities. Nor would the proposal affect the capacity of any known existing or planned
public-use or military airport.
Therefore, it is determined that the proposed construction would not have a substantial adverse effect on the
safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on any air navigation facility and would not
be a hazard to air navigation.

Anthony,
The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) relies on the expertise of the Easterwood Airport
Management (EAM) team and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine the impacts
of height variance requests which would or could affect the airport’s operations.
At this time, the EAM team has no objections to granting a height variance, as the FAA has made
determinations that NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION is present for the building variance at 203
Church Avenue, as long as the builder complies with the conditions outlined in the FAA Letters.
In consultation with the EAM team, the TAMU System has no objections based on the
determinations made by our subject matter experts in the field, as long as the builder complies with
the conditions outlined in the FAA letters.
Thanks and should you need anything else, please feel free to contact me,
John

VARIANCE REQUEST
FOR
101 LEE AVENUE
AWV2022-000027
REQUEST:An increase to the maximum size of an accessory structure as set forth in the
Unified Development Ordinance Section 6.5.B.1 ‘Accessory Structures’
LOCATION:101 Lee Ave
Oakwood Subdivision, Block 3, Lots 1-2 & 18' of Lot 3
ZONING:GS General Suburban; (NCO) Neighborhood Conservation Overlay
PROPERTY OWNER:KERRY STEIN
APPLICANT:KERRY STEIN
PROJECT MANAGER:Gabriel Schrum, Staff Planner
gschrum@cstx.gov
BACKGROUND: The subject property is the location of a 2,078.00-sq.ft. single family home with
a 225-sq.ft. accessory cottage. The home on site is the former home of F.W.
Hensel, a prominent College Station citizen and alumnus/professor of Texas
A&M. The cottage is a campus accessory structure named "the Professor's
Cottage" that Mr. Hensel relocated to the property when the home was built in
1941. In 2020, the applicant requested and received a variance from the Zoning
Board of Adjustment to facilitate the restoration and increase in the size of the
accessory unit within the rear setback. The applicant is seeking to build an
approximately 342-sq.ft. addition to the existing cottage. With the proposed
addition, the cottage would be approximately 568 sq.ft.
An approximately 14 x 14-ft. (196 square feet) covered patio sits as an
additional accessory structure between the principal structure and the
professor’s cottage on the lot. With the current size of the cottage and the
covered patio, the combined square footage of accessory structures on the lot is
421, or 20% of the principal structure. By ordinance, the combined area of all
accessory uses is not to exceed 25% of the area of the principal structure, or a
minimum of 400 sq.ft., which in this case is 519.5 sq.ft. At the proposed size of
568 sq.ft. for the cottage, the total amount of accessory structures for the lot
Page 63 of 91
Zoning Board of Adjustment Page 2 of 5
February 7, 2023
would be 763 sq.ft or 36.7% of the size of the home on site; therefore, the
applicant is requesting a variance to the Unified Development Ordinance
Section 6.5.B ‘Accessory Structures’ to allow the total accessory structures on
the lot to exceed the 25% maximum (519.5 square feet) by allowing an
additional 243.5 sq.ft. of accessory structures, which is 36.7% of the size of the
home.
APPLICABLE
ORDINANCE SECTION: Section 6.5.B.1 ‘Accessory Structures’
ORDINANCE INTENT: UDO Section 6.5.B.4.A ‘Accessory Structures’ sets maximum square footage
requirements for Accessory Structures that limit the size and scale of accessory
living quarters to remain appropriate for single family zoning districts.
RECOMMENDATION:Staff recommends denial of the variance request.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.Frontage: The subject property has approximately 95 feet of frontage on Timber Street, 152 feet of
frontage on George Bush Drive, and 95 feet of frontage on Lee Avenue.
2.Access: The subject property is currently taking access from Timber Street.

3.Topography and vegetation: The subject property slopes four feet from the southeast corner towards the
northern corner at Timber Street. According to City estimates, the impervious cover for the entire lot does
not exceed 55%. In the future, when the landowner applies for a building permit, a more detailed calculation
will be needed showing that the maximum impervious cover limit has not been exceeded.
4.Floodplain: The subject property is not located within FEMA regulated floodplain.
REVIEW CRITERIA
According to Unified Development Ordinance Section 3.19.E ‘Criteria for Approval of Variance’, no variance shall
be granted unless the Board makes affirmative findings in regard to all nine of the following criteria:
1.Extraordinary conditions: That there are extraordinary or special conditions affecting the land involved such
that strict application of the provisions of the UDO will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his
land.
Extraordinary or special conditions do exist for this property, but they do not affect the size of the accessory
structure as it relates to the home on site. The property is uniquely surrounded by rights-of-way on three
sides and additionally has a buffer from Timber St right-of-way of five feet of reserved tract that is found
within the fenced property. These circumstances were relevant in the consideration of the previous variance
request to expand the accessory structure within the minimum rear setback. The special conditions do not
require an accessory structure to exceed the size limitations of the regulations.
The applicant has stated that the NCO overlay and the existing professor’s cottage being a historical
structure are special conditions to be considered. While the professors’ cottage is found on this unique
corner lot, there is no extraordinary condition of the land that hinders the ability to construct the accessory
structure addition within the 25% maximum.
2.Enjoyment of a substantial property right: That the variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant.
The variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property right of the
applicant. If the proposed variance is not granted, the applicant can still build an addition to their accessory
structure within the 25% threshold and follow Section 6.5.B.1 ‘Accessory Structures’ of the UDO. If the
variance is not granted, the applicant is not being denied a substantial property right of a single-family lot.
3.Substantial detriment: That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this UDO.
Granting the variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other
property in the area, or to the City in administering the UDO.
4.Subdivision: That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of
land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this UDO.
The granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of land in the area
in accordance with the provisions of the UDO. The surrounding properties are platted lots within the
Oakwood Subdivision.
5.Flood hazard protection: That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing flood
hazard protection in accordance with Article 8, Subdivision Design and Improvements.
Page 65 of 91
Zoning Board of Adjustment Page 4 of 5
February 7, 2023
The granting of this variance will not have the effect of preventing flood hazard protection in accordance
with Article 8, Subdivision Design and Improvements as the site is already developed and due to no portion
of this property being located within floodplain.
6.Other property: That these conditions do not generally apply to other property in the vicinity.
The Accessory Structure Dimensional Standards apply to all property within residential districts and are not
unique to this property. There are other lots that have accessory structures within the block that meet size
standards put forth in Section 6.5.B.1 ‘Accessory Structures’.
7. Hardships: That the hardship is not the result of the applicant’s own actions.
A hardship has occurred based upon the applicant’s own actions and does not occur due to an extraordinary
condition of the land. The applicant is seeking to build to 36.7% of the total principal structure compared to
25% permitted by Section 6.5.B.1 ‘Accessory Structures’. The addition could be redesigned to meet
standards without a variance.
8.Comprehensive Plan: That the granting of the variance would not substantially conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this UDO.
While the granting of this variance does not substantially conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, variances
that increase the allowable size of accessory structures do adversely affect the physical character of the area
and would be generally inconsistent with the purposes and intent of the UDO.
9.Utilization: That because of these conditions, the application of the UDO to the particular piece of property
would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the utilization of the property.
The application of the UDO standards to this particular property does not restrict the applicant in the
utilization of their property. The applicant is still able to utilize their property as a single-family lot and build
an addition to their accessory structure while still being within the maximum allotted accessory structure
size.
ALTERNATIVES
The applicant is proposing to add an approximately 342-sq.ft. addition to the existing cottage. The applicant has
provided alternatives of altering the original home to build an addition to the main home to allow for this
desired accessory building addition. Alternatively, the applicant could reduce the square footage of the addition
to their accessory structure so that it could fall within the 25% requirement (519.5 sq.ft.) put forth in Section
6.5.B.1 ‘Accessory Structures’ of the UDO. The applicant has also mentioned removing the covered patio, which
would allow a larger addition to the cottage than is currently possible, but a variance would still be necessary to
build to the desired size.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The applicant is seeking a variance to the maximum accessory structure size of 25% of the principal structure as
set forth in Section 6.5.B.1 ‘Accessory Structures’. Due to the lack of meeting all of the required criteria
provided above, including lack of a special condition on the property that necessitates a variance to allow for a
larger accessory structure and the fact that there is no denial of a substantial property right, Staff recommends
denial of the variance request.

Applicant: KERRY STEIN
Property Owner: STEIN KERRY W & ANGELA M
Applicable ordinance section being appealed/seeking waiver from:
Appendix A - Article 6- Section 6.5
The following specific variation to the ordinance is requested:
Increase the size restriction for the accessory building from 25% to 27.5%. This percentage is in relation the
principal residence.
The unnecessary hardship(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial
hardship is/are:
1) The Hensel house does not offer a viable location to build the desired addition without radically altering the
look and character of the original home. This is due to the existing floor plan, roof structure, and the location
of the home on the lot.
2) The principal structure has historical significance to the city of College Station. The owners do not want to
make any material alterations to the home.
3) The lot borders 3 streets (a highly unusual configuration) including George Bush Dr. Any construction along
that side of the lot would have an adverse effect on the historical character of the residence.
APPEAL/WAIVER APPLICATION
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
The following special condition exists:
1) The property includes two historic structures: The principal residence is the former home of F.W. Hensel, a
prominent College Station citizen and outstanding alumnus/professor of Texas A&M. Also located on the lot
is "the Professor's Cottage" that Mr. Hensel relocated to the property from campus when the home was built in
1941.
2) The property meets the standards for designation of a historical overlay
Page 1 of 2
Page 71 of 91
The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible:
1) Radically alter the original home or raze/rebuild the house. (i.e., abandon the preservation goal)
2) Build a 200 square foot addition to the main home, so that the desired addition to the accessory building
would then be conforming.
The variance will not be contrary to public interest due to:
1) This variance would facilitate the preservation of an important piece of early College Station heritage.
2) The variance would have no adverse visual or mechanical or natural impact on the neighbors or on the
community.
3) The proposed accessory building would be smaller than an allowable garage. Thus, it cannot be
considered out of scale or in any other way a violation of the intent and purpose of UDO 6.5
4) As the property is in a very visible location, these public interests are magnified. It would be a shame to
alter Mr. Hensel¶s original home instead of the proposed accessory addition.

REQUEST:A 15-foot reduction to the minimum 15-foot rear setback for an accessory
structure as set forth in the Unified Development Ordinance Section 6.5.B.5.a
‘Accessory Structures’
LOCATION:200 Suffolk Ave

PROPERTY OWNER:Gaines & Susan West
APPLICANT:Mitchell & Morgan, LLP C/O Veronica Morgan
PROJECT MANAGER:Gabriel Schrum, Staff Planner
gschrum@cstx.gov
BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking a variance to reduce the rear setback of the property by
15 feet per the requirements of Section 6.5.B.5.a ‘Accessory Structures’, which
states that the minimum rear setback for accessory structures is 15 feet. Any
portable building or structure that the Building Official has determined does not
require a building permit may be located within building setbacks. An accessory
structure that does not require a building permit is generally under 120 sq.ft. in
area, is not permanently affixed to the ground, and does not have utilities.
The applicant has an existing shed on the property line that has not needed a
building permit to this point. The property owner would like to now run utilities
to the structure to transform it into a changing room with a shower, which will
then require a building permit and thus the need for it to meet the setback
requirements. The applicant would like to keep the structure in its existing
location on the property line; therefore the applicant is requesting a 15-ft.
variance to the rear setback of an accessory structure.

population density, access to light and air, and fire protection. These standards
are typically justified on the basis of the protection of property values.

REVIEW CRITERIA
According to Unified Development Ordinance Section 3.19.E ‘Criteria for Approval of Variance’, no variance shall
be granted unless the Board makes affirmative findings in regard to all nine of the following criteria:
1.Extraordinary conditions: That there are extraordinary or special conditions affecting the land involved such
that strict application of the provisions of the UDO will deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his
land.
The subject property is one of the largest residential lots on the block. It has very little street frontage but
much of its yard can be seen from Suffolk Ave. While these are special conditions of the land, they do not
deprive the applicant a reasonable use of the land. The applicant has stated that the unique configuration
of the lot and location of utility lines does not provide many suitable locations for the end use of the
accessory structure. The sizeable lot has few encumbrances that would hinder the relocation of the
accessory structure. The applicant does mention utilities, but the location and proximity of public
infrastructure lines do not impede a relocation of the shed to other locations on the property outside of
minimum setbacks.
2.Enjoyment of a substantial property right: That the variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant.
The variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property right of the
applicant. If the proposed variance is not granted, utilities may not be extended to the structure but the
applicant can still utilize the existing shed as is, or the applicant may move the structure to a conforming
location. If the variance is not granted, the applicant is not being denied a substantial property right of a
single-family lot.
3.Substantial detriment: That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this UDO.
Granting the variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other
property in the area, or to the City in administering the UDO. The property line that the shed abuts is shared
with St. Thomas Episcopal Church. The applicant has provided a letter indicating that the church has no
objection to the variance request.
4.Subdivision: That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of
land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this UDO.
The granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of land in the area
in accordance with the provisions of the UDO. The surrounding properties are platted lots.
5.Flood hazard protection: That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing flood
hazard protection in accordance with Article 8, Subdivision Design and Improvements.
The granting of this variance will not have the effect of preventing flood hazard protection in accordance
with Article 8, Subdivision Design and Improvements as the site is already developed and due to no portion
of this property being located within floodplain.
6.Other property: That these conditions do not generally apply to other property in the vicinity.
Page 83 of 91
Zoning Board of Adjustment Page 4 of 4
February 7, 2023
The Accessory Structure dimensional standards apply to all property within residential districts and are not
unique to this property. The subject property is the second largest lot on the block, and due to its larger size
affords more room to locate an accessory building that meets the district standards compared to other
smaller lots.
7. Hardships: That the hardship is not the result of the applicant’s own actions.
There is not a hardship that has occurred due to an extraordinary condition of the land—the hardship has
occurred based upon the applicant’s own actions. The applicant is seeking to extend utilities to the existing
shed that is currently conforming to setback requirements. The applicants’ desire to upgrade the shed with
utilities causes the need to move the structure out of the accessory structure setback.
8.Comprehensive Plan: That the granting of the variance would not substantially conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this UDO.
The granting of this variance does not substantially conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and with the
purposes of the UDO.
9.Utilization: That because of these conditions, the application of the UDO to the particular piece of property
would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the utilization of the property.
The application of the UDO standards to this particular property does not restrict the applicant in the
utilization of their property. The applicant is still able to utilize their property as a single-family lot and
utilize the existing shed.
ALTERNATIVES
The alternative provided by the applicant would be to keep the shed in the same location and not have utilities
be extended to the building. The applicant could also move the shed outside of the setback or to a different
conforming location on the lot to allow for the desired use.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The applicant is seeking a variance of 15 feet to the minimum 15-foot rear setback for an accessory structure per
Section 6.5.B.5.a ‘Accessory Structures’. Due to the lack of meeting all the required criteria, including the lack of
an extraordinary condition that is denying the owners a substantial property right, Staff recommends denial of
the variance request.

Applicable ordinance section being appealed/seeking waiver from:
UDO Section 5.2 ±Residential Dimensional Standards
The following specific variation to the ordinance is requested:
We request to reduce the rear setback to ¶for the existing shed so that it may serve as an accessory structure
with utilities. The shed was placed on the property 10 years ago as a storage structure. The storage shed did
not need a building permit as it is well below the 150-sf threshold and did not have utilities extended. With the
addition of the pool, there is an opportunity for the structure to serve as a changing room with an outdoor
shower head. Without utilities, the shed may remain in its current location. We are requesting the variance so
that utilities may be extended to the existing structure.
The unnecessary hardship(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial
hardship is/are:
The purpose of the structure will be to offer a privacy space to the residents and guests of the residence. The
structure is discreetly located along the rear property line. Relocating the building to meet the rear setback
would disrupt the aesthetic value of the rear yard as well as from the Suffolk Avenue right of way, as much of
the yard is visible from the street, due to the configuration of the lot.
The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible:
Alternatively, the shed will remain in the existing location and will not have utilities extended to the building.
APPEAL/WAIVER APPLICATION
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
The following special condition exists:
The configuration of the lot and the location of the existing utility lines on the lot does not present many
suitable alternative locations for the privacy room. The existing placement of the shed along the rear property
line is the ideal location for the structure.
Page 1 of 2
Page 88 of 91
The variance will not be contrary to public interest due to:
The shed has been located in this spot for the past 10 years. The structure cannot be expanded, nor is there
room to make this any kind of living space. This property shares a rear property line with St. Thomas
Episcopal church and representatives have expressed support of the variance.
