AGENDA ITEM N0.4: Public hearing, presentation and possible action on a setback variance at 822 Nimitz, lot 9, block 6, D. S. Smith Subdivision. Applicant is the City of College Station Community Development Office. (03-17 JR). Staff Planner Reeves stepped before the Board and gave a brief synopsis of the case. This case was originally heard February 4 of this year. Due to the Board having just enough for a quorum the applicant needed a unanimous vote. The motion to approve the variance failed. On March 4`~' the applicant came back before the Boazd to be considered for a rehear and the motion passed. The applicant is requesting a 17.5 feet encroachment into the 25-foot rear setback. Ms. Reeves ended her staff report by telling the Board that the Lincoln Square Apartments across the street sent in letter of concern. Their concern as stated is that adequate parking is provided for the new home. Chairman Hill opened the public hearing. • ZBA Minutes April 1, 2003 Page 1 of 2 Randy Brumley from the Community Development Office stepped before the Board and was sworn in by Chairman Hill. Mr. Brumley spoke in favor of the variance. Chairman Hill asked if there would be adequate parking for the new home. Mr. Brumley replied that • there would be parking for 2 vehicles. With no on stepping forward to speak in opposition of the request, Chairman Hill closed the public hearing. Mr. Richards made the motion to authorize a variance to the minimum setback from the terms of this ordinance as it will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the following special conditions: this non-conforming lot was platted prior the 1970 when. current ordinances began to take effect and limits building any replacement building due to existing lot size. Adjacent lots have previously been granted setback variances in the past for the same reason; and because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship to this applicant being: without a variance the lot is unbuildable for use as a family unit and too small lot size of only 2508 square feet; and such that the spirit of this ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice is done. Mr. Sheffy seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-U). AGENDA ITEM NO. S: Public hearing, presentation and possible action on a setback variance at 100 Lee Avenue, lots 1, 2, 3 & portion of lot 4, block 2, South Oakwood Subdivision. Applicant is William W. Botts. (03-04 JR). The applicant pulled this item from the agenda so a full voting Board could consider the case.
