Harris Survey, Abstra <br />Porte, Harris County, Texas. The applicants seek to allow construction of a one car garage for <br />a single family dwelling, contrary to the provisions of Section 106-834 (f) of the Code of <br />Ordinances. The variance is being sought under the terms of Sec-192 (b) (2) (b) of the <br />Citys Code of Ordinances. <br /> <br />A.Staff Presentation <br /> <br />City Planner Masood Malik presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Public hearing notices were mailed to 26 property owners within 200 of the subject <br />property. The City received one (1) response in favor of the request and three (3) opposed. <br /> <br />B.Proponents <br /> <br />The applicant, Walt Saldivar of 3115 Bayou Drive, was sworn in by Chairman Maltsberger. <br />Mr. Saldivar requested a variance for a one-car garage because at the time he purchased the <br />4,000 SF lot, he was unaware of the code requirement for a two-car garage. Mr. Saldivar <br />stated there are no other homes on the street with garages, one or two-car, so a one-car <br />garage would not seem unusual. He noted the house he plans to build has been designed to <br />meet all other City requirements. <br /> <br /> <br />
