<br />,.,. <br />..' :;:, <br /> <br />Board of Adjustment <br />c/o City Secretary <br />P.O. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br /> <br />Application for variance to zoning ordinance regarding section <br />12-201 article 13. <br /> <br />In answer to Mr. Paulissen's interpretation of ordance <br />I respectfully summit the following; <br /> <br />I own lots seven and eight of Bayshore Block Bayshore Park <br />subdivision. This was established as co~~ercial property <br />before zoning went into effect. <br /> <br />Enclosed you will find a drawing of our fenced pasture area <br />(which I recently replaced and repaired) and an-:. existing horse <br />stall (built with city permit in 1959). I kept one or two hors~ <br />in this area daily from 1959 through 1970. After ~ 'S' <br />one horse in the stall off and on during summers, on weekends, and <br />holidays. <br /> <br />In 1985 my daughter and I were both widowed. We have determined <br />that the easiest way for us to exist is to live together. Since <br />my grand children aged four and seven, have a pony, we need to <br />use the horse stall. It would be a severe hardship on us not to <br />be allowed to use this existing stable. All neighbor's houses <br />are located well over 100 feet away frOM the area so that the pony <br />will not be near anyone's home. We own the two lots directly <br />across the street. We have made every effort to make the area <br />attractive and invisible frOM the road by replacing old fence <br />with a wood privacy fence. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Imogen B.
