• Board of Adjustments Minutes of 11-30-89 Page 2 of 3 The Bayshore Elementary school is located on a corner lot. A Special Exception shall be granted only when the Board finds that such Special Exception will not affect the value and use of adjacent or neighboring properties or be contrary to the best public interest. The proposed addition will primarily affect one homesite. Since the rear wall of the addition will be located fairly close to the rear property line of this home, the School District has agreed to meet the following conditions: (1) The 12.8 foot setback area is to be fenced with gates on the east and west ends; (2) This fenced area is to be landscaped to make it as visually attractive as possible. The landscape plan is to be approved by the Director of Community Development; -~ - (3) Drainage will, by means of underground culvert, be channelled away from neighboring residential homesites; (4) The School District will, if requested by the neighboring • property owner, install security lighting to illuminate the fenced area and adjoining residential rear yard. This request meets ordinance prerequisites regarding exceptions to corner lot setbacks. It is therefore eligible to be considered for the requested Special Exception to allow a rear setback of 12.8 feet. It must, however,. be determined by the Board whether or not the measures proposed by the School District are adequate to prevent adverse affect to "the value and use of adjacent or neighboring property". Mr. Hines asked Mr. Albrecht if the home owner that is being affected by this addition had any comments on this matter. Mr. Albrecht told him that Mr. Cook has had considerable input in this matter and the additional conditions that were put into the Special Conditional Use permit were the results from meetings with the homeowner and the School District. Mrs. Bernay swore Mr: Hayes in at this point for his testimony to the Board of Adjustments. Mr. Hayes told the Board about the proposed addition and the items that the School District and the property owner (Mr. Cook) had agreed to. Mr. Hayes stated that a letter is forthcoming to Mr. Cook, with copies coming to the La Porte and Shoreacres City Council, outlining our commitments to the property owner. C:
