T.E. Baker & Sons, Inc., Owners R-1 Low Density Residential The applicant is seeking a Special Exception to allow an already constructed garage, which extends two (2) feet into a utility easement, to remain in place. T.E. Baker & Sons, Inc., the applicant, has constructed a new home with a detached garage which is located at 915 Oak Leaf. The home, which is presently owned by the company, was constructed for sale. This property was surveyed prior to construction beginning and the surveyor set reference markers on the lot. Due to what was apparently a measurement error by the form setters, the house and garage were placed two (2) feet closer to the rear of the property than had been intended. The error was not discovered until after construction was completed. As a result of this error, one comer of the detached garage extends two (2) feet onto a utility easement located at the rear of the property adjacent to Taylor Bayou. Zoning Ordinance Section 10-300.2 allows detached accessory buildings, such as this garage, to abut but not encroach into a utility easement. The two (2) feet of encroachment in this case places this property in violation of City Ordinance. It will also make it impossible for a prospective buyer to obtain a loan for purchase of the house. There are three (3) possible methods to resolve this problem. The first would be to demolish the garage and slab so it could be relocated.
