The property <br />contains a residence, livestock tumout paddocks and two barns: (1) on the cast side of the property and (1) on the <br />west side of the property. <br /> <br />Additionally, owners Robert and Lori Dmckenbrodt maintain an unlimited term Lease on the adjacent pipeline <br />corridor located on the west side of the property from N.

A copy of this Lease is attached. <br /> <br />TYPE OF RELIEF BEING SOUGHT: <br /> <br />Owners along with their 13 year old daughter raise and show Golden Retrievers. We are seeking permission for a <br />variance which would allow us to modifY the bam on the west side of the property to accommodate owners an <br />additional number of privately owned Golden RetrieVers to be housed for training and show. In this request, we are <br />asking that we be awarded a variance extending the property line on the west side of the property to include the <br />pipeline corridor property which is approximately an additional 500 feet wide added to the west of our property line. <br />In this modification, we would be erecting outdoor kennel runs onto our existing barn to provide shetter, in addition <br />to an exercise area for the dogs. <br /> <br />GROUNDS FOR THE REOUEST: <br /> <br />The fact that owners maintain and have right of control over the total amount of 19 acres in La Porte, of which the <br />residence property is approximately 225 feet wide x 900 feet in depth and the pipeline corridor is approximately 450 <br />feet wide x 1800 feet in depth, owners are requesting that their property line be extended to include .the additional <br />width of the pipeline corridor (approximately 450 feet) which would then allow them to qualify for a Kennel <br />License according to Zoning Code 8-106.743. Due to the fact that owners maintain a total of 19 acres. Harris <br />County Appraisal District previously awarded owners an Ag Exemption applied to 4 of the 5 residence acres. for <br />agriculture grazing. Additionally, this has been acknowledged by the City of La Porte by way of the reduction in <br />property taxes assessed on 4 of the 5 acres. Therefore, both Harris County and The City of La Porte acknowledge <br />the total of 19 acres in the custody and control of owners. <br /> <br />Granting of this variance will cause no problems or nuisance issues for any property located to the west of owners <br />property as the contested property distance on the west side of our proposed kermellocation is approximately 550 <br />feet to the nearest private property line. <br /> <br />We appreciate yom taldng your time and your consideration in this request and we look forward to hearing back <br />from you in the very near future. <br /> <br />Robert and Lori Druckcnbrodt <br />11315 N.
