Board of Adjustment February 23, 2006 #SE 06-001 Page 3 Conclusion: Appeals: . To deviate from the minimum lot size or width requirements in the large lot district. Given that there are several economic and infrastructure issues associated with the proposed changes as approved for rural Large Lot district. The applicant cited some personal reasons for this particular request. Provisions of Section 106-191 provide the flexibility/ relief for these development challenges. The parameters for the requested special exception may meet the provisions established by Section 106-191 of the Code of Ordinances. After review of Section 106-191 b (4), this Special Exception would not be contrary to the public's interest and will not adversely affect the value or use of adjacent properties. A subdivision of this nature would not resemble a conventional subdivision plat due to the fact that it forms only two lots, one additional residence, and stays within the spirit of the Large Lot District. The application merits review by the Board based upon the parameters set by the Ordinance. The Board may consider: ~ Approving Special Exception and allowing the subdivision of property as follows: a) lot with existing house to be 0.5 acre with 140' width, and b) lot for future home to be 1.35 acres with only 48' width. ~ Denying Special Exception and allow the provision of Section 106- 416(a)(b) to remain in place. As per Section 106-196 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of La Porte: Any person or persons, jointly or severally, aggrieved by any decision of the Board of Adjustment, or any taxpayer, or any officer, department, board or bureau of the city may present to a court of record a petition for a writ of certiorari, as provided by V T CA., Local Government Code Section 211.011, duly verified, settingforth that such decision is illegal, in whole or in part, specifYing the grounds of the illegality.
