<br />Zoning Board of Adjustment <br />Minutes of February 23, 2006 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Chairman Grant swore in Adam Wilkes, 10501 Eagle Fort Ct., son-in-law of Ms. Periou, who <br />spoke in favor of the exception. A second driveway is in place that could serve development <br />to the back of the property. Dividing the property down the middle with both lots fronting N. <br />"P" St. would not be feasible. <br /> <br />Lori Druckenbolt, previously sworn in, inquired about the requirements for subdivision in the <br />Large Lot District. <br /> <br />Mr. Spiller, previously sworn in, inquired about access and rights-of-entry. <br /> <br />C. OPPONENTS <br /> <br />There were none. <br /> <br />Motion by Rod Rothermel to approve Special Exception #06-001, to allow the applicant to proceed <br />with a proposed subdivision for a single family residence with the condition that the subject property <br />of 1.86 acres at 11318 N. "P" Street be divided evenly with each lot having a minimum of 94 feet of <br />frontage along the public roadway. Second by Lawrence McNeal. The motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />Ayes: Sidney Grant, Bob Capen, Rod Rothermel, Charles Schoppe, and Lawrence <br />McNeal (Alt. No.1) <br /> <br />Nays: <br />Abstain: <br /> <br />Assistant City Attorney, Clark Askins, read aloud from Section 106-196 of the Code of <br />Ordinances, which addresses Appeals. <br /> <br />6. CONSIDER VARIANCE REQUEST #V06-001 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE <br />NORTHEAST CORNER OF SENS ROAD AND NORTH 'L' STREET, FURTHER DESCRIBED <br />BY THE HARRIS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT AS TRS 5, 5A-1, 5F. AND 10 IN THE <br />ENOCH BRINSON SURVEY, ABSTRACT 5, LA PORTE, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS. THE <br />APPLICANTS, DUDLEY MASTERSON AND LARRY HOGAN, SEEK A VARIANCE TO <br />REDUCE THE STANDARD BUILDING SETBACKS WITHIN THE BUSINESS INDUSTRIAL (BI) <br />ZONING DISTRICT TO DEVELOP AN ENGINEERING OFFICE AND SHOP. THIS VARIANCE <br />IS BEING SOUGHT UNDER THE TERMS OF SECTION 106-192 (B)(2) OF THE CITY'S CODE <br />OF ORDINANCES. <br /> <br />A. STAFF PRESENTATION <br /> <br />Mr. Malik presented Staffs Report. The applicants, Dudley Masterson and Larry Hogan, <br />have requested a variance to allow reduced front, rear, and side yard setbacks to develop an <br />engineering office/shop at 1827 Sens Rd. The subject property will be reduced from 160 feet <br />deep to 122 feet deep, once Harris County completes acquisition of right-of-way for the <br />widening of Sens Rd. Additionally, a ditch along the southern property line encroaches 19 <br />feet into the applicants' property. <br /> <br />Thirteen property owners within 200 feet of the subject tract were sent notification of the <br />public hearing. Two responses were received favoring the variance, one opposed, and two <br />were returned undeliverable. <br /> <br />B. PROPONENTS <br /> <br />Chairman Grant swore in Larry Hogan, 8602 Spencer Hwy., owner of H & M Design. After <br />learning how much land he was losing to the Sens Rd. widening, Mr. Hogan had to change <br />the layout of his buildings, at a greater expense to him. He may have an opportunity to <br />
