Zoning Board of Adjustment December 4, 2003 #V 03-005 Page 3. of 3 Conclusion: While the applicant's variance request does not appear to be contrary to the general public, the Board must determine if the granting of the variance would meet the spirit of the law and whether a ".physical hardship" unique to that property has been established by the applicant. Recommendation: Since Staffs responsibility is to enforce applicable city codes and ordinances, the applicant's proposal conflicts with zoning regulations and it is Staffs opinion that the applicant only meets two out of the three requirements so our recommendation would be to deny the request. As part of its decision, the Board must consider both issues (the over -sized structure itself and the required placement behind the primary structure) noted in this report. Appeals: 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. C.A., Local Government Code Section 211.011, duly verified, setting forth that such decision is illegal, in whole or in part, specking the grounds of the illegality. Such petition shall be presented to the court within ten days after the filing of the decision in the office of the Board ofAdjustrrient.
