<br />Zoning Board of Adjustment <br />April 27, 2006 <br />#V 06-002 <br />Page 3 of3 <br /> <br />While the reasons for the variance relating to the size of the building do not strictly <br />conform to "physical hardship relating to the property itself' the building's intended use <br />to store multiple vehicles and ample storage space on the second floor may be taken into <br />consideration when rendering a decision. <br /> <br />While recognizing the circumstances associated with the property, the Board could <br />consider: <br /> <br />. Allowing the building to be 25' in height, in excess of the 20' allowed by <br />ordinance, permit new structure to have 1,435 sq.ft. to accommodate intended <br />private storage of cars with ample storage on second floor, and allow a 41' <br />driveway to service car garage (variance granted). <br /> <br />. Disapprove additional height of the detached garage, floor area in excess of <br />1,000 sq.ft., and keep maximum driveway width 25' as permitted in residential <br />districts (variance denied). <br /> <br />Appeals: <br /> <br />As per Section 106-196 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of La Porte: <br />Any person or persons, jointly or severally, aggrieved by any decision of the Board of <br />Acijustment, or any taxpayer, or any officer, department, board or bureau of the city may <br />present to a court of record a petition for a writ of certiorari, as provided by V.T.C.A., <br />Local Government Code Section 211.011, duly verified, setting forth that such decision is <br />illegal, in whole or in part, specifying the grounds of the illegality.
