THIRD • LA FORTE, TEXAS, 77571 PHOI~lES: (713) 471-7272 471-7273 June 25, 1981 Betty Waters -City Secretary • City of La Porte City Hall La Porte, Texas 77571 Attn. Ms . Waters Ref. Request for hearing before the Planning and Zoning Committee for variance on parking facilities as required for building permit at Swann Technical Service Inc. 125 South Third Street La Porte, Texas 77571 . Dear M s . Waters , The nature of our business is Engineering Design and Drafting of Petro-Chemical Plants. Our existing office space accommodates four (4) administrative people full-time with six (6) people that go out on assignments to various plants . Our present parking facilities will accommodate twelve (12) full size cars. The proposed new office space would accommodate eight (8) new-people that would have four (4) people going to plants and four (4) people full-time in-house. • Consquently, the four (4) people full-time in the present existing build- ing and the proposed four (4) full-time people in the new addition, would only be eight (8) people parking full-time during the working day. This would leave four (4) un-used parking spaces for the sporadic coming and going of plant personnel if it should occur. The layout of our existing office is of such a nature that our reception area, conference room, office supply storage room, and coffee bar take up half of the floor space. One fourth of the other floor space is consumed by reference tables, drafting tables, file cabinets, blueprint machines, and storage. It was pointed out to me that the new building code requires one park- . ing space per 200 sq.ft. of office space. I feel that a variance is in order due to our existing buildings square footage usable space is of a different nature and our premise habitation during working hours is an exception to the rule Sincerely Encl.
