City Secretary City of La Porte, Texas Publish: 1980 1980 CJ July 8, 1880 To: Mayor and City Commissioners From: Planning & Soning Commission Subject: Request for variance to build carport 312 San Jacinto--Andres Trevino (Lots 11 & 12, Block 21g) P~Rr. & Mrs Andres Trevino appeared before the P. & Z. Commission on July 7, with a request for a variance to build a carport at their home at 312 San Jacinto. Their home is so situated that there is no access to the back yard by vehicles. They own two late model automobiles which must be parked under overhanging branches of the neighbor's pecan trees. In considering the request, Planning.&:Zoning took into consideration the 100 foot right-of-way existing on San Jacinto. This wide right-of-way would provide ample space between the house and street, even though the carport would be within 5 feet of the front property line. We request a public hearing on this request for variance and provided that it is not objectionable to neighboring property owners, recommend that the variance be granted.

Paulissen City Inspector • • ,Q'lv • • , July 8, 1980 T0: ^dayor & City Commission FROi~t: Planning & Zoning Commission SUBJECT: Request for variance on front building line on Lots 5 & 6, Block 7, Sylvan Beach Addition, David R. Tutt. Planning and Zoning Commission met July 7 to consider a request for a variance on the front building line on property owned by Mr. Robert E. Tutt. Mr. Tutt's son, David Tutt, was in attendance. ~ ~ -- - ~ - - - - - - - --- - - - The rear of the subject property abuts city owned right- of-way for Cedar Lane. Cedar Lane is non-existent, and the waters from Little Cedar_Bayou have eroded the bank and claimed much of the city owned property. Mr. Tutt wishes to construct a home on his property which will be as far away as possible from the damaging effects of erosion and the dangers of flooding presented by Little • Cedar Bayou. The other homes on that block (except for one) are all within about 9 feet of the property line. Mr. Tutt wisrles to place the new home in line with three existing homes on adjacent properties. Planning & Zoning considers that such palcement would not be detrimental to that particlular pocket neighborhood, and would in fact be consistent with existin; homes. Planning & Zoning requests a public hearing to consider Mr. Tutt's request for variance. Isle recommend approval of such request.
