Box 1218, Countersigned at La Porte, Texas 77571 CITY OF LA PORTE • ~ INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM T0: Mayor & City Council DATE: Sept. 9, 1980 FROM: Planning & Zoning Commission • SUBJECT: Variance to place mobile home in R-1 district - • Joe Milton Smith Mr. Joe Milton Smith appeared before Planning and Zoning on September 8, 1980•with a request that he be allowed to place a mobile home on a 1.185 acre tract which he owns in the Lomax Addition. The property is located on Avenue H and backs up to airport property. Mr. Smith indicated that he had spoken to the neighboring property owners, and~had received no ob- jections. Other mobile homes are located on the sparsely settled street, which is in• the R-1 district. Mr. Smith also stated that he could not afford to purchase a conventional home. Discussion of•the matter included favorable comments by two of the Planning and Zoning members who live in the subject neighborhood. Their position was that the placement of the • mobile home would not be a detriment to that particular neigh- borhood. Planning and Zoning voted unanimously to recommend that the variance be granted. Respectfully, Pat Muston, Chairman • Page 1B r • September 9, 19F30 ::on. :Mayor and City Council City of La Porte P.O. Bo:: 1115 La ?ogle, Texas 77571 • Re: Recommendation by Planning and Zoning Commission to allow a mobil home to~be placed in 1~-1 district of Lomax Addition. Gentlemen: I personally :vish to urge City Council to carefully consider the above request. I feel such allowance ~~rould set a prece- _ dent ~•rhich could create havoc in the development of a ~vell- planned city. i•Zany other requests for such a variance would surely follow, and once the first is allo:ved, hot~~~ can others be refused? Soon our R-1 districts which are not in subdivi- • sions will be dotted ~~rith mobil homes. It is my opinion that such housing is economically necessary, but provisions should be made in an orderly manner. Certain areas could be designated for such use by follo~•ring the pro- per procedures, including public hearings and re-coning for that specific use. I~Iy desire is for the City of La Porte to maintain orderly growth, while providing housing opportunities for all. This letter contains my personal opinion, and is entirely separate from the recommendation made by the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of La Porte. Res?ectfully, ~ ,~~ Pat . iUSton 112 Gari'ield La Porte, Texas 77571 • Page 2B
