Re: Structure Encroachment Over Building Setback Line
Lot 7, Block 17, Glen Meadows, Section Two (2)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
You have advised that the dwelling constructed on the referenced
lot encroaches into the minimum setback line for such lot, and
you have requested a variance from the Committee to allow such
encroachment to continue to exist.
As duly appointed representative of the Architectural Control
Committee for Glen Headows, Section Two, I make no objection
to such encroachment.
By not objecting, the Committee specifically disclaims any
responsibility to defend u. S. Home Corporation in the event
litigation is instituted by third parties as a result of such
encroachment, such defense to be at the sole expense of u. S.
Home Corporation.
Signed this 9th day of October, 1981.

Re: Zoning Board of Adjustment
Article 1011g of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas provides
that the Board of Adjustment is to have the following powers:
1. To hear and decide appeals from a decision or deter-
mination made by an administrative official.
2. To hear and decide special exceptions.
3. To authorize variances upon appeal from an action of
a city official.
The state statutes also impose various requirements for the ad-
ministration of the Board of Adjustment as follows:
1. The Board is to consist of five members and four alternate
members. The attendance of alternate members is necessary
only if requested by the City Manager, to fill the place of
absent meIT'bers.
2. At least four members (or alternate members) must be present
before any decision can be made.
3. The chairman of the Board has the power to subpoena witnesses,
where needed.
4. All meetings must be open to the public.
5. The minutes of the proceedings of the Board must indicate how
each member voted on each matter.
6. All records of the Board are public records.
7. Appeals from action of a City official must be taken "within
reasonable time". The Board should establish rules for this
procedure and for the amount of time it considers to be rea-
sonable.

8. When someone appeals an action of a City official, the
action will not be enforced until the appeal is heard,
unless the City official shows that such would cause
imminent peril to life or property.
9. When an appeal is requested, the Board will set a time
for the hearing, give public notice and specific notice to
each of the parties. A party may be represented by an at-
torney if he wishes.
10. In its action on an appeal, the Board may uphold the City
official's decision or reverse it or make any modifications
it chooses.
11. It takes four votes to over-rule the decision of the City
official, or to grant a variance or special exception.
12. If the person is still not satisfied after the decision of
the Board, he must then take it to court, not to the City
Council. The petition must be filed with the court within
ten days after the decision of the board.
Please note the following definitions:
1. Special exception - The zoning ordinance can have areas which
allow for specific named exceptions from the ordinance where
approval is obtained. The applicant does not have to show
hardship.
2. Variance - An actual change in the provisions of the zoning
ordinance as it relates to a particular situation. No pro-
vision was made for such a change in the ordinance. The
applicant must show that:
a. There are special circumstances
b. Unnecessary hardship would result
c. The variance is not contrary to the public interest
d. The variance is within the general spirit of the
ordinance.
