Baclmround:
Mark and Yvonne Fisher, property owners
Block 11; Lot 9; Fairmont Park East, Section 2
10926 Mesquite Drive
Low-Density Residential (R -1 )
The applicants, Mark and Yvonne Fisher, are requesting approval to
construct a swimming pool at 10926 Mesquite Drive in Fairmont Park East,
Section 2. The Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) record shows that
the house was built in 1984, with 6,900 square feet ofland area and 1,861
square feet of total living area. Lot dimensions are North 60', South 60',
East 116', and West 116' with 16' wide utility easement in the rear. In
addition, there is a 120' wide RC.F.C.D. drainage channel to the south of
the subject lot.
The applicants approached the City for a building permit to construct a
swimming pool in the back yard. The design of the swimming pool, as
proposed by Blue Haven Pools, is in compliance with applicable City
ordinance requirements, but would need to be constructed a maximum of 8'
wide to avoid interfering with required setbacks from the house and utility
easement. As per ordinance, a minimum of 3' setback from 16' utility
easement in the rear yard and 6' setback from the primary structure are
required in order to build a swimming pool. The applicants contend that an
8' wide pool is not feasible. Therefore, they are asking the Board consider
granting a variance for constructing a pool with 4'setback from the house
and none from a utility easement in the rear to accommodate a desired layout
of the swimming pool. This will yield the pool to be at least 13' wide (see
layout attached). The plan, however, meets a 5' setback from either side of
the property lines.
Per Section 106-748 of the Code of Ordinances, minimum setbacks for a
swimming pool are as follows:
.
Measuring from the water's edge of the pool, a 6' setback from any
adjacent structure is needed.
Measuring from the water's edge of the pool, a 3' setback from a utility
easement is needed.
Measuring from the water's edge of the pool, a 5' setback from the side
property lines is needed.

Analvsis:
The pool as desired would not comply with the Code of Ordinances with
reduced setbacks from the primary structure and utility easement in the rear
yard until a variance is granted. As per proposed layout, only a portion of
the pool and deck fall into the required setback from the house and abuts
the utility easement in the rear yard. As previously stated, side yard setback
would be in compliance with the ordinance.
The applicants are requesting a variance as follows.
o Allow a portion of the pool and deck to be located off 4' from the house
(a relief of 2 'setback).
o Allow the pool to be located abutting a utility easement in the rear yard
(a relief of 3' setback).
The Code of Ordinances defines a variance as a deviation from the literal
provisions of the chapter which is granted by the Board when strict
conformity to the zoning ordinance would cause an unnecessary hardship
because of the circumstances unique to the property on which the variance is
granted.
Except as otherwise prohibited, the Board is empowered to authorize a
variance from a requirement when the board finds that all of the following
conditions have been met.
a) That the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the public
interest;
b) That literal enforcement of the chapter will result in unnecessary
hardship because of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, shape,
topography or other extraordinary or exceptional physical situation
unique to the specific piece of property in question. "Unnecessary
hardship" shall mean physical hardship relating to the property itself as
distinguished from a hardship relating to convenience, financial
considerations or caprice, and the hardship must not result from the
applicant or property owner's own actions; and
c) That by granting the variance, the spirit of the chapter will be observed.

Conclusion:
Appeals:
The Board must decide if the applicant's request for constructing a
swimming pool with reduced setbacks in the rear yard of the house is
reasonable. The Board is charged with deciding whether all of the above
stated conditions have been met.
Staff s review of the property in question does indicate an "unnecessary
hardship" relating to the property due to an extraordinary or exceptional
physical situation unique to this specific piece of property.
The grounds for relief stated by the applicant are as follows:
~ Unable to place the pool in any other location or not to encroach upon
the 16' utility easement.
~ The pool is needed for physical therapy use as well.
While the reasons for the variance relating to the size and shape of the
pool do strictly conform to "unnecessary hardship relating to the property
itself' the exclusive use physical therapy required by the applicant may be
taken into consideration when rendering a decision.
While recognizing the circumstances associated with the property, the
Board may consider:
· Allowing a proposed pool to be located off 4'in lieu of 6' setback from
the house and zero setback in lieu of 3' from the utility easement in the
rear yard, to accommodate intended design (variance granted).
· Deny the variance for the pool to be located within the above setbacks.
As per Section 106-196 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of La Porte:
Any person or persons, jointly or severally, aggrieved by any decision of the
Board of Adjustment, or any taxpayer, or any officer, department, board or
bureau of the city may present to a court of record a petition for a writ of
certiorari, as provided by V.T.C.A., Local Government Code Section
211.011, duly verified, setting forth that such decision is illegal, in whole or
in part, specifying the grounds of the illegality. Such petition shall be
presented to the court within ten days after the filing of the decision in the
office of the Board of Adjustment.

A variance is a" deviation from the literal provisions of the Zoning Ordinance." The City's
Board of Adjustments may NOT grant a variance that does not meet all of the following
conditions:
1) The variance must not be contrary to the public interest.
2) Literal enforcement ofthe Zoning Ordinance must result in a hardship. This hardship
must be unique to the property in question. Property that is undevelopable due to its
unusual shape, narrowness, shallowness, or topography constitutes the primary example
of hardship. Hardships that are financial in nature or due to the owner's actions cannot
be granted.
3) Granting the variance must not violate the spirit of the Zoning Ordinance.
4) No variance that allows a use that is prohibited within the Use zone in question may be
granted. For example, a variance allowing a commercial use in a residential zone is not
allowable.
Please remember it is the Applicant's responsibility to prove that a variance will meet the
above conditions.
If there is not adequate room on the remainder of this form to list all pertinent information,
please feel free to attach an additional letter or any information and exhibits you feel the Board
should consider.
