PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a request by Larry DeBerry for a
variance to Section 3.3.B of the Zoning Ordinance in order to reduce the rear
yard from the required twenty-five feet to fifteen feet, this property being located
405-A North Jackson Street, being Lot 8 of the LGD Townhomes Addition.
(ZBOA Case No. 2002-16).
Thompson reviewed the history and the zoning of the subject property, stating that on
the west is the railroad corridor and on the east is Jackson Street, resulting in unusual
sizes and shapes. Therefore the subject Lot 8 is an "L" shape, sufficiently wide at the
building lines but very narrow at the rear.
Thompson stated that the applicant is requesting a reduction in the rear yard from the
required twenty-five (25) feet to fifteen (15) feet, a variance of ten (10) feet or forty (40)
percent. The remaining rear yard will be approximately 151/2 feet deep and 30 feet wide
immediately adjacent the dwelling, providing a yard space of approximately 465 square
feet. However, the remaining yard will also include a strip measuring 10 feet by 190
feet.
Larry DeBerry, 8277 Private Road 5357, Nevada, Texas, represented as the owner of
the subject property, stated that the property abuts the railroad corridor which was the
old train depot and there are no plans for development along that easement area.
A motion was made by Mr. Gibbons, seconded by Mr. Alexander, to grant the variance
for a reduction in the rear yard to fifteen (15) feet. Motion passed 4 — 0.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion was made by Mrs. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Alexander, to adjourn the meeting
at 7:30 p.m. Motion passed 4 — 0.
