Re: Variance Request Narrative — Lot 35, T.M. Hood No. 706 Addition
Dear Mayor and City Council,
We are writing this letter on behalf of our clients SRG Holdings, LLC who purchased the lot in the summer
of 2020. While they acknowledged and understood the need to replat the property they did not become
aware of the below subdivision ordinance issues until after the lot was closed and they began working on
architectural plans.
The following variance is requested within the Plat Showing for the referenced lot above:
1. Variance to the Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended, Section 5.06 to omit the adding of a
5' sidewalk on the east side of Shady Oaks.
The basis for the variance request is there are currently no sidewalks adjacent to the lot, across the street or
along the east side of Shady Oaks. Everything around has been built along this road and no sidewalks
connect to our lot. We think this would diminish the aesthetics of the area and ultimately a sidewalk would
look out of place here.
We ask that you please consider our request of the variance items listed above.
Sincerely,
q!� �v
