Re: Variance Request
Replat of Lot 10-R, Block 4,
Lakewood Ridge Addition
ZA16-052
Honorable Mayor and Council,
In the meeting of your Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday evening, 8 September, 2016, 1
represented the owner of the above referenced property.
During a discussion of the requested variances, I altered the original request, and the Commission ultimately
approved the following request, which I hereby offer for your approval.
1. Variance requested to permit the ultimate property owner at the time of a building permit issuance to
provide escrow funds for future construction in lieu of actual construction of the required 4 foot wide
sidewalk. This request is made because of the present roadway in place not being compatible with the
normal roadway with sidewalk cross-section allowing for a sidewalk without loss of trees and other major
complications. This request appears to be compatible with the wishes of other residents in the
subdivision.
2. Variance requested to allow for a deviation from the required perpendicular or radial side lot line. The
terrain and the large lot size of the subject property make the usual standard perpendicular or radial side
lines unnecessary. The small deviation from perpendicular in this case would be invisible on the ground,
and is in keeping with other side lot lines in the same lot tier of the subject subdivision.
Thank you for attention to this matter, and I look forward to presenting the case in your upcoming meeting.
