requiring a minimum lot size of one acre for a private sewage
disposal system and subsurface drainage field. The location is
1740 Randol Mill Ave., being 0.8123 acres in the William Martin

private sewage disposal system and subsurface drainage field.
There was no other person wishing to speak either in favor or in
opposition to the request.
Public Hearing Closed
The findings were stated by Mr. Bentley.
iill
The evidence presented by the applicant demonstrates that a
literal enforcement of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance on the
property in question would impose an unnecessary hardship, in
that residential use of the property is a permitted use in the
district, and due to the size of the property its utility and
worth for agricultural uses is extremely limited, thereby making
+w residential use its only reasonable use; and the terms of the
ordinance requires a minimum of one acre, which is more than the
size of the property, and this was on existing lot at the time of
adoption of the ordinance;
And that the general purpose and intent of the ordinance is to
permit and promote reasonable development of property whenever
possible and safely feasible;
and furthermore, that special conditions and circumstances exist
which are peculiar to the land, structure or buildings involved
which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings
in the same district; and that these special conditions and
circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant;
and that granting a variance will not confer upon the applicant
any special privilege that is denied by the zoning ordinance to
other lands, structures or buildings in the same district; and
+ furthermore, that the requirements of the zoning ordinance
regarding a variance have been met by the applicants; and that
the reasons set forth by the applicant justify the granting of a
variance, which is the minimum variance that will make possible
the reasonable use of the land, structure or building; and
finally, that granting of a variance will be in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and will not
be injurious or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
A Motion to Grant a Variance ZBA Case #195:
That the Board of Adjustment of the City of Southlake, Texas,
