A request by Matthew Plummer, owner, for a variance

Page 1 of 3 - Minutes - May 4, 2006
as shown on a map of a subdivision of section BD.
J.S. Talm, Abstract 564, Brazoria County, Texas,
recorded in Vol. 2, Page 98, Plat B (Located at 2211
C. R. 59).
b. STAFF REPORT
Planner DuCroz gave the staff report explaining the
applicant is requesting a variance to the height
restriction for a forty-five foot height structure in the R-
E, Single Family Estate District zone. The Unified
Development Code does not allow a building to
exceed thirty-five feet in height in the R -E zone.
Staff feels the variance request does not meet the
criteria for a hardship and granting this variance
would confer a special privilege on these applicants
that is denied to others that are similarly situated.
C. APPLICANT PRESENTATION
The applicant was not present.
d. PERSONS WISHING TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST
THE PROPOSED REQUEST
There was no one present to speak for or against this
variance request.
e. STAFF/BOARD/APPLICANT DISCUSSION
There was no comment from the Board/Staff.

Chairperson Pillow called for the hearing to be
adjourned at 6 :05 p.m.
