Lot C, Whispering Winds, Section Two, according to
the map or plat thereof recorded in Volume 19, Pages
163 & 164, Plat Records of Brazoria County, Texas
(2911 Broadway).
b. STAFF REPORT
Planner DuCroz gave the staff report stating that after
the site plan was approved and construction had
started, it was discovered that a city water line was
located along the rear of the property, underneath the
future location of the masonry wall. Even though the
applicant was willing to construct the masonry fence,
the city was concerned that the fence's foundation
would damage the water line. The applicant is
requesting that a variance be granted that would allow
them to install a landscaping screen instead of a
masonry wall.
Staff recommends approval as the applicant is unable
to build a masonry fence, at no fault of their own.
Staff received no Public Comment forms.

The applicant was present but did not speak.
