records:
TO: Pearland Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy Eargle - Lanplan Company /General Homes Corporation
DATE: August 2, 1989
SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat, Section 6 Variance Request
We would like to request a variance to the 25' front building setback which would
permit lots fronting the bulb portion of all cul-de -sacs to have a 20' front building
line setback enabling a greater flexibility in location of the building pads on these
radial shaped and more shallow lots.
A title report was presented to Director of Public Works Bill Thomasset by David
Hinners of General Homes.
The Commission discussed which lots the requested variance to the front building
setback line would be applicable to. It was suggested the variance not be granted
until presentation of the final plat when more definitive details could be provided
and the variance could be granted on the basis of hardship as per the intent of the
subdivision ordinance and not just for purposes of flexibility.
It was moved by Clyde Starns, seconded by Leroy Savoie, the the preliminary plat of
Southwyck, Section 6, be approved with the stipulation that the requested 20' front
building line be granted on Lots 6 & 7, Block 1, only, at this time, with further
variances to be granted at the time the final plat is presented and approved,
provided a more detailed explanation is offered for this variance request.
Motion passed 5 to 1, with Mary Starr voting against.

furnish the pipe with the City furnishing the labor.
