Fax: (713) 671-5360
I would like to request a variance for sidewalks for my home at 2717 Green Tee Drive,
Pearland, Texas 77581, To be in compliance with the deed restrictions for sidewalks 9 feet
from the curb, I would need to remove two of the largest trees on my property. Also, not
any homes have been built on either side of my property, there are only vacant lots one
of which is a developer's lot which cannot be built on.
There has been a precedent set for this request. A number of homes, as listed below,
do not have sidewalks, but have circular drives such as my home, or their sidewalks vary
from the deed restrictions,
1 Properties without sidewalks:
2428 Cork 2515 Green Tee Drive
2602 Green Tee Drive
2317 Fairway Circle
2. Sidewalks that vary from 9' restriction:

§ 212.014. Replattlng Without Vacating Preceding Plat
A replat of a subdivision or part of a subdivision may be recorded and is
controlling over the preceding plat without vacation of that plat if the replat:
(1) is signed and acknowledged by only the owners of the property being
replatted;
(2) is approved, after a public hearing on the matter at which parties in
interest and citizens have an opportunity to be heard, by the municipal
authority responsible for approving plats; and
(3) does not attempt to amend or remove any covenants or restrictions.
Acts 1987, 70th Leg., ch. 149, § I, eff. Sept. 1, 1987.
Revisor's Note
(1) The source law refers to a "replat or resubdivision." The reference to
"resubdivision" is omitted from the revised law because that term is included
within the meaning of "replat."
(2) The revised law substitutes "preceding" for "immediate previous" be-
cause the terminology is synonymous and the former is more commonly used.
(3) The source law refers to a recorded replat as being "valid and control-
ling." The reference to "valid" is omitted from the revised law because that
term is included within the meaning of "controlling."
(4) The source law refers to an attempt to "alter, amend or remove"
covenants or restrictions. The reference to "alter" is omitted from the revised
law because that term is included within the meaning of "amend."
(5) The source law contains cross-references to other provisions of the
source law. The cross-references are omitted from the revised law because
Sections 212.013, 212.015, and 212.016 are drafted to reflect the substance of
the cross-references.

(1) during the preceding five years, any of the area to be replatted was
limited by an interim or permanent zoning classification to residential use
for not more than two residential units per lot; or
(2) any lot in the preceding plat was limited by deed restrictions to
residential use for not more than two residential units per lot.
(b) Notice of the hearing required under Section 212.014 shall be given
before the 15th day before the date of the hearing by publication in an official
newspaper or a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the
municipality is located and by written notice, with a copy of Subsection (c)
attached, forwarded by the municipal authority responsible for approving
plats to the owners, as indicated on the most recently approved ad valorem
tax roll of the municipality's governing body, of all lots in the preceding plat.
The written notice may be delivered by depositing the notice, properly
addressed with postage prepaid, in a post office or postal depository within
the boundaries of the municipality. If the preceding plat contains more than
100 lots, the written notice shall be mailed only to the owners of lots located
within 500 feet of the lots to be replatted.
(c) If 20 percent or more of the owners to whom notice is required to be
given under Subsection (b) file with the municipal authority responsible for
approving plats a written protest of the replatting before or at the hearing, the
municipal authority shall require for the replatting the written approval of at
least 66z/3 percent of the owners of all lots in the preceding plat or of the
owners of lots located within 500 feet of the lots to be replatted if the
preceding plat contains more than 100 lots. In computing percentages of
ownership, each lot is considered equal to all other lots regardless of size or
number of owners, and the owners of each lot are entitled to cast only one
vote per lot.
(d) Compliance with Subsections (b) and (c) is not required for approval of
a replat of part of a preceding plat if the area to be replatted was designated
or reserved for other than single or duplex family residential use by notation
on the last legally recorded plat or in the legally recorded restrictions
applicable to the plat.

Revisor's Note
(1) The source law refers to "resubdivision or replatting." The reference to
"resubdivision" is omitted from the revised law because that term is included
within the meaning of "replatting."
(2) The revised law substitutes "preceding" for "immediate previous" be-
cause the terminology is synonymous and the former is more commonly used.

The revised law omits "immediate" from "immediate preceding" because the
term is redundant.

Amendment by Acts 1987, 70th Leg., ch. 1102, § 2
V.T.C.A. Government Code, § 311.031(c) provides, in part, that the
repeal of a statute by a code does not affect an amendment of the
statute by the same legislature which enacted the code and that the
amendment is preserved and given effect as part of the code provision.
Section 2 of Acts 1987, 70th Leg., ch. 1102, amends subsection (d) of
§ 5 of Vernon's Ann.Civ.St. art. 974a [now, this section] without
reference to the repeal of said article by Acts 1987, 70th Leg., ch. 149,
§ 49(1). As so amended, § 5(d) reads:
"Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the City Plan-
ning Commission or other appropriate governing body of a city is
authorized to approve and issue an amending plat which is signed by
the applicants only, and which is for one or more of the purposes set
forth in this subsection, and such approval and issuance shall not
require notice, hearing, or approval of other lot owners. This subsec-
tion shall apply only if the sole purpose of the amending plat is:
"(1) to correct an error in any course or distance shown on the prior
plat;
"(2) to add any course or distance that was omitted on the prior
plat;
"(3) to correct an error in the description of the real property shown
on the prior plat;
"(4) to indicate monuments set after death, disability, or retirement
from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with responsibilities
for setting monuments;
"(5) to show the proper location or character of any monument
which has been changed in location or character or which originally
was shown at the wrong location or incorrectly as to its character on
the prior plat;

"(6) to correct any other type of scrivener or clerical error or
omission as previously approved by the City Planning Commission or
governing body of such city; such errors and omissions may include,
but are not limited to, lot numbers, acreage, street names, and identifi-
cation of adjacent recorded plats;
"(7) to correct an error in courses and distances of lot lines between
two adjacent lots where both lot owners join in the application for plat
amendment and neither lot is abolished, provided that such amend-
ment does not attempt to remove recorded covenants or restrictions
and does not have a material adverse effect on the property rights of
the other owners in the plat;
"(8) to relocate a lot line in order to cure an inadvertent encroach-
ment of a building or improvement on a lot line or on an easement;
"(9) to relocate one or more lot lines between one or more adjacent
lots where the owner or owners of all such lots join in the application
for the plat amendment, provided that such amendment does not:
"(A) attempt to remove recorded covenants or restrictions; or
"(B) increase the number of lots; or
"(10) to make necessary changes to the prior plat to create sir or
fewer lots in the subdivision or a part of the subdivision covered by the
prior plat if:
"(A) the changes do not affect applicable zoning and other regula-
tions of the city;
"(B) the changes do not attempt to amend or remove any covenants
or restrictions; and
"(C) the area covered by the changes is located in an area that the
City Planning Commission or other appropriate governing body of the
city has approved, after a public hearing as a residential improvement
area."
Revisor's Note
Although Subsection (b) of Section 5 of V.A.C.S. Article 974a of the source
law does not refer specifically to amending plats, the cross-reference in that
subsection to Subsection (d) of Section 5 within the context of the section as a
whole seems to extend to an amending plat the concept that the plat may be
recorded and is controlling over the preceding plat without vacation of the
preceding plat. For Subsection (d) to operate without this construction would
be illogical. The revised law is drafted accordingly.
