City of Pearland 3519 Liberty Drive Pearland, Texas 77581 Reference: Lennar Homes of Texas Southdown Section Seven (8) FSI JO 94010-80 Dear Mr. Hargrove: On behalf of Lennar Homes, we hereby request a variance to use a 20 foot building line on cul-de-sac and thumbnail lots in Southdown Section Eight (8). Our request is based on the following considerations: 1. Lots that front on a cul-de-sac or thumbnail will have a greater distance between houses than the 100 foot (50' +25' +25') that occurs on the typical 50 foot right-of-way with a 25 foot building line on both sides. With a 20 foot building line, the separation between houses on a cul-de-sac will be 140 feet (100+20+20). There will not be the appearance from across the street of the houses being crowded. 2. The 20 foot building line outside the right-of-way provides adequate space to park a car without blocking the sidewalk. 3. Cul-de-sacs typically crowd the depth available for building a house. A 20 foot building line provides more space toward the front of the lot to fit a house and provide a back yard. 4. All previous sections of Southdown Subdivision have requested and used the 20 foot front building line. Based on these considerations, we request the variance request he approved.

Our request is based on the following considerations: 1. In the 1980's, this Section was first intended for commercial use. Instead, it will be used for residential use. Due to the limited space, we can only provide a 20 foot building line in the front of the lots. The 20 foot building line outside the right-of-way provides adequate space to park a car without blocking the sidewalk. 2. Lots that front on a cul-de-sac or thumbnail will have a greater distance between houses than the 100 foot (50'+25'+25') that occurs on the typical 50 foot right-of-way with a 25 foot building line on both sides. With a 20 foot building line, the separation between houses on a cul-de-sac will be 140 feet (100+20+20). There will not be the appearance from across the street of the houses being crowded. Based on these considerations, we request approval of this variance.

Instead, it will be used for residential use. Due to the limited space, a street along the center of the tracts with cul-de-sacs at each end is the best layout. Access to County Road 94 will be through Lambeth Drive. No direct access to County Road 94 will be allowed. Based on this consideration, we request approval of this variance.
