Re: Variance Request for
The Lakes at Countryplace Section Two
Gentlemen:
On behalf of U S Home Corporation, the developer of Countryplace, we request variances from
the following subdivision ordinance requirements.
1. Section 27-4(D)(1)(a)(c). Minimum front setback of 25' on lots 105' or greater in depth.
We request a variance to permit houses with garages that face the street right-of-way to have
a building set back line of 20 feet and houses with garages not facing the street right-of-way
to have a minimum building set back of 15 feet. We would like to vary the set back to crate a
more attractive street scene.
The front set backs proposed in this section are the same as previously approved for earlier
sections in Countryplace.
2. Section 27-4(D)(1)(a). Minimum 7' side building line with an aggregate of 15' between
houses.
Single family detached lots will have side setbacks with an aggregate of 10' between houses.
The lot widths and side setbacks proposed in this section are the same as previously approved
for earlier sections in Countryplace.
3. Section 27-4(A)(3)(m). Dead end streets: I. Cul-de-sac (dead end streets with turnaround)
shall not be longer than six hundred feet
Arbor Drive is approximately 1,000 feet long from the intersection of Chickory Field Lane to
the center of the turnaround. Due to the street frontage afforded to the lake and open space
proposed in Reserve A only 22 lots take access to Arbor Drive. Hypothetically, it is possible

to build 24 lots (60 feet wide) on a cul-de-sac street that is 600 feet long. Arbor Drive has
two fewer lots than would be permitted on a 600 foot cul-de-sac street.
At the end of Arbor Court, U S Home will construct and maintain an emergency access drive
to McHard Road. A 24 foot wide gated driveway will be constructed within a dedicated 50'
wide access easement. In emergency situations, homes built on Arbor Drive and in the rest
of Countryplace will have two points of access.

Re: Oakbrook Estates, Section Four
LE #97025
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are hereby requesting the following variances as you
consider the Preliminary Plat for the above mentioned project:
1. A request is made to allow 20 foot front building lines on all
cul-de-sacs and bulb cul-de-sacs. This is consistent with the
variances allowed in the other sections of Oakbrook Estates.
2. We are requesting a variance for a cul-de-sac length of
greater than 600 feet on Oak Point Drive and Oak Point Court.
The length from centerline of street to the center of the cul-
de-sac is approximately 655 feet or 55 feet longer than the
maximum. In addition, this length has not changed since the
submittal of the overall Master Plan.
We appreciate your consideration of these matters. If .you
have any questions or require any additional information, please do
not hesitate to call. I remain,

Re: Variance Request
Weatherford Phase 11 at Silverlake
Dear Members:
On behalf of New Southwyck, L.P., we hereby request a variance to Section 27-4 (D)(1)(a) of the
Subdivision Ordinance on the following items within Weatherford Phase II at Silverlake:
1. Use of 20-foot building line setbacks on lots fronting the bulb portion of cul-de-sacs.
2. Use of 5-foot side lot building line setbacks.
Our request is based on the following considerations:
20-foot building line setbacks on cul-de-sacs
1. Lots fronting a cul-de-sac will have a greater distance between houses than lots on a
standard 50-foot ROW street.
2. A 20-foot building line setback provides adequate space for a car in a driveway without
blocking the sidewalk.
3. A 20-foot building line setback will allow the cul-de-sac lot size to be closer to the
standard lot size in a section.
5-foot side lot building line setback
1. The 5-foot side lot building line setback with a 10-foot separation between structures is in
accordance with the approved Master Preliminary Plat of the Southwyck/Silverlake
development.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at (713) 777-5337.

section 15, H.T. & B. R.R. Co. survey, A-241, Brazoria County, TX (2721

Discussion began with Chairman Pat Lopez stating that R-2 should not be approved in a R-1
area, and if the square footage of the property does not fit the category it should be grandfathered
in to keep consistency in the neighborhood. Mr. Smith said the owner could request R-1 zoning
with a variance.

Chairman Lopez started the discussion and reminded the Commissioners to keep in mind the
comments made at the Joint Public Hearing, and their challenge is to focus on the use of the land
and policing of the property (cars parked in the right-of-way, noise, etc.)
Commissioner Mathis asked if the business is in existence, and Mr. Smith said it was under
contract prior to annexation and is an existing business now. Chairman Lopez said the City
could not document prior businesses on the property. Mr. Smith said it is grandfathered as an
existing business.
3
Mr. Smith is concerned about the lot size, and referred to Section 24.2 of the Land Use
Ordinance to qualify the lot's deficiency if platted prior to annexation. He went on to say that
noise abatement and sign ordinances are covered under code enforcement. Mr. Smith said the
business could continue to be grandfathered and if it shuts down, the new owners would have
to start over and rezone the property.
A motion was made by Commissioner Scott, and seconded by Commissioner Starr to approve
Application No. 255.

as M-1. Vice Chair Beltz asked will the property be used for boat storage as well as a repair
shop, and Mr. Smith said he was unaware of the owner's intentions.
Mr. Smith said if the property fronted on Hwy 288, the owner could request General Business
or Office Professional. Commissioner Starr said the property can be seen from McHard Road.
Commissioner Scott said it is the responsibility of staff to counsel with applicants to ensure
proper zone categories, and Mr. Smith said that staff does.
Mr. Smith said the requested zone change was not the best use of the land, and Commissioner
