Conduct a public hearing and consider a request for a zoning variance for approximately 0.23 acres (10,000 square feet) at 120, 124, 128 and 132 Avenue L to allow the development of a single-family residence on each lot.] THREE A IS TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR A ZONING VARIANCE FOR APPROXIMATELY 0.23 ACRES, UH, WHICH IS 10,000 SQUARE FEET AT 1 21 24, 1 28, AND 1 21 32 OF AVENUE L HERE IN BAYTOWN TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ON EACH LOT. AND IF WE COULD ASK STAFF TO SUMMARIZE THE TOPIC. UH, GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIRMAN AND, UH, BOARD MEMBERS TIM CHI HERE WITH THE CITY'S PLANNING AND THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. UH, BEFORE YOU THIS AFTERNOON, WE HAVE, UH, VARIANCE ZONING VARIANCE APPLICATION REQUEST. THE APPROXIMATELY 0.23 ACRES, SUBJECT PROPERTY CONTAINS FOUR LOT, 1 20, 1 24, 1 28, AND 1 32 ON AVENUE, AVENUE L. THE FOUR LOTS ARE SITUATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF AVENUE L NORTH OF DORIS STREET. SO HERE IS AN AREA VIEW, WHICH SHOWS YOU THE VIEW FROM THE SKY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. HERE IS RESUMED INTO VIEW. YOU KNOW, WITH THE PURPLE OUTLINES OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM THE CITY'S UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, UODC. THE CURRENT, UH, ZONING DISTRICT, MR. MAKES RESIDENTIAL, UH, IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH FROM 50 FEET TO 24 FEET, AND THE MINIMUM LOT AREA FROM 5,000 SQUARE FEET TO 2,500 SQUARE FEET FOR FOUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS. HERE WE HAVE THE CURRENT ZONING MAP DISPLAYING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE, THE SUBJECT SIDE IS SITUATED IN THE, UH, MIXED RESIDENTIAL MR ZONING DISTRICT. I JUST WANT TO, UH, SHARE WITH YOU ON A FEW, UH, PICTURE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY [00:05:01] ON THE GROUND. SO THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SIDE, UH, ON AVENUE L. HERE'S ANOTHER PICTURE, UH, ON AVENUE L FACING DORIS STREET, WHICH IS THE SOUTHWEST DIRECTION. AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE ON AVENUE L FACING THE DEAD END, UH, THE NORTHEAST DIRECTION. SO BASED ON THE HARRIS COUNTY RECORDED PLAT OF, UM, BUSH TERRACE DATED APRIL 16TH, 1928, THE CURRENT RE UH, RECTANGULAR LOT CONFIGURATION AND THE SIZES APPEAR TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE HISTORICAL PLOT, ALTHOUGH SOME STREET NAMES AND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY LAYOUT HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME. AND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON BLOCK 33, BETWEEN LOT 32 TO LOT 35. SO HERE IS THE PLOT, UH, BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF THIS, UH, ZONING ENVIRONMENT REQUESTS TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH FROM 50 FEET TO 25 FEET, AND THE MINIMUM LOT AREA FROM 5,000 SQUARE FEET TO 2,500 SQUARE FEET FOR FOUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS. THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMMARIZES, UH, STUFF PRESENTATION IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD. UM, ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT? AND THEN WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. NO, I, I, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD, I, I MUST HAVE MISSED THAT ORIGINAL PLAT IN OUR PACKAGE BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING WHY THE, THE LOT SIZES WERE SO SMALL, YET THERE WERE ALREADY FOUR DESIGNATED ADDRESS OR, OR YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YES. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT LOOKED LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE WERE LARGER LOTS. AND THIS WAS JUST A VERY SMALL CARVED OUT, YOU KNOW, TAKING TWO LOTS AND MAKING FOUR OUT OF 'EM. BUT LOOKS LIKE THE ORIGINAL PLANT HAD 25 FOOT WIDE LOTS TO BEGIN WITH. YES. AND MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY JUST BOUGHT TWO OR THREE AND MADE 'EM ONE LARGER LOT. SO THAT, THAT, THAT AN THIS, THIS, UH, ANSWERED MY, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD, SO VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. I WAS, IF I COULD, MIKE? YES, SIR, I WAS ALONG THE SAME LINE AS YOU GILBERT. I, I HAD SEEN THIS. I GUESS WHAT I WAS WONDERING IS WHY A VARIANCE? IT, IT, IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD APPLY TO EVERY LOT THAT'S ON THERE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE'S HAVING TO COME IN AND ASK FOR A VARIANCE OR IF WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. SO A VARIANCE ISN'T REQUIRED BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE LOTS, AT LEAST ON THE DIAGRAM, ARE CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE REST OF THE LOTS ON THE STREET. LEMME GO BACK TO THE CURRENT ZONING MAP. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE CURRENT ZONING MAP. AND SOME PARCELS THEY ARE ACTUALLY LARGER THAN, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST A FOUR SINGLE LOT. YEAH. BUT THAT'S BACK TO WHAT GILBERT SAID IS IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THEY COMBINED LOTS TO MAKE A LARGER ONE. BUT IF SOMEBODY ELSE, IF THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE OPEN, WOULD THEY NOT BE IN THE SAME POSITION AS THIS INDIVIDUAL, RIGHT? YEAH, THAT IS CORRECT. YEAH. UH, I, I, UM, ADVISED, UH, TIM AND DEFINITELY THE APPLICANT TO TAKE THIS ROUTE ONE SO THAT WE CAN CAPTURE THIS IN WRITING. SO IF IN TERMS IN THE PERMITTING, IN TERMS OF SELLING FINANCIAL, WHATEVER NEEDS TO OCCUR THAT THE APPLICANT WOULDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH, UH, HAVING THAT IN WRITING, THAT IT WAS APPROVED, THAT IS OFFICIAL. AND, UH, LASTLY, SO THAT WE AS THE CITY CAN HAVE SOMETHING IN WRITING SHOWING THIS IS THE APPROVAL AND THEY RECEIVED AND ALLOWING THEM TO MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU. THAT, THAT MAKES SENSE. I, I KNOW THERE, THERE ARE OTHER, UH, PLACES AROUND TOWN WHERE THE LOTS ARE SMALLER AND DON'T MEET THE NEW CODE REQUIREMENTS, RIGHT. SO WE'RE GIVING A VARIANCE TO A CURRENT CODE, NOT AN ORIGINAL PLAT, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. YEAH. YEAH. THE OTHER THING THAT I, I MIGHT OFFER IS I DON'T, I HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA. MAYBE THE REASON IT HASN'T COME UP BEFORE IS IN THIS AREA IS BECAUSE IT HASN'T COME UP BEFORE IN THIS AREA. UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF NEW DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE. YOU, YOU'LL NOTE THERE'S ONLY ABOUT FIVE LOTS LEFT THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW THAT, THAT ARE GONNA BE SUBJECT TO THIS. SO I, I WOULDN'T, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THE CITY DO ANYTHING BLANKET TO [00:10:01] THAT. 'CAUSE SOME OF 'EM ARE JUST GONNA STAY VACANT. UM, SOME OF 'EM MAY ALREADY JUST BE, HEY, I BOUGHT THE LOT NEXT TO ME, BUT I'M JUST NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH IT. I'M NOT RE PLATTING IT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO WE, WE DID FEEL THAT THIS WAS THE EASIEST WAY TO KIND OF HANDLE AS THEY COME UP. UM, AND SO, UM, SO THAT'S WHY IT'S BEFORE YOU SAY, BUT IT WAS PLATTED NEARLY A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, THE RULES WERE, WELL, THERE PROBABLY WEREN'T ANY RULES A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. UH, SO THE, UM, THE APPLICANT HAS PURCHASED THESE LOTS AND, AND, AND WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE ARE THE LOTS, THE WAY THEY ALREADY ARE, SHE WILL HAVE TO MEET THE, ALL THE REST OF THE REGULATIONS IN TERMS OF SETBACKS AND ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE PART OF THE CODE. AND IF AT SOME POINT THE APPLICANT FINDS THAT SHE NEEDS TO ALTER THAT, SHE WOULD'VE TO COME BACK BEFORE YOU AS A BOARD. UM, AS WE HAVE SEEN THE PRELIMINARY, UH, KIND OF SITE PLANS, WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S GONNA BE NECESSARY UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES. SO, BUT THAT'LL, THAT'LL BE UP TO THE APPLICANT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT THE ZONING MAP. UM, THE UNNAMED STREET THAT IS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF AVENUE L IS THAT STREET ACTUALLY THERE? I DIDN'T GO THAT FAR DOWN DORIS STREET. I JUST, I LOOKED AT AVENUE L, BUT I I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT IT'S NOT THAT THERE'S NOT A STREET THERE THAT, THAT THESE LOTS BEHIND OUR SUBJECT LOTS GO OFF INTO THE WOODS AND THERE'S NOT A, THERE'S NOT A DEVELOPED STREET THERE. TIM, CAN YOU BRING UP THE AERIAL FOR THAT? YEAH, THE LARGER ONE. YEAH, I THINK THE LITTLE GRAY LINE SHOWS THE STREET. YEAH. AND THE REST IS JUST THE WAY IT WAS. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT, SO THE STREET ON THE ZONING MAP DOESN'T REALLY SHOW WHAT'S THERE. YEAH, WE WOULD CALL THAT A PAPER STREET. SO IT WAS PLANNED BUT NEVER BUILT. YEAH, MY HOPE WHEN I DROVE OVER THERE AND, UH, I, YOU KNOW, AGREE AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU ALWAYS DO WITH THE APPLICANTS. MY HOPE IS IF SOMEONE SEES WHAT THE APPLICANT'S DOING AND DOES THE SAME THING RIGHT, TO FILL OUT THE AREA, THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GONNA FULLY DEVELOP THE AREA. SO KUDOS TO YOU. SO YOUR APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT, SO IF YOU WANTED TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS, UM, SHE'S AVAILABLE FOR THAT AS WELL. I THINK I NEED TO READ THE SCRIPT OR, UH, PLEASE. PUBLIC HEARING, PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE HELD TO GIVE ALL INTERESTED PERSONS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK AND BE HEARD. EVERYONE DESIRED TO SPEAK AT TODAY'S HEARING SHOULD HAVE SIGNED THE APPROPRIATE LIST AS THIS LIST WILL PROVIDE THE SPEAKING ORDER. UH, EACH SPEAKER SHALL GIVE HIS AND HER NAME AND ADDRESS TO PROVIDE A PROPER RECORD OF THIS HEARING. THE RULES ALLOW EACH SPEAKER THREE MINUTES TO PRESENT INFORMATION. HOWEVER, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BE AS CONCISE AS POSSIBLE IF THERE IS A GROUP INVOLVED. UH, PLEASE, UH, SELECT A SPOKESPERSON TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION. IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DIRECT THEM TO ME. SO LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC, PUBLIC, UH, PART AND, UH, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY TO SPEAK? AND WE DO. PLEASE MA'AM, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE. UH, DO PHIL DORNA INE, UH, 53 0 3 HARBOR MIST, BAYTOWN, TEXAS 7 7 5 2 1. OKAY, THANK YOU. DID EVERYBODY IN THE BACK HEAR ME? ? VERY GOOD. SAY WHAT? UH, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US? OR, UM, I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT, UH, THANK YOU FOR Y'ALL'S TIME. I KNOW SOME OF Y'ALL ARE IN RETIREMENT AND YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO COME OFF A VACATION FOR THIS, BUT THANKS AGAIN, I APPRECIATE Y'ALL. UM, WE, WHEN WE PURCHASED THE, UH, PROPERTY, UH, WE DID, WE THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING THE FOUR PROPERTIES WITH THE WAY THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD FOUR SINGLE HOMES. AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS PLOTTED OVER, UH, A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, SO WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING HAD CHANGED. SO, UM, THAT'S WHY WE BID TO YOU ALL IF, IF YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PASS THIS. AND I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING NERVOUS. I'VE NEVER HAD TO COME BEFORE A COMMITTEE BEFORE. I MEAN, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO ONE HERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, STILL FOR YOU ALL, OH, MIKE'S, MIKE'S KIND OF MEAN LOOKING. YOU GO, WE, WE GENERALLY DON'T BITE. UH, OKAY, I'M JUST . I WORK WITH NUMBERS ALL DAY, NOT PEOPLE. SO, , THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO. WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS, I, I GREW UP IN THIS, IN THIS AREA AND, UH, THE REASON THERE WERE SO MANY, LOTS AND, YOU KNOW, PLANNED, AND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ACTUALLY USED TO GO ACROSS 1 46 MM-HMM . OVER TO EARHART. SO 1 46 KIND OF CAME AND CUT IT IN HALF, UH, YOU KNOW, YEARS AGO. BUT THERE, THERE WAS A HOME ON EVERY ONE OF THESE LOTS AT ONE TIME. YEAH. AND, UH, AND OVER TIME SOME OF THE HOMES WENT AWAY. THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE ON BLOCKS, THEY WEREN'T, YOU KNOW, CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS AND LOTS CONSOLIDATED PEOPLE BOUGHT LOTS NEXT TO 'EM TO HAVE BIGGER YARDS. [00:15:01] AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS, THIS LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD HERE HAS TRANSITIONED OVER THE LAST ALMOST 100 YEARS. AND I, I JUST THANK YOU FOR SEEING, UH, HAVING A VISION TO COME AND, YOU KNOW, PUT A PLACE FOR FOLKS TO LIVE AND, UM, AND, AND KIND OF REJUVENATE THIS AREA. I, I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THIS, UH, BIG BLOCK RIGHT HERE OFF TEXAS AVENUE, BUT THAT WAS SUBSIDIZED HOUSING EVER SINCE I WAS A KID. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S REJUVENATED AND COME BACK AND, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE MOVING IN THERE AND, AND THERE'S ACTIVITY AGAIN. AND SO THAT'S GOOD TO SEE. SO THANK YOU FOR TAKING AN INTEREST IN THAT AREA AND MAKING SOMETHING, UH, AVAILABLE FOR FOLKS TO MOVE INTO. I, I TOO WAS RAISED IN THE AREA. OH YEAH. YEAH. I GRADUATED FROM ROBERT E. LEE IN 1989, JUST A LITTLE AFTER ME, BUT YEAH, I, I GREW UP RIGHT ACROSS TEXAS AVENUE OFF OF LAREDO ON GULF STREET. OKAY. I WENT TO, I WAS OFF OF BAYWAY DRIVE. OKAY. I TOO APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN. ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT IS GOOD. I HOPE YOU PUT A QUALITY PRODUCT ON THE GROUND AND WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE DOING, BECAUSE WHAT'S EXCITING FOR ME IS TO SEE WHERE SOMETHING NEW HAPPENS, THE RIPPLE EFFECT AND HOW PEOPLE AROUND YOU HOPEFULLY WILL TAKE AN INTEREST IN UPGRADING THEIR PLACE AS WELL.
