I'm

there's

Second,
I
have
a
motion
a
second
to
accept
the
minutes,
as
presented
for
the
special
meeting
of
may
18
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
and
the
opposed
motion
carries
all
right.
B
C
Thank
you,
sir,
mr
chairman,
for
the
record.
The
board
of
adjustments
today,
item
6a,
the
overview
is
applicant,
is
part
construction
park
avenue.
Construction
is
the
owner
and
applicant
armond.
Vendor
is
a
representative.
B
It's
not
coming
out
on
the
screens,
according
to
our
pio
office,
they're,
getting
ready
to
revamp
all
the
equipment
in
here
they
had
a
blowout,
so
we're
working
with.
Okay,
all.
C
Don't
worry
the
request,
a
variant
from
the
from
the
dimensional
standards,
as
required
by
the
laredo
land
development
code,
section
2477,
entitled
dimensional
standards
by
reducing
the
front
yard
setback
from
20
feet
to
10
feet
for
proposed
construction
of
a
single-family
detached
dwelling
unit.
The
applicant's
position,
the
applicant
requests,
the
following
variants:
to
reduce
the
frontier
setback
requirements
to
maximize
the
usage
of
the
lot
and
the
design
it
will
now
be
able
to.
If
not
granted.
The
variance
is
the
area
of
you.
A
B
B
C
C
You
have
the
packet
with
you
yeah.
I
have
the
agenda,
but
not
the
not
another
packet.
Let
me
see
if
I
can
go
make
some
copies.
D
B
A
C
Well,
I
got
stopped
here,
so
this
is
the
aerial
view
of
3102
legarte
street.
C
By
30
it's
a
46
by
69.
C
This
is
a
previous
approved
site
plan.
The
previous
approved
site
plan
was
a
20-foot
setback.
The
building
department
did
issue
a
building
permit
for
this
design.
A
B
So
that
was
presented
to
the
building
department
as
the
I
guess,
the
first
proposed
plan
and
they
did
receive
a
building
permit
to
build
this.
So.
B
C
This
is
a
proposed
site
plan
for
the
reduced
effects
asking
terrarians
on
this
plan.
C
The
previous
design
versus
the
proposed
design,
the
prairie's
design,
is
a
three-story
residential
dwelling.
The
total
living
area
is
2
000
to
218
square
feet.
The
design
was
approved,
it
complies
with
the
front
yard,
setback,
requirements
of
a
20-foot
setback
and
it
did
receive
a
building
permit.
The
proposed
design
is
a
two-story
residential
dwelling.
C
C
C
Staff
recommendations
staff
does
not
support
the
following
proposed
variants
for
the
following
reasons:
there's
there
are
no
peculiar
or
unusual
circumstances
associated
with
the
property
which
would
prevent
the
reasonable
use
of
land
if
the
variants
were
not
granted.
This
is
a
corner
lot,
approximately
31.92
square
feet
and
it
shows
no
topographical
features
like
extreme
slopes
or
uncommon
unconventional
shape
that
would
be
considered
as
peculiar
or
unusual.
C
Two.
The
proposed
construction
is
a
single
family
residence
which
is
allowed
on
an
r2
zoning
district.
Denial
of
this
proposed
variance
does
not
prevent
the
reasonable
use
of
land.
The
property
is
zoned
as
an
r2
district,
as
per
the
landlord,
as
per
the
laredo
land
development
code,
section
20,
24,
77
dimensional
standards.
The
frontier
subject
requirement
is
a
20
foot
step
back
and
number
four.
The
building
department
has
issued
a
building
permit
to
the
applicant
for
construction
of
a
previous
submitted
22-18
square
foot
design.
A
I
need
to
open
up
the
public
hearing,
so
I
have
a
motion
secretary
and.
A
Opposed
motion
carries
go
ahead,
sir
state
your
name,
armand
bandler
board,.
F
F
F
It
was
a
lot
of
record,
so
we
redesigned
it
based
on
that
information,
when
we
resubmit
when
we
submitted
this
to
the
building
department,
they
came
back
and
said,
wait
a
minute.
It
was
actually
recorded
after
september
1st
1979
and
it
does
not
qualify
for
a
lot
of
records.
So
we
went
through
the
process
of
redesigning
and
assuming
that
that
information
was
accurate
and
it
wasn't
so.
F
We
came
back
and
we
tried
to
look
at
other
options
to
figure
out
what
we
needed
to
get
the
10
foot
setback
along
league
out
of
the
road,
because
there
was
no
infrastructure
issues.
There
was
no
structures
there.
There
was
no
obstruction
of
vision.
We
weren't
hindering
any
of
that
any
of
those
items.
F
F
F
This,
yes,
sir,
the
original
owner
patty
martinez,
needed
the
builder
to
buy
the
property
in
order
to
get
the
financing
she
needed
to
make
this
project
possible
in
the
initial,
in
the
initial
conversation
with
the
building
department
on
whether
this
was
a
lot
of
record
or
not,
were
we've
already
gone
to
about
two
years
past
that
initial
conversation
and
multiple
designs
and
multiple
ways
of
us
trying
to
get
this
done
that,
unfortunately,
the
owner
is
also
absorbing
a
burden
of
a
cost
increase
on
the
materials
it
takes
to
build
this
so
initially
cost
estimates
were
roughly
200
000
and
now
we're
looking
at
spending
240
000
on
this
project.
F
A
F
B
A
B
Do
you
get
where
do
you
get
that
so
september
of
1979?
Anything
that
before
that
didn't
have
the
plan
and
it
becomes
a
lot
of
record
1979
and
that
setback
is
10
feet?
This
lot
came
in
november
of
1979.
They
missed
it
by
two
months
to
get
a
lot
of
record.
If
they
would
have,
they
would
have
had
a
setback
of
10
feet
and
they
did
not
so
their
setback
is
set
at
20.
decided.
A
Right,
okay,
is
there
any
questions
from
the
panel
here
from
the
members
of
the
committee?
I.
E
F
I
don't
have
sorry,
I
don't
have
the
pants
in
front
of
me.
I
would
use
the
dimensions.
A
F
Because
in
in
that
whole
process,
we
found
out
that
that
it
was
not
that
the
variance
is
an
option
and
we
bet
went
back
and
try
to
find
out
the
best
opportunity
for
us
to
get
that
10
foot
set
back.
So
we
are
at
the
junction
right
now.
We've
met
with
the
building
department.
We.
F
Planning
and
zoning-
and
I
think
I
think
that
we're
still
in
our
legal
grounds
to
be
able
to
request
a
10
foot
step
back
along
the
gap
there
and
and
again
it's
just
the
mag.
The
owner
is
already
on
a
lot,
it's
kind
of
very
hard
to
get
a
much.
You
know
this
locks
very
small.
It's
3
000
something
square
feet,
so
we're
trying
to
just
maximize
that
for
her
as
much
as
possible.
A
To
understand
understand
where
you
what
you're
coming
from
there,
but
please
understand
that
the
ordinances
are
there
for
a
reason,
and
it's
not
we're
not
at
liberty
to
just
grant
one
just
because
if
there's
the
circumstances
that
were
pointed
out
were
met,
it
would
be
different.
But
anybody
have
any
other
questions.
C
B
000.,
okay,
so
this
particular,
like
I
said
if
this
is
this-
is
an
old
lot
right,
so
this
house
had
a
this
lot,
had
a
house
on
it,
so
I
guess
I'll
give
a
little
bit
of
history
of
this.
So
there
was
a
house
on
this
property.
A
person
came
in
wanting
to
build.
A
new
house
was
given
a
permit
by
the
building
department,
and
so
they
tore
down
the
house
a
demolition
permit,
so
they
tore
down
the
house
come
to
find
out
that
that
they
technically
couldn't
do
that.
B
B
C
B
Allowed
to
reconstruct
it,
but
they're
not
allowed
to
put
a
bigger
house
on
it.
Are
they
it's
as
long
as
they
stay
within
the
setbacks?
Okay,
so
in
so,
I
think
you
saw
up
there
that
their
first
design
was
to
go
three-story,
so
my
understanding
is,
they
want
to
go
two-story
when
they
went
two-story
that
fattened
the
layout
and
go
any
farther
back
right,
but
the
three
story
does
fit
with
inside
them.
Okay,
go
ahead.
D
Mr
navarro,
yes
they're
in
our
two
right
now
great
the
way
that
the
bond
stands.
It
could
never
mean
any
zoning,
so
any
of
them
none
of
them
right,
but
can
they
still
zone
down
like
if
they
zone
down
to
an
r1?
Even
if
it's
an
mh
like,
I
thought
you
could
zone
down
with
a
non-conforming
like
an
old
lot
like
that,
so.
B
They
they
can.
What
they're
do
what
we're
doing
is
we're
respecting
the
setbacks
of
an
r2,
which
is
fine
with
the
client
I
mean
they
have
the
right
to
come
in
if
they
want
to
come
in
with
a
zone
change,
but
they
were
willing
to
stick
with
the
r2
and
build
the
building
department
looks
at
the
setbacks
of
four
and
r2,
and
that's
where
they
come
back
to
20..
Would
they
be?
Would
they
be
able
to.
D
Zone
down
from
an
r2
to
an
r1,
mh
manufactured
the
setbacks
are
this
is
the
same
for
r2
no
they're,
not
r1mh
has
a
10
foot
setback,
oh
r1,
at
mage,
r1,
no
r1mh,
because
you're
not
obligated
to
have
a
manufactured
home
on
an
r1mh
r1mh
allows
you
to
have
a
fixed
structure
as
well
as
a
mixed
or
as
a
mobile
structure.
But
if
you
zone
down
even
it
may
not
be
effective
for
them
economically.
B
The
only
thing
I
can
say
to
that
is
that
it's
not
a
guarantee.
He
has
every
right
to
to
request
a
zone
change.
We
can
take
it
through
the
process,
but
ultimately
it's
a
city
council
decision
for
that
zone
change.
Lately,
I
haven't
an
r1mh
is
not
very
popular,
but
I
can't
say
whether
he
would
get
it
or
not,
but
he
definitely
could
if
he
wanted
to.
Yes,
especially
for
the
dimension
of
the
setbacks.
D
B
Well,
one
of
the
things
we
were
talking
about.
I
know
this
is
technical,
but
the
r1b
is
established
for
new
developments,
but
we're
looking
at
possibly
having
that
standalone
so
that
we
have
another
option
for
a
smaller
lot.
I
mean.
D
So
but
my
memory
was
that
you
could
down
zone,
I
guess
less
intensive
uses
for
a
non-conforming
lot,
and
so,
if
he's
open
from
r2
down
to
any
of
the
r1's,
the
r1
mh
is
the
one
that
allows
him
to
change
it.
And
then
he
gets
the
10-foot
setback.
That's
what
he
wants.
That
would
be
correct
if
he,
if
he
got
the
zone,
if
he
did,
if
he
did
it
that
way,.
F
Mr
chair
of
may
I
appreciate
mr
davis's
comments,
but
I
think
this
right
here
the
variance,
would
would
actually
give
us
the
same
end
result.
We
still
have
the
same
square
footage
same
same
plan
set
again
if
it's
approved
favorable
with
staff
and
and
the
board
would
achieve
the
same
thing
as
the
zone
change.
D
D
Even
if
we
wanted
to
give
you
your
variance,
we
cannot
because
you
have,
it-
does
not
prohibit
you
from
using
the
the
lot.
It
has
no
abnormal
features,
everything
that
you
went
through
and
we're
limited
with
what
we
can
or
can't
do,
and
I
just
brought
it
up
just
because
that's
probably
the
only
alternative
you've
got
to
get
to
where
you
want
to
get
to
with
the
template
sepa,
and
we
we
deal
with
your
case.
D
I
haven't
been
here
very
long,
but
every
case
has
been
like
this
and
they're
all
unfortunate
situations.
Some
are
even
more
unfortunate
where
somebody
inherits
something
and
they're
trying
to
fix
it
up,
but
they
didn't
even
buy
it.
They
inherited
it
and
they're
trying
to
make
it
usable,
and
we
can't
do
anything
and
we've
been
told
that
every
point
in
time
we
can't
do
anything
ever
since
they
changed
the
law,
and
so
I'm
sympathetic
to
where
you're
at
I
was
just
trying
to
propose.
E
F
The
only
hardship
I
can
point
out
is
you
know.
I
think
that
originally
the
building
department
had
mentioned
that
the
it
was
a
lot
of
record
and
looking
at
the
deeds
a
little
closer
on
the
dates.
We
only
missed
it
by
45
days,
or
else
we
wouldn't
be
here
asking
for
a
variance.
It
would
be
a
lot
of
record
and
we
would
be
guaranteed
that
10
foot
setback,
those
45
days
is
very
little
and
I
think
the
we've
gone
through
designs.
F
We've
gone
trying
to
get
building
to
confirm-
and
you
know
we're
here
right
now.
I
think
legally
trying
to
get
this
approved.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
sir.
Thank
you
before
I
close
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
anybody
to
speak
on
against
this
move
to
close
that
here?
No,
it's
time
to
close
the
public
hearing
into
motion,
I'm
a
motion
and
a
second
to
close
the
public
hearing.
All
those
in
favor
any
opposed
motion
carries
sorry.
Gentlemen,.
A
C
A
Okay,
all
seven
of
us
here
have
voted.
Did
you
get
that
welcome?
Thank
you.
Unfortunately,
gentlemen.
The
motion
is
denied.
Thank
you
very
much
for
bringing
it
to
the
council.
Is
there
anything
else
to
come
before
it
will
be
closed
committee?
No
sir,
I
move
you
move
that
will
be
adjourned.
Yes,
sir.
Thank
you,
sir.
I
need
a
second
second
motion.
Second,
to
adjourn
the
meeting,
all
those
in
favor
aye,
aye

all
those
opposed
motion

Thank
you
very
much.
