Board of Adjustment (BOA) Meeting, 04/12/2023
A
Mr
chairman,
we
had
a
request
from
the
applicant
to
table
this
item.
He
is
in
the
process
of
working
with
the
city
of
laredo's
new
zoning
audience,
so
he
asked
if
we
could.
We
could
table
that
that
item.
B
Mr
you're
talking
about
I'm
6A,
the
request
by
Felipe
Ramirez.
A
That's
great,
that's
the
one
right.
Yes,
yes,.
C
B
Correct:
okay,
that
is
correct
and
he's
asked
to
table
that
he
has
us.
Okay,
do
we
need
to
vote
on
that?
No
just
the
table,
but.
A
Eight
times
certain
or
not
we'll
say
time
certain,
but
he
he's
in
the
process
of
zoning.
So
as
long
as
that
happens,
he
probably
won't
come
back,
but
we'll
just
Time
start.
B
B
Okay,
I'll
go
ahead
and
staff,
it's

C
Their

the

that's
required
by
the
Laredo

After

This

property
owner
the
use
of
the
property
for
any
reasonable
use
staff
recommendations,
staff
support
post
variances
for
the
following
reasons.
The
proposed
property
was
subdivided
by
a
divorce
judgment
on
June
30th
of
1969..
A
So
basically,
I
think
you
heard
what
said,
and
this
is
an
old
property.
There
is
a
divorce
decree
that
that
split
the
property.
This
is
what
the
guy
has
he.
You
know
he
was
grandfathered
in
back
in
the
day,
but
he
lost
that
they
stopped
doing
business
there
for
over
six
months.
Clay
lost
it.
So
then,
when
they
came
in
to
ask
for
a
leader
building
said
we,
you
lost
your
grandfather
now
you
have
to
fight
well,
they
don't
meet
any
of
the
dimensions.
A
A
No,
the
first
thing
he's
going
to
do
if
he
was
granted.
The
variance
is
to
plant
the
property,
then
after
he
plots
the
property
he's
probably
going
to
have
to
rezone
the
property.
Okay
and
after
rezoning-
and
that's
that's-
he
has
to
go
to
council
for
that.
Then
after
that,
then
he'd
probably
go
in
for
a
meter,
an
electrical
meter
and
he
was
going
to
do
some
repairs,
but
that's
probably
the
extent
of
what
he
could
do
on
this
property.
It's
very
minimal.
What
is
what
is
user
for.
E
A
G
A
As
a
separate
owner
and
he's
probably
going
to
have
to
go
through
the
same
steps
and
but
he
he
hasn't
he
he
came
in
once
he
tried
to
change
his
Zone,
but
he
he
wasn't
successful.
So
he's
probably
going
to
come
in.
He
has
the
same
divorce
decree
he's
going
to
have
to
do
something
there,
it's
very
minimal
what
they
can
do
because
of
the
parking
situation
right
now
the
zone
is
B3.
He
would
have
to
come
up
with
nine
parking
spaces.
A
He
doesn't
have
access
to
the
parking,
that's
around
it,
so
he
doesn't
meet
the
parking.
So
the
suggestion
was
possibly
to
zone
or
requested
Zone
to
the
central
business
district,
which
would
allow
him
to
do
something
there
without
parking.
The.
A
G
That
and
the
building's
right
on
the
property
yeah,
no,
no,
it's
I
grew
up.
My
dad's
office
is
two
blocks
down
yeah,
so
you
know
exactly
right,
like
I
know
that
place,
but
there's
no
way
I
mean
it's
that
it's
exactly
23
39,
it's
23
39
square
feet.
G
A
It'll
fit
in
the
CBD.
Well
let
me
take
this
back
because
of
this
variance.
If
it
was
granted,
you
would
be
able
to
plant
so
if
he
could
plot,
then
he
would
have
to
propose
something
that
fits
into
the
CBD.
A
If
you
understand
what
I
mean
he
doesn't
have
to
come,
that
way
right
so
the
other
way,
but
but
really
that's
the
only
way
he's
going
to
be
able
to
work
with
a
parking
situation,
because
that's
the
only
Zone
that
we
have
that
doesn't
allow
for
parking
or
doesn't
require
parking.
It
doesn't
require
parking
now
the
he
still
has
to
work
on
the
Zone,
because
CBD
at
Central
business
district,
it's
usually
kept
south
of
Scottish.
Okay.
This
is
on
the
other
side
of
the
street,
so
we're
still
working
on
that.
So
it's
it's!
A
A
No
actually,
what
you're
doing
here
is
allowing
him
a
chance
to
plant
okay,
because
he
can't
he
can't
do
anything.
He
can't
even
ask
for
a
building
permit
because
he's
not
going
to
play,
but
we
wanted
to
at
least
get
planted,
so
he
has
the
opportunity
to
go
in
and
let's
say
he
wants
to
just
fix
repairs.
That's
just
repairs,
not
remodeled,
but
fix
a
roof
for
me,
and
he
wants
to
come
in
for
a
building
permit
well,
they're,
not
giving
him
a
building
permit
because
he's
not
padded.
Okay.
B
You,
okay,
I'll,
entertain
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing
so
move
second,
second,
okay,
all
in
favor
all
right,
anybody
speaking
in
favor
or
in
against.
If
you
could
come
up
to
the
podium
and
present
yourself.
I
I
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Jose
fulman
of
the
third
I'm
representing
my
father,
who
is
the
owner
of
a
home
cabinets
and
just
in
regards
to
the
property
904
Scott.
We
bought
this
property,
not
really
knowing
all
the
situations
that
we
were
going
to
get
into,
but
basically
it's
just
what
we're
trying
to
do?
I
It's
our
it's
going
to
be
the
business
office,
that's
what
we
want
to
do
and
we're
in
the
process
of
getting
started,
but
unfortunately,
we
can't
even
as
much
as
the
paint
the
building
outside
or
put
their
roof
in
we're
just
kind
of
stuck
in
that
situation.
Right
now
and
I
think
it'd
be
a
benefit
to
the
city
that
this
this
this
you
guys
help
us
contribute
more
to
the
beautification
of
the
city.
It
is
in
the
downtown
area
and
I
think
it
would
help
you
know
so.
I
E
E
E
I
B
I
Saw
that
yeah
and
if
you
look
to
our
building
it
is
very
dilapidated.
It's
going
to
fall
apart
at
any
point
right
there
in
the
little
the
little
entrance
you
see
to
the
the
two-story
building,
there's
currently
a
lot
of
vagrants
homeless
people
at
staylor
overnight,
and
it's
kind
of
dangerous
we've
gotten
assaulted
there
a
couple
times
at
night,
because
we
go
by
to
check
there's
no
one
breaking
in
or
anything
right
now,
I
think
we
wanted
a
meter,
so
we
can
put
light
outside
at
least
at
night.
You
know
what.
E
Is
there's
three
buildings
I
see
there
is
that
third
building
that
yellow
one
with
it
with
a
flat
roof?
Is
that
yours
too
no
that's.
I
I
D
E
I
We
we
were
working
with
someone
because
we
did
apply
for
permits
and
stuff
like
that,
but
at
the
moment
we're
not
working
with
anyone.
We're
just
we're
just
stuck
in
the
process.
F
It
is
the
information
that
you've
been
given
from
the
city
that,
if
you,
if
you
don't
get
a
variance
from
the
boa
you're,
not
able
to
get
a
permit
to
do
anything
because
you
can't
get
a
plat
yeah,
pretty
much
we're
kind
of
stuck
I
mean
we
haven't
tried
to
weigh
any
other
options
for
the
property,
because
there
are
none
yeah,
I'm.
G
What
type
of
videos
yeah
yeah,
so
when
did
you
buy
it
2020
2020.,
so
you've
owned
and
December
of
2020
and
it's
been
abandoned
since
it's
been
when
you
when
you
bought
it,
and
so
you
can't
at
this
point
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
you
cannot
even
connect
a
meter,
even
if
you
want
to
rent
it
out
right
correct,
so
you
can't
really
do
anything
at
all
with
it.
Even
if
you
wanted
to
correct
okay,
because
the
Clause
exited
or
terminated,
you're
grandfathering
in
right.
That's.
I
G
E
A
E
A
And
what
had
the
frustration
on
this
was
he?
The
Assumption
was
by
an
inspector
that
the
parking
lot
belonged
to
him
so
right,
so
they
were
given
a
building
permit
and
that,
if
you
look
at
this
picture,
you
can
see
there's
there's
new
windows,
so
they
actually
went
in
and
started
repairing
I
guess,
eight
months
into
it.
Yeah.
I
A
A
A
That's
going
to
be
ABC
IBC
wraps
around
this
building
with
parking.
This
is
caddy
corner
to
IBC
on
Scott
the
main
office
for
IBC
at
UC,
Bank
Petty
quarter
across.
E
I
know
this
is
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse,
but
I
would
like
to
see
I,
don't
know
how
much
if
you
do
go
through
the
process
and
it's
all
approved
and
you
get
to
do
what
you
want.
E
You
know
helping
iblc
out
at
the
same
time,
but
only
and
only
if
you
make
the
building
more
presentable,
yeah
well
so
I
would
like
I
said
it's
probably
put
in
the
car
before
the
horse,
but
I
know
you
have
to
spend
money
on
it,
but
you
know
maybe
some
having
some
sort
of
like
simple
artist,
rendering
or
something
to
see
what
you're
going
to
do
with
it.
I
mean
you
know,
we
approve
it,
we're
going
to
assume
that
you're
gonna,
you
know
beautify
Laredo,
right,
I,.
E
B
F
G
F
Don't
get
we
don't
after
the
fact
yeah
we
don't
know.
E
E
It's
just
we.
F
B
B
Well,
any.
H
More
questions
from,
let
me
make
one
Mr
Sherman
real,
quick.
You
were
right
about
the
Assumption
if
we
move
the
limits
and
we
and
we
cancel
the
the
setbacks,
you
can
always
come
back.
Remove
that
and
rebuild
at
the
limits
of
the
property.
Now.
H
Would
that
be
helpful
for
the
community
I
think
it
would
because
then
we'll
have
a
new
instruction.
Will
that
be?
Would
that
be
helpful
for
the
taxes?
Yes,
we
do
if
we
leave
it
like
that,
then
there's
no
use
for
the
building,
so
I
believe
that,
since
that
building
being
there
for
so
long
now,
without
use
by
his
own
words,
I
think
it's
time
that
we
give
them
a
chance
to
bring
it
up,
because
he
still
has
a
long
way
to
go
through
right,
which
I
I
personally
think
that
it's
going
to
be
hard.
B
D
I
also
want
to
add,
go
ahead.
Yes,
sir,
is
the
city
is
part
in
responsible
for
his
problem
because
he
gave
him
a
building
permit
and
he
started
to
do
the
work
he's
eight
months
into
it
and
all
of
a
sudden.
The
city
comes
to
himself
sorry
you're
out,
and
there
is
no
reasonable,
there's.
No
reasonable
use
for
the
land
number
one
and
number
two
is
the
only
thing
that
would
happen
would
be.
D
B
Go
ahead
and
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing
I
make
a
motion
as
a
close
public
hearings;
second,
all
in
favor
all
right.
Okay,
as
far
as
that,
I'll
entertain
the
motion
from
the
board.
What.
B
E
C
D
G
A
Have
that
we
do
and
I've
been
I've
been
talking
to
the
council
I've,
given
them
some
suggestions
so
that
we
can
fill
the
the
seat
this
and
that
way
we
can
go
ahead
and
have
an
election
so
I'm
waiting
for
them
to
nominate
somebody
so
that
we
can
get
that
done.
So
you
can
have
a
full,
let's
see
other
one.
Next.
