Fiith item on the agenda, Case #1327, the request of Ted Noel on behalf of Jack Morris Ford for a variance of twenty- five (25) li~ ofthe required twenty-five (25) foot rear setback as stated in Section 34 of the City of Ptainview Zoning Ordinance to build a 24' x 185' canopy in a Commercial General Business (C-3) Zoning District, and being Lot 2 N15/1, Block 1, West End Addition, Plainview, Hale County, Texas and same being 1020 N. IH 27. To build a canopy along the back in the all~y, John Castro stated they had some trouble hDSng to define what we were doing here. To build a carport, you have got to have a primary building. Which there is nothing there but a vacant lot. A canopy can be built anywhere to protect property owners property. A canopy is any structure of a permanent fixed nature attached to or independent of a main structure. Any structure on a C-3 has to be twenty five (25) foot from any residential boundaries which is on the other side of the alley. The staff feels that it would be better served if they were granted the variance to go ahead and build the fence; attached the structure to it to afford them more protection for the vehicle parked there. They did receive six (6) yes responses. Mr. Noel stated that he would match it with Fuzzy's and that it would be the same or nicer. They plan to go up to ten (10) foot to the front on a slope. BUt the back of it is going to be eight (8)foot~ with the same cot6rs and trim, with no gates to go in and out of the back. The canopy wilt have a white top. If he has to move it up, to a chain link fence, its going to cost somuch more money. He is wanting to do it so th~ neighbors do not have no complaints. Cesar Cervantez mad~ motion to approvo this variance and Fred Willis s~onded. Motion Carried 4 - O.
