the same being 1809 Galveston Street. Virginia Cedillo, who lives at 1809 Galveston Street was
present. She speaks no English, so John Castro will translate for her. John Castro showed the
Board pictures of the property and a site plan of the proposed location of the carport on the
property. There was one response from the neighborhood received - it was in favor of the
request. Max Browning asked what materials would be used in the construction of the carport.
John Castro translated it would be a prefabricated carport. He said staff has no problem with the
requested variance. Max Browning said the carport would not make the property look crowded.
Fred Willis made a motion to grant the variance based on the positive response from the
neighborhood and this being the best logical placement of the carport. Richard Herrera seconded
the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
