First item on the agenda is BA Case #1274
The request of Travis Thornton on behalf of Gene McLain for a variance of five (5) feet
of the required eight (8) feet side setback as stated in Section 34 of the City of Plainview
Zoning Ordinance to build a carport in an R-1 Zoning district, and being Lot 14, Block 2,
of the Day Addition, Plainview, Texas the same being 1506 Dallas Street.
John Castro presents this case, the car port will be on the left side of the house. They
are requesting five feet of the required setback. The carport will be the length of the
house and no variance is required for that. It will be 11 feet and 8 inches wide.
Mr. Thornton is asked to come and present his case.
The reason for the request is the property being to the north was not wide enough for the
8, setback which would have put the car port post in the middle of the drive way. It will
not be attached to the house, it will be a free standing struCture and will not go over the
property line. It lines up with the fence. There is a gate in the corner so Gene McClain
can park under the car port.
Motion made by Fred Willis to grant the variance.
Second by Betty Gonzales.
