Director of Community Services, John Castro, presented BA Case 1258, with the use of
transparencies and a video of the property. Mr. Castro stated that there were no
responses received. Mr. Hickman came forward and explained that the porch had been
added on to the house and he intended to attache the carport with 2 inch pipe. He
further stated that he planned to use rain gutters to direct the runoff away from his
neighbors. Whit Hunt expressed concern that it would not be free standing. Mr. Hickman
explained that he could leave a gap between the porch and the carport, but that would
allow rain to flow between. Ray Jameson said that sounded like a good place for a rain
gutter. Ray Jameson made a motion to grant the request of Bobby C. Hickman for a
variance of three (3) feet of the five (5) feet required side setback, in Section 32 of the
City of Plainview Zoning Ordinance for placement of a carport in a Residential-2 Zoning
