Second item on the agenda: BA Case # 1503 The request of Hilario and Anita Mendoza
for a variance of four (4) feet of the required five (5) foot side setback as stated in Section 34 of
the City of Ptalnview Zoning Ordinance to cons~uct an oversized 12'X41' Carport in a Single
Family OK-2) Zoning District, and being Block 6, Lot 10 S8'-11, College Hill Addition,
Plainview, Hale County, Texas the stone being 906 l~xington Street. Anita Mendoza is present
to answer questions of the Board in regards to this case. John Castro showed the Board pictures
of the property and a site plan of the proposed carport along with a map showing property
owners within two hundred (200) feet of this property. There was one (1) response received
from the neighborhood in favor of the request. John Castro said the carport would be a pre-
fabricated one and even though the carport would be very close to the property line that drainage
should not be a problem due to the way the carport would be curved at the top. Anita Mendoza
said rainwater drains toward the driveway and not toward the neighbor's property. She also
showed the Board how the neighbor's garage overlaps onto her property. She said the carport
will be seven (7) feet tall and would fit as close, to the house as possible by fitting it underneath
the eave of the house. She said they may have to dig a trench just deep enough to bury part of
the base of the carport to enable it to fit under the eave of the house. Fred Willis made a motion
to approve the request based on the positive response bom the neighborhood and this being the
only logical place for a carport. John Bickol seconded Motion carded 4-0.
