HOUSING LIMITED
RESOLUTION NO. R89-206
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLAINVIEW,
TEXAS, GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
BY ALLOWING THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ON THE WEST SIDE OF
MESA DRIVE, SOUTH OF 13TH STREET, PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF
THE PLATTING PROCESS.
WHEREAS, the City of Plainview is aware of the need of
additional apartment style housing units in the City of Plainview;
and
WHEREAS, Plainview Housing Limited is desiring to construct an
apartment complex on the West side of' Mesa Drive, South of 13th
Street; and
WHEREAS, unnecessary delays could cause additional requirements
to be placed on the project which could cause it to be cost
prohibitive to construct; and
WHEREAS, the subdivision regulations of the City of Plainview
requires all subdivision or platting of property be completed prior
to issuance of a building permit; and
WHEREAS, the normal time required to complete the subdivision
process and the building permit approval would create an unnecessary
hardship preventing financing of the project; and
WHEREAS, Jerry Wofford, on behalf of Plainview Housing Limited,
has requested a variance be granted from those regulations, due to
the need to immediately permit the project and prevent costly delays
in the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City
of Plainview, Texas, in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance,
wherein the City Council may grant a variance to the regulations
imposed by the Ordinance, when a provision of the regulations would
cause unnecessary hardship if strictly followed, that Plainview
Housing Limited be granted a variance from the requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance, so a building permit may be issued for the
construction of an apartment complex to be built on the West side of
Mesa Drive, South of 13th Street, subject to Plainview Housing
Limited's agreement to comply with all subdivision regulations as
well as all other City codes and requirements which would affect the
proposed apartment complex. In as much as this property has unique
drainage problems, the City Council also recognizes the need for the
developers of this property to take steps to take care of off-site

drainage before construction is started. The variance granted by
this Resolution is not a waiver of any of the requirements placed on
the developers by the City nor does it waive any rights the City may
have in regards to the project, but is to permit the issuance of a
building permit prior to the completion of all the requirements of
the Subdivision Ordinance. This variance also requires that
provisions for off-site drainage must be made, and plans for such
prepared by a qualified engineer and approved by the City, before
any construction may begin on the project. No above ground
construction can be commenced until the platting process is
completed.
Passed and Approved this day of , 1989.
