TO: Board of Adjustment
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for variances to the minimum side yard
building setback requirement from 7.5' to 5.24' and from the
rear yard building setback requirement from 10' to 7.84'
FILE: 661-BA
STAFF REPORT
Darran Dollarhide has applied for variances to the minimum side yard
building setback requirement from 7.5' to 5.24' and from the rear
yard building setback requirement from 10' to 7.84'. The property
st
is located at 1030 21 Street.
Mr. Dollarhide states that an original greenhouse building was built in
1953 when the house was built. The greenhouse was destroyed by
Hurricane Rita. Following a complaint of work being done on a new
accessory structure without building permits, the City made an
inspection on September 16, 2009 and found that a two story
accessory structure was being constructed without any permits and a
stop work order was issued. On November 21, 2009, another
inspection found work continuing and a second stop work order was
issued.
On May 10, 2010, the City sent Mr. Dollarhide a letter stating that
the structure must be removed within 15 days in order to comply
with the 2003 International Residential Code and the City of
Beaumont Zoning Ordinance. On June 16, 2010, Mr. Dollarhide
applied for a building permit to construct a one story accessory
building. That permit was approved subject to meeting the 5' side
yard setback and a 10' rear yard setback (which would keep the
building out of the easement).
In 2012, Mr. Dollarhide met with staff to discuss what he must do to
bring his building into compliance. At that time, he was informed
that he would need to get a license-to-encroach into the utility
easement and get variances to the rear yard and side yard building
setbacks. As part of the process, he got permission from Entergy to
locate his accessory building within the utility easement. However,
City Council must grant approval to officially encroach into the
easement.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
