TO: Board of Adjustment / City of Beaumont In regards to the application for a variance per section 30-25B concerning my single- family dwelling located at 11340 Edgewater (Pine Island Estates unit 1 LIO BLK 0 PT L8 BLK P TR 1). 1 am requesting a variance from the 25'minimum (dwelling to property line) requirement per Code section 30-25B due to the erosion of my rear property from the rise and fall of the Pine Island Bayou. The repeated result of this erosion process has damaged my rear yard to the point that my house is undermined and sinking. I have consulted several foundation companies and engineering firms which recommends this is the only alternative to save my dwelling. I would appreciate your consideration and help in resolving this issue. The attached site plan shows the present and proposed location of my dwelling if this variance is approved. This proposed site plan would only move my existing home approximately 51 into the 25" area also there is a wide easement and ditch before the street. My property is located at the end of a dead end street that adjoins the Big Thicket Preserve. On a personal note I was born in Beaumont Texas and am proud of our city and would like to be able to restore my home here. Edgewater Drive, in my opinion is one of the most attractive residential streets with Pine Island Bayou as a back drop. Please help my family continue to enjoy our home and neighborhood.
