PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 23 . Responses in Favor . Responses in Opposition LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR ORDINANCE PURPOSES Being Lot 19, Block 8, Calder Place Addition, City of Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas containing 0.172 acres, more or less. 5-25-04 Dave and Bonnie Faul 601 21" Street Beaumont, Texas 77706 Planning Commission and City Council City of Beaumont Following we will provide general and specific information regarding a proposed two car garage apartment we want to construct. The current zoning, RS, requires we make application for a specific use permit for this project. We do feel that this is a good way to monitor any new construction of this nature in our neighborhood. We live in a well -kept, older neighborhood, Calder Place. This area overall has been very well maintained by its homeowners in the area and the "pride of ownership" is highly present. Homes in this neighborhood have extreme character and individuality. We have included an exhibit A to show that our request is not out of character within our neighborhood. Within a three to four block area around our home, we were able to find about ten similar structures (garage apartments and mother-in-law quarters) in the back of the main houses. The structure will be professionally monitored by Precision Construction, a local, registered and licensed contractor. The design will compliment our home located on the same site. The construction will be a 28'x 28' structure on a slab foundation. A two -car garage will be the purpose of the lower level. The upper level will serve as a one bedroom, one bath apartment with separate electricity. The sewer and water will be tied in to the current utility per city standards. The exterior will be composed of cement board siding with a composition roof. A sketch is also attached. The specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of other surrounding properties, nor diminish or impair property values in the immediate vicinity. The current one car garage will be demolished and will be replaced by the two -car structure. This will be more serviceable and more marketable, therefore increasing the value without impeding the normal and orderly development of the scarce vacant property. The current driveway will be serviceable but may be upgraded from a runner ner design to a solid surface. Either way, the drainage will grade towards 2 V Street as it does now. Other utilities will be adequate and serviceable. There will not be any permanent offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise or vibration We will have security and directional lighting that will not disturb or adversely effect neighboring properties. We are requesting that the current landscaping and screening be deemed sufficient. A 6'ft wood fence currently surrounds the north, south and west side of the proposed structure instead of the required 8'ft. The east side will be primarily screened by the rear of our house. Please be advised and assured that the proposed use is and will be in compliance with the comprehensive plan. We look forward to the approval as submitted decision, but will be happy to address any questions or concerns. Y urs truly, �Dave an Bonnie Faul Exibit "B" The following homes are just some located in our neighborhood within 3 to 4 blocks of our home @ 601 21 ".
