State Fann ells Life From: Rocky Chapman State Farm Agent 4438 Dowlen St. 103 Beaumont, TX. 77706 To: City of Beaumont Planning Commission, and The Beaumont City Council 801 Main St. Room 210 City Hall Beaumont, TX. 77701 Dear Sirs, I am writing this letter in request for a SPECIFIC USE PERMIT to build an office building in Beaumont, Texas. A site plan is attached. As requested, I am providing answers to the eight conditions that must be met, before a specific use permit can be issued. 1. The specific use of this property as an office building will be compatible with the other property in the area because commercial buildings or multi -family housing surrounds the property. The property bordering the north side of the property is presently occupied by Service Merchandise, and the property bordering the south side of the property is currently occupied as a day care center, behind the day care center is an apartment complex. The proposed office building is to be a brick veneer building built to city code and will be an added value to the residents of the area. This building will increase property values of the surrounding properties. 2. There is no vacant property surrounding the area of the proposed property. 3. The existing utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary supporting facilities have been provided and are adequate. Any other facility to comply with city codes will be provided at the time of construction of the proposed office building. 4. All driveways and parking spaces have been carefully thought out to provide a safe and convenient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In no way will the driveway and parking facilities adversely affect the general public or the adjacent development. I feel the design of the parking area and the entire building will have only a positive effect on the entire area. The people entering and exiting the property are not only my clients, but also my friends and I want my office to be not only convenient, but also safe. 5.The operation of an office building will not produce any offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise or vibration. During the construction phase there may be some dust and noise, but only the ordinary results of construction. The construction will be done in accordance with all city codes and requirements. 6. All lighting will be installed so as not to disturb or adversely affect neighboring properties. The design of the building will provide for safety lighting and minimal exterior lights. 7.Landscaping is incorporated in the design of the building. I want to build a professional office, and I feel landscaping is an important part Fiann Sells Life Insurance. State of the professional appearance of a building. The landscaping of the adjacent property will be taken into consideration in the planning process to insure harmony and compatibility to the adjacent property. 8. 1 feel this proposed use is in accordance with the comprehensive plan because the comprehensive plan designates this area as a stable/neighborhood growth unit. An office building would fall into the category of stable/neighborhood growth.
