Planning and Zoning Page 1 of 1 Case #- PZ2023-297 Printed On- 7/11/2023 Jeff Goff ExceUoHornes 1Z45VVCardinal Dr Beaumont, TX777O5 7/6/ZO23 Board ofAdjustment City oYBeaumont City Hall 801 Main Street Beaumont, TX777Ol Adjustment - Geneva Huff currently resides in a house that is 60+ years old and was built at a time and in a neighborhood that was not covered bvcity ordinances. Asaresult ofthis, her house was built very close toLedetRd. Currently her home sits next tothe ditch that runs parallel toLedetRd. To access one of the front doors to her house, you must walk through the ditch or walk on the sloped ed�eofth�d\tchfor about 15feet. Geneva has been approved to have a new home built through the GLO Harvey program. Unfortunately, due to the exceptional narrowness of her lot, a new home will not f|1 within the setbacks now required bvthe city ordinances. Following the current setback requirements would result in a buildable area of only 15.2 feet by 70 feet (see attached survey). We are requesting a variance to the ordinance to allow the demolition of the current home so that anew GLOhome can bebuilt. Since the new home iswider than the buildable area, the new home would need avariance tothe setback requirements. Specifically, vveare requesting avariance to the front and rear setback requirements of 25 feet in the front and 15 feet in the rear. The new GU] home will fit with a front setback of 21.1 feet and a rear setback of 10 feet (see the attached site plan). Thank you for your consideration of this request.
