Variance
This variance is not contrary to the public interest because the home
will still be within the individual property lines.
The lot size is exceptionally smaller than average also shaped like a
triangle.
This request will fit the neighborhood by demolishing the existing
home that does in fact encroach on the neighbors property. We will
fit the new home more on the existing property line.

Re: Request for Variance at 2405 Tulane St, Beaumont, TX 77703
VVeare requesting avariance for the following homeowner and address:
Arthur Lee Harris
2405Tu|ameSt
Beaumont, TX777O3
We would like to build outside, of the setback lines in order to provide this citizen of beaumont with
improved living conditions. Due to the climesions of the floor plans, offered by the Texas General Land
Office Homeowner's Assistance Program and the irregular shape of Mr. Harris's property there is not a
floor plan provided that would fit within the setback lines of this property. Mir. Harris has already chosen
the smallest floor plan available due to his known lot restrictions. Not allowing the variance could cause
the homeowner to lose out on 1heGLQ Program and by default lose out on being made uvhmUe again
after the terrible tragedy that was Harvey.
The lot is atriangular shape with avery small buildable space. Please reference the attached proposed
Please allow us to provide Mr. Harris with a safe, energy efficient, and structurally sound new home.
Thank you,
Ashley Clark
