Chairman Jon Hendricks opened public hearing at 7:07 p.m. Mr. Hendricks read the reason for Board
meeting.
Mr. Jeri provided a brief description, and timeline for the building of the structure. The Building
department was notified about an addition without a permit at 320 Elam Drive in May 2020. The City
Building inspector visited with the property owners and issued a notice informing them of permit
requirements. A permit application was submitted for this project by the property owners in June 2020
and a building permit was approved and issued shortly after submittal.
Mr. Garza, property owner, explained the history and the timeline for the building of the structure. The
structure was built in May 2020. The City inspector was contacted by the HOA regarding the structure.
The city inspector then informed the homeowners to secure a city permit after the structure was
completed. Mr. Garza applied for a permit, and was given a permit by the City. Mr. Garza submitted an
initial drawing and was told by the City it was not in compliance. Submitted a 2"d drawing for plan review
and was told the structure was in violation of the rear setback of 25foot. After speaking to the city staff in
development, Mr. Garza was told by the City he could apply for a variance.
The Board Members held a discussion and requested additional information from the Property owner
regarding the following:
1) When was the home purchased?
2) How this structure will affect future homes?
3) Will it cause drainage issues?
4) Who did the drawings and the homeowners' background in building?
5) If a variance is granted, how will it hurt the adjacent property in the future?
Mr. Garza explained that the house was purchased in 2014. He also added that he has been involved in
construction for many years and he drew and prepared the drawings for submittal. This addition should
not have any impact; such as drainage on the adjacent properties. However, Mr. Garza said they are
planning to install a rain gutter system on the entire house.
Consider and act on variance request regarding 320 Elam Drive (Northpointe Crossing, Phase 1 North,
Block G, Lot 4) pertaining to 7' of encroachment to an addition (attached covered porch) with the depth
of 15', built within the rear setback of 25'.
Mr. Jon Hendricks stated the structure itself is not going to have any adverse effect on any house around.
Water run-off could be a problem in the future and that's reason for setbacks.
