PUBLIC HEARING: BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
CASE NO . 21 , REQUEST OF MRS . DOROTHY
EDGE FOR ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF
OCCUPANCY FOR A MOBILE HOME
Chairman Hobbs opened the Public Hearing
on Zoning Board of Adjustment Case No. 21 to consider the request of Mrs.
Dorothy Edge for appeal of the Building Inspector's decision to deny issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy for a mobile home to be used for servants ' quar-
ters on Tracts 1D1 and 1E1 , J . Groves Survey, Abstract 599.
Mr. Jack Bullard, City Inspector, stated
that Mrs. Edge's request for a Certificate of Occupancy had been denied because
it is in violation of City of Euless Zoning Ordinance No. 347, which recognizes
the mobile home as a special form of housing, subject to specific standards pro-
vided in Section 7, Articles 7-900 through 7-924 of that Ordinance.
City Secretary Vada Ferris introduced a
letter from Doctor V. L. Jennings & Associates , Inc. dated June 15, 1971 , in
which Doctor Jennings stated that he opposes the granting of this Certificate
of Occupancy.
Mrs. Edge stated that the property involved
consists of approximately twenty-five (25) acres -- that her husband is ill and
in the hospital , and she desires this mobile home for use as servants ' quarters .
She advised that there are two (2) wells and three (3) septic tanks on the
property, and there would be no problem as far as tying in the water and sewer.
Mrs. Edge stated that she has talked with Doctor Jennings , and he does not
oppose one mobile home on a tract, but he is opposed to Mobile Home Parks.
She commented that the mobile home would be located quite a distance from
111111, 4110
(Page Two, Minutes of Called Meeting, Zoning Board of Adjustment, July 22, 1971)
the highway and would probably not be seen by most people.
Mr. Widner inquired concerning the time
involved, asking Mrs. Edge how long the Certificate of Occupancy would be needed.
Mrs. Edge replied that she has no idea --
that, possibly it would be for one year, however, she is unable to say definitely.
Chairman Hobbs closed the Public Hearing
on Board of Adjustment Case No. 21 , advising that the Board will consider the
case further before making a decision. (Members of the Board adjourned to the
Conference Room at this time.)
Mr. Widner moved that the Certificate of
Occupancy be granted for one year. The motion died for lack of a second.
Chairman Hobbs made a motion that the re-
quest be denied.
Mr. Noonan seconded the motion, and the
vote is as follows:
Ayes : Messrs. Hobbs , Noonan and Hochleutner
Nays : Mr. Widner
After a brief discussion, Mr. Widner requested that his vote be recorded as
"Aye".
Chairman Hobbs declared the motion carried by unanimous vote.
(Members of the Board returned to the Council Chambers.)
Chairman Hobbs announced that the Zoning
Board of Adjustment has denied Mrs. Edge's request for issuance of a Certifi-
cate of Occupancy for a mobile home to be used for servants ' quarters on Tracts
1D1 and 1E1 , J. Groves Survey, Abstract 599.
Mrs. Edge thanked Members of the Board for
their consideration and requested a letter stating the Board's decision.
