CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF MR. & MRS. LARRY PIKE, FOR A VARIANCE OF THE
PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN A SINGLE FAMILY ZONE AT 708 FAYETTE
Chairman Sims explained the rules of public hearings and opened the
public hearing. Mr. Larry Pike, 708 Fayette, Euless, presented his
request for a variance of parking requirements in a single family zone
to allow the required parking spaces to be located within the required
front yard. Mr. Pike stated that he had enclosed the garage to be
used as additional living space not realizing that parking
requirements and building permits were required.
Mr. Pike went on to state that if he were required to follow the
current parking requirements, he could build onto the west side of his
home; however several old trees on the neighboring property would be
effected.
Chairman Sims called for other proponents to this request at which
time Mr. Everett Herda, a neighbor living at 712 Fayette, stated that
he felt the garage enclosure had improved the look of the Pike
property and the neighborhood. He and his wife were very much in
favor of this variance request.
Chairman Sims called for other proponents or opponents, there being
none, he closed the public hearing and called for discussion among the
board members.
