City planning staff presented the Patel application and recommended approval. Staff told the board the lot-size rules for the single-family 7.5 zoning require a minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet and a minimum lot width of 75 feet; the applicant proposed four lots below that width and one at 76.15 feet.

“Presenting case variance case 25Dash02. Applicant, mister Patel. This location is 706 Bethlehem in the city of city of Terrell. The applicant is requesting the variance from section 18.4 dash 8 a 0.2 of the city zoning ordinance,” the city planner said. “This 1, the staff also recommends to grant, the variance.”

A written opposition regarding grading and drainage from Rebecca Womack was noted in the file. The board asked whether drainage concerns would be addressed; city staff responded that grading and drainage plans are reviewed by engineering and the building department at plan submittal and that the lots “can't create more of a watershed to cause issues for neighbors.” The planner added that drainage will be addressed at the time of building permits.

After discussion the board voted to approve VR25-02; the transcript records an approving vote and the chair’s statement that the motion to approve was approved.

The approval allows the owner to replat 706 Bethlehem as proposed but does not replace required engineering or building reviews; city staff said drainage and grading will be handled through permitting and engineering review.","The board unanimously approved a variance allowing a replat at 706 Bethlehem into five lots, four narrower than the 75-foot requirement; city staff said drainage and grading issues will be reviewed during building permit review.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6217999,"Terrell ZBA approves variance to split two East Nash lots into three over board objections",991,469000,1460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3636134-a90dffb426f91dca2cf1386fb2383b9e&start=469&end=1460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3636134-a90dffb426f91dca2cf1386fb2383b9e/thumbnail_469000.jpg","/articles/6217999/Terrell/Kaufman-County/Texas/Terrell-ZBA-approves-variance-to-split-two-East-Nash-lots-into-three-over-board-objections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6217999-f25164e5d219b02e5096ca9f80105565/orig.mp4?Expires=1775713898&Signature=POGlJFFoXJjL14103x6a-SdxyRiGM95cAbFsC8MJplRVCvCOq72Pxwz5BUEKA08edJBIifADeBTXXiSFP9zqK2XKosWA-t~YKBr~3gDOuGukpbXnKvKptc65SjCzsICzdiLbc7VtsinL3PUDzFgY3O1YlhbL2w5aq1YDP5HlKk-B1I1x8xCi~MyyXV8TXRXDV9eyMBfStLzoEeOAMBEaULPvX~0uDv2MaJ-YdMweTaEqSrivz-6E1DghgqkhqvR~zMQp757tQ8qSkKGVLp8eKHXz3gzf7zzL24QW3i3ZxuHGIe0ptSD~OvxARxGoH8xJ5u9VNQ2PE2-AaO1~-E25gw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Terrell Zoning Board of Adjustments voted 3-2 June 2 to grant a variance that will allow two parcels at 905 and 903 East Nash Street to be replatted into three lots with a requested lot width of 53.5 feet each.

The variance was requested to Section 20.2 (townhouse/single-family requirements) of the city zoning ordinance that sets minimum lot-size and lot-width standards for the zoning district. City planning staff presented the case for applicant Santiago Aguilar and recommended approval.

“Applicant is Santiago Aguilar. Location, 905 East Nash Street, City Of Terrell…This applicant is requesting a variance to section 20.2 dash a 0.2 of the zoning ordinance,” the city planner said. The planner added, “The staff recommends the granting of this variance to each lot.”

The board discussion centered on whether the applicant had shown a qualifying hardship. One board member questioned why the owner would split two lots that currently could be developed into two homes and then seek a variance to create a third, calling it a “self imposed hardship.” That member told colleagues: “It becomes a self imposed hardship when you're combined when you're splitting those 2 lots up to get 1 extra home.”

City staff responded that the properties, as proposed, would still have to meet the applicable building-zone standards and setbacks under the 7.5 zoning designation. The planner told the board the proposed homes would meet side- and front-yard setback requirements unless the builder later seeks a separate setback variance.

After discussion, a motion to approve the variance passed on a 3-2 vote. No individual board member names were recorded in the meeting transcript for the motion, second or individual votes beyond the tally.

The variance will permit the property owner to create three narrower lots at the East Nash address; staff noted the existing zoning standards the lots must meet during future permitting. The board did not record additional conditions tied to the approval in the hearing.","The Terrell Zoning Board of Adjustments voted 3-2 to grant a variance allowing two lots at 905 and 903 East Nash to be replatted into three narrower lots. Staff recommended approval; several board members questioned whether the applicant had demonstrated a hardship.","actionData","errors"]
