Llano Board of Adjustments OKs variance to let homeowner site shed at rear property line
Summary
The Board of Adjustments approved a variance allowing a shed to be placed at the rear property line abutting an alley at 305 West College Street after a public hearing; the applicant said the alley is largely unusable and neighbors have similar structures.
The Llano Board of Adjustments voted to approve a variance allowing a shed to be placed on the rear property line abutting an alley at 305 West College Street.
The decision came after a public hearing in which the applicant, identified only as Bob, said the alley behind his property is largely blocked and unusable and that placing the shed at the back edge of his property would increase usable yard space. "My plan is to leave it a couple 3 inches from the actual property line," Bob said, describing a prebuilt shed that would be dropped on site.
Board members asked whether any part of the structure would be built in the alley; Bob replied it would not. He also described neighboring properties that have structures on their alley-side property lines and a retaining wall and fence that have rendered the alley largely unusable. No members of the public signed up to comment. After the hearing closed, a motion to approve the variance passed with an affirmative voice vote and no recorded dissents.
The approval grants relief from the city’s setback requirement for the rear property line abutting the alley; the council did not attach additional conditions in the hearing record. The board recorded the action as a formal approval without a roll-call vote included in the public transcript.
The variance applies only to 305 West College Street as presented at the hearing. The hearing record does not identify a recorded vote tally or the names of the motion mover and seconder.
