Friendswood zoning board grants variance for 1308 Thomas Drive, allowing 8-inch encroachment
Summary
After testimony from the contractor and neighbors and a staff report, the Friendswood City Zoning Board of Adjustments approved a variance allowing a structure at 1308 Thomas Drive to encroach roughly 8 inches into a platted 40-foot front-yard setback.
The Friendswood City Zoning Board of Adjustments voted Nov. 18 to grant a variance permitting a structure at 1308 Thomas Drive to encroach about eight inches into a recorded 40-foot platted front-yard setback in the Longwood Park subdivision.
City staff member Brian told the board a building permit had been issued for a garage extension and that the contractor later self-reported the structure exceeded the platted building line. Brian said the city had not completed a cover inspection and had not formally ordered work to stop; he advised the project remained on hold pending a compliant form survey.
