Rather than set forth these points in detail, I simply refer your attention to that- section of the ordinance. I am sending a copy of the- ordinance j to Norwood Homes to the attention of Mr. Don Lindsay and a request that he prepare his written application with these exceptions in mind.

Cline Administrator for Zoning Ordinance City of Friendswood 109 Willowick Friendswood, Texas 77546 Dear Mr. Cline: Subject: Request for Variance in Friendswood Ordinance No. 132 (Quakers Landing, Section II) When Norwood Homes, Inc. developed Quakers Landing, Section I, the rear build- ing line set-back requirement was ten feet. At that time, the Quakers Landing brick and wrought iron entry fence was constructed on that building set-back line. Friendswood Ordinance No. 132 now requires a 25-foot rear building set-back. Norwood Homes is requesting that a variance to the ordinance be granted so that we can continue the fence along the same ten-foot building line parallel to Clearview Avenue. Norwood Homes, Inc. guarantees full compliance to Section II, 3, a, Subsections (1) , (2) , (3) and (4) of the above-mentioned zoning ordi- nance. Any consideration given this matter will be highly appreciated. Sincerely yours, 0-y'-'f Charles D. Lindsay 7/ Engineer jd _ r�* .. .' .. � . ,�.
