Friendswood Drive Friendswood, TX 77546 Dear Board Members, The Friendswood Zoning Ordinance is quite specific in most measurement requirements. However, the maximum height restriction does not indicate where, or how, a building's height is to be measured. Does one start measuring from the ground adjacent to the slab, or bottom of the front porch steps, or top of the back patio, or top of the driveway, or a fixed point such as the finished floor elevation?That was the dilemma I recently faced while applying for a building permit for my house. Without a written guideline, the building inspector chose arbitrarily to measure from the top of the driveway adjacent to the front porch to the highest point of the roof above the main ridge which measures 38'-8". The other critical issue is the relationship of finished floor elevation to existing grade. The slab elevation was set 8"above the city's `lowest floor elevation requirement' which in this instance is a minimum of 3.80 ft. above existing grade. I do not wish to place the driveway on three or more feet of fill only to achieve a shorter height measurement. Therefore, I am seeking relief by asking you for a variance in height restriction on this house to a maximum of 39 ft. Although other homes within the subdivision appear to exceed 35', the building inspector indicated your decisions are on a case-by-case basis and not by precedent. I believe that my request is not contrary to the public interest as witnessed by the San Joaquin Estates Homeowner's Association approval of the plans prior to submittal to the building inspection department. I also contacted the Fire Marshal's office. Mr. Terry Parker told me, after reviewing the plans with the building inspector, that this issue was of no concern to the Fire Department. Attached are two reduced copies of relevant drawings for your reference. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Dennis James i i i i Date: 10/24/96 TO: Mr. and Mrs .
