Home My WebLink AboutZBOA Decisions 08/24/1982-Sunset & FM528 / y General Homes : City of Friendswood Friendswood, Texas Attn: Bobbi Henry, City Secretary RE: Request to be on the agenda for the board of adjustment meeting Dear Bobbi: As per City Council meeting of June 28, 1982, it is. my understanding that the City of Friendswood had granted General Homes temporary sign location variances due to the hardship created on Sunset. The City Council at that time stated that if we could find locations to place these "temporary signs" that it would be OK, and we would be granted the variances. One location at Sunset and FM 528 had been approved by Tmm N,anison (see attached letter) on a "tempora- y basis". The other locations that have not been approved yet are FM 528 and FM 518 -and FM 518 and FM 2351 for a "temporary sign". If this information is not accurate, please let me }mow what procedure to follow to obtain proper variance on these locations. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. ; Dan ico Wilderness Trails DC/pb Attachment cc: Frank McGuyer 1118 Castlewood /Friendswood,Texas 77546 / (713) 482-8329 J General Homes I July 1, 1982 Camp Manison P.O.

Henry DATE: August 13 ; 1982 SUBJECT: GENERAL HOMES SIGN ON FM 528 On August 2 , Dan Clerico of General Homes handed me the attached letter requesting a hearing before the Board of Adjustment for a temporary sign he has placed on Tom Manison' s property directing traffic to Wilderness Trails necessitated by street and bridge work being done by the City. _ Unable to find the section of the Sign Ordinance under which his appeal was being made , I called the attorney. He said there is no provision for placing any kind of sign except on the subject property, but since the Board has already granted a variance to General Homes to place signs at either end of Sunset directing the public to this subdivision , then he saw no reason why they should not also consider this request. He , reiterated, however, that none of these signs are provided for in the . ordinance. In the meantime, Dr. Jones had come in to register a complaint about the temporary sign stating that because of the hardship caused by the city' s street work he felt the directional sign was probably justified, but he insisted that the situation should follow procedure and be approved by the Board of Adjust- ment. j I called Clerico and asked him to come in and fill out a formal application and pay the fee required for a hearing. To date he has not done so. 4 FRIENDSWOOD ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTI REQUEST FOR HEARING ; NAME GENERAL HOMES - WILDERNESS TRAILS PHONE. :482=8329 ADDRESS 1016 W.
