SEEKING VARIANCE FOR: : Nagy & Margaret Shehad Locating a Garden Shed 16202 Creekview Court in front of residence Friendswood, Texas 77546 = 713-996-0111.. Facts-Sheet- . 1 BACKGROUND 1.1 We built house March 1994 on-one of two contiguous lots. 1.2 We strongly believe in.environment:_ 1.2.1 Our plans are to leave second_-lot_as wild life-refuge. . 1.2.2 We took extra care not to cut trees unless absolutely necessary. 1.3 We have increased the value of-property in-the area - we added $30;000 in landscaping alone. We have lost a big part-of our-.landscaping during the..flood.of-October 1994, and we have rebuilt it (see pictures.) _ 1.4 We have increased the overall appearance-of the area and cul-de-sac on which we live. It used to be a weeded ugly area_(see pictures:)People-now-come to see the plantings. 2 REGULATIONS - City Ordinance asks that the shed be_put behind=the house. 3 THE PROBLEM 3.1 We are in a Flood Plane. 3.2 As a result, we do not have an enclosed garage. 3.3 Maintenance equipment is left out-open'-to theft and corrosion from the elements. A brand new "Chipper" and other maintenance equipment were flooded or lost, and our safety escape raft was.stolen. Insurance did not cover because it is not enclosed. 3.4 The landscape/garden.that is maintained is in-the:front of the property..The rest of the property is naturally maintained: 3.5 The ground level behind the house is 2 1/2"to.3 feet lower than the front. 3.6 The shed is currently installed 2+ feet above-the-ground to prevent further flooding. To move the shed to the back and provide the same elevation, it has to be installed 4 1/2 to 5+ feet above ground which-makes-it impossible.to-access. 3.7 In addition, to move it to the back more trees_need to-be cut. 3.8 Also, moving the shed to the back could be-a security.hazard. Itwill be-more isolated away from the housing area and more prone to vandalism. In case of fire it.will be difficult to access because of the,-trees. 4 WHAT WE DID 4.1 In view of all the above we purchased a nice.looking.shed and placed it behind the tree line. We placed it so shortest side is toward the street and located it behind other plants. We feel as soon as the plants grow the shed will be completely blocked from view. 4.2 We believe it is in the.city's,neighbor's and our benefit to keep the building as is. cc: BOA Members - D.K.
