Kerr, of 121 Imperial Drive requested a variance from the required slab height for an enclosed patio 4.SUBDIVISIONS Heritage EstatesSection Four which they are building at 121 Imperial Drive. Mr. Kerr stated that he had found out that he was in violation of the City Code because he had not poured his slab above the 100-year flood level. Mrs. North, then Building Inspector, referred him to the Planning Commission for a variance before issuing a building permit. Spears asked if he was running air-conditioning ducts to the enclosure. Kerr answered that he was not. Tirado asked what the use was to be. Kerr stated that it was to be a playroom. Kerr stated that the Building Department seemed to feel that an elevation was required, although Kerr feels that it is a patio and not covered by Flood Insurance. North was absent briefly at this point to answer a fire call. North stated that she was aware of at least one extenuating circumstance in this case, which was that after the flood of June, 1973, when all but about three houses in Imperial Estates Subdivision underwent repair work, only one home was required to obtain a building permit and that one home got a permit only after the neighbors became concerned that it was building too close to the property line. She objected to the Commission's taking action this evening because the item was not on the agenda since Mrs. Kerr had stated Sunday evening that they did not want on the agenda at this time. MOTION WAS MADE by Shore, Seconded by Phillips, that the requested variance from the requirement be granted because the structure was not of a habitable nature and not under the Flood Insurance Act. MOTION PASSED, 5-0-1. For: Spears, Raney, Phillips, Tirado, Shore. Against: North. Mr. James Gartrell was present to request final approval for Heritage Estates, SEction Four. In response to a question by Mrs. North, he stated that the final plans were the same plans as approved for Preliminary Plans. It was discovered by Mr. Gartrell that 1 Mr. Heaney had not signed the plat as approved.

Mr. Beyer asked about the possible uses of an approximately 20 acre rectangular section surrounded by Section Six and fronting on Friendswood-Link Road. FHA has required them to erect a fence around the peni1rileter of this property because there is no assurance of its eventual use. He was informed that the Commission has said that there shou ld be no Commercial in this area and that there should be a limit to the density if Townhouses were planned.
