The Zoning and Planning Commission of the City of West University Place convened
in special session at the City Hall, Friday,. May 15, 1981, 7:30 p.m., with the
following members present: Chairman Casey, presiding; members Abell, Allen and
Norton.
Notice of meeting was. posted in the City Hall on May 11, 1981.
Dr. William Attra, President, St.George Orthodox Church, statated that at the
time they appeared before the Commission concerning the rezoning of a portion of
their property they were unaware they had a problem with a screening fence on
the north property line.
(This property is described as Lot 1, Block 92, West University Place 2nd Addition.)
It .was explained that the lot as originally dedicated faces Bissonnet St. and the
plans for a remodeled meeting hall include a screening fence, or wall extending
beyond the main .building line. This is prohibited by the fence ordinance in the
front setback. They are asking the Commission to rededicate the lot to face Mercer
Sr. thereby locating the fence on the side of the lot in which the wall would not
be in violation. He stated that the sanctuary and the existing building which is
being added to and remodeled have faced Mercer Street for over ten years.
Members discussed the restructiog of a twenty foot setback on the south of the lot
which adjoins single family dwellings.
Motion by Mr. Norton, seconded by Mr. Abell, that
Lot 1, Block 92
West University Place 2nd Addition
be re-dedicated from facing Bissonnet to facing Mercer St. with the restriction
that there be a twenty (20) foot side setback requirement from the south property
line.

out on a special meeting and wished to thank all of the Commission members and all
others of the administration of the City of West University Place for their coope-
ration and help in solving the problems they have had in their remodeling project.
With no further business to come before the Commission, upon motion duly made,
seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned.
