Mr. Dale Mathis and Mr. D. P. Pate, Real Estate Representatives, Marketing De-
partment of the Continental Oil Company, appeared before the Board relating
the fact that their company desired to change the plans of a proposed service
station at the southwest corner of Kirby Drive and Bissonnet Street from those
originally submitted to the city and on which a variance of the setback re -
quirements was approved after a public hearing was held on October 22, 1962
Mr. Mathis explained that the revised plans ~a11 for a pump island to extend
8 feet and canopy 13 feet into the setback on Kirby Drive and a pump island to
extend l~+ feet and canopy 18 feet onto the setback on Bissonnet. He stated
that the revised plans were designed to appeal to traffic on both streets by
giving the appearance of fronting on both streets and for maximum safety and
visibility, along with conventional ingress and egress... It was their opinion
that the revised plans would be more desirable both from appearance and
safety than the ones heretofore approved by the city and for which a permit
has been issued.
Motion by Mx'. Lott, seconded by Mr. Hilton, that the Board recommend approval
of the request of Continental Oil Company for permission to construct a
service station at the corner of Bissonnet and Kirby, with the pump island
to extend 8 ft. and the canopy 13 ft. into the setback on Kirby Drive and a

Mrs. N. A. Eley, 3902 Amherst, verbally advised the Board that she had re-
moved a one car garage which was located in back of her residence and
fronting on College Avenue and desired to construct a l8 x 18 ft. carport
on the same building line on which the garage had existed. She stated that
the Building Inspector would not issue a building permit for reason that
the garage had been constructed approximately 3 ft. from the property line
and if the carport was constructed to conform with a 5 ft. setback require-
ment, the present concrete slab could not be utilized and it would necessitate
removal of an existing fence and utility pole which is located in the area.
Mrs. Eley presented pictures of the site which indicated the existence of the
fence and also that the newly remodeled J.M.H. Store on College and Milton
was immediately south of her property and recently an addition was made to
the store building which appears in the picture to be within a few inches of
the property line.
It was brought out in the discussion that the proposed carport would not be
attached to any structure nor enclosed on any side and would be placed on the
back of the lot, utilizing the existing concrete driveway which formerly
served as entrance to-the one car garage,which was torn down because of its
bad state of repair. In order to conform to the existing driveway, the pro-
posed upright supports would need to be placed approximately 3 ft. from the
back lot line which would be about-the same location on which the garage.
had existed.
The Board recognized the fact that the carport, if permitted to be con-
structed as requested by Mrs. Eley, would be placed within the 5 ft.
setback requirement; however, other garages on the adjacent lots appear
to be approximately 3 ft. from the rear property lines and the J.M.H. Store
building appears to be on the property line. In view of these facts,- the
following action was taken:
Motion by Mr. Hilton, seconded by Mr. Jones, that the Board recommend ap-
proval of the request of Mrs. Eley for permission to construct a carport
on the rear of her property to front on College Avenue, with the upright
supporting posts to be placed along the same building line on which the
previous garage was located in order to conform with the existing driveway.
Voting Aye: All No: None
With no further business to come before the Board at this time upon motion
duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting was adjourned.
