Provide information to consider enter whether or not speaker approaching the subdim

speaker to approve the application so that discussion and vote may take request to be approved. So tonight is approved after any of the board of may working for St. Charles County number request. branch applic Overlay district 7.06 Also known as lotion location half mile of the intersection of branch court high near the city of Hill County District 1, partial account number T1820043.

Please raise your right hand. proceed. Okay. Reason being we have a I would say less than two acres of buildable 25 push it back. makes it almost impossible to build it. Yeah, I mean it's So that's the short of ite. What we're trying to do

building by 50 lane propertically. that we have kind of laid out. You have to put a found So very prevelopment plan that they provided us the general location of the building. for utilities. I don't think they're on the other side.

The interesting thing of this request is resist structure setback. Once it gets 25% of each has subject% have considerable amount but nothing% of what has flows directly which in this area I think branch and creek meet and kind of they're the main source of flooding in the event of a flood. Looking at this you say, "Okay, well that just looks like a standard lot off the end of you consider the topography and the septic system." You know, one of the reasons why he couldn't place any building in the rear yard is because that's where the septic system is in the drain field and they have their own setbacks that you have to uh to meet. So here's a view of the topography. I wouldn't necessarily there's ever there's really a gentle slope here. I think the even the front part drops pretty quick, but you can see

how severe that drop off is once you get about I think it's about 85 or 200 feet from the front property line that area in red, it's the flood. So theoretically you can bring in fill and build it up there. But you know with 3 to one slope and all the requirements for And then from a flood plane management standpoint, we shouldn't really encourage people to fill in the flood plane unless they absolutely have to. So here's just the variance criteria. Like I said, it's it looks like a traditional lot, but once you put factor in the flood plane, the vegetative buffers and topography, um there is some unique physical constraints that are specific to this property alone. The second one is this is not needed as a result of an affirmative act by the property owner. There's been no action taken. He hasn't built anything as far as no sight disturbance, no building permit has been applied for at the time. We didn't know if he reached out to the neighboring property owner. He said that he did. So that's not always feasible to obtain land. So we recommend a finding that he meets the second criteria. this be a special benefit to the property owner kind of like I said when you look at the lot it looks maybe normal but once you consider in all the conting only buildable area that he has to constru that exceeds the maximum of what's allowed by the ordinance actually fewund I believe under the required limit and then four is there practical difficulties. Yeah, there's practical difficulties with

everything that we stated. So, um staff finds that the applicant meets all four criteria for needing a variance and we recommend that the board approves this condition along with the following conditions listed there in the packet. Okay. Thank you. board member have any more questions received any written communications? No. All right, let's see who wants to make a motion. I'll make the motion. I will I will say technically it's kind of silly but you do have to open up the public hearing if anyone wants to speak. No, I thought I opened it when I or you have to invite anyone from the public to speak. Okay, that's why you're here. Is there anyone else hiding back there that wants to speak? I will now close the public hearing. I think we got to wait 30 minutes and see if anybody shows up. That's only he's got to say an extra 30 minutes. Okay. You got a motion you want to make, John? Yeah. I make a motion with any conditions or with the conditions stated by the county. All three conditions. Yes. Okay. I'll second it. All right. I not supposed to vote, but I have to. There's only four of us. So, we've unanimously approved. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry to have to make you wait sometimes. I came from live.
