04/09/26 - Board of Adjustment Meeting

The City of Stephenville Board of Adjustment held a meeting on April 9, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request related to landscape buffer requirements for a property at 957 Fry Street. The applicant, Mr. Bristo, sought a reduction in the required 20-foot landscape buffer adjacent to residential properties, proposing a smaller buffer of 7.5 to 12.5 feet on certain sides to accommodate parking and building placement. The board discussed the site plan, buffer compliance, and landscaping commitments, including privacy fencing and shrubbery. After public hearing and deliberation, the board approved the variance request contingent on adherence to the presented site plan and landscaping commitments, with staff tasked to ensure compliance during site plan review. No direct procurement, contracting, or budgetary decisions were made during this meeting.
