Galveston Planning Commission
  by Drew Gilbert

The Galveston Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve a specific use permit in order to operate an auto repair facility in conjunction with a taxi service at 3410 Broadway. 

Jeffery Moore, owner of Jeff’s Cab Company, explained that the property would be used as a dispatch office and a garage to repair company vehicles. The permit also included a provision allowing for the construction of a 40 ft. radio tower on the property. 

“We are requesting that the tower is placed on the side of the building to minimize its appearance,” said Planning Director Wendy O'Donohoe.

The commission unanimously approved a request for a permanent license to use the city right-of-way in conjunction with the placement of a grease trap at 2519 Market Street.  

“I plan to open a coffee shop that will serve eastern European baked goods and light cooking,” said property owner Ladislov Klos.

The commission agreed to meet with representatives from the Texas General Land Office on February 11 to discuss the Beach Access Plan.

The commission voted unanimously to approve a request for a beachfront construction certificate to construct a single-family dwelling at 21107 San Luis Pass Road.

The commission deferred a request for a permanent license to use the city right of way in conjunction with the placement of an esplanade at the entrance of the Cedar Lawn Subdivision between 45th Street and Cedar Lawn Circle East.

The commission deferred a request for a beachfront construction certificate to construct a single-family dwelling at 21103 San Luis Pass Road.

All other requests were unanimously approved.

Patricia Bolton-Legg, Terrilyn Tarlton and Cornelia Harris-Banks were absent.
