Description
This is a zoning case. The City of Waco, in 1947, adopted a new comprehensive zoning ordinance under the provisions of Arts. 1011a to 1011j, inclusive, Vernons Ann.Civ.Stats. In January, 1951, the Building Inspector of the City of Waco, acting upon the advice of the City Attorney, granted the request of Arthur Alagood for a designation of the property located at 3601 Bosque Blvd. as a valid, subsisting, non-conforming use, and further advised Alagood to the effect that he would issue a building permit to effect minor repairs to the property provided the repairs did not violate the zoning laws of the City of Waco. W. R. Holt and V. D. Rowton seasonably notified the Board of Adjustment of the City of Waco that they were dissatisfied with such decision and asked that the Board review and reverse the decision and declare said premises as being in the second residential district without non-conforming use under the zoning ordinance. The Board took jurisdiction of the matter and set it for hearing on March 28, 1950, at which time all the members were present, and there appeared attorneys for W. R. Holt and V. D. Rowton, and attorneys for Alagood, as well as attorneys for the City of Waco, at which hearing a court reporter made a stenographic report of the proceedings before said Board. The Board "affirmed the decision of the Building Inspector designating the structure and premises located at 3601 Bosque Blvd. as a valid and subsisting non-conforming use, and affirmed the decision of the Building Inspector to grant a permit to Arthur Alagood to repair the building located at 3601 Bosque Blvd. in accordance with the building code and the zoning laws of the City of Waco." Rowton, by virtue of a writ of certiorari, brought these proceedings to the 74th Judicial District Court for review. Holt did not join therein. The district court affirmed the decision of the Board and Rowton perfected his appeal to this court.
