Votes at a glance: Board of Adjustment approves flagpole and Guatacoma variance; no action on Gunther setback request
At its meeting, the City of New Braunfels Board of Adjustment recorded the following outcomes: the alternate sign plan for Black's Barbecue (CS26-0262) was approved with conditions (vote recorded by roll call as yes from all members called); a variance for an accessory structure at 307 North Gunther Avenue (ZB26-0009) received no motion and therefore was not approved; and a height variance for a two-story accessory structure at 31 Guatacoma Drive (ZB26-0010) was approved by roll call.

Summary of actions:

- CS26-0262 (936 Loop 337, Black's Barbecue): Motion to approve 60-foot pole and U.S. flag up to 96 sq. ft.; mover: committee member; second: Member Quidley; roll call vote: yes (unanimous). Conditions: only official U.S. flag may exceed standard size up to 96 sq. ft.; remove abandoned pole sign.

- ZB26-0009 (307 North Gunther Ave): No motion made; board expressed concerns about locating a permanent structure on the property line and suggested the applicant revise plans to move the structure inward.

- ZB26-0010 (31 Guatacoma Drive): Motion to approve the requested height variance as presented; mover and seconder recorded; roll call vote: yes (unanimous). An earlier conditional motion (to keep the main dwelling at its current height) failed to receive a second.

The meeting concluded with the chair adjourning the session.
