REQUEST
DETAILS:
Carroll ISD is requesting approval of a Variance to Masonry Ordinance No. 557, as
amended, for one portable building at Johnson Elementary School. This request is
associated with a request to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) for approval of
a Special Exception Use (SEU) for one portable building approximately 24’ x 64’ in
size containing two classrooms to be heard at the April 14, 2016 ZBA meeting.
The request is for a three (3) year period beginning with the 2016-2017 school
year lasting through the 2018-2019 school year. Zoning Ord. 480, Section
44.12.5.c, pertaining to ZBA approval of an SEU for portable buildings, requires
that portable buildings have a masonry façade meeting the requirements of the
City’s masonry ordinance. Masonry Ordinance No. 557, as amended, requires that
all buildings constructed on property zoned O-1, O-2, C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, B-1, B-2
or CS under the City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance shall have all exterior
walls constructed using a masonry material covering at least eighty percent (80%)
of said walls, exclusive of all windows, doors, roofs, glass construction materials,
or sidewalk and walk-way covers. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow
light gray metal siding extending from the skirting around the base of the building
upward to the roof line. The request letter also mentions a waiver of the permanent
foundation requirement. The portable building must be tied down to meet the
building codes and satisfy the requirement for a permanent foundation. Approval of
the requested Variance is subject to Zoning Board of Adjustment approval of the
Special Exception Use for the portable building.
ACTION NEEDED:1) Conduct a public hearing
2) Consider approval of a Variance to the Masonry Ordinance
