Item 8 - Variance Letter July 28, 2017 City of Southlake 1400 Main Street Southlake, TX 76092 RE: Variance Request (ZA17-055) Dear Southlake Mayor & Members of Council, The existing Mughlai Indian Cuisine restaurant, located at 3311 E. HWY 114 is seeking to add an awning covering to its existing patio space. The material of this awning will be compliant with current fire code section NFPA 701, and the patio wi ll be sprinklered per requirement of the Fire Marshall. Presented herein is a request for variance to Zoning Ordinance No. 480, Section 43.9.c.1.e Zoning Ordinance No. 480, Section 43.9.c.1.e requires exposed structural support columns to be constructed of, or clad in, the same masonry material as the principal structure. We are requesting a variance to allow the columns for the patio awning cover to be prefinished painted metal as shown on the elevations. Masonry cladding is somewhat disproportionate to the thin metal tube framing, and better suited to larger canopy structures. Thank you for your consideration.
