4. Administrative Comments: Richard Schell, Principal Planner, announced that there were no
submittals for the September 12, 2019 meeting, so the next scheduled ZBA meeting will be on
September 26, 2019.
5. Consider: ZBA19-0008, Special Exception Use per Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section
44.12(1) for a domestic employee or family quarters and Special Exception Use per Ord. No.
480, as amended, Section 44.12(7) for an accessory building located forward of the principal
building on the lot on property described as Tract 9 (also referred to as Lot 9A), Airpark Estates,
an addition in the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 1000 S. Peytonville
Ave., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District.
Planner Schell presented details of the case with a slide show presentation to the Board. The
applicant, Robert Leeper, is requesting approval of a Special Exception Use per Ord. No. 480,
as amended, Section 44.12(1) for a domestic employee or family quarters and a Special
Exception Use per Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 44.12(7) for an accessory building
located forward of the principal building to allow an approximately 3,200 square foot domestic
employee or family quarters in an approximately 4,712 square foot accessory building located
forward of the principal residence in the approximate location of an existing accessory building.
The application requesting a Special Exception Use per Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section
44.12(2) for accessory buildings or structures of a size or aggregate size greater than that
permitted is not required. The maximum accessory building area in the "SF-1A" Single Family
Residential district is 3% of the lot area or 4,000 square feet, whichever is less. Three percent of
the lot area in this case is approximately 6,418 square feet. On June 18, 2019, City Council
approved Ord. No. 480-ZZZZ, which, among other changes, amended requirements for
Domestic Employee or Family Quarters so that the gross inhabitable floor area does not count
toward the sum total of all accessory building area. Since the gross inhabitable floor area in this
case is 3,200 square feet of a approximately 4,712 square foot accessory building, only 1,512
square feet of the building will count toward the sum total of accessory building area. The sum
total of accessory building area requested is approximately 1,512 square feet plus an existing
approximately 338 square foot cabana for a total of approximately 1,850 square feet. The
existing accessory building that is forward of the principal residence was approved by the
Zoning Board of Adjustment on April 29, 1999 with the approval a Special Exception Use for
accessory buildings of a size or aggregate size greater than that permitted. The existing
accessory building is proposed to be removed to allow construction of the new approximately
4,712 square foot accessory building feet in approximately the same location.
Chair Medici opened the public hearing and called upon the applicant or the applicant's
representative to make such comments and present evidence as the applicant should desire.
Robert Leeper 630 E Southlake Blvd, the applicant, once sworn in, presented testimony and
answered questions from the board.
Chair Medici asked if there were those in the audience who wished to speak in favor of the
request.
There being none, Chair Medici asked if there were those in the audience who wished to speak
in opposition to the request.
There being none, Chair Medici closed the public hearing and opened the item for discussion
from the Board.
