Block 1, Brewer Addition, an addition to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and
located at 615 Brewer Street, Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. Current Zoning: 'SF-113" —
Single Family Residential District. PUBLIC HEARING
Planner Rothenberger presented details of the case with a slide show presentation to the Board.
The applicant, Samuel Wiford, is seeking approval of a Variance to Zoning Ordinance No. 480,
as amended, Section 39.1, requiring a fence not exceed eight (8) feet in height. The applicant
is requesting permission to permit a fence that is approximately (9) nine feet in height. The
request is being made retroactively, as the fence was constructed prior to a permit being issued.
The applicant contends that due to topography changes on both the subject and surrounding
properties, as well as the public uses found on a neighboring property, unsightly esthetic
aspects would be better buffered by such a fence.
The applicant and owner, Samuel Wiford, along with Sandra Mills with Ebby Halliday, once
sworn in, presented testimony, and answered questions from the board.
Chairman Medici asked if there were those in the audience who wished to speak in support of
the request.
There being none, Chairman Medici asked if there were those in the audience who wished to
speak in opposition to the request.
There being none, Chairman Medici closed the public hearing and opened the item for
discussion from the Board.
A motion was made to Table case ZBA22-0001 to the April 14, 2022, meeting
