Item 4F - Variance RequestSouthlake City Council

RE: 2850 Brookwood Ln — Variance to Subdivision Ordinance No. 482
To Whom This May Concern,
We are writing this letter as a request for a variance to the requirement of 5' sidewalks in
Subdivision Ordinance No. 482. We are building a home at 2850 Brookwood Ln and love the
country feel of the neighborhood. Recently, the blacktop roads were all patched and nicely
striped. When we received feedback on our permit requiring the 5' sidewalks, we were
surprised as no one else on our street or the lanes branching off our street have sidewalks. If
we put a sidewalk on our lot, it would not only look strange but would not be practical. As we
would be the only ones with a sidewalk and there would be no continuing sidewalk on either
side of us. It will also force us to unnecessarily cut trees to accommodate the sidewalk which
we would like to avoid. We would like to keep the country feel of the neighborhood and really
hope you will grant us the variance to not require the 5' sidewalk for our lot.
I've included some photos of our street, showing the neighboring lots and no sidewalks. Please
let me know if I can provide any additional details.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Hassan Sheikh & Asma Tahir
