PROJECT: 605 Blair Court – SEU for Accessory Building Setback Reduction
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY:
REQUEST:
Ann Hambly is requesting a Special Exception Use, per Zoning Ordinance No.
480, as amended, Section 44.12(6) for a reduction to the required setback from
property lines for a residential accessory structure on property described as Lot
20, Block 30, Timarron Addition – Wyndsor Grove, an addition to the City of
Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 605 Blair Court, Southlake,
Tarrant County, Texas.
The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a Special Exception Use to permit
rear yard setbacks of approximately 2.5’ from the side property line and 6.5’ from
the rear property line when 10’ is required for an accessory structure.
The structure is existing and was constructed without a permit. The applicant
contends that the location of existing trees, pool, and topographical issues
necessitate the location of the structure. The setback reduction is approximately
75% of the required setback from the side property line, and 35% from the rear
property line.
The proposed structure is approximately 100 square feet and is approximately 7’ in
height.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing.
2)Consider approval of the requested Special Exception Use.
