The meeting was called to order at 7:34 p.m.
by Lanny Tate, acting chairman.
Board of Adjustment Case #57 was a request by
Mr. Thomas Longley of 3464 Southlake Park Road
(Lot 5, Block 1, Southlake Park Estates) to be
granted a variance to the front and side yard
III setbacks as platted in the City of Southlake.
This recorded setback was twenty-five (25) feel.
Three (3) letters were sent to property owners
within 200 feet. Two replies were received,
all in favor of the variance.
Mr. Longley was represented by his attorney, ZBA CASE
Mr. Wayne Olsen of Reynolds Shannon Miller #57
Blinn White and Cook in Fort Worth.
Mr. Olsen established that the lot in question
was the original platted lot. Mr. Longley
purchased the property in 1976 with the exist-
ing house and extended foundation intact. The
lot is, extremely sloping in the rear. The
property is located at the end of the street,
do not obstructing any neighbors' view. The con-
struction would add to the area rather than
detract from it. To comply with the ordinance
and be forced to tear down a nearly completed
addition would cause Mr. Longley a severe fi-
nancial hardship.
Bill LeGrand established that the zoning was
Agricultural and the subdivision was considere
legal, non-conforming since it was platted in
+rr 1958 or 1959.
Mr. Barcus questioned that if the variance wer
granted would it remain with the property if i
were sold. Mr. LeGrand confirmed this.

There was discussion on the road to Mr. Long
ley's property. Questions: Was the road full
extended at this time? Was it dedicated to
the City? Would the City build a cul-de-sac
in the future? Was Mr. Longley's retaining ZBA CASE
wall in the street? Mr. LeGrand said it was #57
a City street but that the City probably had
no intention of any improvement to it and
would assess the property owners if any im-
ad provements were to be made.
Mr. Tate asked Mr. LeGrand if the members
granted the variance could Mr. Longley meet
the City's requirements otherwise. Mr. LeGr d
responded that Mr. Longley could with some
arcus x cork.
Schantz x Motion was made to grant the front and side
x yard variance as requested by Mr. Longley.
