A request for appeal has been filed with the Zoning Board of
Adjustments. The application requests that the building permits

Cross Timber Hills Addition, the property owned by his clients; Mr.
OR and Mrs. Swift, Mr. and Mrs. Higgins, Mr. and Mrs. Knuff and
go . Mr. and Mrs. Schnabel. The purpose of the appeal is that Mr.
Lemke was in the County and annexed into the City in October,
1987. At that time he had two (2) metal buildings on the property,
using them for storage of concrete supplies. Re-bar, forms,
equipment, etc. He feels we must determine three (3) items:
PRI 1) use on October 20, 1987.
2) what buildings were actually there on October 20, 1987.
3) they feel Lemke's intention is to expand uses for
OR other businesses if he is allowed to build the other
buildings.

Agenda Item # 3 Continued
Mr. Roberts stated, in order to be non-conforming, they cannot
expand uses but must be the same use.
According to Mr. Sorenson, it has been determined that the issue
of non-conforming use cannot come up before the Zoning Board of
00 Adjustments. The issue tonight is the issuance of building permits.
0" It was established that building permits were not required,
however, were issued as a formality for the city to be able to keep
records of the construction, for tax purposes, and to issue
1R addresses,etc. The city would not take any action if the building
permits were repealed. Mr. Lemke would be free to complete his
buildings.
Mr. Roberts presented a notebook to each Board Member, showing
exhibits of the facts surrounding the case.
NMI City Attorney, Betsy Elam stated the basis for not requiring
a building permits, is that the property falls under county laws, and
the county does not require building permits. When annexed into
the city, a nonconforming use was established.
04
do Mr. Roberts asked that the record reflect the following questions:
-am
1) In October, 1987 when Mr. Lemke's property was
00 annexed into the city, what was on the property at
that time in terms of existing buildings or
,o structures.
o 2) Aside from construction activities if any, related
to buildings, what was the property being used for
4M as of October 20, 1987.
3) In October, November, December 1987, following
No annexation, what use was being made of property.
4) Do you have any understanding of what the new
buildings, which are to be constructed, are to be
60 used for on the property.
5) As far as we can tell, not having gone through Mr.
AR Lemke's two existing buildings, was there a post
tension cable business on the property in October
20, 1987. Was there any indication of any wood
working shop in or around the premises on October
20, 1987.
6) In identification in looking at exhibits 8,9,10 & 11
of the photographs of the property, and the plan
of the exhibit 13 (survey), where were the two
buildings that did exist located on the property.

NOR Agenda Item #3 Continued
7) As of October 20;, 1987, where was activity going on,
on the property.
8) Looking at exhibit 13 (survey), was there any activity
on the property on October 20, 1981, at the areas
marked on the upper right land corner of exhibit 13,
forms for concrete, concrete pad and in the lower
left hand side, long rectangle marked forms.
Those are generally the questions that I would ask. To show the
two existing structures with activity in and around and no activity
in the other areas where the proposed structures were located, that
again, shows this body that the other structures are new uses.
Public Hearing
William Higgins- Lot 31, Cross Timber Hills
He received notice from the city indicating that they could voice
their views on this matter. They have not done this. He
referenced the notice to property owners within 2001, stating he
mailed back his notice, stating he wishes to elaborate the issues
of the building permits. He stated this is a disruption of life
style to many neighbors in the area. Lemke started working early
in the morning until late at night. Loud noises are disruptive to
small children. It is a property devaluation. He does not think
they are asking irrationally. They are presenting their views
because the expansion to five buildings would be much worse. They
were denied certain rights by law. They are here to present their
viewpoints.
60 Mr. Scoggans stated, he appreciated the views of the property
owners, however, the board must uphold the law.
on It is the opinion of the city attorney that the time for appeal has
I long passed as far as nonconforming use is concerned.
Jim Martin- 768 Bandit Trail, Colleyville
He attended all the annexation hearings and all through the
hearings it was stated that if there were "starts" or "contracts"
in progress, the property owners could go on with their plans.
He also stated that post-tension cable is part of the concrete
business.

Agenda Item #3 Continued
Mary Knuff- Lot 26, Cross Timber Hills Addition
In October, 1987, there were two buildings on the site, at that
d0i time there was nothing going on but storage of materials. The
buildings were for storage. After the first of the year,
"w construction started again with three pads being put in. Her
00 property does not abut, but it is hurting her as a homeowner. By
issuance of the building permits, he is going to lease the
buildings out. If that is not an expansion, it is a complete new
use.
Rick Knuff- Lot 26, Cross Timber Hills Addition
What is the reason for building permits in Southlake.
He does not know how the board can look at this as anything but
expansion.
John Swift- Lot 32, Cross Timber Hills Addition
He explained the pictures in the exhibits, as he wanted the board
to be aware of where the pictures were taken.
d0i Public hearing closed.
Motion was made to deny the appeal and not repeal the building
dw permits.
Motion: Wooll
am Second: Downard
Ayes: Wooll, Downard, Scoggan, Johnson and Sorenson
Nays: None
+A Approved:5-0 vote
60 Mr. Wooll comments, it is not that he does not feel for the
homeowners and he has dedicated a great deal of efforts to see that
the city can avoid these situations. He spent alot of time
making sure the city has the powers to annex and carry through the
annexation. He did not want to put people in these predicaments.
If he had his rathers, he would not put industrial in that corner
of the city. He is also a believe in the rule of law. He believes
in this case, that Mr. Lemke has followed the law and has
exercised his reasonable rights to his property.
lr
The other board members agreed with Mr. Wooll's comments.

TO: Board of Adjustment Members
r+r FROM: Karen P. Gandy, Zoning Assistant
SUBJECT: ZBA #66
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
ZBA #66 is a request by James V. Roberts, Attorney for John and Madelyn
Swift, Richard and Mary Knuff, William and Andrea Higgins, and Garry and
Nancy Schnabel to repeal building permits for five (5) buildings issued
r+ to Mr. Robert Lemke at 795 Randol Mill Avenue.
40 This appeal is very narrow in scope. City Attorney Olson states that the
issue before the Board of Adjustment is: "Were the building permits properly
issued?" Legal, nonconformity must.be assumed to apply to Mr. Lemke's
property and use and is not the issue.
There were nine (9) letters sent to property owners within 200 feet.
To date, only one (1) written response has been received. Mr. Higgins,
1384 Lakeview Drive, was in favor of repealing the building permits
.r due to violation of the zoning ordinances, noise pollution, air pollution,
complete disruption of normal use of dwelling, yard, sleeping habits, etc.

Sequence of Events Leading to Appeal
The Lemke property, west of Cross Timber Hills, was annexed into
the City in October, 1987.
Mr. Lemke built two steel buildings prior to annexation with
plans to build three more buildings for use in his concrete
low business.
-MOM After annexation, he tried to complete construction of the last
three (3) buildings and ran into obstacles.
.rr
The City required building permits in December, 1987.
"
"
-..d The City issued a stop work order in February, 1988 after
receiving City Attorney Boyle's opinion that the Lemke
Ilk" property was not a legal, nonconforming use.
' Mr. Lemke presented documents to the City that the (5) steel
buildings were contracted to be built in April, 1987 (six
months prior to annexation).
After further review, Mr. Boyle reversed his earlier opinion
in May, 1988. He stated that Mr. Lemke's property was a
legal, nonconforming use.
Immediately upon receiving this opinion, Mr. LeGrand, Zoning
official, informed Mr. Lemke that he could complete
construction but requested that Mr. Lemke make application
for each building but no fee would be required.
r.w The Cross Timber Hills residents filed suit and Mr. Lemke was
ordered by the court to stop construction.
Judge Auld ruled that he did not have jurisdiction in this
matter and that the municipal zoning ordinance had a specific
procedure to follow in order to resolve this type of
dispute.
The residents filed an appeal to the Zoning Board of
40 Adjustment; the Zoning Official responded that the 60-day
appeal period had expired and that the Zoning Board of
Adjustment could not hear the appeal.
1o The Cross Timber Hills residents then requested an appeal to
the ZBA in the case (#66) before you now.

WR s' . EXHIBIT
EXHIBIT B
Pursuant to Section 13.2(a) of the City of Southlake
Zoning Ordinance, the above listed tax paying citizens of
Southlake and affected surrounding property owners are
appealing the decision of the City of Southlake in regard to
the issuance of building permits to Mr. Robert H. Lemke for the
construction of certain buildings in the expansion of an
allegedly nonconforming use at 795 Randol Mill Road. The exact
date of the issuance of the building permits is unknown, but
they are believed to have been issued during the week of
May 30, 1989.
It is the position of Mr. and Mrs. Swift, Mr, and Mrs.
Knuff, Mr. and Mrs. Higgins and Mr. and Mrs. Schnabel
("Petitioners") that the construction of new and additional
buildings upon the property is an impermissible expansion of an
allegedly nonconforming use. The property was annexed into the
City of Southlake on October 21, 1987. At annexation, the
property was zoned "agricultural." At the time of the
400 annexation, two buildings had been constructed upon the
property and Mr. Lemke allegedly was using those buildings in a
non-agricultural manner.
Petitioners believe that Mr. Lemke intends to use the
new buildings to set up and begin the operation of a business
to prepare post-tensioning cable, which business will consist
+r~i
i
of cutting spool cable to appropriate lengths and attaching an
anchor to one of the cables. Petitioners further believe that
Mr. Lemke will begin and operate additional businesses in the
n+
buildings, or will rent the buildings to others.
wW At the present, the only use being made of the
property is the storage of forms used in concrete sidewalk,
0
street and foundation construction, lumber as is appropriate to
that business, and equipment related thereto. There is not
r
now, nor has there ever been, any post-tensioning cable
business on the property.
1 Petitioners object to the issuance of any building
permits to Mr. Lemke, as well as to any action, or inaction,
which, in effect, which will allow Mr. Lemke to use the
property in any expanded or additional manner.

SECTION 4 - NONCONFORMING LOTS, NONCONFORMING USES OF LAND,
NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES, AND NONCONFORMING USES
OF STRUCTURES AND PREMISES
4.1 INTENT - Within the districts established by this ordinance
or amendments that may later be adopted there exist lots,
structures, and uses of land and structures which were lawful
before this ordinance was passed or amended, but which would
be prohibited, regulated, or restricted under the terms of
this ordinance or future amendment. It is the intent of this
ordinance to permit these nonconformities to continue until they
are removed, but not to encourage their survival. Such uses are
declared by this ordinance to be incompatible with permitted
uses in the districts involved. It is further the intent of
this ordinance that nonconformities shall not be enlarged
upon, expanded or extended, nor be used as grounds for adding
other structures or uses prohibited elsewhere within the same
district. A nonconforming use of a structure, a nonconforming
use of land, or a nonconforming use of a structure and land
shall not be extended or enlarged after passage of this ordi-
nance by attachment on a building or premises of additional
signs intended to be seen from off the premises, or by the
addition of other uses of a nature which would be prohibited
generally in the district involved.
4.2 ~A-JS2"G''~ jyTt&T GXPERMITS - To avoid undue hardship,
this ordinance shall be deemed to require nothing in
construction, or designated use of any building or land hdevelop-
ment project for which a building permit was lawfully issued
i no more than six months prior to the date of adoption or
amendment of this ordinance. Construction on a building
permit issued
prior to the adoption of this ordinance must be
begun within six months of the adoption date and must be
completed within two years of adoption as under Section 11.4,
Expiration of Building Permit. Such permit shall not be renewed
or extended without all other conditions of this zoning ordi-
nance having been met. Actual construction is hereby defined to
include the placing of construction materials in permanent
position and fastened in a permanent manner; except that where
demolition or removal of an existing building has been substan-
tially begun preparatory to rebuilding, such demolition or
removal shall be deemed to be actual construction, provided that
work shall be diligently carried on until completion of the
building involved.
4-1
L■• 4.3 SIZE NONCONFORMITY OF LOTS OF RECORD - In any district in which
singlefamily dwellings or commercial buildings are permitted,
notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provision of this
ordinance, a single-family dwelling or commercial building and
customary accessory buildings may be erected on any single lot
of record at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this
ordinance where zoning under this ordinance is otherwise
proper. This provision shall apply even though such lot
fails to meet requirements for width or area, or both, that are
generally applicable in the district, provided that yard
dimensions and other requirements not involving area or width,
or both, of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the
district in which such lot is located. Variance of area, width,
and yard requirements shall be obtained only through action of
the City Council.
4.4 NONCONFORMING USES OF LAND - Where, at the
adoption or amendment of this ordinance, lawful cuseeofaland
f
exists that is made no longer permissible under the terms of
this ordinance as enacted or amended, such use may be continued,
so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following
provisions:
a. No such nonconforming use shall
be enlarged or increased,
nor extended to occupy a greater area of land than was
occupied at the effective date of adoption or amendment
of this ordinance;
err
b. No such nonconforming use shall be moved in whole or in
part to any other portion of the lot or parcel occupied
by such use at the effective date of adoption or amendme-
nt of this ordinance;
C. If any such nonconforming use of land ceases for any reason
for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months or for
eighteen (18) months during any three-year period, any
subsequent use of such land shall conform to the regulations
specified by this ordinance for the district in which such
land is located;
d. No additional building not conforming to the requirements
of this ordinance shall be erected in connection with such
non-conforming use of land.
~ 4.5
NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES- Where a lawful structure exists at the
effective date of adoption or amendment of this ordinance that
could not be built under the terms of this ordinance by reason
of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards, or
other characteristics of the structure or its location-on the
lot, such structure may be continued so long as it remains
WNW I otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions:
4-2
a. Such structure may not be enlarged in a way which increases
its nonconformity;
b. Such structure may not be altered in a way which increases
its nonconformity;
c. Should such structure be destroyed by any means to an extent
of more than fifty(50%) percent of its replacement cost at
time of destruction, it shall not be reconstructed except in
conformity with the provisions of this ordinance; however,
one family (single family) dwellings, as defined in Section
3.2.27, may be reconstructed in a way,which does not
increase its nonconformity from the original structure.
d. Should such structure be moved for any reason for any
distance whatever, it shall thereafter conform to the
regulations of the district in which it is located after it
is moved.
4.6 NONCONFORMING USES OF STRUCTURES - If a lawful use of a struc-
ture, or structure and premises in combination, exists at the
effective date of adoption or amendment of this ordinance, that
would not be allowed in the district under the terms of this
ordinance, the lawful use may be continued so long as it remains
otherwise lawful subject to the following provisions:
a. No existing structure devoted to a use not permitted by this
ordinance in the district in which it is located shall be
enlarged, extended, constructed, reconstructed, moved, or
structurally altered except in changing the use of the
structure to a use permitted in the district in which it is
located;
'rr
b. Any nonconforming use may be extended throughout any parts
of a building which were manifestly arranged or designed for
such use at the time of adoption or amendment for this
ordinance, but no such use shall be extended to occupy any
land outside such building;
c. Any structure, or structure and land in combination, in or
on which a nonconforming use is superseded by a permitted
use, shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the
district in which such structure is located, and the
nonconforming use may not thereafter be resumed;
d. When a nonconforming use of a structure, or structure and
premises in combination, is discontinued or abandoned for
six (6) consecutive months or for eighteen (18) months

content of the building as it existed at the time of passage or
amendment of this ordinance shall not be increased.
If a nonconforming building or portion of a building containing
a nonconforming use becomes physically unsafe or unlawful due to

authorized City official to be unsafe or unlawful by reason of
physical condition, it shall not thereafter be restored,
repaired, or rebuilt except in conformity with the regulations
of the district in which it is located.

or part thereof declared to be unsafe by any official charged
with protecting the public safety, upon order of such official.
4.8 USES UNDER EXCEPTION PROVISIONS: NOT NONCONFORMING USES - Any
use for which a special exception is. granted pursuant to this
ordinance shall not be deemed a nonconforming use, but shall
without further action be deemed a conforming use in such
district only for the single property granted such exception.
Any existing special use exception at the effective date of this
ordinance shall be considered a non-conforming use and shall be
subject to all terms of this ordinance relating to nonconform-
ing uses, unless the zoning classification under this ordinance
