ZBA21-0017 SOUTHLAKE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF REPORT May 7, 2021 CASE NO: ZBA21-0017 PROJECT: 4488 Soda Ridge Variance to Minimum Side Yard Setback EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On behalf of Trevor Stitt, Black Door Renovation is requesting approval of a Variance to Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, Section 11.5.c requiring a side yard of not less than 20' on property described as Lots 9 and 13, Block B, Lakewood Ridge Addition (recently platted as Lot 9R, Block B, Lakewood Ridge Addition), an addition to the City of Southlake, Denton County, Texas and located at 4488 Soda Ridge Rd. and 4489 N. White Chapel Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "SF-1 A" Single Family Residential District. REQUEST: The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a Variance to Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, Section 11.5.c requiring a side yard of not less than 20' to allow the existing home and proposed additions as shown on the plot plan. The home appears to have been under construction or constructed before the property was annexed into the City in 1988. The existing home was constructed approximately 12' from the north property line. Two additions to the principal residence are proposed. One addition is to the south side of the existing home with a proposed side yard setback of approximately 15' (5' encroachment). A covered patio is proposed to be added to the rear of the home with a setback of approximately 17' (3' encroachment) from the north property line. ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing 1) Consider approval of a Variance ATTACHMENTS: (A) Background Information (B) Vicinity Map (C) Variance Application (D) Plans and Support Information (E) Surrounding Property Owners Map and Responses STAFF CONTACT: Richard Schell (817) 748-8602 Dennis Killough (817) 748-8072 Case No. ZBA21-0017 BACKGROUND INFORMATION OWNER: Trevor Stitt APPLICANT: Black Door Renovation PROPERTY SITUATION: 4488 Soda Ridge Rd. and 4489 N. White Chapel Blvd. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 9R, Block B, Lakewood Ridge Addition LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential CURRENT ZONING: "SF-1K Single Family Residential District. HISTORY: The following is the history of the property to the best of our knowledge and belief: - A plat for Lakewood Ridge Addition was filed in 1977. - The existing home on the property was built in 1988 (Source: DCAD). - The property was annexed into the City in 1988 and given the "AG" Agricultural District zoning designation. - The property was given the "SF-1 A" Single Family Residential District zoning designation with the adoption of Ord. No.480 September 5, 1989. - A Plat Revision (ZA21-0001) for Lot 9R, Block B, Lakewood Ridge Addition to combine Lots 9 and 13, Block B, Lakewood Ridge Addition was approved on February 23, 2021 and filed April 26, 2021. UTILITIES: A 12" water line exists in N. White Chapel Blvd. and an 8" water line exists in Soda Ridge Rd. to serve the property. City sewer is not available to the property. The existing home uses a septic system. DRAINAGE: An existing pond divides the property. Drainage from the east and west portions of the property is to the pond. STAFF COMMENTS: The Board may grant a variance from the literal enforcement of the zoning ordinance: a. Where the spirit of the ordinance is observed and substantial justice is done; b. Where the Board finds that granting the variance will not be contrary to the public interest, and; c. Where, due to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance would result in "unnecessary hardship." A hardship is considered "unnecessary" where the applicant demonstrates: 1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district; Case No. Attachment A ZBA21-0017 Page 1 2. That the literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance deprives the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district; 3. That the special conditions and circumstances that exist are not the result of the actions of the applicant; 4. That the granting of this variance does not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by the zoning ordinance to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district; 5. That the reasons stated in the application justify granting the variance and that the variance will be the minimum necessary to make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure, and 6. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.

(You may give the Section number and paragraph, OR you may DESCRIBE the REGULATION/REQUIREMENT.) Section 11.5 c-20'setback requirement 1 Case No. Attachment C ZBA21-0017 Page 1 VARIANCE APPLICATION ZBA CASE NO: Describe EXACTLY HOW, and TO WHAT EXTENT your request will DIFFER from the REQUIREMENTS of the ordinance, as described ABOVE. (Use REVERSE, or additional sheets if necessary.) We are building an addition to the existing structure, and we would like to encroach on the 20' South side setback by approximately 5'to fit the addition where it needs to go to be even with the existing house and avoid the water shed on the property created by the natural topography of the lot and surrounding property. Additionally,we would like to encroach up to 3'on the North side setback at the rear-right corner of the existing home to maintin a straight line with the existing home. Note that the existing home was built and platted with a 12'setback per the requirements at the time the home was built. In order for your request to be granted, the Board of Adjustment must case FOUR out of five votes in support of your application. In order for the Board members to vote in support of your application, you must prove several things by your application. Your application must clearly show that your property has UNIQUE CONDITIONS and CIRCUMSTANCES which separate it from other typical properties with the same zoning; and explain how these unique conditions and circumstances make it UNREASONABLE or UNFAIR Case No. Attachment C ZBA21-0017 Page 2 to apply the STANDARD ordinance requirements to YOUR property, unlike the way they are applied to all other properties. Describe the CONDITIONS and CIRCUMSTANCES which are UNIQUE to your property and situation: The variance requested is to accommodate the best layout for the addition given the extreme topographical challenges of the site as well as the existing layout of the home in order to allow the homeowners the same use of their property other people in the neighborhood enjoy. VARIANCE APPLICATION ZBA CASE NO: Explain why these unique conditions and circumstances make it UNREASONABLE or UNFAIR to apply the STANDARD ordinance requirements to your property: 3 Case No. Attachment C ZBA21-0017 Page 3 We cannot rebuild the existing home to eliminate the preexisting encroachment—that would be unreasonable.Additionally,the small setback variance on the south side would accommodate the topographical challenges on the lot, and without it, it would be difficult to achieve the desired floor plan VARIANCE APPLICATION ZBA CASE NO: Additionally, in order for the Board members to vote in support of your application it must be shown that the unique conditions and circumstances which you have described are NOT the result of your own actions. (Actions taken by previous owners and actions taken by your agents can be construed as"Your actions.") Can you explain how the unique conditions and circumstances affecting your property came to be,AND SHOW that they ARE NOT the result of YOUR OWN ACTIONS: See Attachment A Neither the preexisting nonconformity nor the topographical challenges are a result of our own actions. 4 Case No. Attachment C ZBA21-0017 Page 4 Furthermore, the Board must be satisfied that the variance you are requesting is the MINIMUM deviation from the terms of the ordinance NECESSARY to OVERCOME the unique conditions and circumstances which you have described. Explain how your proposal is the MINIMUM manner by which the unique conditions and circumstances described can be overcome: See Attachment A Both variances are the absolute minimum required to achieve the desired result. r_ Case No. Attachment C ZBA21-0017 Page 5 VARIANCE APPLICATION ZBA CASE NO: Also, the Board must be convinced that granting such a variance would not constitute an UNFAIR GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE to you, granting privileges that are otherwise denied by the ordinance. In other words, why would granting this variance be ONLY FAIR, and NOT MORE THAN FAIR, to you, since others are prevented from doing what you are requesting: These variances would be only fair, and not more than fair, because they accommodate the preexisting site and home's layout,as well as assisting us to achieve the desired floor plan based on the topographical challenges of the site. Finally, the Board must be certain your request is in harmony with the public welfare, and will not in any way be injurious or detrimental to your neighbors and their property rights.

ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT RULES OF PROCEDURE, Section 7.1 Any special exception or variance granted or authorized by the Board shall authorize the issuance of a building permit and/or a Certificate of Occupancy, as the case may be, for a period of one year from the date of the favorable action of the Board unless said Board shall have in its action approved a different period of time and has so shown such specific period of time in the minutes of its action. If the building permit and/or Certificate of Occupancy shall not have been applied for within said one year period or such extended period as the Board may have specifically granted, then the special exception or variance shall be deemed to have been waived and all rights thereunder terminated.
