Item 6A Department of Planning & Development Services S T A F F R E P O R T October 15, 2008 ZA08-097 CASE NO: Site Plan for Perimeter Fencing – White’s Chapel Cemetery PROJECT: REQUEST: White’s Chapel Cemetery Association is requesting approval of a Site Plan for the construction of a perimeter six foot (6’) ornamental iron fence with six foot (6’) stone columns along two sides of the existing White’s Chapel Cemetery. The cemetery is located on approximately 2.3 acres at the southeast corner of E. Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709) and S. White Chapel Boulevard. The proposed fence will run parallel to F.M. 1709 to the north and S. White Chapel Blvd. to the west, extending along the southern property boundary approximately eighty feet (80’) east of White Chapel Boulevard. Site Plan approval is required to allow for a variance to the articulation requirement for architectural fencing along F.M. 1709. The proposed fence encroaches into the right-of-way for F.M. 1709. Approval from TxDOT is required prior to construction in the right-of-way. VARIANCE REQUEST: Zoning Ord. No. 480 Section 43.9.c.1.f requires that all fencing along F.M. 1709 shall not run in a straight line without being off-set by a minimum of six feet (6’) every sixty feet (60’). Due to the limited area between the right-of-way and the cemetery, the applicant is proposing that the fence runs in a straight line. 1. Conduct public hearing ACTION NEEDED: 2.
