50 Trevor Matheson, 902 Shadywood St., Southlake, Texas, once sworn in, requested that a
51 variance be allowed to the rear setback. Mr. Matheson requested the variance to build an
52 addition to the principal structure to be used as a pool house seventeen (17) feet from the
53 property line. He stated that the shape of the lot is irregular and that the addition would not
54 match the surrounding structures and would have a non - functional floor plan if built to the
55 standards required. He also noted that other neighbors have buildings that encroach on the
56 building line. Mr. Matheson stated that the addition meets all other building requirements. The
