Planner Schell presented the case to the Board, stating that the variance requested would allow
for a rear yard setback of twenty (20) feet instead of the required minimum of forty (40) feet due
to a hardship caused by a drainage swale.
The applicant, Ray Mulholland, 4380 Saddle Ridge, Southlake, Texas, once sworn in, stated he
is requesting a variance to allow the placement of an accessory building approximately twenty
(20) feet from rear property line. The applicant would like to maintain the drainage swale and not
disturb the natural run off.
Vice -Chair Lambert verified that the applicant owns both lots 38 and 39 (on the Surrounding
Property Owners map). Planner Schell stated that the parcel data has not been updated and
that the lots have been platted into one lot. Vice -Chair Lambert questioned the placement of the
existing accessory building on Lot 11 (on the Surrounding Property Owners map). Planner
Schell explained that Lot 11 was platted before 1977 and that the proposed building would meet
all current zoning requirements except for the rear setback. Board Member Andrews asked if
the drainage swale is required by the City. Planner Schell confirmed that it is not and that it is
not in a drainage easement. Board Member Venesky questioned the placement of the building
in accordance with the adjacent accessory building. Planner Schell verified that the proposed
location is within regulations.
