Planner Schell presented the case to the Board, stating that the Special Exception Use
requested would allow construction of accessory buildings or structures of a size or aggregate
size greater than permitted to construct an approximately 252 square foot cabana, which when
added to the area of an approximately 484 square foot garage that exists on the property,
exceeds the 600 square feet allowed by the zoning ordinance for accessory buildings by
approximately 136 square feet.
The applicant, Mike Folts, 604 Trailhead Drive, Southlake, Texas, once sworn in, stated that he

person that built the house, therefore, since it was not his design originally, there is no other
place to put the cabana on the property that would make sense.
Board Member Venesky asked if part B of item #1 on the findings that the Board must make in
order to grant the special exception use is specifically permitted by the zoning ordinance.
Planner Schell confirmed that the accessory building and use are permitted by the zoning
ordinance and that the only exception is the size greater than permitted.
Chair McCaskill asked City staff to clarify that the only issue is the square footage and that there
are no issues with setbacks. Planner Schell stated that the particular zoning only requires a
setback of 10 feet from a property line in the rear yard and that this building is way over that as
far as the setback provided and it also meets the height requirement of 14 feet.
Board Member Andrews stated that the request meets the requirements and that the only issue
is the size and noted that no owners around the property or the HOA have any problems with
the request.
Chair McCaskill stated that all notifications submitted are In Favor of and Planner Schell
confirmed that was correct.
A motion was made to approve ZBA -633.
