Agenda Items
1. Case A-04-004 - Request by Michael Deaton to enlarge a non-conforming use located at
8200 Precinct Line Road
City staff member Barry LeBaron presented this case to the Board and showed pictures of the
applicant's property and drawings of the proposed building expansion. Mr. LeBaron explained
that the current CC 1 zoning of the property does not allow for the existing cabinet shop, which
is a light manufacturing use. Mr. LeBaron stated that according to the Colleyville Land
Development Code, the current use is considered non-conforming with the current zoning and
may continue until the use goes away at some point in the future. The Land Development
Code further states that a non-conforming use may not be expanded unless the building
permit has been approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Mr. LeBaron stated that an
alternative would be for the applicant to rezone the property to the light manufacturing district.
However, that would require City Council approval and would perpetuate the existing use at
this valuable future retail corner.
Mr. Edwards stated that he has reviewed the building code issues with the applicant and sees
no problems with the proposed expansion.
Chairman McNosky opened the public hearing requesting those wanting to speak to come
forward.

The applicant, Michael Deaton, 8205 Lost Maples Drive in North Richland Hills, addressed the
Board regarding his proposed building plan expansion. He stated his company builds custom
cabinets for many new homes in the area, including homes in Colleyville. Mr. Deaton stated
they have a low impact on the neighborhood, since they seldom work on Saturdays and never
work on Sundays. Their employees go to the homes for measurements and no customers
come to their facility, so they generate very little traffic. They plan to remove a portion of the
existing building and replace it with a larger addition that will increase the size of the building
by approximately 2,800 square feet. They will primarily use the additional square footage for
storage of completed products. Mr. Deaton stated they plan to add some brick to the front to
match the rest of the building. They estimate the construction cost at approximately $78,000.
Chairman McNosky asked if there were any others wanting to speak in favor or against this
variance request. There being none, the public hearing was closed.
Butch Bercher moved to approve the variance request as presented, seconded by Ed Moore.
The vote being:
Ayes: Bercher, Davis, McNosky, Moore, Reynolds
Noes: None
Reports and Comments
Pat Davis asked the other members of the Board if they should request attendance of the City
Attorney at their meetings. Butch Bercher felt that they didn't need an additional person for advice
at this point, since there have been no problems in the past.
Adiournment
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 7:20 p.m.
