Ed Moore questioned the homeowner about the portion of fencing to be removed. Clayton
Husband provided a diagram of the current layout on the overhead screen and used red
lines for current and green lines for proposed fence lines. Mr. Steinberger responded the
portion of fencing to be removed would be reused to enclose the yard. There would be no

Kim Dellos~'~':;;;" " JI'efferson Circle, is proposing to construct a fence and is requesting
a variance to . the encroachment of the 30 foot building set back line adjacent to
Monticello Par ay. Mrs. Dellosso stated she has two small children and this proposal
would allow the children more space. The current back yard consists mostly of pool area.
This fence was approved by the Homeowner's Association by placing the fence 15 feet
from the street. Mrs. Dellosso would like to place wrought iron fencing with shrubbery
around the fencing. Mrs. Dellosso presented pictures to the Board of neighbor's driveway
stating there would be 6 or 7 feet for visibility for exiting the driveway. Across the street,
the driveway butts up against neighbors fence and their visibility is even smaller than what
we are proposing. We would be willing to work with our neighbors and could cut the corner

so that the visibility would be even greater. Mrs. Dellosso provided other pictures in other
neighborhoods that have even smaller visibility than we are proposing. Homeowners
Association said there was not a problem with the request; however the fence needed to
be wrought iron with hollies placed around the fence.

Ed Moore questioned Mrs. Dellosso if fencing would be an extension of the wooden fence
and if pillars would be used at the corners? Mrs. Dellosso replied if it is necessary, if not
necessary to use pillars then they would not. They are expensive but if that is goil1g to be
requested of the Board, she would do so. Ed Moore stated the pillars would obstruct the
visibility for the corner. Mrs. Dellosso stated it would be an obstruction.

to be in order to do the fence.

Skip Reynolds stated he did not suggest tabling the item, the problem that the Board is
having is not strictly procedural. Commented the holly bushes do not only get too tall but
also very wide and may create visibility issues later down the line and problems may arise
with the neighbors as to why this issue was not addressed. Iso stated he concurred

Skip Reynolds commented with the large number of signatures from the property owners,
some present to represent them, does not feel comfortable with this request. He stated he
does not feel that there is any animosity between the neighbors and Mr. Pushkoor, simply
a difference of opinion. He also stated with the issues of deed restrictions or Homeowner's
Association restrictions not being met even if the variance was granted tonight, it would not
resolve any issues over the entire problem and if this were to come back to before us, it
would be very significant to know the other problems that. an not deal with were
resolved ahead as far as deed restrictions or concerns Ighbors or Homeowner's
Associations.

AGENDA BRIEFING
Agenda Date:
Subject:
November 9,2004
A-04-012 - PUBLIC HEARING - Revised request by Kim Dellosso and Uton
Dellosos for a variance from the regulations of the Colleyville Land
Development Code to allow a fence to encroach the street side building
line on Lot 18, Block 3, Monticello Addition, located at 7810 Jefferson
Circle
Revised reQuest (11/09/04)
On October 18, 2004, Mr. Uton Dellosso submitted a revised request for a building line set-
back variance on their residential property located at 781 0 Jefferson Circle. You may recall
that the applicant's original request for a 300 foot side yard variance failed to receive the
statutory four affirmative votes of the Board at the October 12, 2004 Zoning Board of
Adjustment meeting. The applicant's revised submittal is includes a requestfor a 21.5 foot
variance from the set-back requirements on the side of the lot facing Monticello Parkway to
allow the construction of a new 6-foot tall wrought iron fence with brick columns fence on
the side of the house adjacent to Monticello Parkway. The lot is platted with a 30 foot
building line adjacent to Monticello Parkway.
The Dellosso lot is a corner lot, with a platted 30-foot building line on both streets. The
front of the house faces the wide portion of the lot adjacent to Jefferson Circle. Due to the
placement of the house on the lot, the rear of the house abuts the side property line of the
adjacent lot to the south of the Dellosso's property.
Attached is a copy of the letter from Mr. Dellosso, which further explains the applicant's
revised submittal. Mr. Dellosso has also submitted a list of examples of residential
properties with similar side-yard fencing situations.
Copies of emails and the additional correspondence received regarding this variance are
also attached,

SUMMARY & COMMENT COriainal reauest - 10/12/04)
Kim Dellosso is the owner of a lot located at the southeast corner of Monticello Parkway
and Jefferson Circle. Ms. Dellosso has applied for a building permit to construct a fence.
However, the fence permit application can not be approved, since the proposed fence will
encroach the 30 foot building set back line adjacent to Monticello Parkway. The owner is
requesting a variance to allow the encroachment.
The lot in question is a corner lot, with a 30-foot building line on both streets. The front of
the house faces the wide portion of the lot adjacent to Jefferson Circle. The owner
proposes to construct a new fence on the side of the house adjacent to Monticello
Parkway, which would expand the size of the back yard by encroaching into the side yard
adjacent to Monticello Parkway. The proposed fence consists of a 6-foot tall wrought iron
fence with brick columns at the corners of the fence. The fence would extend from the
edge of the house to the property line, and would enclose an area of 2,600 square feet. In
addition to the fence, the plan indicates a landscaped area adjacent to the fence. Since
the proposed fence would encroach the 30-foot building line, the applicant has requested a
variance to allow the fence construction. A diagram showing the proposed location of the
fence is attached.
The side property line of the house located to the south of the applicant's property abuts
the rear property line of the applicant's property, but the adjacent house faces Monticello
Parkway. The adjacent lot has a circular driveway with one of the entrances adjacent to
the rear property line of the Dellosso property. It is possible that the proposed location of
the fence could block the visibility for the circular driveway entrance, since the entrance is
located close to the property line.
If the back yard of the Dellosso property faced the back yard of the adjacent property,
rather than the side yard, the allowed fence setback would be different. In this case, the
Dellosso's could place the fence 15 feet from the side property line on Monticello Parkway.
Under the current property layout, the Dellosso's could only construct the fence at the 30-
foot building line, unless a variance is approved.
Section 3.26.D of the Land Development Code restricts the location and design offences
located in front yards. The regulations restrict the height of the fence to 30 inches, and the
fence must be constructed of not more than 25% solid construction. This regulation is
intended to prevent fences from blocking the view of motorists on adjacent roadways of
cars or people exiting the property,
Staff mailed notices to 17 adjacent property owners regarding the variance request. One
em ail has been received regarding the request, and a copy is attached.
CONCLUSION
It is the opinion of staff that special circumstances do not exist for this property.
Furthermore, staff is concerned over the potential for blocking the visibility of vehicles
entering or exiting the adjacent property from the circular driveway. However, the following
Agenda Item No.1 - Page 2
staff recommendation is based on the information currently available. Additional
information that may become available at the public hearing may effect or even change the
following staff recommendation.

Dear Mr. LeBaron:
is a request for reconsideration regarding our application for a variance
on our property located on Lot 18, Block 3, Monticello Addition with an
7810 Jefferson Circle. October 14, 2004 ColleyvilIe Zoning Board of
case number A-04-012.
on the East side of Monticello Parkway (our side yard) have a 30 foot
build line was established when the Monticello addition was built
the 1980's. The West side of Monticello Parkway has a 15 foot build line.
understanding from our HOA and neighbors that the original builder had the
to re-plat the East side of Monticello Parkway, but did not follow through
it at the time.
We (The Dellosso' s) would like to resubmit an updated plan to request a variance
for our planned fence. This updated plan has been discussed and is approved with
our neighbo~. Given our odd shaped unique property, we where left with no back
yard. We want to enclose part of our back and side yard with a fence. This fence
would provide a safe playing area for our 2 and 3 year old children. We bought dur
house almost 2 years ago. This house sat on the market for almost 2 years because it
has no back yard and varies greatly from the other homes in our neighborhood that
all have ample back yard room with fences. In our neighborhood, there are
numerous other homes on comer and side lots that have fences enclosing their back
and side yards with encroachments much greater than our request herein. We where
sold on the house because we had the foresight and vision to extend the fence out;
hence enclosing the back side yard into the back yard. The bank that sold us the
house even used this selling point with us. Also, we have been told by numerous
neighbors that the previous owners of our house had already received full approval
. . .\.late to a 25 foot encroachment.
.......................
October 19, 2004 - Del/osso
Page 2
We are requesting approval for a 6 foot wrought iron fence to border our back and
part of our side yard. However, if a shorter fence would be helpful in approving our
application we would be willing to go with a 5 foot fence that would then need
approval from our HOA. As we have observed, any fence smaller or larger would
not be aesthetically in-line with our neighborhoods landscaping. Also in-line
aesthetically for our neighborhood and in our plan is to have decorative Oak Leaf
Holly Bushes. These bushes where chosen because of their attractiveness and their
tendency to grow wide rather than up. We plan to have 21 of these bushes center 6-
feet from each other.
The distance we are requesting the variance for the fence is a 21 ~ foot
encroachment from our established build line. We have a 25 foot encroachment
approved by our HOA that is in compliance with our HOA's Covenants and
Restriction (C&Rs).
We feel that we are being good responsible citizens of Colleyville. We have spoken
to our neighbors, received permission from our HOA, and feel this fence addition
would increase the attractiveness of our house and neighborhood as well as the
value. We feel that special circumstances apply because we are in a neighborhood
with an average lot size of~ acre, of which all homes except ours can enjoy most of
that ~ acre. Weare unique in this neighborhood because of the lack of back yard,
but only because we are the only home in this neighborhood that hasn't enclosed
their back side yard. Numerous examples exist in our neighborhood and throughout
ColleyVille that have fences that border our streets much closer than what we are
asking for here and many of those fences throughout Colleyville where unapproved
fences.
Please find inserted into this letter a few pictures that show the area we wisb to
enclose with the fence. The planned fence is marked with orange cones, in the
attached pictures, showing the visual aspect of the requested 21 ~ foot
encroachment from the property build line.
Sincerely,
Uton Dellosso

Dear Clayton
We have met with the Dellosso's in regards to the above case and have agreed for the new wrought iron fence to
be constructed 18.5 feet from the curb. We have also agreed that the bushes being planted along the fence to
be maintained between 6-7 feet tall. We feel this agreement will be the best situation for both parties and will
allow the Delossos to have a much needed backyard while maintaining the safety and curb appeal of our
beautiful neigborhood.

Dear Clayton,
Re: Case # A-04-012
Our house borders Kim Dellosso's property and will be directly impacted by the 6ft wrought iron fence
proposed by our next door neighbors, While we support Kim's wish to build a fence on their side lot,
we formally object to it's proposed distance from the curb, which we have been informed is to be 10ft.
With the planting of hollies outside of the fence this distance will then be narrowed further to
approximately 5 ft from the curb.
For us, the closeness of the fence to the curb and it's direct impact to our driveway is a safety and curb
appeal concern for our house, It will block our view of the street in order to exit our driveway. This is
especially serious for us as we have small children who routinely ride bikes and need a clear view for
their exit. Additionally, the fence distance does not meet the current guidelines of the Monticello
Homeowner's association which is defined as 25 feet for Colleyville. These guidelines protect the
appeal and dimensions of the neighborhood and we strongly feel they need to be abided by. We will
support a wrought iron fence being built at a distance of20 feet from the curb. We feel this will
provide a win-win solution for all. Our request is that the fence be wrought-iron on all sides (the fence
alongside our driveway as well as the curb). We also want to ensure that the bushes to be planted
alongside our driveway be within the fence and not be planted on our property line.
10120/2004
Page:2 of2
We also understand that no request has been made with our Architectural Control Board by the
Dellossos for the building of this fence which definitely extends beyond the current C&Rs side yard
build line. Our understanding is that such a request needs to filed with the Monticello Homeowners
Architectural committee and asked to be informed when this takes place,

Dear J. Clayton Husband AICP:
As per your letter and I would like to provide my input to case number A-04-012.
I have spoken with the Dellossos and reviewed a copy of their survey plat. I feel that
their request is reasonable and in line with other properties in the neighborhood.
As a member of the Home Owner Association Board, I recently reviewed a request with
the President of the HOA and we approved the construction ofa similar fence to be
within the architecture requirements of the covenants and restrictions of the HOA. While
I am not familiar with the city requirements of this fence, after talking with Mr. Dellosso,
he assured me that he will be sensitive to the impact of the appearance to the subdivision.
So I feel he should be granted permission to proceed. Additionally, his plans to use a
professional landscaper, utilizing wrought iron fencing and complementary shrubbery
further assures me of his sincerity to work within the spirit of our C & Rs .
I therefore feel the request for variance should be approved.
Respectfully,

Subject: Dellosso, Kim and Uton - Case # A-04-012
Dear Mr.Husband,
We have received a second notice from the City of Colleyville regarding the Dellosso's request for a
variance to put up a fence (Case Number A-04-0l2).
My wife and I both attended the City's last meeting and were surprised that an approval was not given at that
time. There was a very similar case immediately preceding Kim Dellosso's presentation that did receive an
approval from the City Board. The details that I heard were very similar to the request subsequently asked for
by Ms. Dellosso,
The board members who objected did not seem to raise questions or objections prior to the Board Chairman
asking if anyone in the audience had any pros and cons to discuss. Since the Board has just approved a similar
request and gave no indication that they would disagree with Ms, Dellosso's presentation, the Board Chairman
then asked for a nomination to approve and second. I had even noticed one of the Dellosso's neighbors, Mr. Jeff
Walls depart the meeting room prior to the invitation for audience commentary. This indicated to me that Mr.
Walls must have been satisfied with the presentation just as my wife and I were pleased with what we heard.
The Board's disapproval left me somewhat confused. I'm a third party viewing the meeting. It would seem that
the members who had objections would have raised them as the project was being presented. They raised
questions and issues during the previous presentation that evening. Ms. Dellosso repeated over and over that she
and her husband were more than willing to adjust their plans in order to cooperate and satisfy any
objections.Ms, Dellosso's presentation was informative, not confrontational, and would seemingly have been a
good time for any objections or apprehensions to have been aired.
At the time that we attended the City's meeting, my wife and I thought it strange that questions were being
raised by Board members about the type of greenery or bushes that would be used. Prior to this meeting, our
Q~ighl:J!}.Lhood Homeowners Association had already approved the Dellosso's plan. I truly think that the
members of our neighborhood Homeowner's Board are much more familiar with the Dellosso's property and
how their plan will fit in with our Homeowner's goals for neighborhood beauty than the City Board.
My wife and I live directly across the street from the Dellosso's property,We have reviewed their plan and do
not have any apprehension about supporting their request. They maintain their property, both "in and out" as a
couple who take pride in their home. Their plan should add beauty to the neighborhood and also provide a safe
playing area for their two young children.
We are in favor of their proposed fence and landscaping as outlined in the Plan that they have submitted to the
City Board.
