Zoning Board of Adjustment Minutes
September 8, 2015
Mr. Carrocci replied that the fence would be a minimum of 10 feet
from the sidewalk. Board member McNosky clarified the placement of
the proposed fence. Mr. Carrocci stated that his house is within the
30-foot building line.
Ms. Nusser questioned the Carrocci’s whether the site plan for
consideration accurately portrayed the request. Mr. Carrocci stated
that revisions had been submitted but the site plan being considered
is not the most recent version. Ms. Nusser stated that the site plan
being considered is the only one staff had received. The Carrocci’s
stated they did not have a copy of the proposed site plan that was the
correct version.
Discussion continued regarding potentially continuing the item to
allow for additional time for staff to work with the applicant to review
what the applicant would like to propose for the fence placement. Mr.
Carrocci stated that he anticipates replacing the existing wood
retaining wall and replacing it with a stone retaining wall. Discussion
continued regarding where the fence placement was being proposed.
Board member Kainer questioned the timing of the retaining wall
replacement. Mr. Carrocci stated between December and February.
Mr. Elms stated concerns regarding unanswered questions regarding
what is being proposed and the timing of the retaining wall
replacement. Board member McNosky suggested continuing the item
until the questions are resolved and staff can review the appropriate
documents to send to the Board for consideration with additional
information.
Mr. Carrocci stated that he would like to install the fence to enjoy his
property. Board member McNosky questioned Mr. Carrocci if he
would like to provide additional information at the October meeting.
Mr. Carrocci stated that continuing the item would be acceptable.
Keith Seawright, 6609 Glenhope Circle North, came forward and
spoke in opposition.

closed at 7:18 p.m.

of the subdivision. Abra Nusser stated she did not have that
information readily available. Board member Elms stated he believed

fronts Glenhope Circle North.

property.

Board member Orlando questioned staff regarding why their
recommendation did not follow the 30 foot build line. Abra Nusser
replied due to the topography of the property and the retaining wall,
it would not work.

closed at 7:31 p.m.

Title
Request for a variance to certain provisions of Section 3.24.G Schedule of District
Regulations of the Land Development Code on Lot 3, Block 1, of the JT Lake Addition,
located at 3701 Cliffwood Drive, Case VC15-012
Explanation
The applicant, Christina Hill of Chi Designs, is requesting a variance to the minimum
side yard setback requirements in the R-15 – Single Family Residential District at 3701
Cliffwood Drive (Lot 3, Block 1 of the Woodbriar Estates West Addition). The applicant
intends to construct an approximately 530 square-foot addition to the existing,
attached garage on the south side of the subject property. The proposed garage
addition would be approximately one foot from the southern property line. The
proposed structure would be constructed with similar façade materials as the existing
residence, and composition shingles matching those on the primary residence.
Existing Conditions and Zoning: The subject property is currently platted and
developed with one single family home and an attached garage. The property is zoned
R-15 Single Family Residential and is surrounded by single family residential homes,
also zoned R-15.
Proposed Variance:
Request – The applicant is requesting a variance to the minimum side yard setback for
the R-15 zoning district as defined in Section 3.24.G of the Land Development Code, to
allow for a minimum side yard setback on the southern property line of one foot versus
the required 10-foot setback. The existing structure on the subject property is
currently in compliance with this regulation. The applicant has stated in the submittal
letter that the setbacks and existing pool in the rear of the property make the
proposed location of the garage addition “the only sensible site for the garage to be
attached, therefore making more space to store his vehicles and clean up the
appearance from the street.”
An application for a building permit to construct the garage was submitted in June of
2015 (BLD1506-115), and the permit was approved based on the information provided
to staff that reflected an inaccurate location of the southern property line. Following
the release of the building permit and the commencement of construction, staff
learned of the side yard encroachment from the applicant, and the building permit was
Zoning Board of Adjustment Agenda Briefing 3a
City of Colleyville Page 2
revoked on September 22, 2015. The variance request is in response to the revocation
of the building permit. Due to the history of the records for the project, an updated
survey showing existing property features and the property line was required and is
provided with this item for reference.
Ordinance – Chapter 1, Section 1.16.E.10 of the Land Development Code authorizes
the Zoning Board of Adjustment to grant variances where the literal enforcement of
the provisions of the ordinance would result in an unnecessary hardship, and where
such variance is necessary to permit a specific parcel of land which differs from other
parcels of land in the same district by being of such restricted area, shape or slope that
it cannot be developed in a manner commensurate with the development permitted
upon other parcels of land in the same district. A modification of the standards
established by the ordinance cannot be granted to relieve a self-created or personal
hardship, nor for financial reason only, nor can a modification be granted to permit any
person a privilege in developing a parcel of land not permitted by the ordinance to
other parcels of land in the district.
Analysis – The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship on the subject property
since a garage expansion would be self-imposed. The granting of the variance could
adversely affect the property to the south. Although the neighbor to the south has
signed a letter of support provided by the applicant, future construction of accessory
structures, fences, and other features could be restricted should the variance be
granted.
Public Notification: Staff mailed notices to 14 property owners within 200 feet of the
site. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star Telegram as required by state law
and the Land Development Code. Staff has received no correspondence regarding this
request.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the existing conditions on site, staff does not
recognize a hardship with regard to the construction of an expansion to the existing
garage. Therefore, staff recommends denial of this request.

November 19, 2015
3701 Cliffwood Drive, Colleyville, TX 76034
Formal Letter:
This letter is to describe the variance request and the hardship that exists on the property.
We are here to request a variance from the required 10 foot side yard setback to allow for a 1’-3’ side
yard setback. There are already setbacks on the rear of the property of 12’ (utility) and 25’ (build
setback) and he also has a pool in the rear of his property preventing us to not build in that location. This
is the only sensible site for the garage to be attached, therefore making more space to store his vehicles
and clean up the appearance from the street. We would only need a variance of 1’-3’ from property line
for the new location of the garage. There are no other impeding trees or topography that would have to
be removed in order to build in this location.
Again, we would be building a one car garage where the existing driveway is/was located, using the
same materials as the existing house. We had a permit in possession from the city, paid out deposits
totaling $20,000 and demoed their existing driveway.
Several similar conditions exist on the block of Cliffwood Drive with structures 5’ or less from property
line.
Addresses include: 3708 Cliffwood Drive, 208 Woodvine, 212 Woodvine, 3609 Cliffwood Drive, 3607
Cliffwood Drive, 3601 Cliffwood Drive, 3604 Cliffwood Drive, 3500 Cliffwood Drive, 3405 Cliffwood Drive,
and 3505 Cliffwood Drive.
This structure will not hinder the view of neighboring houses and the aesthetics of the structure will be
copasetic to the integrity of the rest of the house.
We appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,
Christina Hill

Title
Request for a variance to certain provisions of Section 3.24.G Schedule of District
Regulations of the Land Development Code on Lot 1, Block 1, of the JL3 Cavalier
Estates Addition, located at 6212 Pleasant Run Road, Case VC15-013
Explanation
The applicant, Frank Ritz, is requesting a variance to the minimum lot size
requirements in the AG – Agricultural District at 6212 Pleasant Run Road (Lot 1, Block
1 of the JL3 Cavalier Estates Addition). Upon submitting a plat for the subject property
to reconstruct a single family home, the required right-of-way dedication for Pleasant
Run Road reduced the existing, compliant lot area, to a lot area slightly under the
requirement. The applicant would like to maintain the AG zoning designation on the
property, as there are no plans to subdivide the property further.
Existing Conditions and Zoning: The property is currently unplatted and developed
with one single family home which is proposed to be removed. The subject property is
zoned AG – Agricultural District. The property to the north is zoned AG and is
undeveloped. The properties to the south and west are zoned R-40 Single Family
Residential District and developed with one single family home on each property. The
properties to the east (across Pleasant Run Road) are zoned R-20 Single Family
Residential District and developed with one single family home on each property.
Proposed Variance:
Request - The applicant is requesting a variance to the minimum lot size for the AG
zoning district as defined in Section 3.24.G of the Land Development Code, to allow for
a lot size of 127,302 square feet. The requested lot size is 3,378 square feet below the
requirement of 130,680 square feet (approximately 2.6 percent).
Ordinance - Chapter 1, Section 1.16.E.10 of the Land Development Code authorizes
the Zoning Board of Adjustment to grant variances where the literal enforcement of
the provisions of the ordinance would result in an unnecessary hardship, and where
such variance is necessary to permit a specific parcel of land which differs from other
parcels of land in the same district by being of such restricted area, shape or slope that
it cannot be developed in a manner commensurate with the development permitted
upon other parcels of land in the same district. A modification of the standards
established by the ordinance cannot be granted to relieve a self-created or personal
Zoning Board of Adjustment Agenda Briefing 3b
City of Colleyville Page 2
hardship, nor for financial reason only, nor can a modification be granted to permit any
person a privilege in developing a parcel of land not permitted by the ordinance to
other parcels of land in the district.
Analysis – The applicant desires to maintain the AG zoning district designation on the
property, therefore a variance is necessary to allow for this adjustment from the
requirements. Through the platting process, additional right-of-way dedication was
required by the City due to the designation of Pleasant Run Road as a Major Arterial on
the Master Thoroughfare Plan. During the review process for the associated minor plat
(PC15-021), the required 47.5 feet of right-of-way dedication reduced the total area of
the lot to less than the minimum 130,680 square feet. The applicant would not be
requesting the variance in question if a building permit had not been needed to
reconstruct a single family home. The applicant has demonstrated a hardship on the
subject property, and the granting of the variance should not adversely affect
surrounding properties.
Public Notification: Staff mailed notices to 13 property owners within 200 feet of the
site. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star Telegram as required by state law
and the Land Development Code. Staff has received no correspondence regarding this
request.
Staff Recommendation: Due to the required dedication of future right-of-way on the
subject property, staff recognizes a hardship with regard to the minimum lot size.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed variance request.

To Whom It May Concern,
When my client applied for a Minor Plat concerning the above property the
conditions existed that were favorable and conformed to the City of
Colleyville’s requirements needed to qualify for AG zoning. However
towards the end of the platting process we were informed because
engineering would request a dedicated R.O.W. the property would fall
slightly below the qualifying guidelines with respect to total lot square
footage. Therefor we respectful request a Zoning Variance with regard to
this mater. Please note the property owner is proposing to construct a
single family residence on the property and that both the building permit
application and all working drawings has been submitted for approval.
Respectfully,
Frank A. Ritz
