PUBLIC HEARING - A variance from Section 3.24.G Schedule of District Regulations of
the Colleyville Land Development Code to provide for the construction of a room addition
that would encroach over the front building line on Lot 5, Block 1, Woodbriar North Addition
at 128 Felps Court, requested by Donald W. & Vicki E. Delong. Case A-01-005
Tom Niederauer presented the case to the Board and reviewed the staff briefing.
Chairman McNosky opened the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Those present wishing to speak in favor of the variance request were:
Bill Delong, applicant, spoke regarding the case. He told the Board that the brick will betaken off
the side of the house and will be put on the front of the home so that the addition would have the
same appearance as the existing dwelling. He said that they have selected a quality contractor
and the addition will be of good quality and be an asset to the neighborhood. He said ten out of
twelve neighbors in the subdivision signed a petition of support when he explained how the
construction would be done.
Steve Knight, 3917 Felps Court, spoke in favor of the request. He said that since he can be
outspoken when he is opposed to something, he wanted to attend the meeting and speak on
behalf of his neighbors' request for a variance. He said the belongs have lived in the
neighborhood for some time and are great neighbors. He said if they are permitted to build the
addition as planned, they would not have to move out of the neighborhood in order to look for a
house with the extra space they need.
There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Jerry Birkes said his concern was that the proposed addition didn't look like an add-on. He said

that he would want the integrity and look of the neighborhood to be maintained. He asked the
belongs about the proposed design of the roof. Mrs. belong said that at the tallest point of the
roof from the garage and the tallest point of the main area of the dwelling the roof will be brought
out to meet over the addition. She said the new addition will have a gable similar to the one on
the eastside of the dwelling.
Rich Munson said he drove to the site and saw no problems with the encroachment because it will
not interfere with the line of visibility down the street. He said no one will know that there is an
encroachment. Chairman McNosky said she also drove to the site and agreed.
Rich Munson moved to approve the variance request to encroach over the front building
line as proposed in the site plan and with the following recommendation of staff:
"The applicant agrees to use brick material on the front of the proposed
garage that is flush with the front of the dwelling and the roofline is flush with
the existing roof."
Dee McNosky seconded the motion. The vote being:

Noes: None
