PUBLIC HEARING - A request from Date Ramsey for a variance from Section 3.26 -
Fences Free Standing Walls, and Screening Material of the Land Development Code - to
provide for the construction of 2 brick columns and a gate 2'/Z' over a portion of the 30'
building line on Lot 1, Block 1, Woods of Colleyville at 3723 Treemont Court. Case A-00-
004
Chairman McNosky introduced the case and opened the public hearing.
Barry LeBaron presented the case to the Board.
Dale Ramsey, applicant, presented his variance request to the Board. Steve Magee asked the
applicant if he lived in the dwelling. He responded that he did.
Sara Lester asked the applicant if the proposed location of the gates will have any affect on the
neighbors. Mr. Ramsey responded that they would not. He said that the wooden fence along the
side of the property would not encroach over the building line. He said that he is proposing to
attach a wrought iron section to the wing wall and a wrought iron section to the wooden privacy
fence and then build brick columns for the gate across the driveway to attach to.
Steve Magee commented on the design of the house and the applicant's plan to flip-flop the
garage with a bedroom in order to preserve the large tree.

Chairman McNosky read a letter from the developer, Derek DeGuire, in support of the variance.
The applicant stated that the wing wall is required by deed restrictions in order to conceal the
garage and he restated his request that the wrought iron fence sections, brick columns, and
wrought iron gates would only encroach 2'/2 feet over the front building line.
Chairman McNosky closed the public hearing.
Jerry Birkes said that even with the encroachment of the wrought iron gates, it will be a very tight
turn into the single car garage. He said that when he visited the area he notices several other
violations of gates over the front building line.
Steve Magee asked Barry LeBaron if the zoning for this subdivision is PUD-R. Mr. LeBaron
responded that it was. Steve Magee said that this subdivision does not have uniform lot sizes
because of it being aPUD-R.
Sara Lester moved to accept the variance request for 2 '/z feet over the building line.
Teresa Rutherford seconded the motion.
Steve Magee stated that for the record, the board found that because of the circumstances
relating to the location of the tree and the design of the lot, a 2 '/z' encroachment is
appropriate for this lot.
The vote being:
Ayes: Rutherford, Lester, Magee, Henry, McNosky
Noes: None
The Board discussed the possibility of amending the Rules of Procedure for the Zoning Board of
Adjustment to hold one meeting per month rather than two. Staff said that they would place the
item on the next agenda.
