Title
Consideration of a Special Use Permit to allow a non-compliant fence for Lot 1, Block A,
Shanklin Farm Addition, located at 4820 Bill Simmons Road, Case ZC23-016
Explanation
Tabled from the August 14, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Boyce Estes, the applicant, has submitted a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a
street side yard fence to extend beyond the building setback and be located on the
property line along Glade Road on Lot 1, Block A, of the Shanklin Farm Addition, being
approximately 0.87 acres, and zoned R-20 Single-Family Residential district.
Existing Conditions/Background: The subject property, 4820 Bill Simmons Road,
has R-20 zoning and is located at the Southwest corner of the intersection of Glade
Road and Bill Simmons Road. The subject property will have a new single-family
residence.
SUP Request:
Request – The applicant is requesting approval of an SUP to allow a six (6) foot wrought
iron fence to encroach into the street side yard setback. The proposed fence is
requested to be placed on the property line encroaching on an 11.5-foot roadway and
pedestrian easement.
Ordinance – Section 3.26 Fences, Free Standing Walls, and Screening Materials
Regulations of the Land Development Code establishes the maximum size and location
of fencing to be permitted by staff on a residential lot:
“E. Fence and Free-Standing Wall Setback Requirement:
2. Corner Side Yards: Except where allowed elsewhere in this chapter, no fence or
free standing wall greater than thirty (30) inches in height and no greater than
twenty-five (25) percent opaque construction shall extend into the required street
side yard. The regulations of 1.a through 1.d above shall apply.
Regulation “2” above applies in this case requiring that no fence be allowed to extend
into the street side yard, which is 30 feet per the R-20 zoning. The applicant proposes
to locate a 6 foot wrought iron fence onto the side property line which will encroach into
the street side yard setback. The Land Development Code provides the opportunity to

Commission
Agenda Briefing 1a
request an SUP to deviate from the requirements
Special Use Permit Provision: Any request for a building permit for a fence/wall
which does not meet the criteria in this Section shall only be authorized after approval
of a Special Use Permit by the City Council using the procedures contained elsewhere in
this Land Development Code.
Analysis: The applicant is proposing a six-foot wrought iron fence located on the street
side property line and encroaching on an 11.5-foot roadway and pedestrian easement.
Plat Status: Lot 1, Block A, of the Shanklin Farm Addition.
DRC Review: The DRC met on July 24th and determined the case could be scheduled
for the next available Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Drainage: NA
Surrounding Development: The properties to the south and east are zoned R-20 and
contain single-family residential development. The property to the west is zoned R-30
and contains single-family residential development. The property to the north is zoned
R-40 Single Family Residential and is improved with single-family residential
development.
Public Notification: Staff mailed notices to all property owners within 500 feet as well
as any Homeowners Associations within 1,000 feet of the subject property regarding
this request. Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, where the subject property is located, was
notified per State law. Notice was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as required
by State law and the Land Development Code.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the requested SUP as it does not
meet the technical requirements of the Land Development Code.

Future Land Use Map
Narration and supporting documents for SUP for 4820 Bill Simmons Road.
My wife and I have been long time Colleyville residents. In 2021, after retiring, we
sold our home of 23 years in Thornbury subdivision in Colleyville and immediately
began looking in Colleyville for a lot to build our “toe tag home.” Lots were fairly
scarce, but we eventually found and purchased the lot at 4820 Bill Simmons Road. It
is located at the corner or Bill Simmons and Glade and is just a few streets down
Glade from our prior home.
We are here tonight seeking a Special Use Permit to place a side yard fence (Glade
Road side) at the property line (2 feet from sidewalk)(Option A) or 2 feet from the
property line (4 feet from the sidewalk) (Option B). (See Exhibit 1 and Photos 1 & 2)
This location is necessary to allow sufficient width of the driveway to allow entry and
exit from the side entry garage. Currently, the width of the driveway with the current
design is about 24 feet. This is the minimum recommended width required in parking
lots and a preferred recommended width is 26 to 28 feet. Any fence placed on the
south side of the 4 large pine trees along Glade would greatly magnify the difficulty
of access to and from the garage.
We are proposing to construct a wrought iron fence but will build whatever type
fence the city requests. (See Photo 3 and Illustration 1)
We feel that the proposed location of the fence is justified for the following reasons:
1. The fence would be consistent with most of the other fences on Glade which,
almost without exception, are located at or within a few feet on the sidewalk.
(See Photos 4 to 11)
2. It does not violate anything in the description in Section 3.26 of the Colleyville
Land Development Code under “Scope” which reads “regulate fences…in a
manner to promote safety, preserve property values, promote the general
welfare of the City of Colleyville and to enhance the aesthetic quality of the
community”. I feel that a decorative wrought iron fence would enhance the
aesthetic quality.
3. An argument could be made that rules governing lots of 40000 square feet
which allows side fences at the property line could be considered for this lot.
My lot is only about 5% less than 40000 square feet. If you consider the land
that the city owns, but that I am required to irrigate and maintain (approx 2700
square feet of turf area between sidewalk and Glade Road and approx 3000
square feet of turf area between front property line and Bill Simmons
pavement) (See Photo 12) the total area is significantly above 40000 square
feet.
4. An argument could be made that the rules governing a subdivision fence
could be applied because of the way the property was platted and subdivided
into 3 lots.
Several factors influenced the site plan and house design including:
1. The buildable area of the lot is much smaller than the stated acreage. This is
mainly due to a very large drainage easement on the back of the property.
This easement was pushed forward another 27 feet due to a utility easement
and further to protect the roots of several large elm trees on the back property
line. I estimate that this reduces the buildable area by about one third. (See
Exhibit 2 and Photos 13 & 14)
2. Our desire to design the house with aging in place considerations resulted in
a one story house. This, in addition to the reduced buildable area, produced a
floor plan which basically stretches from one side setback to the other. (See
Exhibit 3)
3. We wanted to have the garage area on the Glade Road side of the house to
mitigate exposure to road noise and for an increased sense of privacy,
security and safety.
Obviously, some of the arguments for the fence placement do not completely satisfy
the objective requirements. However, I do believe that there is a subjective
component to these decisions and I think that is what makes the P&Z committee, the
City Council and the city staff so valuable. I also think that many, if not most, of the
lots currently available are available because they have significant limitations that
shape the design elements of the house and the site planning. Sometimes, strict
enforcement of regulations superimposed on the other limitations of a particular lot
may well make that lot unsuitable for building puts it at a significant disadvantage
compared to properties built previously that were not subjected to these regulations.
A separate issue that will be brought before the City Council is consideration of
abandonment of the roadway and pedestrian easement as it is unlikely to be needed
in light of the recent significant roadway work that has been done.
Thank you for your consideration,
Boyce Estes

Dear Mr Bryner,
After see the sign at the corner of Bill Simmons and Glade I made some inquiries into
the proposed change. It seem that the problem is the amount of set back off of
Glade.
I personally went out with a tape measure and took some measurements. The
measurements are not exact by any means, I measured from the inside of the curb to
the fence or the retaining wall. I found the distance varies greatly from 11' to 37'.
Examples -
- Corner of Glade and Bluebonnet are as close as 12' distance
- Near the corner of Glade and Behrnes Rd 20' distance
- On Glade between Behrnes Ct and Cranbrook E the distance varied from 12' to 15'
- On Glade between Cranbrook E and Beldon Trail the distance was as little as 11'
- Glade and Summerbrook 25' distance
The variance the Estes' are proposing would be in line with other homes, fences or
retaining walls along Glade Rd. between Bluebonnet and the traffic circle. I believe
the city should grant the variance..
Sincerely,
Belinda Baker

Jackie:
In pursuit of the zoning notification we received for the case referenced
above, we support the efforts of Dr. Boyce Estes to receive the zoning
change to allow the side fence to be placed on the north property line.
We do not see nor believe how a fence will affect or harm the city in
anyway. As you know, I am familiar with the property and was involved
in the platting process of this subdivision. The properties within this
subdivision all were designed to have about the same frontage to allow
a home with fenced side yards. The fence will help provide a greater
distance between this fence and his home allowing for more home
security. A fence will be consist with other properties along Glade road,
being located on or about the Right-of-Way (R.O.W.) line. We are
asking for the board to favor the applicate, Dr. Boyce Estes to allow the
fence.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear sirs,
I have received a copy of a letter from our future neighbor Mr. Skip Estes regarding his request to the city of
Colleyville for a variance to install a wrought iron privacy fence on his property referenced above. My wife and I
have lived in Colleyville for over 20 years and have lived on Bill Simmons RD for 18 years of those years. We are
excited to see the development of the address referenced above and we are supportive of Mr. Estes request. I believe
what Mr. Estes has requested is reasonable and inline with the character of the homes in our area and the city of
Colleyville at large. Please accept this email as our indication of our support.
Sincerely,
Tommy and Dia Curb
