ITEM 3 CASE #06-01-ZBA — HOLD PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A
REQUEST FOR A ZONING VARIANCE
Receive public input regarding a request for a Zoning Variance. The
applicant is requesting a variance to rear set back requirements. This
property is located on Ashbrook Estates, Block A, Lot 11, 706 Ashbrook
Court.
Vice Chairman Price opened the public hearing.
Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief description of the
case. This item is before the Zoning Board of Adjustment because of an error made by
staff. Approval was inadvertently granted in May 2002 by the Planning and
Development Department that enabled construction of a covered rear patio at 706
Ashbrook Court in the Ashbrook Estates Subdivision. The patio is located within fifteen
feet (15') of the rear property line, which encroaches within the twenty-five foot (25') rear
setback. The roof of the covered patio extends from, and is the same color and pitch
as, the roof of the primary structure. The covered patio appears as though it was part of
the original construction of the house.
Vice Chairman Price asked the applicant or representative to come forward for
comments.
Sheila Ware, 706 Ashbrook Court, Euless, stated she would like to have a clear title of
the structure that was built back in 2002.
