PUBLIC HEARING - REQUEST OF MR. DAVID MARYOL WITH H & M CON-
- STRUCTION COMPANY, INC., FOR A VARIANCE TO THE MINIMUM SIDE YARD
REQUIREMENTS
Mr. David Maryol, President of H & M Construction, explained that when he first began
building in Euless he understood that there was a four foot (4') and nine foot (9') side
yard requirement, but mainly for the reason to maintain thirteen feet (13') between

homes. When he applied for a building permit for 1402 Timber Ridge, he was told that
the thirteen foot (13') minimum no longer applied. He then assumed that the four foot
(4') and nine foot (9') requirement did not apply. He stated that he then centered the
foundation on the lot leaving side yards of 6' 5-1/2" on the left and 6' 9-1/2" on the
right and a distance of 11' 4" between the home on the right and 17' 4" between the
home on the left. Because the proposed foundation has forms set, poured piers, sand,
rough-in plumbing, graded beams, and steel and brick ledges attached, he is asking that
a variance be granted regarding the nine foot (9') side yard requirement.
-- There being no additional comments from the audience, the public hearing was closed.
Each of the board members agreed that the petitioner had made a mistake by not
_ checking into the ordinances further, and there was concern about the limited access
to the rear should the prospective homeowner decide to build a pool or extend the drive
to the rear.
Mr. Gibson made a motion to deny the request for a variance of the minimum side yard
requirements.
Mrs. Lightbody seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows:
Ayes: Mrs. Lightbody & Messrs. Ernest, Gibson, Pasteur & Douglass
Nays: None
Chairman Ernest declared the motion carried.
