Chairman Ernest opened the public hearing for the two separate variances
located on Lot 1, Block 2, Tall Timbers Addition.
Mr. Peter Hennessey, Hennessey Engineering, Inc., 1409 Third Street,
Carrollton, Texas, was present for the owners, Resolution Trust Corporation.
Mr. Hennessey advised the Commissioners they are requesting two variances (1)
a variance to the 25' building setback required by this zoning district and
(2) the 65' minimum lot width requirement. This property, is presently zoned
R-4 (nulti-family dwellings with 16 u\a) . He stated that Lot 1, Block 2
presently accommodates 20 townhcanes located in the northern section of the
property, Tall Timbers apartments located on the southern part of the parcel
and the rest is vacant land. Mr. Hennessey stated originally the property was
under one ownership. He stated that due to finances the central section of
the parcel (the vacant land) went back to the Resolution Trust Corporation;
the apartments took ownership of the portion of the parcel they are presently
— situated on; and the 20 townhomes also are under a different ownership. Mr.
Hennessey stated that the parcel was never legally sub-divided but originally
there was only one owner and due to finances the lot was split into three
sections.
Ms. Erin Brady, with Northcorp Realty Advisors and also representing the RTC,
stated the tenants of the townhomes are wanting this problem to be resolved
due to the necessity of having clear titles to their homes.
Chairman Ernest asked for any further opponents/proponents. There being none,
he closed the public hearing and called for discussion among the board
members. Chairman Ernest reiterated to the Board and the audience that the
ZBA could grant variances only for such reasons as restricted shape, slope or
area of the lot or due to an unnecessary hardship.
There being no further discussion, Chairman Ernest called for a motion.
Mr. Massey made a motion to approve the variance allowing a 60' wide lot and
deny the variance to the 25' buildings setback.
Mr. Williams seconded the motion and the vote was as follows:
Ayes: Messers. Massey, Williams, Poole, Grant and Ernest
Nays: None
Chairman Ernest declared the motion carried.
