Request of Ivfr. Robert A. "Vlhite for a variance from the City of
North Richland Hills Building Code to allow the type structure
that has been built, variance from the Subdivision Ordinance
by not requiring streets, curb and gutter, and Engineering
concerning water, sewer, drainage, etc. Variance from the Zoning
Ordinance by not requiring zoning other than the present type
zoning. This property is West of Precinct Line Road, and East
of the Rumfield Road extension to 1938.
l1R. ROBERT A. WHIT£ - FOB,
Mr. White came forward to present his case to the members of
the board. He stated he purchased this property in ~~y of 1972,
thinking it was in Hurst. At the time of the purchase, he did
not plan to build. He stated his friend being an architec wanted
to build him a recreational type home for the weekends for he
and his family to enyoy. At this time they went to Hurst City
Hall and was told this property was either in Smithfield, or
Colleyville. Mr. White did not know it was in the City of North
Richland Hills. This being an unusual type structure he did not
know the building code. He stated he had local builders to
construct this type house, and was acting in complete honesty
at the time the construction was being done. He presented
pictures of the building to the members of the board for review.
The approximate cost was $6,800.00. This building is 28.6 feet
in diameter, being approximately 615 square feet. The requirement
for Agriculture zoning is a 800 square foot minimum building.
.
Mr. Helton asked Mr. White what type water and sewage facilities
he had at the present time. Mr. White stated he had a deep well
on the property that measured some 32 feet of water, and that left
approximately 18 feet above the water to the surface of the well
opening. He stated a septic system had been installed at this
location. Mr. White said he had talked with Texas Electric Service
Company, and they had agreed to bury all the cable on his property.
He also stated he had a stock tank that was 12 feet deep.
Mr. Helton asked Mr. Riddle what other codes were in violation.
He stated the 75% brick construction on all walls, permanent
foundation with steel to support the upper dome, the electrical
installation did not come up to the National Electric code,
and the plastic pipe was below grade on the plumbing.
Mr. Riddle stated that a topo should have been checked by the
City Engineers for drainage of water, street should have curb
and gutter, and the structure should be facing a street. These
items are outlined in the Subdivision Ordinance.
Mr. Palachek asked City Attorney, Mr. Tim Truman, how the
property could have been closed without knowing what City it
was in. He replied this could easily happen in the paper work
with the company holding the note.
.
Mr. Palachek asked if the structtœe could be moved to another
location at a future date. Mr. White replied that he did wish
to move it to a lake frontage at a later date, and that was
one of the main reasons he did not want to enclose the bottom
portion of the structure.
MRS. HARRIS - FOR
Mrs. Harris, being an adjoining property owner, stated she was
not in opposition of this request. She stated she thought the
structure was very attractive.
MICIŒY HAZELWOOD - FOR
~~s. Hazelwood stated she was not in opposition to the request,
as she owned the 6.15 acres adjoining Mr. White.
11R. FRED M. KlliK - OPPOSED
Mr. Palachek stated that Mr. Kirk could not attend the meeting
due to ill health, but had asked that he state his views re-
garding this request. ~~. Kirk is also an adjacent property
owner. He stated that ~1ith the possible modification of what
þ~. White proposed to correct to bringing every thing up to
standard would suffice Mr. Kirk at this date.
.
Motion was made by Dr. Hahn to grant a temporary easement from
zoning requirements at this time, and discussion to continue.
.
.
.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Trotter. Dr. Hahn asked that this
motion be withdrawn. Mr. Trotter seconded the motion.
Dr. Hahn then made a motion to grant a (1) one year minimwn
variance to begin at such time the City Manager removed the
red tag, with a (36) thirty six months maximum limit. At any
time after (1) one year from this date with written letter
from the City Manager, with or without cause, with a (90)
day limit this structure is to be removed from the property.
Mr. Trotter seconded the motion. All members present voting
affirmative. Motion carried 5-0.
