PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUIEST OF THE CITY OF NORTH
RICHLAND HILLS FOR ANTHONY & BRENDA VEAL FOR A VARIANCE
FROM SECTION 410 R-1, SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT FOR THE MINIMUM
FRONT YARD SETBACK ON LOT 2, BLOCK 5, HEWITT ESTATES. THE
PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 6819 MEADOW ROAD.
Anthony and Brenda Veal were granted a building permit by City Manager, C.A.
Sanford, in 1996 prior to the plat being approved. When the building plans were
submitted, the house was shown to be located 25 feet from the front property
line as required. Mr. Sanford approved the building permit based on the fact
that the developer, Jean Cloke, would complete the platting process. The
platting process was not completed. The City Manager's Office in an effort to
clear up some issues for future building permits and sales, authorized staff to
submit a plat for approval on Lot 2, Block 5, Hewitt Estates. City Council
approved the plat on November 22, 1999. When the platting process was begun
the second time, it was discovered that a 4 foot of right-of-way dedication was
necessary for Meadow Road. The right-of-way dedication means the existing
house encroaches 4 feet into the new 25 foot front yard setback.
Staff recommended the Zoning Board of Adjustment approve the request as
submitted by the City of North Richland Hills to the City of North Richland Hills
Zoning Ordinance No. 1874, Section 410.C.5, Minimum Front Yard Setback as
shown on the survey for property addressed as 6810 Meadow Road and known
as Lot 2, Block 5, Hewitt Estates.
1 . Section 410.C.5. — Minimum Front Yard Setback — The minimum front
yard setback is 25 feet from the property line.
The requested variance is to allow only the existing house to encroach 4 feet
into the 25-foot front yard setback as shown on the survey.
Staff found special conditions exist on this request. The house is existing and at
the time of construction the house met the 25 foot front yard setback. Approval
of this variance is for the house only and will stay with the property.
Dr. Duer ask if there were any questions from the Board, and if they had
received a permit for the pool.
Greg Dickens stated the pool was complete. They did receive a permit for
construction of the pool.

Seeing no further questions, Dr. Duer closed the public hearing and opened the
discussion from the board members or motion.
Leslie Jauregui made a motion that the Board approve due to the circumstances
that occurred in the past and to clear for future sales and permits for existing
structure only and any future remodeling would have to comply with current city
building regulations and codes. Kyle Bacon seconded the motion and the motion
carried unanimously by a vote of 4-0.
