PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner SUMMARY Jim Fentress is requesting approval of a variance to the lot and area requirements and accessory buildings and structures standards to allow a carport addition to the house. The property is located at 7905 Irish Drive. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The property is located on the north side of Irish Drive, between Mockingbird Lane and Ulster Drive. The property is zoned R-3 (Single-Family Residential) and is developed with a single-family residence constructed in 1979. The 9,142-square-foot lot is part of the Irish Meadows subdivision, which was platted in 1977. The lot is rectangular in shape, being approximately 73 feet wide and 130 feet deep. The property is owned by the applicant, James (Jim) Fentress, and is occupied by a family member. In September 2020, the City received a complaint about construction work taking place on the property. The work included construction of a cover over a driveway and patio on the northwest side of the house. The covered area extends along the side property line from the front of the house to the rear property line, and wraps behind an existing detached garage behind the house. An inspection of the property determined that a permit had not been issued for the construction. As a result, a stop work order was issued on the work on October 3, 2020 Prior to the issuance of the stop work order, the chief building official and the occupant discussed the zoning and building standards that apply to the property. An email summarizing the conversation was sent to the occupant on September 29, 2020, which included a list of known zoning and building code violations. A copy of the email is attached. On October 5, 2020, a code compliance case was opened and an initial notice of violation letter was mailed to the owner and occupant. Additional notices were mailed on October 19, 2020, and January 4 and January 15, 2021. Copies of the notices are attached. "K NOKTH KICHL:AND HILLS Since a permit application was not submitted and the property was not brought back into compliance by the required deadlines, a probable cause affidavit was submitted to the municipal court. Following a court hearing on March 17, 2021, the owner was given 14 days to submit a building permit application. The permit application was submitted on April 5, 2021. After the building permit application was reviewed, a plan review report was provided to the applicant on April 20, 2021. A copy of the report is attached, which identifies where the construction does not comply with certain zoning regulations and building code standards. The applicant was advised that the design must be adjusted to comply with the applicable code requirements. Rather than adjust the design, the applicant has submitted an application for variance on May 18, 2021. The variance application and supporting materials are attached. The materials include a copy of the application explaining the reasoning for the variance request and other relevant documents. An analysis of the request and relevant codes is below. ANALYSIS The variance request is to standards contained in two sections of the zoning ordinance. These include the lot and area requirements of the R-3 (Single-Family Residential)zoning district contained in 5eact"lioirl 11118 3113 and the accessory building and structures standards contained in eac lioirl 11118. I118. The carport/covered driveway structure is built on the northwest side of the house. The structure is approximately 9.7 feet wide and 104 feet long, extending adjacent to the side property line to the rear property line. The structure also extends approximately 30 feet adjacent to the rear property line. The structure also encroaches into a platted five-foot utility easement along the rear property line. The structure covers approximately 1,112 square feet. The exhibit below shows the location of the structure on the lot. Lor F' IP r rev i h ,eY "K NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS Given its location on the property, the structure is not in compliance with the following zoning ordinance requirements related to building setbacks and accessory building standards. The table below provides a comparison of the relevant requirements and the existing condition on the property REQUIREMENTSTANDARD CONDITION Sec. 118-313 0 Six(6)feet 0 0.9 feet(10.8 inches) (6)Side building line Sec. 118-313 0 Ten(10)feet 0 Zero feet (7)Rear building line Sec. 118-718(d) 0 Six(6)feet 0 0.9 feet(10.8 inches) (4)Side building line Sec. 118-718(d) 0 Ten(10)feet 0 Zero feet (5)Rear building line Sec. 118-718(d) 0 360 square feet 0 1,112 square feet (7) Maximum size Sec. 118-718(d) 0 Minimum 4:12 on each side of (13)Pitch of roof ridge. Flat or nearly flat roofs 0 Less than 1:12 roof pitch are not permitted. There are other code violations associated with the structure related to building code standards and utility easement encroachments. Some of these violations are noted in the plan review report. However, those violations cannot be addressed through action by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. In the event variances are approved for the structure, these violations would have to be addressed before a building permit could be issued. Denial of variances would ultimately require that all or portions of the structure be removed in order to achieve compliance with code standards. FINDINGS FOR VARIANCE APPROVAL Section ,11,11,E , , „�, ,,�, of the zoning ordinance authorizes the Zoning Board of Adjustment ...to authorize upon appeal, in specific cases, such variance from the terms of [the Zoning Ordinance] as will not be contrary to the public interest and where, because of special conditions, the enforcement of the [Zoning Ordinance] would result in an unnecessary hardship." In exercising it powers to grant a variance, the board of adjustment must make specific findings and show in its minutes that: a. Literal enforcement of the controls will create an unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty in the development of the affected property. b. The situation causing the hardship or difficulty is neither self-imposed nor generally affecting all or most properties in the same zoning district. "K NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS c. The relief sought will not injure the permitted use of adjacent conforming property. d. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the spirit and purposes of these regulations. OPTIONS FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION The Zoning Board of Adjustment has the following options on this application. 1. Approve the variance as presented. This action would approve variances to the building line setbacks and accessory building standards for the structure. The structure would still be subject to other building code and property standards. 2. Approve the variance with conditions. This action would approve variances to the building line setbacks and accessory building standards for the structure, subject to the owner making modifications to its size, location, or design as directed by the Board. 3. Deny the variance. This action would require the structure to be built in compliance with building line setbacks and accessory building standards or removed from the property. / .......,, ........, W F .... ............ z �aoo ,,,,, ......... , ......... ........................................................,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,, :,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 00 Nlada 0 / 1Sd-4138 0 /.............................: N m M Z .......... ,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,; ;Y. .......................... �; r��Nad11iH ............................... ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 00 r ...... ....... 0 x Z ......... � Y 1, V W / ...............

List the pertinent section(s)of the zoning ordinance and indicate the specific variances being requested. If necessary, use a separate sheet. R3 Zoning: a."Structure does not comply with min. 6' side yard setback..." b. "Structure does not comply with min. 10' rear yard setback_" c. "Structure must comply with minimum 4:12 pitch..." Cl. "Structure is located on property line. Must comply with 2018 IRC R302 Fire-Resistant construction table R302.1 minimum 1 Hr rated wall with no openings." e. "Need to provide site plan or survey with diminsions in order to verify compliance with 20% rear open yard space required per R3 Zoning." 2. State the grounds for the request and describe any special conditions that cause hardships that, in your opinion,justify the variance(s) being requested. Examples of special conditions are:topography, creeks, utility lines, irregular lot or tract shapes, etc. The Zoning Board of Adjustment must determine that special conditions exist before making a motion to approve a request. If it is determined that special conditions do not exist,the motion must be to deny the request. If necessary, use a separate sheet. R3 Zoning violations identified: a.The original plat shows no easment restrictions on west side of property Carports and/or garages have been built in this&nearby additions against property lines. b.The original plat shows 5'easment on rear property line Rear section of carport can be removed if required, however its not visible(back of bldg.) c.The roof pitch was designed to be at 4:12 pitch... confirmation of this pitch is being verified. The intent of this carport was 4:12 by design... if granted it would be brought into compliance. d. Stop work order issued prior to completion of the work. If a fire rated wall is required it will be added if variance is granted. e.A survey(from a registered Surveyor Firm)has been aquired showing diminsions for the property and structures. Currently the side yard carport(measured from corner of house to back of carport)does not exceed compliance. 3,. Explain any special circumstances, if applicable, not considered by the zoning ordinance. Examples: (1) if the subdivision plat was approved prior to the current zoning ordinance requirements; or (2)the zoning ordinance was amended or a policy change was adopted after submitting an application for a building permit or other phase of the development process. If necessary, use a separate sheet. None of the examples listed in item 3. apply here. This carport build was contracted to an individual(Juan Sanchez)that claimed he had the design,was a registered contractor in NRH, and would file for and aquire a permit for this project. I was to supply materials and he would furnish the labor,the design,and permit. Upon approximately 90%completion of structure his crew was questioned by a City of NRH building inspector and notified the project was not permitted with the city,and not under construction in compliance of the zoning and building codes in place for NRH. (I thought the design and plan was reasonable since the carport would be constructed behind the fence, and there are several other carports and/or bldgs.similar to this in the area.) A stop work order was issued from the city two or three days later, however I had stopped the contractor the day of the linquiry from the inspector and upon requesting the design/drawings and permitting for the project, I was told he would (send them to me and now he is not returing calls, and cannot be found.-I am now requesting a review with the Zoning Board of Adjustment to see if I can bring this structure within code&zoning requirements.With the possibility of some variances of some of the zoning requirements to save having to perform a complete demolotion of the structure. 2018 Planning&Zoning Department 1 4301 City Point Drive- NRH 76180 PAGE 2 OF 4 817-427-6300 1 www.nrhtx.com I planning@nrhtx.com | � �� U� �� 8� N � 0 �� *� �� m� mm� �� m�� m �� ~� m m�m �� m� m APPLICATION SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS Applications submitted without original signatures and all required documents and information will not bm reviewed,and will ba returned to the applicant for revision.Please be sure that all required items are included for the type of application requested. .

Please follow all references to the R-3 zoning district since that is where your home is located. By the way, since you are in the R-3 zoning district, you only need to have 6 feet of side yard setback (not 10 feet as I originally told you). However, the rear yard requires a minimum of 10 feet. b,tt,,ps;,( library.municode.com/tx/north richland_hills/c,o,d_cs,/buildinZ_and land use regulations? nodeId=PTIICOOR CH118Z0 ARTIVDI DIV3SIMIRESIMIRESIMIREDI ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... As mentioned during our conversation, any variance approvals will be very unlikely since you have to prove to the Zoning Board of Adjustments that you have a hardship that you did not cause; and that your situation is unique from other property owners. Additionally, there was a complaint made about the construction of your carport which makes the variance approval process even less likely. Please see the following list of known zoning and building code violations: 1. Carport addition does not meet the minimum side yard setback of 6' (zoning violation) 2. Carport addition does not meet the minimum rear yard setback of 10' (zoning violation) 3. Carport addition appears to be violating the 20% rear yard open space (zoning violation) 4. Carport addition does not have the minimum roof pitch of 4:12 (zoning violation) 5. No building permit was obtained prior to construction of the carport (building code violation) 6. Additions to residential structures require a 1-hr rated fire rated wall whenever they are built closer than three feet to a property line. Both the west and north side of the addition would require this wall (building code violation) 7. Substandard/incorrect framing(building code violation) a. Metal rafters are not directly supported on the west side of the carport. Inserting the rafters inside of a C-channel and supporting them from the bottom flange of that C-channel requires an engineer's design b. Metal rafters that are supported by the existing roof have been trimmed to match the pitch of the existing roof. Metal rafters must be full width at their support ends unless an engineer has designed it c. The columns supporting the beam between the house and the detached garage don't appear to have a footing or lateral support d. The beam between the house and the detached garage is cantilevered on both ends and requires an engineer's design e. The columns supporting the west side of the roof don't appear to have a footing or lateral support f. The lips of the rafter C-channels have be damaged or deformed in areas and are being used as a header at the front and rear of the structure. This is beyond the prescriptive measures of the building code and needs to be engineered 8. An unauthorized addition was made to your house between January of 2016 and January of 2017. This will need to be permitted, inspected, and corrections made to bring the addition into compliance with the building code RS"Pa� Tt,��,�e!:av I Ir !'I{9, Ill Irvll''4''+';il,!I!ol,, ..I m ohI �i,; r�„ plI Illlo v Pu111itIIII° I�iYolliulllilji';'@III I C6;'lo,r{ 'fGilgY ,��7P�r1 r y1{IIIII Igtl�u, ig 'pv'V'I i I I I nll i'i 1 IIII I{ i I y ppul �,III�';Illlrpl iI�III� !411�91�@ IIII�IC I, �� VI I dv, i!�,,lC,Ilk V!!��,II�l�.1;1 t,� I"p; �II��IP��Ig� !,91,uYY��pp111Yggrr� 8.�?ig(I�II�t1��6f�l I�q�j,l ;;� �iP �� I "lI rP I�,II!III v��llulll�llll I IIII gq,Illlp!i 10(�II;{�I(1�;II 6111(��iylG�+,;41.;,I�fl�,l, i1�91+ !�iI IIIIIi i��V1�IPrMI �11'.II i� u.l ll ill yl�v�l.��iYIIIIIIII�V��Ii�� IPII '�I,�II illPI IIII�I� �II{�;' lj" ui wIII''i �'I IMSII�a�I@r1' �I�lo I i i 9. The contractor who built the carport addition is not registered with the City of North Richland Hills 10. The contractor who built the carport without out a permit is subject to a $525 unautorized construction fee in addition to the standard building permit fee As mentioned during our conversation, I don't believe you will be able to get zoning approval from the building setback encroachments, the flat roof pitch, and the minimum rear yard open spaces. Knowing this, my advice would be to remove the new constrution in its entirety. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
