"K NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEMORANDUM FROM: Planning & Zoning Department DATE: January 26, 2023 SUBJECT: ZBA22-0006 Public hearing and consideration of a request from David Salgado for a variance from Section 118-873 (screening wall and fence criteria) of the North Richland Hills zoning ordinance at 7933 Joreen Drive, being 0.363 acres described as Lot 26, Block 5, Clear View Addition. PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner SUMMARY David Salgado is requesting approval of a variance to the screening wall and fence criteria to allow construction of a six-foot tall fence in the side yard adjacent to the street on 0.363 acres of land located at 7933 Joreen Drive. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The property is located at the northeast corner Joreen Drive and Standley Street. The lot is 15,812 square feet (0.363 acres) in size. The property is developed with a single-family residence, constructed in 1961, with a swimming pool located in the rear yard. The house faces Joreen Drive, and the driveway and garage access are located on Standley Street. On September 17, 2022, a code compliance officer observed that the existing chain link fence adjacent to the street was in disrepair, resulting in the swimming pool in the back yack being unsecured. The property owner was advised of the need to repair the fence. On September 23, 2022, the applicant applied for a fence permit to replace the chain link fence with a six-foot tall cedar fence in the street side yard on Standley Street. During the review of the fence permit application, it was determined that the proposed fence location did not comply with the minimum side yard setback required on Standley Street. The applicant was advised that a fence could not be constructed at the property line as proposed. On a corner lot, the zoning ordinance permits a fence to be constructed at the property line only when the rear yards of two corner lots abut. The rear yard of the subject property abuts the side yard of an adjacent residence on Standley Street, which requires that the side yard fence be constructed at the building setback line. Since the required location of the fence would conflict with existing decking around the swimming pool, the applicant has applied for a variance to allow the fence to be constructed at the proposed location. The variance application and supporting materials are attached. The materials include a copy of the application explaining the reasoning for the variance request, a survey of the ,VOL W "K NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS lot, and a plot plan showing the proposed improvements to the property. An analysis of the request and relevant codes is below. ANALYSIS The applicant proposes to construct a six-foot tall cedar fence along the side property line on Standley Street. The fence would enclose the rear yard and function as a required barrier fence for the swimming pool. The lot in question is 83 feet wide on Joreen Drive and 165 feet deep along Standley Street. The lot has a 25-foot front building line on both street frontages, per the recorded subdivision plat. The property is zoned R-2 (Single- Family Residential). REAR YARD ABUTTING SIDE YARD The variance request is related to the side yard fence standards contained in Section„! , ;�,;jl„ ::::, .'7�„(,ca,,,), of the zoning ordinance. This ............................................................................................ section addresses transverse frontage lots, which are lots where the rear yard of the lot abuts the side yard of the adjacent lot (see graphic right). This section prohibits the construction of a fence in the side yard on the transverse frontage lot. 57'RLEI' The owner is requesting a variance from the setback standards and proposes to construct the fence within the side yard. The applicant states in the supporting materials that the required location for the fence would encroach into the existing decking area around the swimming pool. The exhibit below shows the proposed and required locations for the fence on the property. a 4 on l µ a UJ RAIL�"M!�VIwLLIIk FCY!V k.�tW'Nk J#'tl YW9 VMY � �' �"j` "" """ u d a1 a 1 vrrrru Uqi F N C E i0rs;uo0ma .. � p/ �Illlll�i r d r o ti A sii ric 7 s, ,VOL W IMMUMM "K NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS FINDINGS FOR VARIANCE APPROVAL Section ..........) 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.

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 allow the six-foot fence to be constructed in the side yard as proposed. 2. Approve the variance with conditions. This action would allow the fence to be constructed 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 owner to construct the fence to comply with the side yard fence standards. r , r 'a v'1✓r r r a / lrirr lr, %r li �� III r � r I M " N li a li I f r "<r �/�/��/� Ills ii u w rr %y//r/, L/r w J, ,. .r ✓/�rJ/Sd/ ./irw�J,',� r� w lr,f ,��, ,/ u111,� ;i c, rir�ar If / %� Prepared by Planning 1/5/2023 N DISCLAIMER:This product is for informational purposes and may not nI IFeet have been prepared for or be suitable for legal,engineering,or surveying N 0 50 100 200 300 400 purposes.It does not represent an on-the-ground survey and represents only the approximate relative location of property boundaries. .............................................. ........... ...............................;I ....................................................................................... ........................................................... .................................

PRESENTER: Clayton Husband, Principal Planner SUMMARY John Trent is requesting approval of a variance to the lot and area requirements to provide less than 20% rear yard open space on a residential lot located at 7305 Smithfield Road. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The property is located on the west side of Smithfield Road between Starnes Road and Old Hickory Drive. The lot is 12,496 square feet (0.287 acres) in size. The owner proposes to construct a new 5,225-square-foot residence on the property. On November 1, 2022, the applicant's contractor applied for a building permit to construct a new residence on the property. During the review of the application, it was determined that the design did not satisfy the standard for rear yard open space as required by the zoning ordinance. The zoning ordinance requires that at least 20% of the lot area be maintained as rear yard open space. The applicant was advised that the design must be adjusted to provide the required open space. Rather than adjust the design, the applicant has submitted an application for variance. The variance application and supporting materials are attached. The materials include a copy of the application explaining the reasoning for the variance request, a survey of the lot, and plans showing the proposed improvements to the property. An analysis of the request and relevant codes is below. ANALYSIS The applicant proposes to construct a new residence on the property. The lot is part of the Lee's Crossing subdivision, which includes seven (7) lots located on a slip street adjacent to Smithfield Road. While all the lots front Smithfield Road, access to the property is provided from a private drive parallel to the street. The property is zoned RI- PD Residential Infill Planned Development, which was approved by City Council on January 11, 2016 (Ordinance 3385). The RI-PD standards state the lots must generally conform to the R-2 Single-Family Residential standards. "K NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS The lot in question is 72.52 feet wide at the front property line, 172 feet deep, and has a 67-foot front building line. The front of the lot is encumbered by a 47-foot wide private access, drainage, utility, and landscape easement, which takes up 3,408 square feet (27%) of the lot area. The improvements in the easement include a common private drive, parking areas, landscaping, fencing, and public utilities. A copy of the lot survey and the subdivision plat is attached for reference. The variance request is related to the rear yard open space standards contained in .5 c ct.J.2I 11 8 3 113..of the zoning ordinance. This section requires that every lot provide open space in the rear yard area. The rear yard open space area is defined as- ...an area reserved as an open space in the rear portion of a yard which extends from one side property line to another side property line and abutting the rear property line. The rear yard open space shall not protrude beyond the two most extreme corners of the main structure and no part of a residential dwelling unit may be constructed so as to occupy any portion of the rear yard open space. The owner is requesting a variance from the 20% rear yard open space standard to exclude the private access, drainage, and utility easement in the calculation of the percentage. Excluding the easement, the property would provide 22% open space in the rear yard. Including the easement would result in 16% open space. The exhibits below show the rear yard open space percentage as applied to the entire lot and as applied excluding the easement. iq .;i r� Pfi,6k;N "ZD ,)iqt �. ry r rrF� LOT AREA 12,496 SF tM Y �.
