Chair Duer read the rules and regulations of the Zoning Board of Adjustment. He
stated since there are only four regular members present at the meeting, any action
by the Board must be approved by a unanimous vote.
Chair Duer opened the public hearing, and called for Principal Planner Clayton
Husband to introduce the request. Mr. Husband introduced the request.
Chair Duer called for the applicant to present the request and be sworn in prior to
speaking.
Tommy Cunningham, 2006 Nighthawk Court, Westlake, Texas, was sworn in by
Chair Duer and presented the request. He described the plans for the property
including rezoning, subdivision plat approval, and design of the house. He stated the
lot is unusual since it has limited frontage on Country Place Drive and includes
significant areas in the flood plain. He stated these factors make it difficult to situate a
house on the property and he is seeking to establish a front building setback on the
lot to allow for construction of the house.
Chair Duer and the applicant discussed the floodplain on the property and the
topographic survey of the lot.
Chair Duer called for Principal Planner Clayton Husband to present the staff report.
