1. Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a request by Kevin
Sharpies for a Variance to Section 2.5.C.e.2 and Section 2.5.C.f.1
of the Zoning Ordinance from the requirement of an accessory
structure covering more than 2% of the lot to have a masonry
exterior and from the maximum height requirement of 14', property
located at 821 Crestview Lane (ZBA 2010-07).
Mr. Haskins stated that the property is located at 821 Crestview Lane, within the
Stoneridge Addition, with most all of the lots are one to two acres. The applicant
is requesting two variances; one for the building materials to be exterior metal
material and the other for the height to be nineteen feet nine inches.
The applicant is proposing a 1,200 square foot, 19+ feet high metal exterior
material accessory building on 43,330 square feet residential lot. The ordinance
requires a single accessory structure of more than 2% lot coverage to be built
with a masonry exterior to match the main building. Under this ordinance the
largest accessory structure based on the size of his lot is 866 square feet. The
intent of the ordinance is to allow for the purchase and installation of small
accessory structures at minimal cost.
The applicant is requesting a variance for the height of the accessory structure
from 14 feet to 19+ feet. The applicant requires a 13' high door and the 19'
height is required for the door frame.
The applicant has provided pictures of other residential lots within the subdivision
that have accessory buildings either higher than 14 feet or larger than 1,000
square feet with no masonry material. The applicant maintains that due to these
current conditions his request would be keeping within the look and feel of the
neighborhood.
Chairman Jourdan opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Kevin Sharpies, the applicant, 821 Crestview Lane, Wylie, stated that the
accessory building would be constructed toward the back of the property, and he
would provide a concrete driveway from the street to the accessory structure.
Board Member McGinnis questioned the color of the accessory building. Mr.
Sharpies stated that currently on his porch is a red bench. The proposed
building would match the bench. Board Members recommended another color,
and Mr. Sharpies was in agreement for the building to be a neutral color.
Chairman Jourdan closed the Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Baumbach, and seconded by Board
Member Harris, to Grant the variance to Section 2.5.C.e.2 and Section 2.5.C.f.1 ---
of the Zoning Ordinance from the requirement of an accessory structure covering
more than 2% of the lot to have a masonry exterior and from the maximum height
requirement of 14 feet, conditional on the color of the accessory building to be
