CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SIDE YARD SET BACK AT LOT 8, BLOCK FL
RUSTIC OAKS IL 201 N. WINDING OAK ST. : Art Harris brought
it to the attention of the Board that there could have been
construed a conflict of interest between the builder and one
of our board members. He then ask Member N. C. Jefferies if
he had anything rnonitary to gain from this? N. C. Jefferies
answer was no, but he had signed some notes again not on
this house. Art Harris said there was no conflict of
interest in N. C. Jefferies serving on the Board.
We have an application from Dan Dac Homes requesting a
variance for approximately 3 1/2 ft. on south side of lot
because of 20 ft. building line, 20 ft. is on the Jefferson
St. side. Art Harris ask to here from the City on this.
Mr. Faires said this was a semi-pie shaped lot and under the
terms of our ordinance we do require a 20 ft. side yard set
back on the street side and contrary to belief the other
side need only be 6 ft. . Mr. Jefferies has said he would
have no qualms in moving the house to the required side yard
set back of 6 ft. and he would be only 1. 2' over if approved
in the front. The sole purpose of this configuration of set
backs is to provide sight clearance around the corner. Due
to the lot conformity I can' t see that there would be any
sight clearance by granting this variance the question and
answers were given and the reasoning for the special
conditions can be blamed both on the engineer who drew the
subdivision and the the City of Wylie Planning and Zoning
Commission for approving this conformity of a lot, and it
I
would not be any fault of this particular applicant' s
actions.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Jefferies just for the record that he
would move the house over instead of the 7 ft. on the north
side you would move to 6 ft. and that would leave 1. 2"
encrouchment on the other side. Mr. Jefferies replied, yes.
We had 19 letters sent out with 5 letters returned, 4
unclaimed and 1 in favor.
Garry Ludwig made a motion to grant the variance with a 1. 2
" stipulation of the Jefferson St. side with Paul Gaddy
seconding the motion. All were in favor.
