PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a request by Michael Fredericks
for a variance to Section 10.3(1)(b) of the 1985 Zoning Ordinance in order to
decrease the required interior side yard setback from seven (7) feet to one and
one-half feet (1.5) feet, this property being located at 1404 Scottsdale Drive and
being Lot 38 of Block F of the Quail Meadow Addition. (ZBOA Case No. 2004-
02)
Thompson stated that the subject property is located in the Quail Meadow Addition, the
plat for which was approved by the City Council in September 2000 and filed with Collin
County in May 2001. The property is occupied by a single-story, masonry single-family
residence, which includes an attached two-car garage accessible from the alley to the
rear of the lot.
The applicant is requesting a variance to the west side yard and rear yard setbacks in
order to construct a covered carport to the rear of the existing garage, for parking of an
oversized truck and trailer boat. The required interior side yard setbacks are seven (7)
for main structures and five (5) feet for accessory buildings such as garages and
carports. The carport will be located one and one-half (1.5) feet from the side property
line. Rear yard setbacks are required to be 25 feet and the carport will be located 21
feet from the rear property line.
The subject lot is 72 feet wide, with no drainage or utility easements along the rear or
sides to obstruct the location or access to the proposed carport. The carport is to be
used for special, over-sized vehicles, in addition to the spaces available within the
garage. The garage will remain operative for vehicle parking.
Chairman LeBaron opened the Public Hearing at 7:20pm.
Mr. Michael Frederick, 1404 Scottsdale Drive, Wylie, Texas, represented as the
applicant, stated that the carport will closely resemble the vinyl on the garage and will
be a metal structure with a flat roof. The purpose of the carport is to allow parking for
his over-sized truck and a boat, and provide shelter from inclement weather. The
carport will be attached to the garage.
Chairman LeBaron closed the Public Hearing at 7:30pm.
A motion was made by Mr. Henry, and seconded by Mr. Morman, to GRANT the
variance from the required drive side yard setback from five (5) feet to one and one-half
(1.5) feet five and from the required rear yard setback of 25 feet to 21 feet. Motion
carried 6— 1, with Ms. Jourdan voting against.
