PUBLIC HEARING
1. Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a request by Gabe Santiago for a
variance to Section 9.2.(c) Rear Yard regulations of the 1985 Zoning Ordinance
and as defined in Planned Development No. 1999-39 to reduce the rear yard
setback from the required 25 feet to 22 feet, this property being located at 3401
Olivia Drive, Lot 11, Block F in the McCreary Estates Addition. (ZBOA Case No.
2006-01).
Ms. 011ie stated that the subject property was created in December of 1999 with the
platting of Phase 1 of the McCreary Estates Addition. The property was developed
according to the special regulations of Planned Development District No. 1999-39
requiring a rear yard setback of twenty-five (25) feet.
The subject property is located on the southwest corner of Olivia Drive and Mahonia
Drive and faces north. The rear yard measures approximately 38 feet deep and
approximately 93.12 feet wide at the rear property. The southern and western side of
the rear yard abuts the adjacent residential property and is separated by a wood fence
along the property line.
The rear exit of the subject house is by a single door, opening onto a paved patio which
measures 10 feet by 20 feet. This door faces south and receives full exposure of the
afternoon sun. The applicant desires to increase the existing patio width by three feet
and the depth by five feet and to construct a shade covering over the full measurement
of the porch. The applicant desires this configuration in an effort to allow improved
backyard accessibility for a disabled relative.
The covering is to be attached to the rear wall of the residence and measures 24 feet in
width by 16 feet in depth. The covering will be 22 feet from the rear property line,
extending 3 feet into the required rear yard or a variance of 12 percent from the required
setback.
Mr. Gabe Santiago, 3401 Olivia Drive, property owner and applicant, stated that the
covered patio will provide a safe surrounding for children to play, easily accessible for
the disabled grandmother and provide protection from the sun, and rain to the back
door. The existing covering which is nine feet long does not provide adequate covering.
Mr. Dariusz Mokry, 2305 Countrymeadow Lane, Wylie, represented as the contractor,
stated that the materials will closely resemble the existing house, with yellow pine wood,
and three tab shingles to match the existing roof.
Public comment forms were mailed to twenty-five (25) property owners within 200 feet
of this request, and no comment forms were received.
