PUBLIC HEARINGS } Item 1 ZBA 2017-07 Minutes August 21, 2017 Wylie Zoning Board of Adjustment Page 1 of 6 Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a request from Mohammed Haxat for a Variance to Section 1 B of PD 94-48 for properties requiring a minimum of 10' side yard building separation, property located at 216 Piccadilly Circle, Lot 12B, Block H of the Wyndham Estates Phase 2 Addition. ZBA 2017-07 Staff Comments Mr. Haskins stated that the property is located at 216 Piccadilly Circle and is zoned Planned Development 94-48. The applicant is requesting a variance to Section 1 B of the Planned Development 94-48 requiring the side separation from each structure to be 101. The applicant is requesting this requirement be reduced to 7'. The PD allows for setback to be from structure to structure, which is unique. The Zoning Ordinance requires setbacks to property lines. However, the PD allows for zero lot lines and requires setbacks from structure to structure. The property is an infill lot, within an established subdivision, causing the hardship. Twenty-Nine comment forms were mailed out. Three comment forms were received in opposition and one comment form was received in favor of the request. Board Discussion Mr. McCullough stated that the property doesn't have budding code violations, but zoning violations. The atypical situation of this building is the setback is from structure to structure. Whereas, all of the other subdivisions that allow zero lot line, the setbacks are from property line to property line. Mr. Haskins stated that the current Zoning Ordinance does not allow the setbacks from structure to structure, it is from property line to property line. Mr. McCullough stated that when the plans were reviewed and approved by Building Inspections, the setbacks from structure to structure were noted on the plot plans. When the plumbing rough was inspected, the form survey and plot plan were compared and the inspection failed due to inconsistency of setbacks. When plans are submitted for a permit, the adjacent residential structures are not shown on the plot plan. Mr. Muhammad Haxat, Builder, stated that he and the Engineer pulled the current Zoning Ordinance and not the Planned Development Ordinance 1994•-48. When the permit was picked up, did not notice the notation of the required setbacks from structure to structure.

Ms. Patricia Stratton, 214 Piccadilly Circle, spoke in opposition of the request, stating that her house is built on the property line. The house was 12 years old when purchased, and she has lived there for 18 years. Chair Jourdan closed the Public Hearing. Board Action A motion was made by Board Member Holcomb, and seconded by Vice Chair Potts to Deny the request for a Variance to Section 1 B of PD 94- 48 for properties requiring a minimum of 10' side yard building separation.

Item 2 —ZBA 2017-08 Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a request by Nga Kim Nguyen for a variance to Section 5.2.F.5 Body Art Studio of the Zoning Ordinance for an interpretation of the definition for Permanent Cosmetics. Property located at 2771 W FM 544, Suite 108, being Lot 2, Block A of the A&W Properties No 2 Addition. ZBA 2017-08 Staff Comments Mr. Molina stated that the applicant is requesting a variance to the interpretation of how the permanent cosmetic use is defined within Article 5 of the Use Regulations in the Zoning Ordinance. The Body Art Studio use of the Zoning Ordinance is currently allowed in the Light and Heavy Industrial Districts, and is defined as an establishment whose services include tattooing and/or body piercing. The applicant's use is defined as microblading or Intradermal Cosmetics and is a manual skill of semi-permanent eyebrow drawing. In March 2017, the Texas Health and Human Services separated the licensing requirements for Tattooing, Intradermal Cosmetics, and Body Piercing. The Texas Department of State Health Services requires a license for the intradermal cosmetics, or microblading service, and involves the insertion of pigments under the skin. The upkeep of microblading depends on the client's skin and preference on how often they return for touch ups. Minutes August 21, 2017 Wylie Zoning Board of Adjustment Page 3 of 6 Mr. Molina further stated that Staff was currently in the process of revising the Zoning Ordinance to include Intradermal Cosmetics, and will be classified separate from Tattooing and Body Piercing. Twenty-six comments were mailed to property owners within 200 feet. Three comments were returned in opposition and one was returned in favor of the request. Ms. Nga Kim Nguyen, 2771 W FM 544, Suite 108, applicant for the request, stated that she is licensed for intradermal cosmetics or microblading. Microblading is a service used for Cancer survivors that have lost their hair and those that have suffered from Alopecia. The microblading involves hand drawing small hair strokes using a needle under the top layer of the skin, but not a tattoo machine. The microblading is a semi-permanent procedure, and requires a touch up every 12 to 24 months, due to fading of the hair strokes. The focus is only to enhance the natural eyebrows, lips and eyelashes. Ms. Nguyen stated that her salon is not open at this location. The services that she will offer is manicure, pedicure and facial applications, as well as the microblading. Public Comments Chair Jourdan opened the Public Hearing. With no one approaching the Board Members, Chair Jourdan closed the Public Hearing. Board Action A motion was made by Vice Chair Potts, and seconded by Board Member Holcomb, to Grant the variance to Section 5.2.F.5 Body Art Studio of the Zoning Ordinance to permit Intradermal Cosmetics. Property located at 2771 W FM 544, Suite 108, being Lot 2, Block A of the A&W Properties No 2 Addition. Motion carried 4 — 0.

No comment forms were received in opposition and one in favor was received in favor of the request. Mr.James Donaldson, 3920 E Park Blvd, Plano, represented Habitat for Humanity of South Collin County. The property has several trees that have overgrown into the electrical lines. Mr. Donaldson expressed appreciation to Staff for contacting with Oncor and getting them to trim the trees back. The purpose for the request is not only to save the mature trees on the property, but to keep the character of the neighborhood, and provide shade for the home. Mr. Donaldson stated that a four foot sidewalk is existing in front of the home. Even though the request is for a three foot sidewalk, a four foot sidewalk could be constructed from power pole to power pole. E Public Comments Chair Jourdan opened the Public Hearing.
