Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a request from Joey McMullin for
a variance to Section 11.3 of Planned Development 1999-32 (SF-A) requiring a
minimum of 20 feet side yard setback for building, property located at 3110 Jacob
Drive, Lot 11, Block H of the Creekside Estates Phase 1 Addition. ZBA 2017-10
Staff Comments
Ms. 011ie stated that the applicant is requesting a nine (9) foot side yard
setback that is adjacent to a street. The property is within the Creekside
Estates Addition, and is a corner lot with the front facing Jacob Drive and
the side faces Eugene Drive.
On August 28, 2017, the applicant submitted an Accessory Building
permit application to construct a 582 square foot patio cover that would
extend sixteen feet from the side of the house. On the site survey
includes the 20 foot build line and the outline of the patio cover. The
application was approved by Building Inspections on September 8,
2017. A foundation permit was also approved on September 8, 2017.
The application and foundation permit were approved in error because
of the zoning on the property; being located within a Planned
Development, and the Zoning Ordinance set in place at the time the
property was constructed, requires a 20 foot setback when adjacent to
a side street for accessory structure sharing the same roofline as the
main structure. The side setback must meet the same side setbacks as
the main structure.The error was not caught until October 5, 2017,when
a framing inspection was done. The applicant was notified to stop work.
On October 11, 2017, the applicant contacted Ms. 011ie to request
permission to do work that would protect the weather elements from his
home. This request was granted.
The request represents a 45% adjustment to the requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance. The setback is an established building line, parallel
to a property line, over which no part of a building shall project, except
as otherwise provided by the zoning ordinance.
The applicant did obtain approval from his Homeowner's Association,
with notation that permits were obtained from the City of Wylie. The
application to the Homeowner's Association included the same drawings
that were submitted to the City of Wylie.
Public comment forms were mailed to 28 property owners, and two
comment forms were returned both in favor of the request.

the back. The estimate of cost for construction did change from $18,000
up to $25,000, depending upon how it is finished out, and now it could
MEM
cost about $40,000. The work on the project is being done individually
and not by contractor. The structure sits about eleven feet from the
fence.
Public Comments
Chair Jourdan opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Joe Jerrier, 1414 Eugene Drive, neighbor of the subject property,
and the president of HOA, spoke in favor of the request stating the
structure is an enhancement to the neighborhood. Mr. Jerrier further
asked for clarification on accessory buildings setbacks. Ms. 011ie stated
that in 2015 the Zoning Ordinance was revised due to number of
variances made because of rear setbacks, not because of side yard
setbacks.
Chair Jourdan closed the Public Hearing.
