O WILLIAMS D EC OR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES/ BUI NG OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM BUILDING INSPECTIONS MEMO TO: BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS FROM: SCOTT WILLIAMS, BUILDING OFFICIAL SUBJECT: BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS CASE #13�13-03 3055 West Kimball Avenue MEETING DATE: September 9, 2013 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Building Board of Appeals Approve the following request to City of Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Chapter 7, Article IV, Fences, for property addressed as 3055 West Kimball Avenue, legally described as Tract 1A, Franklin Wood Survey: Section 7-127, Fences, Front Yard Requirements, requires fences constructed in a required or established front yard to be 36 inches or less in height, and have at least 50 percent through vision. The applicant is requesting to construct a six-foot tall (6) cattle panel fence with more than 50 percent through vision within the required and established front yard. SPECIAL CONDITION: Staff feels special conditions exist for this request. This property is not located within a typical residential subdivision, being over seven (7) acres in size. Additionally, much of the property is within flowage easement, and would be difficult if not impossible to develop. This makes the proposed agricultural use appropriate, and the applicant has stated the fence is necessary to contain animals. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The application was submitted by property owner Lynn Fitzgerald. The Board has approved fences that exceed three -feet (3') in front yards along Kimball in the past. 0AMemo1BBA13-04 smells iSubject Property >wi' ♦ aukt vow .

Because this is a front yard, I need to apply for a variance for a fence taller than 3 feet. This is a 7 acre property and I plan to keep Welsh ponies, so I hope you will be willing to grant a variance to permit a 6 foot panel fence. I want to make sure the ponies don't get out to Kimball road. The panels are cattle panels (heavy 4x4 wire), reinforced with pipe surrounds. T posts will be used every 10 feet for support. These are completely see through and will not obstruct the line of sight. There is no house or any other structure on the property at this time. I do eventually plan to construct a house, which will be situated approximately 340 feet off of Kimball road, on the east side of the property. The driveway will exit onto Kimball. The home construction may not start for up to 2 years. I have attached copies of the most recent survey from 2013, and also the previous survey which shows the flowage easement elevations. The proposed fence, house site and road are marked. I have also attached photos looking along the property to the east and west from the same side and opposite side of the street while standing in what will be the driveway opening. A drawing showing the fence specifications and photo of sample panels is also attached. Much of the property is under a flowage easement from the Corp of Engineers. Because this is a wire fence, permission to construct it is not needed from them, but at the request of the City I have obtained a letter stating that the Corp has no objections to the fence. I will bring the Corp regulations and letter to the meeting in case you wish to review those. Thank you for your consideration.

The request was to Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Chapter 7, Article IV, Fences: Section 7-127, Fences, Front Yard Requirements, requires fences constructed in a required or established front yard to be 36 inches or less in height, and have at least 50 percent through vision. Scott Williams explained that Staff recommended the Building Board of Appeals approve the applicant's request for approval of a six-foot tall (6) cattle panel fence with more than 50 percent through vision within the required and established front yard. Mr. Williams explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the request. Specifically, the property was not located within a typical residential subdivision, being over seven (7) acres in size. He stated that a large portion of the property was in a flowage easement and could not be developed. The property was adjacent to a busy street and the proposed request was to contain animals and keep predators off of the property. He further stated that the 2 Building Board of Appeals 9/9/13 Board had approved fences that exceeded three -feet (3') in front yards along Kimball Avenue in the past. Joe Lipscomb asked Mr. Williams if the variance requested was only for the portion of the property that fronted Kimball Avenue. Mr. Williams stated, that was correct, the variance requested was only for the frontage along Kimball Avenue, any portion of a fence within the 25 -foot required front yard or in front of a future residence required a variance if it exceeded three -feet (3') in height. With no further questions for Mr. Williams, applicant Dr. Lynn Fitzgerald of 216 North Teague Street, Longview, Texas addressed the Board. She explained the purpose of her requested variance was to contain five (5) aging Welsh ponies. The ponies had been known to jump fences and wanted to prevent them from getting out onto Kimball Avenue; as well as preventing Coyotes and other predators from coming onto the property. She further stated she wanted to clarify misunderstandings the surrounding neighbors had about her requested variance. She explained that the request was for Kimball Avenue not Cliffside. She presented two (2) additional options for fencing to the Board, one being a four -foot (4') Cattle Panel fence instead of the requested six-foot (6') Cattle Panel fence and the second being a six-foot (6) Pipe Rail fence. She requested favorable consideration of her request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. With no questions for Dr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Gary Kohr, of 2801 Cliffside Court, addressed the Board. He. explained that he and the surrounding neighbors were under the impression that the entire property was being fenced to contain livestock. He stated that if the only portion that was to be fenced was along Kimball Avenue there were no issues. Russell Kidd asked Mr. Williams if the applicant could fence the remaining property without a variance request. Mr. Williams explained to the Board that the applicant could fence her property without a variance by right as long as it was not in the required or established front yard. With no further questions for Mr. Williams, Mr. Eddy Morris, of 2813 Cliffside Court, addressed the Board. He requested clarification of the location of the fence in regards to Cliffside Court. Mr. Lipscomb explained to Mr. Morris that the applicant could construct a fence on her property in her rear yard as long as it complied with the fence ordinance. Mr. Williams explained that the applicant could construct a fence up to eight -feet (8') in her side and rear yard without having to apply for a variance. The only request before the Board was for a fence that exceeded three -feet (3') along Kimball Avenue. With no questions for Mr. Morris, Mr. Gary Kohr, of 2801 Cliffside Court, re -addressed the Board. He expressed concerns of the neighbors regarding the potential of a livestock fence. Building Board of Appeals 9/9/13 With no questions for Mr. Kohr, Mr. Charles Thompson, of 2828 Rockport Cove expressed his concerns and disapproval about the development of subject property. With no further questions for Mr. Thompson, and no additional speakers, Jerrold Sklar made a motion to close the public hearing. Russell Kidd seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Lipscomb, Sklar, Kidd, Hallman, Hardister, Biesiadny, Young Nays: None Absent: None Russell Kidd a motion that a special condition existed.
