Section 15.F.2, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements, requires a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet. The applicant requested a variance of 500- feet, allowing a lot size of 7,000 square feet. Section 15.G.1, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a minimum front yard setback of thirty (30') feet. The applicant requested a special exception of sixteen (16') feet, allowing a front yard setback along Austin Street of � fourteen (14') feet for the proposed dwelling and covered porch. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the variance and special exception requested. Specifically, the original Lots 7 and 8, Block 104 of College Heights Addition were originally platted in 1921, predating the City's first zoning ordinance. An alley, right-of-way and developed platted property existed adjacent to the subject site, eliminating the possibility to expand the site. The special exception requested addressed the proposed front yard encroachment of approximately sixteen (16') feet into the required thirty (30') foot building setback along the east property line adjacent to Austin Street. Existing dwellings north and south of the subject site were setback at various depths ranging from approximately eight (8') feet to twenty-finro (22') feet and the placement of the structure shown on the plot plan was not inconsistent with what currently existed along Austin Street. He explained that the applicant intended to construct a finro-story, approximately 2,206 square foot home and a 623-square foot detached garage on the subject property. With no questions for Mr. Triplett, applicant Larry Marshall, of 1300 Shady Oaks Southlake, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board.

Specifically, the existing residence was built in 1977 following approval of case BZA76-04 allowing a four (4') foot encroachment into the required twenty-five (25') foot rear yard setback. Based upon the plot plan, the dwelling had been constructed with a rear yard encroachment of approximately five (5') feet and a .� Board of Zonirg AdjustmeM 3/3/2014 front yard encroachment of approximately two (2') feet into the required thirty (30') foot front yard setback. The proposed 560 square foot garage expansion maintained the � existing rear yard setback and would not exacerbate existing conditions on the subject site.

Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested special exception. Specifically the ordinance did not address architectural elements with significant height or mass such as the proposed lighthouse feature. The reduced setback from fifteen (15') feet to seven feet (7') and eight feet (8') for the north and south entry signage was necessary given the undulating topography of the subject area that rendered the signage portion of the entryway features virtually un-viewable if placed at a fifteen foot (15') setback. � With no questions for Mr. Stombaugh, Martin Schelling, of 260 Miron Drive #108, Southlake, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation to the Board and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board.
