SC TT ILLIAMS DI ECT R DEVELOPMENT SERVICES/ BU DI G OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM BUILDING INSPECTIONS MEMO TO: BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS FROM: SCOTT WILLIAMS, BUILDING OFFICIAL SUBJECT: BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS CASE #BBA13-03 3710 Kelsey Court MEETING DATE: May 13, 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 3710 Kelsey Court, legally described as Lot 26, Block 1, Woodland Estates Addition: 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') wood fence within the required and established front yard. SPECIAL CONDITION: Staff feels a special condition exist for this request, as the portion of the front yard in which the fence encroaches does not resemble a typical front yard, nor function as a typical front yard. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The application was submitted by property owner Terrie Walsh. The proposed fence will replace an existing chain link fence. Because of the shape of the lot and its location in the cul-de-sac, the front building line extends well into the area in which the side yard is typically designated. The fence does not encroach into the portion of the front yard adjacent to the street. Lastly, the fence intersects the property line in a way in which it does not impair the view from adjacent homes. 0AMemo1BBA13-03 R-12.5 -HIGHIL.Lrt�� Subject Property 0 1 inch = 200 feet R-12.5 BBA13-03 3710 Kelsey Court E NiKx n � m PART 1.

Speck nature of appeal: I -- N/A My property sits at a very strange angle to the street. I would like a fencing variation that would allow me to put up a 6 foot wood fence lat the front of the house. Due to the odd angle, this fence will cross the front of the house line. Although it crosses the line, the fence will actually look like it does not due to the strange angle. If the fence was place on the front house line, it would be an unattractive eyesore and detract from the neighborhood appearance. 5. State justification for the appeal and explain how a hardship would be created if the appeal is not granted. Explain how your situation is peculiar to the circumstances contemplated by the ordinance and attach drawings necessary to help explain the case to the Board. {You do not need to attach the same drawings as attached to your application for a building permit as the Building Official will provide the Board with those records. It is hard to explain in written why this property is unique in how it is situated. My neighbors, to the left when facing my house, side would still be about 60 feet in front of the location I would like to place my fence. On the right side, I would like to replace the ,chain link fence with a privacy fence. The area of my backyard were all the kids play is visible from the street. I feel it is important to F ve a safe, protected place for my kids and the neighborhood kids to play. We always have kids over and they can been easily seen the street. It is easier to hop over a 4 foot chain link fence than a 6 foot wood fence. Thank you for considering my request.
