723 Swallow Drive
Coppell, Texas 75019

way.

West- single family; PD 91 ATTACHED TO

Item # 4 , _
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
single-family development.
DISCUSSION: This request is to allow for an expansion of the garage by 100 square feet
and to place additional floor space over the expanded garage of this single
family home which is not in compliance with this current masonry
requirement of 80%. Given that this property is zoned a Planned
Development District, the Board of Adjustment has no authority to act on
this variance.
This home was constructed under the provisions of PD 91 and Zoning
Ordinance 204-A-9. These previous ordinances were identical to the
current SF-7 regulations, except that the masonry requirement was not
addressed. It has been the interpretation of the Building Official that when
a PD Ordinance is silent on a specific regulation, the current regulations
are applicable when additions and expansions are constructed. The SF-7
regulations (as well as all residential districts) now require a minimum of
80% masonry.
When this home was built 71% of the exterior was masonry. This
construction was in accordance with the regulations at that time. However,
this addition is proposed to be of non-masonry material. Including this
addition, the percentage of masonry for this home will be 53 %. Per the
attached letter from the homeowner, addressed to the Board of
Adjustment, they have made a diligent effort to locate brick that matches
or is similar to the existing brick on their home. Not being able to located
appropriate brick, they opted to place hardy plank material, painted "Town
House Tan" on the addition. This portion of the home is not visible from
Swallow Drive and is only visible from the alley.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the amendment to PD 91 for 723 Swallow
Drive to allow for less than 80% masonry.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.

Board of Adjustment
City of Coppeil
Dear Board of Adjustment,
We built our home here in Coppell on Swallow Drive in June of 1985. We are in the midst of
remodeling our home to include a 2~ floor above the garage. Due to several unfortunate tums, we
respectfully request a variance to the city code requiring 80% of new homes / remodeled homes to include
80% brick / masonry.
In early February of this year when we began our remodeling we were unaware of the 80% code.
When our Architect, Gary. Oliver of Oliver Architectural Construction Company, checked with the city in
the process of obtaining the necessary permits, he learned the requirement. Mr. Oliver reworked the plans
to include brick on the east and west walls of the addition, including bricking the west side of the garage
which was originally siding, and we received our permit. Our home faces north with an alley on the south.
Our contractor, Rich Merrill of Metro Leisure Construction, contacted a local Acme Brick
distributor and was informed they had the brick in stock. Mr. Merrill poured a concrete slab, widening our
garage and set the slab to the correct dimensions to include brick. When the second floor was framed, it
too was built to include brick.
Mr. Merrill arranged for the bricklayers to begin work on our home on June 16. The week of June
12, Mr. Merrill contacted the acme distributor about delivery and discovered that they had sold the brick
they had in stock. Additionally, he discovered that our brick, Autumn Blend, had been discontinued
approximately 10 years ago.
Mr. Merrill contacted several other brick distributors, detailed below, searching for Autumn Blend
and found they too were sold out. Although, Acme has since produced another brick with the same name,
it does not match the original Autumn Blend.
We have searched for a brick similar enough as to not detract from our homes' appearance with no
luck. We have also considered stone, but discounted this option for several reasons, no small part of which
is no other homes in our neighborhood have stone.
There are several homes in our neighborhood ~4th 2~ story additions that have been completed
without brick or stone.
In conclusion, we respectfully request a variance that would allow us to complete the construction
of our addition with Hardi-plank, instead of brick.
Sincerely,
Richard & Kimberly Stacey
