CASE NO.: PD-110R, PECAN HOLLOW
P & Z HEARING DATE: September 17, 1998
C.C. HEARING DATE: October 13, 1998
LOCATION: 325 Beechwood Lane.
SIZE OF AREA: 8,280 s.f.; approximately 2,250 s.f. 2-story structure and proposed
approximately 800 s.f. 2-story addition
CURRENT ZONING: PD-SF-9
REQUEST: Amendment to the Planned Development.
APPLICANT: Applicant:
Mitchell and Kay Schnurman
325 Beechwood Dr
Coppell TX 75019
972-462-8023
HISTORY: City Council rezoned this property from SF-12 to PD-SF9 in 1990.
In 1992 Council amended the PD site plan to permit a 23' front
yard setback on Lot 17, Block C (324 Beechwood Lane), instead
of 25'.
TRANSPORTATION: Beechwood Lane is a 28'-wide residential street within a 50'-wide
right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Single-family residential; SF-7 & PD-Residential
South - Single-family residential; TC, SF-9 & PD-SF9
East - Single-family residential; PD Residential
West - Single-family residential; SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
medium-density residential uses.
Item # 6
DISCUSSION: Since the property is within a Planned Development District, the Board of
Adjustment has no jurisdiction over side yard variances. Therefore,
because the applicant wants to extend a building addition one foot within a
required side yard, the appropriate procedure is to request a PD site plan
amendment.
The purpose is to accommodate a proposed new washer/dryer area. This
can be accomplished with or without the site plan amendment, because
Section 32-3 of the Zoning Ordinance permits the projection of
architectural features such as window sills and cornices by as much as 12
inches. However, to do that would require cantilevering the floor out
from the foundation. With no foundation upon which to rest the exterior
brick veneer, the practical solution would be to face this portion of the
structure with wood siding, while the applicant and the applicant's next-
door neighbor prefer an all-brick exterior. Consequently the site plan
amendment accomplishes a better result with no greater intrusion on the
side yard than that which is already permissible.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The planning staff recommends approval subject to the site plan and
building elevations as submitted.
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.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Site Plan, Elevations & Applicant's Supporting Material
