CASE NO.: PD-109R2, Oakbend Addition
P & Z HEARING DATE: June 17, 1999
C.C. HEARING DATE: July 13, 1999
LOCATION: 722 Beal Lane
SIZE OF AREA: .33 acres
CURRENT ZONING: PD-SF-9 (Planned Developmem, Single Family-9)
REQUEST: PD amendment to allow a detached three-car garage with a 5-foot
sideyard setback.
APPLICANT: Mr. Glenn Gillen
722 Beal Lane
Coppell, TX. 75019
(972) 462-7752
Fax: (214) 219-2605
HISTORY: There has been no recent development on the subject property.
TRANSPORTATION: Beal Lane is a residential street, paved to 27 feet and comained
within a 50-foot r.o.w.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single-family housing; PD-109 (SF-9)
South -single-family housing; PD-109 (SF-9)
East - single-family housing; PD-109 (SF-9)
West -vacant; Light Industrial (LI)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Residential uses
Item # 5
DISCUSSION: This is a request for two alterations to a residential lot within an existing
Planned Development District. One, the applicant wants to convert an
existing attached garage into a two-story family room and wishes to build
a detached three-car garage on the back of his property. Two, in
building the new detached garage, the applicant wishes to retain an
existing willow tree necessitating a three-foot reduction to the normally
required eight-foot side yard setback. The plans submitted show at least
80% masonry construction on the garage addition, and the brick will
match the existing house brick. The only other comment to be made
relates to the Building Official's statement that the applicant would not
need the reduction in the side yard if he moved the garage into the
foliage of the willow tree, and by attaching the three-car garage to the
house by a breezeway, there would be no reason for a PD amendment.
The owner has heard these comments, and remains committed to alter
the PD to accommodate his request.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Planning staff is not overly concerned with the requested five-foot side yard setback
because adjacent to this side of the lot is an open space area dedicated to a neighborhood private
park. Thus, the reduced setback has no affect on an adjacent neighbor. Neither are we
particularly concerned about the lack of a breezeway between the three-car garage and the house.
In fact, if a breezeway were introduced here it would exacerbate the size of the buildings on site,
and actually draw more attention to the structure than if no covered walkway were built. That
being the case, staff recommends approval of the amendment to the PD as submitted, with the
following conditions:
-the addition and detached garage will have a minimum of 80 % masonry, each
-the brick used in the garage and house addition will match the existing brick color
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Residence Addition Floor Plan
2) Residence Elevations
3) Site/Garage Floor Plan
