Conduct a Public Hearing regarding a request for a variance from Sec. 14.02.154(i) of the Trophy Club Code of Ordinances to allow a third single-car garage door to face a public dedicated right of way in an R-10, Single-Family Residential zoning district on property described as Lot 1365R2, Trophy Club #11 Addition, addressed as 55 Meadowbrook Lane in the Town of Trophy Club, Denton County, Texas. b. Take appropriate action regarding a request for a variance from Sec. 14.02.154(i) of the Trophy Club Code of Ordinances to allow a third single-car garage door to face a public dedicated right of way in an R-10, Single-Family Residential zoning district on property described as Lot 1365R2, Trophy Club #11 Addition, addressed as 55 Meadowbrook Lane in the Town of Trophy Club, Denton County, Texas. Background and Explanation: Approval of a variance is being requested to allow a single-car garage door to face the street in the R-10 Single Family District. The subject property is 16,988.4 square feet in area. Per Sec. 14.02.154(i) of the Code of Ordinances, garage doors are not allowed to face the street in the R- 10 district. While the proposed garage door is not compliant with the prohibition, the prohibition does not appear to have been in effect in the 1980s when Trophy Club Section #11 was developed. There is at least one house adjacent to the subject property (40 Rockwood, built in 1992) that has a front-facing garage (Exhibit D). The proposed house at 55 Meadowbrook is otherwise compliant with all setbacks, easements, maximum lot coverage, and minimum floor area (Exhibit C). Public notice was published in the newspaper and sent to those who own property within 200 feet of the subject property. To date, staff has received zero inquiries. Page 2 of 2 Zoning Board of Adjustment Authority: The Zoning Board of Adjustment has the authority to act upon a request for variance. The following should be considered in determining the validity of a hardship. 1. Is the request owing to a distinct condition inherent in the property itself (e.g., irregularly- shaped lot, unusual topography, etc.)? 2. Is the condition unique to the property (e.g., unusual slope, odd location, etc.)? 3. Is the condition self-imposed or self-created? 4. Is the request owing to a financial hardship? 5. Will a literal enforcement of the zoning ordinance result in an unnecessary hardship? 6. Will the hardship prevent any reasonable use whatsoever? 7. Will the granting of the variance be contrary to public interest? 8. Is the request within the spirit of the ordinance and does it further substantial justice? The decision of the Board is final.
