8 Variance Request to the Screening and Fencing Ordinance Exhibits 251 Countryside Court, Southlake, Texas Phone: Abundant Grace Church Request for a Variance in Zoning Ordinance 480 Section 39 Abundant Grace Church, Incorporated requests of the City of Southlake variance in the Fencing Zoning Ordinance 480 Section 39 which requires a solid fence meeting the material standards of Section 39.2 erected along the side property lines abutting a residential lot to a height of eight (8) feet. Abundant Grace Church owns property located at 1970 E. Dove, Southlake, Texas in which the Northeast fence line is approximately 145 feet in length and half of which is abutting a residential lot. Abundant Grace Church s request is that we be allowed a variance in the zoning to construct the rear northeastern portion of fence (6 feet X 82 feet) in wood and allow for the remainder of (6 X 63 feet) in wrought iron on the street side of our property. The rationale for this request are based on two concepts: Safety of students (we run a small Christian Montessori School); wrought iron in the front of the northern property would allow for complete viewing of pedestrians on entering the property. If constructed as required (solid wood) pedestrian traffic would be obstructed. Neighborhood Aesthetics the front portion (wrought iron fencing) fits in with the surrounding neighborhood as most of the resident have wrought iron fencing on the street side of properties. We pray that the City Planning & Zoning Commission and the Southlake City Council would approve this request. Pastor George Craft Senior Pastor Abundant Grace Church Attachment C ZA Page 3

The submitted Tree Conservation Plan is not sufficient enough to determine what trees are affected by the proposed construction. Most importantly there are existing trees within and around the proposed parking on the south side of the building. These trees are not shown on the plan. Please provide a color Tree Conservation which shows the correct location, trunk diameter, and species of the existing trees, particularly the trees in the vicinity of any proposed construction. If the parking area north of the building is not being reconfigured the trees around it and along the creek do not need to be surveyed. Just the trees south of the building will Attachment D ZA Page 3

Green = Preserved Yellow = Borderline Red = Altered/Removed * Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures, easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved. LANDSCAPE COMMENTS: * The proposed building addition is 356 square feet and does not exceed 30% of the existing building square footage.
