Title
Consider approval of a variance request to the Right-of Way- for a Final Plat, Lot 1, Block B, Warren Addition, on a 5.97 acre tract located north of North Tarrant Parkway, approximately 150 feet northwest of the Keller Smithfield Road and North Tarrant Parkway intersection, addressed as 82 Wilson Lane, zoned Single-Family 36,000 square-foot lots (SF-36). William Warren, owner. Cody Baker, Applicant.
Background:
• The Property owner would like to add an approximately 10 x 10-foot utility room to the existing house. Normally, this would simply require a building permit but this property has never been platted.
• The owner and tenant are required by per Section 4.05 (E) of the UDC to plat the property before obtaining the required building permits.
• During the platting process, the applicant and owner were made aware that they would be required to dedicate right-of-way along Keller-Smithfield Road which was approximately 1.16 acres.
• Because the value of the right-of-way dedication far exceeds the value of the proposed expansion for the utility room, the rule of proportionality comes into play.
• With the advice of the City Attorney, this application has been brought forward to request a variance to the usually required Right-of-Way Dedication for the plat.
