To: Zoning Board of Adjustments
From: Debbie Scarcella,City Planner
Date: December12,2018
Re: Staff Report for Docket 18-007,008,&009
Applicant's Request
The applicant in Docket 18-007,008,and 009,3715 Wroxton Rd.,is requesting two special exceptions and one
variance for a proposed project at 3715 Wroxton.The applicant is asking for a special exception for a design that
will allow a driveway width of 30'to accommodate a three car garage;a special exception for alternative
materials for at least a portion of the driveway;and,a variance to allow the front facing garage doors to be 3.1'
from the front yard(setback).
Background Information
The property at 3715 Wroxton Rd.is located in an SF-3 zoning district and is an odd-shaped lot. The lot is
111.00 x 75.40 x 98.30 x 48.60. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing garage which is in a
dilapidated state from water damage and replace it with a three car garage in approximately the same location.
The first special exception request would allow for a 30'wide driveway to facilitate the use of the three car
garage. The maximum width is twenty feet. Also requested is a special exception to allow material in at least a
portion of the driveway that does not comply with the regulations. The materials are pervious but do not meet
the definition of pervious pavement in the zoning regulations. This is being requested in order to help save a
large tree in the front yard. The final request is a variance for a front facing garage setback in the front yard.The
garage is currently non-compliant and likely has prior nonconforming status for the garage regulations. Once a
nonconforming garage is demolished all prior nonconforming status is lost. The applicant wants to replace the
old garage at the same location as it currently sits,and enclose an additional area at the front of the house which
currently is a deck on concrete blocks. The front of the new garage space would be even with the line of the
existing spaces.
Special Exception#1-Driveway Width
In the front yard,a driveway serving a front loading garage may not exceed 20'in width. The applicant is
proposing a driveway that will at some points be 34'10"in width at its widest point about 13'into the front yard.
This width is to accommodate the proposed three car garage. The ZBA has the authority to grant this special
exception through Table 7-5a,Note 7 if the alternative plan meets one of the four criteria stated in the Note
(attached). The ZBA must also find that the request is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Zoning Ordinance and that the request will not cause any significant increase in on-street parking or traffic,
traffic congestion,or an unreasonable burden upon public utilities or services. The burden is on the applicant to
present evidence to the Board to support each finding and determination required for the issuance of this special
exception. If the Board grants the special exception,the Board can attach conditions.

Special Exception#2-Allow for driveway material that is not pervious pavement.
The application is proposing to construct the driveway with an alternative material than specified in the
ordinance. The driveway is proposed to be black star gravel with an 18' concrete edging. Table 7-5,Note 4
authorizes the ZBA to grant a special exception for an alternative material that is of equivalent durability to hard
surfaced pavement. The ZBA must also find that the request is in harmony with the general purpose and intent
of the Zoning Ordinance and that the request will not cause any significant increase in on-street parking or
traffic,traffic congestion,or an unreasonable burden upon public utilities or services. The burden is on the
applicant to present evidence to the Board to support each finding and determination required for the issuance of
this special exception. If the Board grants the special exception,the Board can attach conditions.
Variance Request-Garage door setback
When a garage structure with PNC status is demolished,a replacement garage must be built that conforms to the
zoning regulations. Due to the shallow depth of the building site,the applicant cannot meet the requirement to
set the garage doors back from the front building line an additional 10'. The applicant is asking that the ZBA
authorize the doors in the current location and authorize the additional garage space at the same measurement
from the front setback,which is approximately four feet. The loss of parking room would be accommodated by
the driveway to the additional parking stall,should the special exception be granted.
The findings to grant a favorable result for this application are as follows:
1. The ZBA must find that a literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in an unnecessary
hardship.
2. By granting the variance would the spirit of the ordinance be observed and substantial justice done?
3. Would the variance be contrary to the public interest?
Staff believes that the ZBA has the authority to grant this variance,but according to Section 11- 102 of the
zoning regulations,the ZBA may not issue a variance unless all of the following circumstances are present:
(1)The ZBA has made all findings and determinations required by state law for the granting of a variance.A
"special condition"or"hardship"that is self-created,personal or based only on financial reasons is not sufficient
to support the issuance of a variance.
(2)The ZBA has made any additional findings and determinations required by a specific provision of this
section which relates to the variance.
(3)The variance has been reduced to writing and includes any conditions prescribed by the ZBA or required by
this section for the variance in question.

Form ZBA.1 CY
3715 Wroxton request for variance and special exceptions:
Overview: My house is in dire need of repairs,the driveway is in horrible condition(cracked,heaving,
broken)due to tree roots and the property behind me is flooding my house during heavy rains. The
request for variance/issues is due to my odd shaped lot(111'wide x 48'deep). The existing
setbacks/easements,etc are written for the majority"standard"sized WU lots(50'wide x 100'+deep).
• Background-Years ago I tried to sell my property to local builders instead of attempting
a remodel(based on the extent of remodeling work that needs to be done),but the
builders were not interested because of the different shaped lot and the setbacks they
would have to conform to. Because they couldn't fit a house large enough on the lot to
make it worth the cost(due to new construction setbacks/easements)they all walked
away.
• My lot is the opposite of the majority of the lots in the WU. Instead of being the
"standard"50'wide x 100+'deep,my lot is 111'wide and 48'deep.
• My actual want/need was to make the house a 4 bed 3 4 bath house(currently 3—2''A),
but because of aerial easements the architect could not make it work so I settled on a
standard 3-car garage.
• A couple years ago Mirador builders built on the lot behind me and didn't install any
backyard drainage per the plans(City allowed this or let this slip through the cracks)and
now during heavy rains the lower level of my house gets water(there is a step down in
my backyard and kitchen that goes into a family room,utility and garage). I have spent
thousands trying to prevent further damage(grading,landscape,drains and a pump)but
the damage is done(water damaged trim,siding,baseboards,tile,furniture/rug
damage)and the only solution is to raise that area of my yard/house(hence this
project). I have concerns about mold now as well.
• Per my last point,a major reason for this project/addition is to raise the foundation and
low area of my yard to further prevent being flooded by adjoining properties
• I planned on starting on this project fall of 2017 but Harvey hit(my plans were
submitted 2 weeks before the hurricane). Instead I helped 32 families who flooded get
back in their houses over the last year,therefore my personal project got delayed. Over
the last year my issues have worsened.
• Because of the special shaped lot I need this variance to allow me to retain my garage
footprint in its existing location
• I am also requesting a variance to allow for a 30'wide driveway on the front of the
house to accommodate a 3 car garage. As stated,my front yard/curb is 111'wide. Even
with a 30'driveway it will still allow for a plethora of front yard/green space. I will still
have 81'of green space in my front yard(which is still 30'+more than the majority of
the lots in the city)
• I have what I am told is one of the top 10 biggest/oldest trees in West U ripping my
driveway apart. I am extremely cognizant of the tree and want to do everything in my
power to preserve and protect it. I feel the best way to do this is to put in a black star
driveway in lieu of concrete. Not only has the existing concrete slowly cracked apart
entire sections have heaved up several inches(dangerous)due to the tree roots.

Re: Drive way construction as it relates to preservation of 48" Live Oak at 3715 Wroxton,
West University Place,Texas.
Dear Ms. Scarcella:
I have reviewed site plan submitted for new home and driveway construction at 3715 Wroxton
and find construction of a new concrete drive, in similar location as existing, will have
significant impact on long-term survival and structural integrity of a 48" Live Oak. 6-8"
diameter roots have pushed the existing drive up and allowed the roots to grow at an elevation
that is in conflict with forming and pouring a new concrete drive. Construction of a concrete
drive would appear to require cutting of major roots some 2-3' from the base of the tree's trunk.
The amount of root loss associated with the root cutting would significantly compromise the
tree's long-term survival and structural integrity.
Using a 3 to 6' wide band of aggregate, or other permeable material, running east to west
through proposed drive would allow construction of concrete drive up to, and then on the other
side of tree roots and avoid need to cut them for forms and excavation related to concrete
construction. Regardless of aggregate or permeable area type, stabilization and excavation of
existing soil and roots beneath existing drive will not be feasible if tree is to be preserved.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like any additional information.
Sincerely,
(./:7 /
