West University Place Public Works Department
To: The Building and Standards Commission
From: Brett Cast,Assistant Director of Public Works
Date: March 6, 2025
Re: Requesting a variance to rebuild a fence in its current location,which is outside the property
line to encroach 4.8 feet into the city's right-of-way on the west side of the property.
Background Information:
The City of West University Place received a permit to replace a fence that was damaged in July 2024 during
Hurricane Beryl. Upon receipt of the permit application staff noted that the proposed location of the new
fence was beyond the property line and positioned in the city's Right-Of-Way (ROW). Staff informed the
applicant that constructing a new fence beyond the property boundary is prohibited and the new fence must
be in compliance with the current codes.
The applicant submitted a variance request to the Building and Standards Commission(BCS) on February
18, 2025, requesting consideration for their application and permission to replace the fence in its previous
position. In its previous position the fence encroached into the city's ROW 4.8 feet.
Staff notes that in addition to the determination of the BSC,the applicant will still be required to obtain an
agreement from the City Council in order to construct the fence in its previous location.
Applicable Regulations:
• Sec, 74-2. Definitions.
Right-of-way shall mean area on, below, or above a street, sidewalk, alley, waterway, or utility easement in
which a governmental body has a legal interest. The term does not include the wireless telecommunications.
• Sec. 18-201.—Property Lines.
It shall be the responsibility of any person who constructs a fence, or causes it to be constructed, to locate the
fence within the property lines.
• Sec. 70-200.—ROW fees.; (a)

In general. Each user shall compensate the city by payment of a ROW fee as provided below. Exception:
This requirement does not apply to telecommunications facilities, to the extent fees are prohibited or
preempted by V.T.C.A., Local Government Code ch. 283.
Staff Report:
Staff is charged with being stewards of the public domain. As a matter of accountability staff must prohibit
the "granting"of public land for private interest. Staff is bound by the legal regulations and standards that
prohibit permitting a fence beyond the boundaries of the applicant's property.
Staff has conducted a site visit with the City Arborist, Building Inspector, and Assistant Director of Public
Works. Upon the direction of the City Arborist, a fence can be built on the property line without damage to
the existing tree. His recommendation required sections of the fence line to be "hand dug"to protect the
roots but the position of the fence is capable to be in accordance with standards and regulations.
Staff submits that although this fence has been positioned beyond the property line prior to the receipt of the
permit application that it should be brought into compliance at this time. We are at the nexus of a non-
compliant feature and an application to reconstruct said feature, now is the time to most seamlessly bring this
feature into compliance.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the BSC deny the variance request. Staff has received input from the City Arborist who
has determined that the fence can be constructed in a compliant location without damaging the existing tree
and staff is bound to prohibit construction of a fence in the public domain intended for private interest.
Sec. 18-20. Variances.:
a) Generally. The BSC has limited authority to issue variances from ordinances subject to its appellate
authority or quasijudicial enforcement authority.
b) Applications.Any person who is restricted or regulated by a provision of the ordinance in question may
apply for a variance. However, the application must either be signed by the owner of the property
involved or must be accompanied by written proof that the person who does sign has specific authority
from the owner to apply for the variance sought.Applications for variance must be made upon forms
prescribed by the building official, must be complete, must be signed under oath, must be accompanied
by the fee prescribed by the city and must be filed with the building official. The application must
include the following:
3826 Amherst St. www.westutx.gov
West University Place, TX 77005
713-662-5830
City of
West University Place Public Works Department
1) The particular requirement, cited by section and paragraph number, from which a variance is
sought.
2) The nature of the hardship imposed by the requirement.
3) Any proposed condition, alternative method or procedure to be followed in lieu of the
requirement.
4) The effect of the requested variance, upon the city as a whole and upon nearby residents and
properties.
5) The estimated cost, in dollars, of complying with the requirement.
6) Other items required by the building official or the BSC.
c) Handling; notice. The building official shall transmit applications to the BSC, which has sole authority to
issue variances. If the building official determines that an application would possibly have a significant
effect upon other properties or persons,the building official shall attempt to provide notice to such
persons prior to the time when the BSC will consider the variance. Such notice may be given by
publication,posting or mail, as the building official may determine.
d) Permissive factors. In considering a variance,the BSC may take the following into account:
1) Whether the variance will assist in the protection or preservation of historic structure or in the
protection or preservation of old stock housing (as such housing then exists or as it may be
proposed to be remodeled or expanded).
2) Whether the application involves remedial work necessary to bring a structure into compliance
with applicable ordinances.
3) Whether there are other similar circumstances in existence.
e) Mandatory factors. In considering a variance, the BSC shall take the following into account:
1) Whether the applicant has made an earnest, good faith effort to comply with the requirement.
2) Whether the applicant brought the matter to the attention of the city on his own motion, without
intervention or enforcement action by any city official.
3) Whether alternative methods or procedures will achieve the same, or substantially the same, result
as literal compliance with the requirement.
f) Required findings. The BSC may not issue a variance unless it affirmatively finds all of the following:
1) The imposition of the requirement imposes an exceptional hardship upon the applicant. It is the
general intent of this section that financial cost, alone,would not ordinarily constitute an
exceptional hardship.
2) No reasonable and feasible method or procedure is currently available to comply with the
requirement.
3826 Amherst St. zvwzv.zvestutx.gov
West University Place, TX 77005
713-662-5830
City of
West University Place Public Works Department
3) The imposition of the requirement is unjustified because of good and sufficient cause
demonstrated to the BSC.
4) The variance will not introduce or increase any threat to public health or safety.
5) The variance is consistent with the purpose and intent of the ordinance in question.
6) The variance will not cause a nuisance and will not unreasonably interfere with the use of nearby
property.
7) The variance will not cause a fraud to be worked upon the public or any individual.
8) The variance will not cause an increase in public expenditures or budgets.
9) The variance will not create an irreconcilable conflict with any other ordinance, law,rule or
regulation.
g) Form of variances; conditions; recordation. No variance is effective unless it is in writing and signed by
the duly authorized officers of the BSC. The BSC may impose restrictions or conditions upon
any variance and may require that notice of a variance be recorded in the real property records of the
county, at the expense of the applicant.
h) Effect of variance. Variances do not create any property right or vested right. Variances remain subject to
the regulatory control of the city. When a variance has been issued, the building official may not deny a
permit because of noncompliance with the requirement affected by the variance,provided that all
conditions are complied with. It shall be an affirmative defense, in any proceeding to enforce the
requirement,that a variance was issued to authorize the conduct in question,that the variance has not
been modified or revoked and that all applicable conditions have been fully observed and complied with.
i) Revocation; modification. The BSC may revoke or modify any variance previously issued, provided that
a good faith attempt is first made to notify the person who applied for the variance.

Current fence, easement, and tree at corner of Wake Forest and Talbott Streets
Background on Fence
We have owned our home at 2738 Talbott since March 2022. At all times during our ownership,
the fence on the west side of our property has been in the same location. Based on our
research, and from information from our immediate neighbor Rich Weiss (a 24 year resident of
his property), the fence in question has been in the same location dating back over 15 years.
During Hurricane Beryl, the fence suffered damage, necessitating its replacement. In
connection with preparing for that work, it was determined that the fence has been located four
feet outside the bounds of our property line, into the City of West University's easement.

The 100-Year-Old Oak Tree
A 100-year-old oak tree sits inside our property line in the backyard along Wake Forest.
Decades before we bought our home, the fence was positioned in the city's right of way in order
to protect this tree. We, and the three previous owners of this house, were told the city knew of
and agreed with this position of the fence. There is no sidewalk, nor any plans to build one in
the future, on this corner. There are no sidewalks along Wake Forest on the north or south
sides of our block, at Arbuckle or Cason. Most importantly, there is no neighbor impacted by the
position of the fence as it stands. Its current position has been of no impact to anyone for over a
decade. On the following pages, we share images of the historic tree, and the easements along
our property line and the two properties immediately north and south of our home.

View of easement along Wake Forest at our fence line and the property immediately north, each
with no sidewalk.
The Fence Location Has Protected the Tree for Years
The fence as it stands on our property was built at least 15 years and four homeowners ago.
When we, and the prior three owners, purchased the home, the survey showed the fence set off
from the property line, into the grass easement on the corner of Wake Forest and Talbott
(Attachment A). We were each told it was built there with permission from the city, and with
recommendation from the arborist, due to the 100 year-old tree that sits on the property line in
the backyard. As there is no sidewalk on this particular corner, nor any plans to build one, the
City had deemed it acceptable to build the fence into the easement in protection of the
tree. Furthermore, our understanding is that the City has no current plans to construct a
sidewalk (or any other improvements) in this location either presently or in the future.
Constructing a sidewalk on the east side of Wake Forest would require the removal of three
additional trees. The perimeter around our tree has allowed it to grow safely in that time, and it
has been well maintained and loved by each owner. As well, the fence has stood in its
current location without issue from neighbors or the City for over 15 years.
Hurricane Beryl Knocks Over the Fence
In July 2024, the fence fell during Hurricane Beryl. When we submitted a permit to replace the
fence in its existing location, we learned that in order to approve, the inspector would require us
to move the fence four feet into our yard and build a new fence line on top of the tree's roots.

Proposed new fence line
This would present a risk to the tree and require a specialized hand-digging process to ensure
the posts do not hit tree roots. No fence company has been able to guarantee their work will not
damage the tree in the long term, and thus, presents a risk to our home. We understand that
removing the tree is an option, albeit what we consider to be the worst option. In addition to
being expensive, the larger concern is removing a beautiful oak tree that is special to our home,
but also to our little corner of the neighborhood. Like the three previous owners, our neighbors,
and the City of West University itself, we love the stately tree and do not want to lose it.
Variance will Allow Us to Replace the Fence and Save the Tree
The City will only approve the permit to replace the fence in its current location if we obtain a
variance to allow the fence to be rebuilt in its current location, four feet into the City's right of
way. We are asking the Buildings and Standards Commission to approve this variance. If
approved for a variance to keep the fence in its current location, we will then apply for an
encroachment agreement with West University City Council. This agreement would allow us to
continue to use that small amount of the City's property, unless a situation arises in which the
city may need use of that land, in which case the use of the land would revert back to the City.
We understand we are requesting use of the City's property, but what we are really requesting
is to continue using the same exact property that has been used for the past fifteen+
years to protect this same tree. Our agreement would require us to forfeit the land back to the
City if any situation arises in which the City does decide to utilize that property.
Our Neighbors Want to Preserve the Tree and Fence As Much as We Do
As no neighbor is impacted by the position of the fence, and no sidewalk is planned on the other
side, it is a no-harm situation. We have collected statements of support from seven surrounding
neighbors (Attachment B), and many will join at the BSC meeting to voice their support. In
discussions with our neighbors, everyone we have spoken to believes that the tree should be
saved if possible, particularly if it only means using a few feet of the City's property that
the City has no intention to use.
Conclusion
As a couple, this is our third home to own in West University. We have lived here for 11 years
together, and Caroline has lived in West University her entire life. We love supporting the
community in so many ways through the Park Lovers Ball, West University Little League, Cub
Scouts, and our local preschool. We love our lot, caddy-corner to Whitt Johnson Park, and are
certainly among its most frequent visitors! Our home serves as a communal gathering point for
friends when they visit the park, with an "open back door policy" allowing friends and children to
enter our yard from the park for a glass of water or to use the bathroom. Our backyard itself has
hosted many birthday parties and oyster roasts, and is home to our goofy, beloved golden
retriever Sophie. The beautiful tree has held swings and multiple pinatas for our children, and
provided endless hours of shade for backyard play in the summer. We do not wish to remove
the historic tree, but we also do not want to risk damage to our home by building a fence that
cuts into the tree roots. We love our neighbors, who are like family to us, and plan to live and
raise our children here for years to come. All we ask is that we are able to leave our fence
where it stands.
We have followed all City protocols over the past six months, including cooperating with the
arborist, Public Works director, and inspector. We have done our due diligence in gathering
quotes and opinions from fence companies and external arborists. We have spoken to
countless neighbors, secured a new property survey, and worked to be in complete compliance
with all the City's requests. The proposed location of the fence proposes too much of a risk to
our home, but we very much do not want to remove the historic tree. We have faith in our
elected officials and their processes, and we hope the Zoning Board of Adjustment will see our
request as a way to preserve our scenic community.
It is our understanding that to authorize a variance, the request 1) must not be contrary to public
interest; 2) the request must be due to special circumstances; 3) the variance must be used to
avoid unnecessary hardship; and 4) the spirit of the ordinance must be observed. We believe
all of these are applicable to our request, and hope that after reviewing our attached letters of
support, you will agree.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
With best regards,
Caroline and Ward Williams

West University Zoning Board
We have had the pleasure of living in West University for the past twenty-
three years. We truly appreciate the town, facilities, support services,
responsible city management, and our neighbors. For these past twenty-
three years we have had four different families move into the property that is
directly behind our house, 2738 Talbott St, the latest being the Williams.
All four families had small children and were attracted to the property
because 1) Whitt Jonson Park is diagonally across the street and 2) the
property has a safe fenced in area for kids and pets. The fence line that
borders this property adjacent to Wakeforest St. has been in its current
location all these years. It was there when we moved in. All the families that
have lived there enjoy the fenced area provided as a safe place for their kids
and pets. Now the fence has finally reached its end of useful life. Weather
and age necessitate its replacement. I firmly believe a new fence should be
located on the same line as the existing fence. It does not inhibit or interfere
with our driveway access or egress vision and there is plenty of grassy area
on the remaining property for dog walkers. I realize this fence line is in the
city right of way. We feel it is only fair that the Williams continue to enjoy
the benefit that others have had all these years.
We strongly support approving the installation of a new fence on the same
line as the existing one.
Sincerely, //ff (

DEAR ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEMBERS:
Caroline and Ward ask your permission to do two simple things: (1) protect a
magnificent tree, and (2) keep their fence in the same place it has always been.
I believe theirs is the sort of situation that this board exists to rectify. Neither the
immediate neighbors nor the city as a whole stand to be harmed if you grant their
requested relief. Quite the opposite—the tree makes the neighborhood better. Please
help them keep it.
Warm regards,
SAMANTHA BRANTLEY
-Nineteen-year resident of West University
-Former ZBA chair
Dear members of Zoning Board of Adjustment of the City of West University Place,
My name is Elizabeth Weaver, and my family and I live at 2715 Talbott Street. I am writing to
you on behalf of my neighbors, Caroline and Ward Williams, at 2738 Talbott Street. It has been
brought to our attention that the fence along the side of their home facing Wakeforest Street is
technically on city property. While I can understand how in some situations this might present an
issue, I am asking the board to please consider granting the Williams family an exemption.
The Williams' backyard is home to a huge, beautiful 100+year old tree that is a treasure to our
community. The tree's sprawling limbs are truly impressive, and are especially awe-inspiring to
all the children who pass by. The tree has been a topic of conversation on many of my own
family's walks to school. Caroline and Ward have been dutiful caretakers of this tree, even as its
roots have caused headaches for them as homeowners—patiently repairing cracked pipes and
misaligned stones caused by the trees shifting roots. The fence has been standing on city property
for the past 15 years and has not caused an issue to any of the neighbors. There is no sidewalk or
neighbor that the fence's location is encroaching on. We have lived on the street for nine years,
and the only comments I have heard on the Williams yard are compliments about the tree.
One of the beautiful things about our neighborhood is the trees, and I think all residents are
aware of the lengths the city goes to to protect them. The idea of asking the Williams to move the
fence into a location that would be directly over the tree roots seems silly to me, as it would
endanger the integrity of the root system, and be nearly impossible to maintain. The tree's roots
would likely cause the fence to lean or break, and that would be an eyesore to the community. It
seems a commonsense decision to allow the Williams to replace the existing fence with a new
fence of the same size in the same location. I have spoken to many of my neighbors, and this
sentiment is shared with all residents of Talbott and Wakeforest whom I am aware of.
Caroline and Ward are wonderful neighbors and residents. We were excited to welcome them to
Talbott Street when they arrived in March of 2022, and they have been such a positive asset to
our street and lives ever since. As a lifelong resident of West U, Caroline has introduced me to
many people, places, and causes around our little city. By getting neighbors together for park
playdates, planning block parties, coaching WULL teams, serving on Park Lovers committees,
and serving as WUMC Cub Scout leaders,the Williams family fosters such a sense of
community and connectedness, on our street and beyond. I know she and Ward have been
working diligently to resolve this issue, respecting all the proper channels. I hope the board will
give permission for them to replace their current fence, so that they can get back to focusing their
attention on making our community a better place.
Thank you for your consideration, and please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Best,
Elizabeth Weaver

Dear West U Zoning Board of Adjustment,
We are current West U residents who live directly across Wakeforest Avenue from
Ward and Caroline Williams and their family. We would like to go on record
supporting the Williams in their desire to replace their fence in its current location.
The current position of the fence is completely acceptable for us as their neighbors,
and we give them our full support. Please feel free to contact us with any further
questions.
Thank you,
Pa

To Whom It May Concern:
We are writing in full support of the Williams family as they seek permission to rebuild their
fence in West University. Before the storm, the fence looked great and fit the neighborhood well.
Allowing them to rebuild it will not only improve their property's appearance but also enhance
the aesthetic and cohesion of the entire street.
As families with children attending the same school, we've come to know the Williams family
well and can personally attest to their commitment to maintaining their home and contributing
positively to the neighborhood. We believe their efforts will only add value and beauty to our
community.
Regards,
Andrew and Lakshmi Picoli

To Whom It Concerns,
Three years ago we lived just outside of West U, not even 10 minutes from where we live now.When
deciding where to raise our family with outside play space and friends to make memories with our
three children,we quickly learned that in such a big city, neighborhood matters, street matters and,
most importantly, neighbors matter. We found those neighbors on Talbott Street. We became fast
friends with The Williams family and have spent countless hours their yard playing safely and
enjoyably. The Williams yard has hosted birthday parties, play dates,football watching parties on
sunny days, basketball with parents versus kids, and now one of our most cherished events, an
annual Christmas night oyster bake. We fully support preserving this space for The Williams family
and our neighbors, and we fully support their variance request to preserve not only their yard, but a
neighborhood gathering spot and more years of memories for our neighbors and our friends—the
exact space and environment we were seeking three years prior and have found,on Talbott Street.
The Williams are good neighbors and have always done what is right for their neighbors and their
neighborhood.We hope you will seriously consider their request.
Thank you for your consideration,
Katy and Cort King

Dear Zoning Board,
My name is Julie Middleton, and I live at 2725 Talbott Street. It
has been brought to my attention that the Williams Family (2738
Talbott Street) has had issues with getting a permit to replace
their side fence that was damaged by the hurricane. My
understanding is that the fence has been located in that spot for
over 15 years, but it has now been determined that its location is
on city property. While I understand the need for residents to
stay within their property line in most situations, I would say
this particular situation is exceptional and worth an exemption.
The Williams' backyard is home to a beautiful, 100+ year old
tree. Moving the fence location to within their property line
would jeopardize the tree's root system, and could cause damage
that might result in the death of the tree. This would be a huge
loss to our community. The current location of the fence is not a
bother to anyone, as there is no city sidewalk or neighbor's
property alongside it. Replacing their current damaged fence
with a fence of the same size in the same location is a simple
solution to protect the tree.
The Williams have been wonderful neighbors and they love our
community — especially the parks and the trees. I know they are
eager to have a proper fence to ensure the safety of their children
and dog while they play in their backyard, and they've been
patiently trying to go through the proper channels to find a
solution that works for everyone. I urge the board members to
grant the Williams family an exemption to protect one of the
beautiful, old trees our neighborhood is known for.
Thank you for your consideration,
Julie Middleton
