The applicants own two 30 adjacent residential lots, one of which (616 SE Syron St.) contains a dwelling and the other (608 31 SE Syron St.) is undeveloped. The applicant proposes to construct a detached garage on the 32 undeveloped lot, and has filed applications for lot consolidation and variance. The lot 33 consolidation has been approved administratively by the city (#PLA-20-03) but has not yet been 34 finalized or recorded. The variance application is the subject of this proceeding. 35 The proposed detached garage is 21 feet in height where the height limit for a detached accessory 36 structure is 15 feet. The proposed detached garage is also not set back behind the house as 37 required, and results in two driveways serving the property where only one is allowed. The 38 applicants are requesting the following variances: Accessory Building Height, Street Side-Yard 39 Setbacks, and Driveway Access. 40 Mr. Ballew stated staff recommended the Variance application be approved with three 41 conditions. 42 43 APPLICANT PRESENTATION: 44 Mike Ferguson, 616 SE Syron Street, property owner. Mr. Ferguson stated he did not have much 45 to add. He said the combined lot size would be about 12,600.00 sqft. He also talked about the old 46 growth Oak tree on the property line, which presented building challenges due to size and 47 extensive root growth. 48 49 PUBLIC TESTIMONY: Page 2 of 191 50 Michael Barnes, 643 SE Deschutes Ave, neighbor, stated he was in favor of the variances. 51 52 COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION: 53 There was a discussion that included minimum lot density, driveway width and length, and who 54 decides how tall a structure can be. 55 2021 02 Planning Commission Combined Agenda.pdf 56 Mr. Shein closed the public hearing at 7:36 pm. 57 Mr. Tory Banford moved to approve the variance with the conditions stated in the staff report. 58 Ms. Kowash seconded the motion.

The applicants own property formerly 68 composed of two adjacent residential lots, which were consolidated into one lot in 2019 (#PLA- 69 19-02). The applicant proposes to construct a detached garage on the undeveloped portion of the 70 consolidated lot, and has filed application for variance. The proposed detached garage is 23 feet 71 in height where the height limit is 15 feet. The proposed detached garage is also not set back Dallas Planning Commission Page 3 – January 12, 2021 72 behind the house as required, and results in two driveways serving the property where only one 73 is allowed. Therefore, in order to construct the proposed structure, the applicant requests to vary 74 the following standards: Accessory Building Height, Street Side-Yard Setbacks, and Driveway 75 Access. 76 Mr. Ballew stated staff recommended the variance application be approved with two conditions. 77 78 APPLICANT PRESENTATION: 79 Ms. Jodie Jones spoke to the commission about how the topography of the lot negates building 80 anywhere else and because the buildable area is lower than the street elevation, the visual height 81 of the garage would be less than the 23’ actual height. 82 83 PUBLIC TESTIMONY: 84 There was none. 85 86 COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION: 87 Ms. Kowash stated that Ms. Jones’ first name was spelled incorrectly in the staff report. 88 89 Mr. Shein closed the public hearing at 7:51pm. 90 91 Mr. Groh moved to approve the variance with the conditions stated in the staff report.
