Don Redding, Chairman ATTEST: Kim Sutter, TRMC, Town Secretary Town of Westlake Memo To: The Honorable Chairman Don Redding and Members of the Zoning Board of Adjustment From: Joe C. Hennig, Interim Town Manager Subject: Meeting of March 24, 2008 Date: March 18, 2008 ITEM Conduct a Public Hearing and take appropriate action regarding an application, V- 08 -01, filed by WB Texas Resort Communities requesting a variance regarding the time restriction on a temporary structure located at 1405 Fountain Grass Court, Vaquero — Phase 1. BACKGROUND A variance request was made by WB Texas Resort in March 2007 regarding the temporary structure used for the sales office. The ZBA approved a one year time period with a one year extension, contingent upon the start of construction for the FM 1938 expansion. Construction has not begun on FM 1938. WB Texas Resort has filed an application for additional time. With the fact that lots are still available and under construction at this time, WB Texas Resort would like to continue to serve the community, residents, and potential customers with the best possible customer service. Remaining on -site at the 1405 Fountain Grass Court location would provide constant on -site availability and further their ability to provide the best service possible. The sales office has been attractively maintained and heavily landscaped to provide a minimal intrusion. The applicant is requesting a two year time period with a one year extension. In light of the upcoming construction that is estimated to begin in the Spring of 2009, Staff recommends a one year allowance with additional consideration by ZBA, should any unforeseeable delay occur with the construction of the FM 1938 extension. A Vaquero site plan is attached for your review indicating the location of the sales office. APPROVE BY: M ager s Office 3 %�� T Secretary's Office ii . �' ' //- �+,�_'T��i__�- 11•;fi f *�'%.
