RE: Building Line Variance, The Estates of Westlake
Dear Dennis:
While preparing our house building plans for Lot 3 at The Estates of Westlake, we noticed that
our house would destroy a beautiful cluster of approximately twenty native oak trees if built
where planned. The only way to avoid those trees is to slide the house ten feet to the south to
mare sure that the home's foundation is outside of the critical root zone of those trees. In order
to move the house to the south, we need to receive a variance from the Town of Westlake which
would reduce the 40 -foot building line to 30 feet in just the location marked on the attached site
plan. As you can see on the site plan, the home is "sandwiched" in between the trees and the
building line.
Please note that we are also purchasing Lot 4 and are requesting the same building line variance
on just a small portion of that lot. For your review and for submission to the Town of Westlake
for our variance request, I have included fifteen copies of the site plan and tree survey and one
large copy of the plan and house elevation. please call me at metro (817) 577-8880 with any
questions or comments regarding this variance request. Thank you for your time and
consideration of this request.

Richard

MEMORANDUM

Town of Westlake Board of Aiden -nen
From: Bennis Wilson, AICD
DATE: November 5, 1998
IRE: Variance to building Setback for Mr. & Mrs Richard Myers,
Wyckhill bane, Estates of Westlake
BACKGROUND
Mr. Myers is requesting a reduction of the 40 foot building setback from Wyckhill
Lane, to 30 feet. It should be noted that the guest house overlaps the property
line with Lot 4, and that Lots 3 & 4 must be combined through platting prior to
receiving a building permit for that structure. In addition, the drawing notes wood
fences, which the Town does not allow.
R£comMENQATICIN
Due to the location of Lots 3 & 4 facing a cul de sac, and the fact that a ma;arity
of Let 4 will remain open space, it is recornmended that the building setback
along the property lines adjacent to the cul de sac be reduced to 30 feet as
shown on the attached drawing.
