Consideration of a Variance Request to the Lewisville City Code, Chapter 6, Article IX, Section 6-181(b), Exterior Finish Requirements, Regarding the Exterior Finish on a Proposed new Single Family Detached Residence Located at 343 West College Street; as Requested by Bill Peck on Behalf of Kent Ellis, Jr., the Property Owner.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

The property owner plans to build a craftsman-style home on the north side of West College Street that matches the aesthetics of the existing neighborhood and reflects the design requirements in the Old Town Design District, which applies to the south side of West College Street. A design overlay to support consistent design on the north and south side of West College Street was recommended by the Old Town North Small Area Plan, but has not yet been adopted. The current standards require 80% brick veneer with no single wall elevation consisting of less than 60% brick veneer.  The applicant is requesting to allow 100% cementuous fiber siding in lieu of the required 80% brick veneer to compliment the surrounding properties and fully express the craftsman-style.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the variance request as set forth in the caption above.
