NEW BUSINESS
V97-23, REQUEST OF BRIAN SWIEDOM OF BEAZER HOMES OF TEXAS, INC., FOR A
VARIANCE FROM SECTION 6.4.2.(b), FOR A 1'10" ENCROACHMENT INTO THE
REQUIRED 20' REAR YARD, AT 1802 CASTLE OAKS DRIVE, LOT 1, BLOCK 9,
OAKBROOK ESTATES, SECTION 2
Mr. Swiedom explained that he has a buyer for this home plan on this lot. He added that the bay
window is the only portion of the house encroaching into the required rear yard. Mr. Swiedom
explained that they do not wish to flip this house plan because it would hide the entry way of the home.
This house is on a cul-de-sac, therefore, there is only one direction of approach to the house. He added
that Beazer probably would not build this plan flipped on this site because it would have no curb appeal
and would be difficult to resale.
Board Member Gil Boyles made a motion, seconded by Alternate Board Member Suzanne Tullis, to
approve V97-23.

a half years ago for the Jr. High West sign. He added that First Impressions is donating the sign to the
school district.
A discussion ensued regarding the previous variance and the placement of the proposed sign.
