5 Downie Place - Pool Variance — Swimming pool in West Lake Hills, TX
Applicant received Board of Adjustment approval for two setback variances to construct a swimming pool: 14' encroachment into the 30' rear setback and 15' encroachment into the 25' side setback. The approval was granted based on hardship from the lot's unusual configuration, including two 50' setbacks and a drainage easement that render much of the property unusable.
