5 Downie Place - Variance — Swimming pool construction in West Lake Hills, TX
The Board of Adjustment approved variances to reduce rear and side setbacks for swimming pool construction at this property. The lot configuration with two 50' setbacks, drainage easement, and steep terrain created hardship justifying encroachment of 14' into the 30' rear setback and 15' into the 25' side setback.
