COM2025-4398 — Repair of failed retaining wall section at Lakeshore Assisted Living and Memory Care in Rockwall, TX
Applicant is requesting a variance to the Engineering Department's Standards requiring stone facing on retaining walls 18 inches or taller; the constructed 14-foot retaining wall at Lakeshore Assisted Living was built with smooth concrete instead of the approved stone-faced finish and failed inspection. Staff recommends denial because the applicant proposes no compensatory measures, no unique conditions exist to warrant the variance, and the work directly conflicts with the approved building permit.
