NEW BUSINESS
BZA 89-17, THISTLE HOMES ( SCOTT KRETZER)
The first item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to
consider BZA 89-17, submitted by Thistle Homes who is requesting a variance
from Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.1, "R-7.5", Single
Family Zoning District Regulations which requires a 30 foot front yard
setback for an existing house located at 3504 High Countryside Drive,
legally described as Lot 5, Block 5,.High Country, Phase II.
Joy Carroll explained the special condition was due to the topography and
curve of the lot. The curve of the lot, and the elevation of the house
being seven '(7) feet higher than the street, making retainer walls
necessary in the rear and side yards, were all conditions contributing to
the mistake in setting the slab.
Scott Kretzer, of Thistle Hcmes, Inc. explained the lot had such a hill,
that the mistake occurred when the stringlines were pulled. MX. Kretzer
stated he had received a green tag on his form inspection.
After some further discussion, Charles Giffin made a motion to close the
Public Hearing. Tim Hobbs seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Thompson, Hobbs, Giffin, Truitt

street and topography of the lot, the fact the lot is 7 feet higher than

and that the variance was a honest mistake, and to grant the variance to
Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.1, for a.834 foot variance
