Becky Swann seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Swann, Thompson, Truitt, Dorety Nays: None Absent: Bass The last item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA 90-01 submitted by the Grapevine/Colleyville Independent School District, for 10.46 acres located north of the Colleyville boundary, west of Cheek Sparger and east of Roberts Road which is to be utilized as an elementary school. Joy Carroll explained that Staff recommended approval for the variance being requested to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 53.H.2.b., which requires a 10 foot wide perimeter landscape buffer between vehicular use areas and adjacent property lines, as indicated on the site plan; and denial to Section 53.H.1.c., which requires parking lot planter islands no further apart than twelve (12) parking spaces and at the terminus of all rows of parking. Ms. Carroll explained that to have the landscape buffer between the two tracts would not be as crucial because the property to the south is in the Colleyville city limits and will be developed as school property. Barry Kanning of 819 Beverly Drive, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth and explained that they had made every effort to develop the tract according to the City's regulations. Mr. Kanning explained to the Board that their experience with planter islands were not good due to the kind of soil in the area, which moisture tends to get underneath the paving and could cause premature failure of the slab due to the water penetration. With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Raymond Truitt made a motion to close the public hearing. Becky Swann seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Swann, Thompson, Truitt, Dorety Nays: None Absent: Bass Gerald Thompson asked Mr. Hardy about the effect planter islands have had on other tracts in town. Tommy Hardy explained that Mr. Kanning's concerns are valid but planter islands have been installed in Grapevine since 1984 and he has received no complaints of failure of the paving or planter islands. After further discussion, Becky Swann made a motion that no special condition existed for the variance to the planter islands. Raymond Truitt seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Swann, Thompson, Truitt, Dorety Nays: None Absent: Bass Raymond Truitt then made a motion to deny the variance to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 53.H.1.c., for planter islands. Becky Swann seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Swann, Thompson, Truitt, Dorety Nays: None Absent: Bass Becky Swann then made a motion that a special condition did exist for the variance to the landscape buffer area; the special condition being that the property adjoins the city limits of Colleyville and that the adjoining property is school property and is planned to be developed as a school site, and therefore grant the variance to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Board of Zoning Adjustment February 5, 1990 Page 4 Section 53.H.2.b.
