Joy Carroll explained that Mr. Putnam was requesting a variance to construct a 4,683 square foot house, but because half of the lot is unbuildable, he needs the 9.9 foot variance. Ms. Carroll stated that Staff recommended approval. Mr. Ralph Putnam, applicant, took the Oath of Truth and explained that the lot has less than 6,000 square feet that is level enough to be buildable.

BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT APRIL 2, 1990 PAGE 3 With no one to speak either for or against the request, Becky Swann made a motion to close the public hearing. John Dorety seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Swann, Dorety, Quinn Nays: None Absent: Thompson, Truitt, Bass Becky Swann then made a motion that a special condition did exist. The special conditions are that the property is existing, and the error of the encroachment was discovered after the house was built. Further, the motion is to approve the variances to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.1, to allow a 1.5 foot encroachment to the front yard setback, and to Section 42.D allowing a 6 foot encroachment to the side yard setback. John Dorety seconded the notion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Swann, Dorety, Quinn Nays: None Absent: Thompson, Truitt, Bass BZA 90-10 AND BZA 90-11, BELMONT HOMES The last two items for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider were BZA 90-10 and BZA 90-11, submitted by Belmont Homes. The request is for a variance from Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 16.G.3 which requires a 25 foot rear yard for the R-5.0, Zero Lot Line zoning district. The request is to permit a 10 foot variance and provide for a 15 foot rear yard for Lots 21R and 22R, Block 1, Banyan Place Subdivision. Joy Carroll explained that the Board of Zoning Adjustment previously approved variances to allow reduction of the 100 foot lot depth for Lots 21, 22 and 23, Block 1; however, a replat. scheduled for the April 17, 1990, Planning and Zoning Commission/City Council meeting proposes two lots, Lots 21R and 22R, instead of the three lots to provide additional width, requiring only rear yard variances for the subject houses. She also explained that the Council had approved the "R-5.0" zoning and approved the plat of the Banyan Place Subdivision with the knowledge that variances would be necessary in order to convert the existing "R-TH", Townhouse planned tract, in which the streets were already in place, to minimum 5,000 square foot lots. Due to the street layout, the Board of Zoning Adjustment approved lot depths for several lots of less than 100 feet and expected that possible variances would be requested at the time house plans were selected. Al Dun-cmre, of 227 Bushy Mound Road, Burleson, took the Oath of Truth and explained to the Board that by platting the three lots into two, the lots would be wider but the depth would stay the same. With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Becky Swann made a motion to close the Public Hearing. Andrew Quinn seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Swann, Dorety, Quinn Nays: None Absent: Thompson, Truitt, Bass John Dorety made a motion that a special condition did exist due to the lot size being short. Further, he wade a motion to grant a 10 foot variance to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 16.G.3, to provide for a 15 foot rear yard for Lots 21R and 22R, Block 1, Banyan Place.
