Chairman Charles Giffin called the meting to order at 6:12 p.m.
The item of new business for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was
BZA 90-32, submitted by Tandy Homes for an existing house located at 2813
Green-brook Ct., Lot 21, Block 3 of the Timberline South Subdivision. City
Staff recommends denial to a requested variance from Grapevine Zoning
Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.2, R-7.5, Single Family Zoning District
requirements for a 25 foot rear yard setback. A 19 foot variance is being
requested for the encroachment to allow a six foot setback for the existing
garage. Staff recommends approval to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73,
Section 43.0.3 which allows, a maximum six foot wide breezeway to connect a
principal and accessory structure in the residential zoning districts. The
request is to allow a 12 foot wide breezeway to remain as built which will
require a six foot variance. Staff also recoarends approval to Grapevine
Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 68.J. Board of Zoning Adjustment, to waive
the requirement for a one (1) year waiting period for any like request on
the same tract of land. The Board of Zoning Adjustment denied the request
September 4, 1990; and the applicant has re-applied for an identical
variance on the same tract.
Tommy Hardy explained that the first item was for the Board to act on
whether or not they agree to waive the one vear waiting period for an
applicant to come back before the Board, after being denied a variance.
Andrew Quinn made a motion to waive the one year waiting period in order
for the applicant to be heard at tonight's meting. Randy Howell seconded
the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Truitt, Bass, Quinn, Howell
Nays: None
Absent: Thompson, Dorety
1,,Iext, Tommy Hardy showed the 'Board a slide presentation of the property.
Mr. Hardy explained that the Board was hearinq the case again because Staff
and the applicant both shared in the responsibility of the encroachment of
the breezeway. He explained that because there was not enough Staff time,
the architectural plans were not checked, or the 20 foot breezeway would
have been caught. The applicant also did not show the breeze-way on the
plot plan which is always checked in plan review.
Michael Tandy, applicant, spoke and explained that to remove the breezeway,
both sides of the garage roof would be involved and that the breezeway and
balcony on the house all tie-in together. He also noted that another
special condition would be aesthetics, and that he would not have built the
breezeway if he had been aware of the six foot wide requirement. Mr. Tandy
and of Zoning Adjustment

the garage and that the service would have to be moved.

made- a motion to close the public hearing. Patti Bass seconded the motion
which prevailed bv the following vote:
Ayes: Giffin, Truitt, Bass, Quinn, Howell

Andrew Quinn then made a motion that special conditions exists. He further
stated that the special conditions were that the structure is existing and
to make the change now would damage the quality of the house and possibly
the safety. Randy Howell seconded the motion which prevailed by the
