BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS TO CONSIDER BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS
CASE BBA13 -02, BEN SANCHEZ.
The Building Board of Appeals considered BBA13 -02 submitted by property owner Ben
Sanchez for property located at 2821 Dove Pond Drive, legally described as Abstract
1593, Tract 2F02, John L. Whitman Survey. The request was to Grapevine Code of
Ordinances, Chapter 7, Article IV, Fences:
Section 7 -127, Fences, Front Yard Requirements, requires fences constructed in
a required or established front yard to be 36 inches or less in height, and have at
least 50 percent through vision.
Scott Williams explained that Staff recommended the Building Board of Appeals deny
the applicant's request for approval of a four -foot tall (4) wrought iron fence with six -foot
tall (6) stone columns and two (2) six -foot tall (6) wrought iron solar gates within the
required and established front yard.
He explained to the Board that occasionally Staff recommended approval for front yard
fences for large single lots that were not part of a multi -lot subdivision and for lots that
fronted very busy streets. He stated that this property was a typical in -line lot in a
multiple lot subdivision fronting on a quiet residential street and did not meet neither
criteria.
With no questions for Mr. Williams, Ben Sanchez of 2821 Dove Pond Drive, Grapevine,
Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation and requested favorable
consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board.
Joe Lipscomb asked Mr. Sanchez if he had considered any other security options. Mr.
Sanchez stated that he had been considering other options so he could comply with city
ordinance, such as installing two -foot mounds of dirt with a 36 inch fence and rose
bushes.
With no further questions for Mr. Sanchez, and no additional speakers, Hal Hardister
made a motion to close the public hearing. Clint Hallman seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Lipscomb, Sklar, Hallman, Hardister, Biesiadny, Young
Nays:
