The next item of old business for consideration by the Board was BZA 83-06 submitted by Thomas Wade, First, Mr. Wade spoke reiterating the history of the case which was first brought before the Board in 1982, over a year ago. Following questions from Member Hall, Mr. Wade advised that the foundation of his house was 6 inches from the property line, and there was an encroachment by the overhang. In response to Mr. Waldrip'a questions to Mr. Wade Mr. Richardson advised that the $2,000 purchase would be for part of the min structure. Then the Chairman asked Mr. Zac Kircher if he wished to speak relative to his interest in the case. Mr. Kircher answered Mr. Deavers' question relative to beinq the author of the letter which was read into the record as follows: I, Zac Kircher, strongly protest Mr. Tom, Wade's variance on my land for the following reasons: The original price of my lot was $15,000, but the builder reduced the price by $2,000 because he was going to collect it from Mr. Wade, leaving my balance to be $13,000. then Mr. Wade decided he would try to receive a variance to my land instead of paying the $2,000 for the land. This would leave me paying the $2,000 for the land in which his house is hanging over. I would just like Mr. Wade to pay for what is right. Thank you (Mr. Kircher' signature" I Following a brief discussion relative to history of the case, familiarizing new members, and the secretary reporting that there were no further letters or petitions relative to the case, Chairman Thompson called for a motion. Vice Chairman Deavers so moved to deny Mr. Wade's variance as requested, and Ylember Steve Hall seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Deavers, Hall, Tishler, Waldrip and Troy Nays: Thompson Absent: Izff b 10TV.410, I 11.11 1i The second item, of old business for consideration by the Board was BZA 83-07, submitted by Wheel Estates Mobile Horne Park. Vice Chairman Deavers expressed appreciation to Mr. Bruce Scholl-neyer for his patience relative to a irListake in citing his Mobile Hom- • e being in violation of City Ordinance. As stated in Mr. Tommy Hardy's memo to board members, since the last board meting, he researched and visited with the City Attorney concerning the subject case. In checking Grapevine's annexation maps, he determined that Wheel Estates Mobile Hcoe Park is a non -conforming use as defined by Appendix A Zoning. BZA Minutes 10-6-83 Page 3 The City Attorney ruled that since the mobile home park is non- conforming, the rear yard requirements set out in the Zoning Ordinance would not apply to Wheel Estates Mobile Home Park. And as a result of this determination, it was recom-ne-nded that the Board take no action on this matter. Mr. Scholln-eyer's $50.00 filing fee will be refunded since he was not in violation of zoning set back requirements. Steve Hall made a motion to accept the recommendation of the City Attorney and Building Official to take no action on the subject case, and Bill Waldrip seconded the notion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Thompson, Deavers, Hall, Waldrip and Troy Nays: None Absent: Iamb ,"kNL*]FAJ _V # . — a I IV VI" OWN 41LA I VJ 04 N J L W Q I a QJ 0 The first item of new business for consideration by the Board of Zoning Adjustment was BZA 83-08 submitted by Regis Griffin. As reported in Mr. Hardy' s memo to the Board, this request for an 18 foot rear yard variance was for a residence at 3014 Double Creek Drive and resulted from denial of a building permit. Section 7-102 (2) of Appendix A zoning Ordinance requires a 25 foot rear yard of every structure in a "R-1" zone. There was no one present at the meting representing Mr. Griffin. Member Hall questioned Mr. Griffin's definition of a suitable size dwelling. Mr. Waldrip reported that he had driven by the lot in question, and there were few existing structures in the area. Mr. Hall expressed surprise that Mr. Griffin had no one representing him present. Also a brief discussion centered on the similarity to a case previously submitted by Mr. Griffin for which a variance was granted. The secretary reported that there were no letters or petitions relative to this case. Subsequent to the general consensus that there might be a trend of similar requests set should the variance be granted, Garry Tishler made a notion to deny the request for a 7 foot rear yard variance to the 25 foot requirement, and Ronald Troy seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Thompson, Deavers, Hall, Tishler, Waldrip and Troy Nays: None Absent: Lamb The next item was addressed by Mr. Richardson whereby on behalf of Mr. David Vilbig, members were requested to call a special meting to hear a case requested by Mr. Vilbig for the earliest possible meting date after all notification required by law was accomplished. October 18, 1983 at 6:00 P.M would be the earliest legal date for such public hearing. The general consensus of those present was to so grant the request. BZA Minutes 10-6-83 Page 4 The next it for consideration was the Minutes of the meeting of September 1, 1983. Steve Hall n -p -de a motion to approve the Minutes of September 1, 1983, as printed, and Glenn ravers seconded the rotion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Th son, Deavers, Hall, Tishler, Waldrip and Troy Nays: None Absent Lanb PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD kZONING ADJUST= OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS, ON THIS THE _&Vk DAY OF OCTOBER, 1983. man
