For the next order of business, Chairman Thompson administered the Oath
of Truth to Mr. Tom Wade, Mr. Zac Kircher, Mr. Bruce Schollmeyer and Mr.
Dennis Wenp.
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

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.

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

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.
