CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chairman A. J. Harper.
PUBLIC HEARING - BZA 78-6
The first order of business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustments
to consider BZA 78-6 submitted by Weldon Gettys of Broyles and
Gettys Custom Homes.
Chairman Harper introduced Mr. Weldon Gettys (representing Broyles
and Gettys Custom Homes), and Mr. William F. Bush, a property owner.
It was noted that Mr. Gettys was requesting a 8'3" variance in the
25' rear yard requirement. He advised that the house plan was drawn
for this particular lot. He also advised that if he was not allowed
the variance requested, that he would have to detach the garage, and
this would probably make the house hard to sell. Mr. Bush was ques-
tioning whether or not Mr. Gettys need the variance.* After much dis-
cussion, Member Jerry Spencer made a motion to postpone the case until
December 20, 1978 so that further investigation could be made by the
City Inspection Department as to what a detached building requirements
are. Member Charlex Cox seconded the motion, and it prevailed by the
following vote
Ayes: Harper, Spencer, Cox, Buckner, and Zimmerer
Nays: Woods
PUBLIC HEARING - BZA 78-7
The next order of business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustments to
consider BZA 78-7 submitted by Grapevine Properties, Inc.
Mr. Harper intorduced Mr. Max Holderby of Grapevine Properties Inc.,
and Mr. Winston Beam. It was noted that the applicant was requesting
a twelve (12) foot variance in the thirty (30) foot front yard require-
ment on Lot 11, Block 1, The Vineyard, or #3 Whispering Vine. It was
stated that this house had also been constructed (as a previous house
located at #5 Whispering Vine which they had obtained a twelve (12)
foot variance on November 16, 1978 from the Board of Zoning Adjust-
ments) prior to learing of the set back error. Member Jesse Woods
advised that he would be in favor of granting this variance on the
basis of the reasons submitted to the Board in the November 16, 1978
meeting.
Member James Buckner made a motion that the application be approved
allowing the twelve (12) foot variance on Lot 11, Block 1, The Vine-
yard or #3 Whispering Vine. The motion was seconded by Member Charles
Cox and prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Harper, Woods, Spencer, Cox, Buckner, and Zimmerer
Nays: None
PUBLIC HEARING - BZA 78-8
The next order of business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustments
to consider BZA 78-8 submitted by Doug Cook of Dena Construction
Company.
Chairman Harper introduced Mr. Doug Cook of Dena Construction Company.
The applicant was requesting a one (1) foot variance in the thirty (30)
foot front yard requirement and a five (5) foot variance in the twenty-
five (25) foot rear yard requirement on a house to be built at 2910
Creekwood Drive, Grapevine, Texas, or Lot 43, Block 1, Creekwood Estates.
Mr. Cook stated that the house plan had been drawn to take advantage of
(t the numerous trees on the lot, and would be a great factor in the sale
of this house. Mr. Buckner stated that the one (1) foot front yard
variance and the five (5) foot rear yard variance would not create a
hardship on the surrounding neighbors. Mr. Harper was in agreement.
However, it was the consensus of the other members that it would not
create a hardship on the builder to obtain another house plan for this
particular lot that would meet the zoning requirements.
Member James Buckner made a motion to approve the variances as requested.
The motion was seconded by A. J. Harper and failed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Buckner and Harper
Nays: Woods, Cox, Spencer, and Zimmerer
