NEW BUSINESS BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA03-16 LESTER NOKES GRAPEVINE CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES 3408 HALL - JOHNSON ROAD The first item was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA03-16, submitted by Lester Nokes, representing the Grapevine Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses for property located at 3408 Hall Johnson Road, platted as Lot 1, Block 1, English Grapevine Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 151.5, "R-20" Single Family District Regulations, Density Requirements, Board of Zoning Adjustment 11/03/2003 requires that the combined area occupied by all buildings, structures, off-street parking and paved areas shall not exceed sixty percent of the lot area. The applicant was seeking a variance of approximately 7.5 percent to this requirement and if approved by the Board would allow an expansion of the impervious area for an existing church to 67.5 percent of the total lot area. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found that there was a special condition for the requested variance, specifically, the subject site was occupied by a church with parking for church related activities occurring primarily on substandard and unimproved surfaces. He explained that expansion of the impervious area would allow the applicant to more efficiently utilize the parking area in order to provide adequate parking for the church membership and allow improvement to the property. Jerry Loban of 917 Meadowbrook Drive, Grapevine, engineer for the project, took The Oath of Truth and explained that the parking on the site had been unimproved for a long time and was causing drainage problems. He explained that the proposed redesigned parking lot would solve the drainage problems and would improve the appearance of the property. He noted that all other requirements of the zoning ordinance were being met. Chairman Hecht announced that no property owner response letters had been received. With no one else to speak regarding the request, Dennis Luers made a motion to close the public hearing. Jim Kelso seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Kelso, Holt Nays: None Absent: Bruner Dennis Luers made a motion that there was a special condition, specifically the subject site was occupied by a church with parking for church related activities occurring primarily on substandard and unimproved surfaces.
