ITEM 5. BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA20-04, ANNE LAPKIN, 904
W. TEXAS STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA20-04 submitted
by Anne Lapkin for property located at 904 West Texas Street, Tract 9R03U, A. Foster
Survey, Abstract No. 518.
Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a
minimum lot width of sixty-five feet (65'). The applicant requested a variance of five -
feet (5) allowing a lot width of sixty -feet (60') for an existing lot.
Section 43.E.3, Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning
Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming
use. The applicant requested a special exception allowing the existing residential
structure to remain as developed along with an expansion as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that staff found a special condition existed for the requested
variance and special exception. Specifically, developed property existed to the east and
west eliminating the possibility of expanding the lot to meet the width requirements. The
existing dwelling was built in 1950 per Tarrant Appraisal District predating the City's first
zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. The proposed expansion did not exacerbate the
existing side yards adjacent to the east and west property lines respectively of
approximately six -feet (6') and five -feet (5) and the front yard setback adjacent to the
south property line of approximately ten -feet (10').
Mr. Triplett stated that the applicant intended to expand the existing dwelling from
approximately 1,849 square feet to approximately 2,824 square feet by adding 1,118
square feet of living space in the rear yard adjacent to the west and north property lines,
replacement of existing porches with a new 92 square foot porch and a 429 square foot
attached carport. As well as an unenclosed 113 square foot covered patio adjacent to
the north elevation in the rear yard.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Anne Lapkin of 904 W. Sunset Street, Grapevine,
Texas, took the oath of truth she gave a brief presentation to the Board and requested
favorable consideration of her request and offered to answer any questions of the
Board.
