BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA20-05, JOHN WINGATE 2820 PENINSULA DRIVE The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA20-05 submitted by John Wingate for property located at 2820 Peninsula Drive and platted as Lot 1, Block 3, Placid Peninsula. Section 15.G.1., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a minimum front yard setback of 30-feet. The applicant was requesting a variance of five-feet (6) to this requirement, and if approved by the Board would allow a front yard depth of twenty-five (25') feet for an existing lot. Section 15.G.3., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a minimum side yard setback of six (6') feet. The applicant was requesting a variance of three-feet (3') and if approved by the Board, would allow a side yard setback of three (3) feet for an existing lot. Mr. Stombaugh explained that staff found a special condition existed for the requested variance and special exception. This is an irregularly shaped lot that narrows from 101 feet along its frontage adjacent to Peninsula Drive to 49 feet at the rear property line. The lot is further compromised by a ten-foot drainage easement along the northeastern and eastern property lines further reducing the buildable area at the front building line. The applicant intended intent to build a 2,577 square foot pad on the subject property that is triangularly shaped and compromised by a ten-foot drainage easement along the eastern property boundary which contains a below-grade culvert with the opening to the culvert located midway within the easement. To build the structure given the narrowing of the lot and provide reasonable separation from the opening of the culvert the applicant was requesting to encroach into the front yard setback five feet and the northwestern side yard setback three feet. The applicant, Mr. John Wingate, 341 Regency Drive, Allen, TX 75243, took the oath of truth. Mr. Wingate stated that the drainage easement was added to the property recently. The requested variances were requested to build a home similar to others in the area. Mr. Thomas Schick 2807 Trumarc Drive, Grapevine and Ms. Kathy McGovern 2813 Trumarc Drive, Grapevine took the oath of truth and spoke in opposition of this request. Ms. Sharron Rogers, Board Liaison from the City Council, spoke in opposition of the request stating a hardship did not exist. Mr. Chris Badger, 1904 Casa Loma Court, Grapevine took the oath of truth. Mr. Badger represents the owner of the property. Mr. Badger stated that the owners would be willing to go with the Board's recommendation. Board of Zoning Adjustment 08-03-2020 With no further questions discussion was held regarding the need for the variance as a residence with a smaller footprint could be built without the need for any variances or the property could be replatted. John Sheppard made a motion to close the public hearing. George Dalton seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Dierolf, Sheppard, Johnson, Dalton, Anderson Nays: None Absent: None John Sheppard made a motion that a special condition did not exist for the requested variance and special exception. Specifically, Lots 1 and 2 are owned by the same owner and the property can be replatted making the variances unnecessary.
