PAULDENNEHY
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1996
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment approve the request to Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73 for Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, Delaney Vineyards
Addition and addressed as 1900 Champagne Boulevard as follows:
1 . Section 23A., "GV" Grapevine Vintage District prohibits parking lots as a
principal use. Off-street parking is allowed as an accessory use to a principal
use.
The variance request is to allow development of an accessory off-street parking
lot without development of a principal use as shown on the,plan.
SPECIAL CONDITION:
Staff finds a special condition exists for the request because the applicant is
proposing to develop an off-street parking lot to serve the overflow needs of the wine
production building across the street. Currently the overflow traffic is parking in the
grass where the parking lot is proposed to be located. The variance if approved will
go away with development of a principal use on the property. Future development
or expansion will be required to provide the necessary off-street parking.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
An application was submitted to the Department of Development Services by Paul
Dennehy representing Dennehy Architects. The subject property was rezoned April
16, 1996 from "R-MF-2" Multifamily to "GV" Grapevine Vintage District. The
concept plan in your packet was approved by City Council with the rezoning. This
case was tabled from the May 6, 1996 Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting.

SPECIAL CONDITION OR CONDITIONS EXIST(S) BEFORE MA I M ION T 0 E
A REQUEST. IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT NO SPECIAL CONDI E THE N
MUST BE TO DENY THE REQUEST.
Special conditions that make this request nessesary are that
there is a need for additional off street parking during -special
events at the Winery. With the current Vineyard location and
development of a landscaped park area to the south of the
present parking lot, the added parkinglot and landscaping
acroes the street would eliminate any on street parkin q or
potential congestion. This parking lot will eventually tie
into the retail development Planned for this site.
7. EXPLAIN ANY UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES, IF APPLICABLE, NOT CONSIDERED BY THE

PROCESS.
By providing—this remote parking lot and the accompanying
landscaping the overall aesthetics of this development are
maintained. many wineries in theNapa Valley region of
California use a similar planning technique.

of sixty-five (65) feet.

hundred (100) foot lot depth.
The variance request is to allow a twenty-two (22) foot reduction of the

S p
4. Section 15.F.6., "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations require a minimum
floor area not less than twelve hundred (1,200) square feet of floor area.

SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA96-20
PHIL MORLEY
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1996
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment approve request #2 and #4 and
to deny request #1,#3 and #5 to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73
for Lots 1-16, Block 1, Azalea Court Addition as follows:
1. Section 15.G.1., "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations require reverse
frontage lots to have two thirty (30) foot front yard setbacks. Reverse
frontage lots are lots whose rear is adjacent to another lot's side yard. Lots
1 and 16 are considered reverse frontage lots because their rear yards are
adjacent to the side yard of the Abundant Life Church and the Grant Pittard
Addition.
The variance request is to allow Lots 1 and 16 a fifteen (15) foot reduction of
the required front yard setback along Wall Street. If approved. it would allow
a fifteen (15) foot front yard setback along Wall Street.
2. Section 15.G.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations require a twenty-
five (25) foot rear yard setback.
The variance request is to allow Lot 16 a five (5) foot reduction of the twenty-
five (25) foot required rear yard setback If approved it would allow Lot 16
a twenty (20) foot rear yard setback.
3. Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations require a ninety-five
(95) foot lot width for a reverse frontage lot.
The variance request is to allow Lot 1 to have a seventeen (17) foot reduction
and Lot 16 to have a four (4) foot reduction from the required reverse frontage
jot width If approved. it would allow Lot 1 to have a minimum lot width of
seventy-elght (78) feet and Lot 16 to have a minimum lot width of ninety-one
(91) feet.
4. Section 15.G.5., "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations require a one
hundred (100) foot lot depth.
The variance request is to allow Lot 16 an eleven (11 ) foot reduction of the
one hundred (100) foot lot death If approved it would allow Lot 16 an
eighty-nine (89) foot lot depth.
5. Section 15.H., "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations require a forty (40)
foot buffer yard adjacent to a non-residential district.
The variance request is to allow Lots 5.6.7.8. and 9 a fifteen (15) foot
reduction of the forty (40) foot buffer yard. If approved. it would allow Lots
5.6.7.8. and 9 a twenty-five (25) buffer yard adjacent to a non-residential
district.
SPECIAL CONDITION:
Staff finds a special condition for variance requests #2 and #4 for the rear yard
setback and lot depth of Lot 16. City Staff worked diligently with the applicant to
align Azalea Court with Azalea Drive. The alignment requirement creates the physical
hardships for this lot.
Staff did not find any special conditions for variance requests #1, #3, and #5. The
applicant would be able to meet the requirements if he were not developing so may
lots. The buffer yard requirement is in place to separate residential uses from
commercial uses. Lots 5, 6 and 7 especially need a buffer yard because of the
Northwest Plaza Development. Lots 8 and 9 will be impacted with future
development.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
An application was submitted to the Department of Development Services by Mr. Phil
Morley representing Morley Architects. The applicant has submitted a final plat
application for Azalea Court Addition for the June 18, 1996 City Council Meeting.

GRAPEVINE, 7X 76051 GRAPEVINE, 7X 76099
MAY — I i990
BACKGROUND:
The 4.003 acre property we are planning to develop has 289.38 feet of frontage
on Wall Street. We had intended to construct a new cul-de-sac street with a 50'
R.O.W. centered on the property, with 16 developed lots on which we will
construct homes in the $160K to $200K range. Lots 1 8z 16 would have a depth
of 1 19.23' each. Because our property is in the vicinity of Azalea Drive, the City
Engineering Department is requiring us to align Azalea Court with Azalea Drive.
This results in a hardship situation because Lot 16 will lose 38.71 ' of depth along
Wall Street.
VARIANCE #1:
Lots 1 and 16 are corner lots fronting on Wall Street and Azalea Court. An -
attractive masonry wall will run the length of the Wall Street frontage, leading to a
landscaped entry. These lots will face Azalea Court. The width of Lot 1 will vary
from 101 .59' to 72.80', with an average width of 87.19'. The width of Lot 16
will vary from 80.73' to 97.78', with an average width of 89.25'. We request a
variance to Section 15.G.4 requiring 95' width for reverse frontage lots.
VARIANCE #2:
Since Lots 1 and 16 will face Azalea Court, we would contend that the area
between the houses on these lots and Wall Street should be considered a side yard,
not a front yard. We request a variance to Section 15.G.1 ., allowing a 15' side
setback on the Wall Street side of Lots 1 and 16 only.
VARIANCE #3:
For the reasons stated above, we are also requesting a variance to Section 15.G.2.
allowing a 20' rear building setback on Lot 16 only, in lieu of the required 25' rear
setback. The resulting building envelope of 38' deep x 62' wide will be adequate
to construct a house of similar square footage to the others planned for the
subdivision.
VARIANCE #4:
Again, because of the reasons stated above, the depth of Lot 16 will vary from
80.52' to 97.56', with an average depth of 89.04'. We would like to request a
variance from Section 15.G.5. requiring an average depth of 100', for Lot 16
only.
D
� c IE0Wc
MAY - 1 1996
VARIANCE #5:
Section 15.H. required a 40' buffer area between single family and a non-residential
district. Lots 5 - 9 are affected by this provision. Lot 5 backs up primarily to a
church parking lot, and is a considerable distance from the church. Lots 6 and 7
back up to the rear face of Northwest Plaza Shopping Center. Lots 8 and 9 back up
to a commercially zoned tract, that when developed will be required to have
buildings set back a minimum of 40'. We will be constructing an 8' wood fence
between these five lots and the adjacent properties. The combination of the cul-de-
sac, with its unusual shaped lots, and a 40' buffer yard, creates almost unbuildable
lots. Lot 5 backs up to the church parking area, which is generally used only on
Sundays, and an 8' fence combined with a 25' buffer yard should be more than
adequate. We therefore request a variance to this section to allow a 25' rear buffer
yard for Lot 5 - 9 only.

MEMO TO: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT
p
FROM: SCOTT WILLIAMS, BUILDING OF I L
MARCY RATCLIFF, PLANNER
SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA96-23
STANDARD BUILDING SYSTEMS
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1996
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment approve the request to Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73 with the condition the applicant provides
solid screening around entire perimeter of the storage area for Lot 1 , Block 6, W.R.
Boyd Center and addressed as 204 North Dooley Street as follows:
1 . Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of
Zoning Adjustment the ability to approve the remodeling or enlargement of a
nonconforming use when such an enlargement would not tend to prolong the
life of the nonconforming use.
If the Board of Zoning Adjustment approves the special exception request, it
would allow a 4,800 square foot metal building expansion of an existing non-
conforming use in a Community Commercial District as shown on the site plan.
SPECIAL CONDITION:
Staff finds a special condition that this is an existing industrial use and development.
The applicant is using an existing slab that is in place. This will give the Board an
opportunity to require screening that is not currently there.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
An application was submitted to the Department of Development Services by Mr.
John Daloise representing Standard Building Systems. The development occurred
before the 1984 City Rezoning.

BZA96-09 - CITY OF GRAPEVINE - HERITAGE PARK MEETING FACILITY

submitted by the City of Grapevine who requested the variance request for Track
10J1, A. Foster Survey, Abstract 518, specifically addressed as 411 Ball Street be
withdrawn. The City requested to withdraw the application as variances were not

BZA96-11 - GREG WRIGHT
Next for the Board of Adjustment to consider was BZA96-11 submitted by Greg
Wright requesting a variance for Lot 25, Shorecrest Acres Addition, specifically
addressed as 1859 Chris Craft Drive. The request was to the Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, as follows:
Section 15.G.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations which require a twenty-
five (25) foot rear yard setback.
The proposed variance would allow an eight (8) foot encroachment into the required
twenty-five (25) foot rear yard setback. If approved, it would allow a seventeen (17)
foot rear yard setback as shown on the plot plan.
Marcy Ratcliff, City Planner, explained Staff found a special condition for the request
being the platted lot depth is too shallow to met the current zoning ordinance
requirements. Ms. Ratcliff further noted many variances have been granted in this
area for lot depth.
Greg Wright (2805 Johnson Road, Southlake, Texas) introduced Rick Smith, future
tenant of the proposed house. The lot is simply to small to build a house of any
caliber by today's standard.
Rick Smith (1723 Anglers Plaza, Grapevine, Texas) noted to the Board that a number
of variances have been granted in this area. The purpose of the request is to
maintain the required thirty (30) foot front yard setback and move the house back
since the lot to the rear is vacant.
One letter of protest was received regarding the case.
Ery Meyer moved to close the public hearing. Carl Hecht seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Coy, Meyer, Howell, Hecht, Davis, and Luers
Nays: None
After a brief discussion, Carl Hecht moved that a special condition did exist and that
being the lot depth is too shallow to met the current zoning ordinance requirements.
Ery Meyer seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:

Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, as follows:
Section 14.G.1., "R-12.5" Single Family District Regulations require a thirty-five (35)
foot front yard setback.
The proposed variance would allow a seven (7) foot encroachment into the required
thirty-five (35) foot front yard setback. If approved, it would allow a twenty-eight
(28) foot front yard setback as shown on the plot plan.
Section 14.G.3., "R-12.5" Single Family District Regulations require an eight (8) foot
side yard back.
The proposed variance would allow a two (2) foot encroachment into the required
eight (8) foot side yard setback. If approved, it would allow a six (6) foot side yard
setback as shown on the plot plan.
Mr. Williams explained Staff found a special condition for the request in that the
encroachment is not the fault of the owner. The house was built prior to front
building line inspection requirements.
No written correspondence of was received.

public hearing. Jill Davis seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:

BZA96-15- PAUL DENNEHY
Next for the Board of Adjustment to consider was BZA96-15 submitted by Paul
Dennehy representing Dennehy Architects requesting a variance for Lots 1 and 2,
Block 2, Delaney Vineyards Addition, addressed as 1900 Champagne Boulevard. The
request was to the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, as follows:
Section 23A., °GV" Grapevine Vintage District prohibits parking lots as a principal use.
Off-street parking is allowed as an accessory use to a principal use.
The variance request is to allow development of an accessory off-street parking lot
without development of a principal use as shown on the plan.
Ms. Ratcliff explained Staff found a special condition for the request being the
applicant is proposing to develop an off-street parking lot to serve the overflow needs
of the wine production building across the street. Currently the overflow traffic is
parking in the grass where the parking lot is proposed to be located. The variance
if approved will go away with development of a principal use on the property. Future
development or expansion will be required to provide the necessary off-street parking.

exhibits for the request. Within the last month the property has been rezoned from
Multi-family to Grapevine Vintage District. Delaney's desire is to develop the area
around the recently completed building into a Vintage District. The trees in the
southwest corner will be saved to provide landscaping for that lot. The photographs
submitted explain how the parking is handled at many of the vineyards in different
areas. The 189 spaces requested are due to retail, restaurant area, and the recent
opening of Delaney Vineyards. The Grapevine Vintage District Requirements require
a fifteen (15) foot side yard, which has been maintained with the credit received for
the existing trees and the additional landscaping that will by far exceed the City's
landscape requirements. No building in the future development would be closer than
ninety (90) feet to the eastern property line. When we eventually developed the retail
and restuarant area we are requesting on our concept plan 78 parking spaces over
the City's minimum requirement for use development.
Chris Coy mentioned that when buildings area actually built on this lot, the variance
will go away.
Bryan Blackwell (5110 Caverdale Drive, Grapevine, Texas) noted he had protested the
first change from Multifamily to Grapevine Vintage. Retail and restuarants do not
belong in a residential district. Heat, noise, pollution, and reduction in residential
property values will be a result from this development.
Chris Coy added this area has already been rezoned. They can go ahead and build
the entire complex tomorrow with the restaurants and parking. The City Council has
already approved the development.
Ms. Ratcliff noted the zoning is already in place. According to the concept plan
approved by Council, which the submitted drawing is a replica of. In order to develop
this they would have to go for the conditional use because the proposed development
contains 100,000 square feet.
Bill Rodgers (407 East 2nd Street, Irving, Texas) explained he is concerned the effect
the development will have on the residential lots. He is in protest of the variance.
Ms. Davis noted that the Board of Zoning Adjustment does not have the authority to
change zoning.
Cynthia Strain (5114 Heatherdale, Grapevine, Texas) noted that retail will add to
trash, noise, pollution, decrease in property value to the neighborhood.
Eight letters of protest were received.
Sherri Blackwell (5110 Heatherdale, Grapevine, Texas) stated there needs to be more
awareness in the neighborhood. She is in protest of the request.

Ms. Ratcliff noted dumpsters are required to be fifty (50) feet away from residential
districts.
Virginia Flores (5206 Heatherdale Drive, Grapevine, Texas) requested to see the
location of the parking lot in relation to her lot.
Greg Cooper (5112 Heatherdale Drive, Grapevine, Texas) stated he did not want the
restaurants and retail in this area as well. The vineyard is very enjoyful. There are
other areas the parking lot can go.
Marcy Ratcliff noted in order for Delaney to develop they would have to go before
City Council due to the size and square footage of the building. If they size down
they would only have to go back and change their concept plan which would also be
another public hearing.
Randy Howell added that regardless, they will have another public hearing whether
it is scaled down or remains the same.
Dondee Blanton (5100 Heatherdale Drive, Grapevine, Texas) stated she supports the
proposal. It is not a low scale project and will do good for the community.
Bryan Blackwell added there is understanding the zoning has already changed. The
plans can be built as is. All that is being asked today is that this variance not be
approved.
Paul Dennehy explained their entent is to enhance the entire area.
Carl Hecht questioned Mr. Dennehy requarding how many special events does he plan
on having per year.
Mr. Dennehy replied special events occur frequently on weekends such as Weddings,
Christmas parties, Blessing of the Vines, etc.

BZA96-16 - JOHN MCGEE
Next for the Board of Adjustment to consider was BZA96-16 submitted by Mr. John
McGee who submitted a variance request for Lot 10R, Block 2, Woodland Estates and
as 3809 Kelsey Court. The request was to the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance 82-73, as follows:
Section 42.C.3., Supplementary District Regulations require a detached accessory
building in the R-20 zoning district be located a least fifteen (15) feet from the side
property line.
The variance request is to allow a covered, unenclosed carport attachment to an
accessory building to encroach nine (9) feet into the required fifteen (15) foot side
yard setback. If approved, it would allow a six (6) foot side yard setback as shown
on the plot plan.
Mr. Williams explained Staff found a special condition for the request. The major
portion of this accessory structure does not violate the Zoning Ordinance. The
building has an unenclosed covered attachment that projects into the required side
yard setback. This structure would comply with the zoning ordinance as a patio
cover used exclusively for recreational purposes. The applicant has indicated that this
structure will be used to shelter a travel trailer for a very short time each year when
7
BZA Minutes
4/01/96
relatives visit. A complying unenclosed covered attachment could be placed
alongside the main building towards the center of the yard with no encroachments,
however, it would require the removal of trees. Lastly, Staff feels the variance
request should be approved, as the applicant built the structure in accordance with
plans approved by the Building Inspection Department. Staff became aware of the
encroachment problem well after the structure was underway and almost complete.
Staff became aware of the encroachment as a result from a complaint from an
adjacent property owner. Mr. John McGee, applicant, is present to represent the
case.
John McGee (3809 Kelsey Court, Grapevine, Texas) stated he prepared a brochure
on the structure and distributed to the Board. Page one is the plat submitted to the
City with the carport highlighted. This was designated as a carport from the
beginning. The carport was placed adjacent to the workshop with storage above it.
This building is legal as it sets as we speak. Page two shows the orginial plans
submitted to the City. Again, the word carport is highlighted on the plans from the
beginning. Photographs of the structure were included in the packet showing the
overhang and during rain. These plans were approved by the City Staff. He went to
the bank and borrowed the money. To date there is about $30,000 put into it. This
pad is two feet deep in some places. The pad is poured to City approval in 1993.
If the he has to move the pad it going to produce hardships for them financially, trees
are going to be affected, underground telephone cables will have to be moved. The
structure, barn, has already been green tagged. It was never his intend to be out of
compliance with any zoning ordinance. At the back of your book, is a petition signed
by the neighbors on Kelsey Court asking the Board to grant the variance to finish the
carport as he applied for the permit. The second petition there in good faith if you
don't feel that you can request that they permit me to continue would you have any
objestions. Note that all the neighbors have signed both petitions.
Kathy McGee (3809 Kelsey Court, Grapevine, Texas) noted that a video was made
of the property and the trees for the City's record. Over the weekend a letter was
received by a neighbor about our continuing and would also like to submitt to the file.
Tom Ryan (3815 Kelsey Court, Grapevine, Texas) explained he is located on the
south side of Mr. McGee. Mr. Ryan submitted three photographs to the Board
illustrating closeness to property. He requested the variance not be granted.
Jill Davis questioned Mr. Ryan how much lower his property sits than the adjacent
property.
Mr. Ryan answered Mr. McGee's lot is 150 feet wide as is mine. I am probably two
or two and a half foot lower at that property line on that side.

BZA96-20 - PHIL MORLEI(
Next for the Board of Adjustment to consider was BZA96-20 submitted by Phil Morley
who requested variances for the Lots 1-16, Block 1, Azalea Court Addition. The
requests were to the grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, as follows:
Section 15.G.1 ., "R-7.5 Single Family District Regulations require reverse frontage
lots to have two thirty (30) foot front yard setbacks. Reverse frontage lots are lots

Section 15.H., "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations require a forty (40) foot
buffer yard adjacent to a non-residential district.
The variance request is to allow Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 a fifteen (15) foot reduction
of the forty (40) foot buffer yard. If approved, it would allow Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9
a twenty-five (25) buffer yard adjacent to a non-residential district.
Ms. Ratclif explained Staff found a special condition for variance requests #2 and #4
for the rear yard setback and lot depth of Lot 16. City Staff worked diligently with
the applicant to align Azalea Court with Azalea Drive. The alignment requirement
creates the physical hardships for this lot. Ms. Ratcliff further explained Staff did not
find any special conditions for variance requests #1, #3, and #5. The applicant
would be able to meet the requirements if he were not developing so may lots. The
buffer yard requirement is in place to separate residential uses from commercial uses.
Lots 5, 6 and 7 especially need a buffer yard because of the Northwest Plaza
Development. Lots 8 and 9 will be impacted with future development. The applicant
has submitted a final plat application for Azalea Court Addition for the June 18, 1996
City Council Meeting.
Philip Morley (210 South Park Boulevard Suite 100, Grapevine, Texas) explained his
case to the Board. Mr. Morley noted that he had been working with the Engineering
Department to align Azalea Court with Azalea Drive.
Grant Pittard (1364 West Wall Street, Grapevine, Texas) spoke in opposition of the
case. Mr. Pittard stated the development is inappropriate and does not conform to
the surroundings.
Tim Lancaster (2010 Forest Hills Road, Grapevine, Texas) stated to the Board that he
supports Staff's recommendation.

were granted.
Mr. Morley replied a minimum of three (3) lots would be lost if variances were not
granted
Three letters of objection were received.
With no other guests to speak to the request, Carl Hecht moved to close the public

Next for the Board of Adjustment to consider was BZA96-23 submitted by John
Daloise representing Standard Building Systems requesting a special exception for Lot
1, Block 6, W.R. Boyd Center, addressed as 204 North Dooley Street. The request
was to the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, as follows:
Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning
Adjustment the ability to approve the remodeling or enlargement of a nonconforming
use when such an enlargement would not tend to prolong the life of the
nonconforming use.
If the Board of Zoning Adjustment approves the special exception request, it would
allow a 4,800 square foot metal building expansion of an existing non-conforming use
in a Community Commercial District as shown on the site plan.
Marcy Ratcliff explained Staff found a special condition for the request in that this is
an existing industrial use and development. The applicant is using an existing slab
that is in place. This will give the Board an opportunity to require screening that is
not currently there. The development occurred before the 1984 City Rezoning.
