BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA86-78, SUBMITTED BY BEAR RUN JOINT
VENTURE
The next item for the Board's consideration was BZA86-78, submitted by
Bear Run Joint Venture for Block A of Bear Run, Phase I which is a
commercial portion of a site plan zoning and plat approved by the City
Council in 1984.
Mr. Hardy introduced the subject case, noting that the 3.859 acre tract
would require a variance which would be an exception to Grapevine
Zoning ordinance 82-73, Section 2.D.3, which requires five acre minimum
sized tracts for creating a "CC", Community Commercial Zoning District;
and in order for the applicant, Troy Fuller of Bear Run Joint Venture
to request a zoning change on the tract, the Board of Zoning Adjustment
must first approve the reduction in the required tract size. Then Mr.
Hardy introduced Mr. Troy Fuller who was issued the Oath of Truth by
Chairman Waldrip. Mr. Fuller gave his address as 3607 Softwind Court,
Grapevine, Texas. Mr. Fuller further explained his request noting that
the City of Grapevine was requiring a rezoning of the total site plan,

as approved by the City of Grapevine in 1984, in order to amend the
southern portion of the tract where "R-7.5", Single-family is being
requested. Further, Mr. Fuller noted that the City Council had
approved the 3.859 acre commercial tract before the five acre
requirement was adopted, therefore, the intent of the Council will be
maintained as well as a rezoning of the total site plan zoning area
will update the tract by aligning it to present zoning classifications.
Following Mr. Fuller's presentation, Chairman Waldrip asked if anyone
in the audience wished to spreak for or against the case. No one
offered any comments and Joy Carroll noted that no correspondence was
received.
Then John Ferguson made a motion to close the public hearing and
Charles Giffin seconded the motion which prevailed by the following
vote:
Ayes: waldrip,
Nays: None
Absent: Thompson,
Tischler, Giffin and Ferguson
There being no further comments or discussion, John Ferguson made a
motion to approve the variance as requested contingent upon the
rezoning approval, and Charles Giffen offered a second to the motion.
The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Waldrip, Tischler, Giffin and Ferguson
Nays: None
Absent: Thompson, Bigbie and Troy
-9_*"* OF ZONING ADJUSTtENT CASE BzA 86-79, SUBKTrED BY JOHN T_
EVANS, II
Next for consideration by the Board was Board of Zoning Adjustment Case
BZA 86-79, submitted by Mr. John T. Evans, II, relative to a 6.484 acre
tract of land located north of the the U.S. Post of fice, east of Wal
Mart, fronting William D. Tate Avenue and south • the Tate and Ira
Woods intersection, presently zoned "CN", Neighborhood Commercial. Ths-
applicant will be requesting "CC", commmity Commercial zoning if the
Board • Zoning Adjustment approves variances as requested.
Mr. Hardy explained the request while referencing the concept plan
which illustrated the subject variances. The following variances are
needed for the three tracts:
Following Mr. Hardy's comments, Chairman Waldrip issued the Oath of
Truth to Mr. John T. Evans, II, who noted that the shape of the tract
imposes development problems. Mr. Evans proceeded to explain what he
believed to be justifiable reasons for variances to be approved, noting
that the shape of the tract limits the flexibility and placement of
structures, creates a hardship in determining parking and flow patterns
as well as landscaping requirement, landscaping code is inflexible for
odd-shaped tracts, large lot area requirements restrict the type of
users for the lots, the inter-development landscape buffer zones
inhibits aesthetics and ability to unify the planned center appearance,
and the location of planned center turn lane on Tate will create a
hardship on traffic flow and access to the center.
Then, Mr. Richard Atkins accepted the Oath of Truth from Chairman
Waldrip noting that his address is 2954 Trail Lake in Grapevine. Mr.
Atkins expressed his approval of eliminating the side-yard landscape
requirement for the tract; however, otherwise the developer has
incurred the remaining hardships by attempting to overdevelop the tract.
Joy Carroll read into the record a letter objecting to commercial
development of the subject tract, specifying difficulty with drainage
problems. The letter was from Mr. John T. Rogers of 1210 Valley Vista
and when Chairman Waldrip asked if others wished to speak in the
audience, Sharron Spencer of 3214 Wintergreen Court accepted the Oath
of Truth and advised that she opposed the variances as requested as
well as noting a need to eliminate curb cuts on Ball Street to protect

the privacy of the residential neighborhood. Following Mrs. Spencer's
statements, Mayor-Pro Tem Ted Ware accepted the Oath of Truth and noted
a concurrence with Councilwcman Spencer's concerns.
Then, Mr. Evans spoke disagreeing with those against his request, and
further discussion was relative to possible screening on the Ball
Street perimeter of the project.
There being no further response to Mr. Evans' statements, Garry
Tischler made and Charles Giffin seconded a motion to close the public
hearing, and it prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Waldrip, Tischler, Giffin and Ferguson
Nays: None
Absent: Thompson, Troy and Bigbie
Following discussion relative to merits and problems with the plan for
the development of the three tracts, John Ferguson made a motion to
approve variances as requested on Tracts 1 and 3 and to deny variances
on Tract 2. Charles Giffin seconded the motion. Further discussion
ensued, then, the vote was as follows:
Ayes: Tischler, Ferguson and Giffin
Nays: Waldrip
Absent: Thompson, Troy and Bigbie
There being no majority vote, John Ferguson made a motion to approve
variances to Tracts 1 and 3 with the exception that planter islands be
provided in Tract 3, thence the motion was to approve Tract 1 as
submitted, to deny Tract 2 and to approve Tract 3 with the exception
that planter islands be provided, with all variances be contingent on
the "CC", Comity Commercial zoning be approved by the City Council.
Charles Giffin seconded the motion which prevailed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Waldrip, Tischler, Ferguson and Giffin
Nays: None
Absent: Thompson, Troy and Bigbie
Mr. Hardy reported that an item for the January agenda would be to
amend the Board of Zoning Adjustment By-Laws relative to date, time and
location of meetings from first Thursdays of each month at 6 PM at 413
Main Street to the first Mondays of each month at 6 PM., at 307 West
Dallas Road, Room #205.
