The first item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to
consider BZA 86-62, submitted by Charles D. Reynolds, who is asking for
exceptions from Grapevine Zoning Ordinance for an existing building at 1280
South Main Street. The building was built under "C-1", Commercial
requirements. Then after the April, 1984 City rezoning, this property was
zoned "PO ", Professional Office, which made 1280 South Main Street a
non-conforming use. Mr. Reynolds is asking for the following exceptions in
order to bring the property to a conforming use:1). Exception to 27.G.3
(which requires a 25 foot landscaped front yard (parking presently exists
in that area) ; 2). A ten foot (10') exception to the 25 foot rear yard
requirement (27.G.4.); 3). Exception to buffer and screening which "Po"
abuts residential (27.H), as the rear abuts "R-7.5" residential; 4).
Exception to 27.J Landscape requirements; 5). Exception to 27.K which
requirements for planter island landscaping every 12 parking spaces and at
end of rows; 6). Exception to 27.M.4, which requires a 10 foot buffer
strip where abutting residentially zoned property; 7). Exception to
27.F.5, which allows only 80% impervious area (more than 80% of the
attached plan is in buildings and paving.

Charles D. Reynolds of 7452 Malabar Lane, Dallas, Texas, and owner of the
property took the oath • Truth and explained that the building has no
value from the lender because it does not conform to the new "Po" zoning
regulations, and therefore, he needs the variances granted to be able to
conform. Mr. Reynolds explained that if 60% of the building is ever
destroyed by wind damage, fire, etc., he needs the variances requested to
be able to build it back the way it originally was built.

The next item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to
consider BZA 86-68, submitted by Tim Lancaster who is requesting exceptions
to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 53.H.2.b, which requires a ten
(10') foot landscaped area between abutting parking lots, and to 53.H.c,
which requires planter islands at the end of rows of parking for property
on Northwest Highway, where the former Le Villa Vecchia Restaurant was,
legally described as Lot 5, Block 1, of the W.C. Lucas Addition. Since the
lot is sixty (60') feet wide, it does not allow enough room to meet other
requirements, therefore, Staff recommends approval.
Tim Lancaster stated that the ten (10') foot side yard, a twenty-five (25)
foot fire lane, and a thirty (30') foot wide building is greater than the
width of the lot, therefore, makes a hardship in order to build.
Jim VanTreese stated the variance is to eliminate four planter islands,
which would be required at the north end of the property and north end of
building and at the south end of the property and building which would take
up four required parking spaces.
Joy Carroll received three letters of approval from property owners within
two-hundred (2001) feet of the property in question. She also read aloud
letters of approval from Cecil Griggs, owner of Import Car Center, and H.
A. Bowling.

Lancaster who is asking for an
exemption
from masonry requirement from
Section 54 of the Grapevine Zoning
Ordinance
for
an addition to an existing
building located at 525 Industrial
Blvd.,(Lot 3,
Grapevine Industrial Park).
Staff recommends approval.

building, away from the street and would like it to be metal to match the
first building.

Bearing Company who owns property right to the north of the applicants,
took the oath of Truth and stated that Gulf Bearing wanted to request

support a higher property value.

The last item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to
consider BZA 86-72, submitted by General Homes who had a model home
variance request approved on August 7, 1986 for 1826 Altacrest, which
should have been a variance for a temporary parking lot which is not a
permitted use for single family zoning.
Tom Watson, of 2915 Hilltop Drive, Euless, Texas, took the Oath of Truth
and explained that he had thought the proper application had been made when
they applied for a temporary parking lot for their model home park. So
they are reapplying for a parking lot to hold the normal traffic for their
sales office and model home park. Mr. Watson assured the Board that the
parking lot will be removed when the development is completed and converted
back to single family residences.
With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Garry Tischler
