Mr. Fiordalisi is requesting variances from Grapevine Zoning ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.1., R-7.5, Single Family 30 foot front yard setback requirements to allow a 12 foot variance, and to Section 42.D, Supplementary District Regulations to allow a 5 foot variance to the 30 foot reverse frontage setback requirement. The existing house is located at 3402 Redbird Lane, Lot 16-R, Block 6, Placid Peninsula Subdivision. The subject residence was built before the 1984 City rezoning. At the time, a 30 foot front and reverse frontage setback was not BZA 11-4-91 1 required. The existing encroachments are no fault of the owner. Mr. Bruce Fiordalisi was present to answer any questions. With no one to speak for the case, Gerald Thompson made a motion to close the public hearing. Patti Bass seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Thompson, Howell, Williams Nays: None Absent: Dorety, Zimmerman Ron Williams then made a motion that a special condition did exist, and the special condition being that the house was built before the 1984 City rezoning and 30 foot front yard and reverse frontage setback requirements were not required. Patti Bass seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Thompson, Howell, Williams Nays: None Absent: Dorety, Zimmerman A motion was made by Ron Williams to approve the variances to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.1 to allow a 12 foot variance to the 30 foot front yard setback; and to Section 42.D, allowing a 5 foot variance to the 30 foot reverse frontage setback. Patti Bass seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Thompson, Howell, Williams Nays: None Absent: Dorety, Zimmerman BZA91-29, MR. JOE L. WRIGHT, WRIGHT CONSTRUCTION The next item of new business for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA91-28, submitted by Mr. Joe L. Wright, who is requesting a zero foot (01) to fifteen foot (151) wide variance to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.H., which requires a 40 foot buffer to a non-residential district, without any division such as a dedicated public street, park or permanent open space. The variance requested is for Lot 23, Block 1, Timberline East Subdivision which backs up to an existing drainage easement, and to existing CC, Community Commercial, Timberbrook Addition. The entire drainage easement width meets or exceeds the 40 foot buffer yard requirement except for the last eight feet north of the south property line. Martin Schelling, with Wright Construction, took the oath of Truth and explained that he feels the drainage easement meets the spirit BZA 11-4-91 2 of the 40 foot required buffer. With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Patti Bass made a motion to close the public hearing. Gerald Thompson seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Patti Bass made a motion that a special condition did exist being the irregularity of the lot and the existing drainage easement will more than compensate for the 40 foot buffer.
