BZA92-08 AND BZA92-09, DELLWOOD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC. The Board of Zoning Adjustment considered BZA92-08 and BZA92-09 ' submitted by Dellwood Development Company, Inc., who is requesting a variance from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning ordinance 82-73 for proposed Lots 7A-R and 7B-R, Block 51 Ridgecrest Addition, addressed as 1808 and 1810 Evergreen Court. The variance is to Section 20.G.1, Townhouse District Regulations which requires a 25 foot front yard building setback. The request is to allow the principal structure to encroach the front yard setback from 0 feet to 9 feet as shown on the plot plan. Greg Wheeler explained that Lot 7, Block 5, Ridgecrest Addition was platted prior to the 1984 City Rezoning, and because of this fact, the lot has received variances for the front yard setback and the rear yard setback to meet the current requirements. The applicant is unable to meet the current front yard setback requirements with the proposed replat, which will convert one duplex lot into two townhouse lots. Mr. Wheeler stressed that if the lot is developed just as a duplex, then everything would conform. By placing a property line down the center, in order to sell each unit as a townhouse, new front yard setback lines are required which the structure will not meet. Tim Lancaster, applicant, of 2010 Forest Hills, Grapevine, took the Oath of Truth. Mr. Lancaster stated he would answer any questions the Board may have. With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Gerald Thompson made a motion to close the public hearing. Randy Howell seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Thompson, Howell, Williams, Zimmerman Nays: None Absent: Bass Greg Wheeler explained that in October the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council amended the duplex zoning district requirements so duplex units can be converted into townhouse lots without rezoning the property. Marcy Ratcliff also explained the Planning and Zoning Commission amended the sideyard setback which was reduced from 15 feet to 6 feet, for only two-unit townhomes. Gerald Thompson then made a motion that a special condition did exist and the special condition being that the applicant replatted the duplex lot subject to the 1970 Ordinance and received variances to meet the 1984 Ordinance, and under the conditions of the new October 1991 ordinance amendments, it meets the intent of the setbacks for duplex, therefore; causing a hardship when changing over to townhouse. Ron Williams seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Thompson, Howell, Williams, Zimmerman Nays: None Absent: Bass Gerald Thompson made a motion to grant the variance to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 20.G.1, Townhouse District Regulations to allow the principal structure to encroach the front yard setback from 0 feet to 9 feet as shown on the plot plan.
