NEW BUSINESS BZA92-12, MARVIN DEARING The first item of new business for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA92-12, submitted by Marvin Dearing. Mr. Dearing is requesting a variance from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, in accordance with Section 68.H.3. for property to be platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Dearing Addition and addressed as 513 East Northwest Highway. Mr. Dearing submitted a Conditional Use Application 92-04 for the possession, storage and retail sale of off - premise alcoholic beverages (beer only) in conjunction with the operation of a convenience store with gasoline sales and automotive repair. Staff, during the review period, found the plat did not meet all the necessary requirements nor did the site plan meet all the landscaping requirements. The first reading of an ordinance approving the proposed conditional use was approved by City Council July 21, 1992. If the Board of Zoning Adjustment approves the 1 special exception, City Council will decide on the second and final reading of an ordinance on August 4, 1992. Greg Wheeler explained that the Board will be granting a special exception instead of granting a variance. He also noted that Mr. Dearing's property is landlocked and there is no place for him to obtain additional property to conform with the current ordinance. Mr. Marvin Dearing, applicant, took the Oath of Truth, and explained in order for the business to work, the special exception is needed. With no one else to speak either for or against the request, Patti Bass made a motion to close the public hearing. Randy Howell seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Meyer, Coy Nays: None Absent: Williams Member Ery Meyer asked Mr. Dearing if he intended to add on to the building. Mr. Dearing stated no, he would only be expanding within the building. Ery Meyer then made a motion that a special condition did exist and the special condition is that the building was built in 1980 and the lot does not meet the current lot size requirements because the property is landlocked. Patti Bass seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Meyer, Coy Nays: None Absent: Williams Ery Meyer made a motion to grant the special exception as requested to Grapevine Comprehensive zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 68.H.3 to allow the existing lot and development to remain as built. Patti Bass seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Giffin, Bass, Howell, Meyer, Coy Nays: None Absent: Williams BZA92-16, EMOGENE ALLRED The next item of new business for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA92-16, submitted by Ms. Emogene Allred. Ms. Allred is requesting a variance from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 15.G.4., "R-7.511, Single Family District Regulations which requires a 65 foot minimum lot width for property to be platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Allred Addition, addressed as 230 N Ball Street. The request is to allow a 5 foot variance to the minimum 65 foot lot width requirement. If approved, the property would be platted with a 60 foot minimum lot width as shown on the proposed final plat. Greg Wheeler explained upon review, Staff found the property did not meet the minimum lot width requirement. The City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission cannot approve the plat unless the plat meets all the minimum requirements. Mrs. Emogene Allred, applicant, took the Oath of Truth and explained that after the house was started, it was discovered the property was not platted. Greg Wheeler stated that he issued the permit contingent on Mrs. Allred making application for platting. Two letters of approval were received from Mary (Ward) Latta, P. O.
