WHETSTONE, 415 SOUTH DOOLEY STREET The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA21-03 submitted by Eric and Trish Whetstone for property located at 415 South Dooley Street, Lot N1/2, 1-2, Block 112, College Heights Addition. Board of Zoning Adjustment 04-05-2021 Section 15.F.2, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements requires a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet. The applicant requested a variance of 500-feet allowing a lot size of 7,000 square feet for an existing lot. Section 43.E.3, Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming use. The applicant is requested a special exception allowing the existing residential structure to remain as developed along with an expansion as shown on the plot plan. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variance and special exception. Specifically, the subject lot was originally platted in 1921 predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed, platted property, an alley and right-of-way existed adjacent to the subject site, on the south, north and west property lines respectively, eliminating the possibility to expand the site to meet the area requirements for an existing lot. The existing dwelling was built in 1942 prior to the rezoning of the subject site in the 1984 City Rezoning to "R-7.5" Single Family District. The proposed expansion did not exacerbate the existing nonconforming conditions. Mr. Triplett stated that the applicant proposed decreasing the existing dwelling by 143 square feet, reconstruct the existing front porch roof; and construct an attached two car port -a -cache adjacent to the south property line. The applicant further proposed the removal of a non -conforming detached accessory structure and construct a new conforming accessory structure. Mr. Triplett further explained that on February 24, 2021, the Historic Preservation Commission approved Certificate of Appropriateness (CA21-07) on the subject site for the proposed improvements. With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Eric Whetstone of 1050 Lake Carolyn Pkwy, Irving, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; he gave a brief presentation to the Board and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. With no questions for Mr. Whetstone and no additional speakers, John Sheppard made a motion to close the public hearing.
