................
The item of new business for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was
BZA 88-01, submitted by Neil Hart, of Hart Pool and Spa, Inc. Mr. Hart is
requesting a variance from Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section
15.G.2, Single Family, twenty-five (251) foot rear yard setback
requirements for an encroachment of twelve and one-half (12 1/2') feet for
610 Ellington Court, legally described as Lot 16, Block 10, Glade Crossing
I-B. Joy Carroll stated that Staff's recommendation for the request was
denial.
Neil Hart of 6703 Colleyville Blvd., Colleyville, Texas, stated that he
normally does not construct anything other than pools, but Mr. Lucas, the
owner, wanted him to construct a covered patio. Mr. Hart stated that
construction was stopped from the City Inspector for not having a permit.
When the owner did apply for the permit, it was discovered there was a
problem with the covered patio being in the easement.
Larry Lucas, owner of 610 Ellington Court, Grapevine, Texas, spoke and
stated that he had the approval from his neighbors for the construction.
After further discussion, Charles Giffin made a motion to close the Public
Hearing. Robert Hinson seconded the motion which prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Bigbie, Hinson, Giffin, Thompson, Swann,
Nays: None.
Absent: Hobbs
Robert Hinson made a motion that a special condition does not exist. The
motion died for lack of a second.

Tommy Hardy explained to the applicant that it would be a year before he
could come before the Board again concerning this case; however, in the
event a zoning ordinance amendment is approved allowing covered patios or
porches to extend into the required rear yard, Staff would contact Mr. Hart
or Mr. Lucas so that they could pursue the building permit application. In
that event, a variance would not be necessary.
