N MM 11 3 2M UN) The first item of new business was for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider BZA 88-19, submitted by Doyle and Arlene Dickerson who is requesting variances for 627 Bellaire Drive. Joy Carroll stated that Staff recommnded approval for the variance to Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Section 16.6.5, which requires a 100 foot lot depth for the "R-5.0" Zoning District, because the existing lot is 95 feet deep, requiring a 5 foot variance; approval to Section 16.H which requires a 40 foot buffer strip; approval to Section 42.F.5, which requires 20 feet between the garage door and the property line, making the variance five feet, allowing a 15 foot setback; and denial to the variance to Section 16.F.6, which requires a 1200 square foot floor area, and allowing 1008 square feet instead, a 192 square foot variance. Joy Carroll also explained that the variances will be needed if the second reading of the rezoning request from the "R-TH", Town House to "R-5.0", Zero Lot Line is approved later that evening by the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission. The first reading of the rezoning request was approved by the Council August 16, 1988. Fred Joyce, of 1017 W. D. Tate Avenue, and builder, took the Oath of Truth, and explained that the Dickerson have owned the lot since 1971 and to build a house any larger, a large pecan tree would. have to be removed. Mr. Joyce stated that they are requesting "R-5.0" because the lot would not be big enough to build a two-unit townhouse. Because most of the houses in that area are frame, some of the members felt that a frame house would fit in better than all brick. Fred Joyce stated that they would rather build a frame house but did not apply for a variance to the masonry requirements. With no one else to speak either for or against the request Charles Giffin made a motion to close the Public Hearing. Don Bigbie seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hobbs, Swann, Bigbie, Giffin, Truitt Nays: None Absent: Thompson The Board suggested tabling the case so the applicant could apply again for a variance to the masonry requirements.
