Mr. Williams stated that following the November 11, 1996 meeting, the applicant was required to obtain certain zoning variances.

The next item was for the Building Board of Appeals to consider Dangerous Building BBA MINUTES 4/14/97 Mr. Williams stated the applicant was not in attendance. Also, he stated the applicant had been notified of the meeting date and time by copy of the agenda.

There is an existing eight (8) foot fence on top of a retaining wall. After delaying the public hearing to allow sufficient time for the applicants to arrive Charles Bloomberg moved to close the public hearing. Art Gordon seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Lipscomb, Roberts, Gordon, Bloomberg, Kidd Nays: None Absent: Smith Charles Bloomberg moved, with a second by Art Gordon, to table the request to May 12, 1997 because the applicant was not available to speak to the request. The motion prevailed as follows: Ayes: Lipscomb, Roberts, Gordon, Bloomberg, Kidd Nays: None Absent: Smith Staff recommends the Building Board of Appeals ,deny the request to City of Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Chapter 7, Article IV, Fences, Section 7-127, for Lot 25, Shorecrest Acres Addition and addressed as 1859 Chris Craft Drive, Grapevine, Texas as follows: Section 7-127, Front Yard Requirements - prohibits the erection of a fence exceeding thirty-six (36) inches in the required front yard. The request is to allow a fence to be constructed exceeding the maximum height by one (1) foot as shown on the plans. If approved, it would allow a four (4) foot fence to be constructed in the required front yard. Scott Williams, Building Official, stated that Staff does not feel this property has any unusual conditions to warrant an increase in fence height. Mr. Richard Smith, property owner was introduced to speak to the request. Mr. Smith had photographs and a copy of a police report as exhibits to show that his 3 BBA MINUTES 4/14/97 was to have a single national code by year 2000. The 1994 Uniform Codes are a step in that direction, for although there is not a great deal of technical change, the 1994 Uniform Codes are laid out in the same format, chapter by chapter, as the other two major codes. Mr. Williams further stated that he felt this was the appropriate time to change local amendments to the codes if necessary. He also thought that the board should consider modifying certain other building related ordinances such as the Fence and Dangerous Building Codes. He stated he would like to begin a study of the documents at the next meeting to allow everyone the opportunity to review and understand the revisions. He told the board he would have code books as well as an analysis of revisions and the City of Grapevine local amendments available at the next meeting for their review. Mr. Dick Ward, Fire Marshall, spoke to the board about the proposed building code changes. He stated there were concerns within the fire industry concerning fire sprinklers for all commercial buildings. He said he would also be coming before them to discuss revisions to the fire code. Mr. Williams requested the board meet at 5:30 p.m. for the next few meetings to allow additional time to consider the revisions. He told them they would begin with the building and mechanical code followed by the fire code and fence ordinance. Dennis Roberts moved to close the public hearing. Russell Kidd seconded the motion which prevailed as follows: Ayes: Lipscomb, Roberts, Gordon, Bloomberg,,Kidd Nays: None Absent: Smith The last item for the Building Board of Appeals to consider were the minutes of the February 10, 1997, meeting.
