requesting a zero foot (01) to fifteen foot (151) wide variance to
Grapevine Zoning Ordinance 82 -73, Section 15.H., which requires a
40 foot buffer to a non - residential district, without any division
such as a dedicated public street, park or permanent open space.

entire drainage easement width meets or exceeds the 40 foot buffer
yard requirement except for the last eight feet north of the south
