ITEM 4: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA21-06. RICHARD HELPPIE-
SCHMIEDER, 521 ESTILL STREET
The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA21-06 submitted
by Richard Helppie-Schmieder for property located at 521 Estill Street, platted as Lot 6,
Block 100, College Heights Addition.
Section 15.F.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Requirements, requires a
minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet. The applicant requested a variance of 875
square feet allowing a lot area of 6,625 sq. ft. for an existing lot.
Board of Zoning Adjustment

Section 15.G.1., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a
minimum front yard setback of thirty -feet (30'). The applicant requested a variance
of ten -feet (10') allowing a front yard setback of twenty -feet (20) for an existing lot.
Section 15.G.3., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a
minimum side yard setback of six -feet (6'). The applicant requested a variance of
five -feet (5') and two -feet (2') allowing a side yard setback of one -foot (1') adjacent to
the west property line and a side yard setback of four feet (4') adjacent to the east
property line for an existing lot.
Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a
minimum lot width of sixty-five feet (65'). The applicant requested a variance of
fifteen -feet (15') allowing a lot width of fifty -feet (50') for an existing lot.
Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found special conditions existed for the requested
variances. Specifically, the subject lot was originally platted in 1921 predating the City's
first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Developed, platted property and right-of-way
existed adjacent to the subject site, on the east, west and north and south property lines
respectively, eliminating the possibility to expand the site to meet the area and width
requirements. The existing dwelling was built in 1959 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 property owner intended to expand the existing dwelling from
approximately 680 square feet, to approximately 1,284 square feet by adding a 280-
square foot addition to the north elevation of the dwelling for a covered patio in the rear
yard adjacent to the north property line. Mr. Triplett further explained that on May 24,
2021, the Historic Preservation Commission approved Certificate of Appropriateness
(CA21-33) to allow for improvements on the subject site for the covered patio.
With no questions for Mr. Triplett, Jaime Reyes of 409 E. Worth Street, Grapevine,
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. Reyes and no additional speakers, John Sheppard made a
motion to close the public hearing. Ben Johnson seconded the motion which prevailed
by the following vote:
Ayes: Dierolf, Sheppard, Johnson, Dalton, Anderson
Nays: None
Absent: Gaspard
John Shepperd made a motion that special conditions existed for the requested
