GRAPEVINE COLLEYVILLE ISD, 2305 POOL ROAD The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA05-23 submitted by David Denning, for property located at 2305 Pool Road, and legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Grapevine High School Addition #2. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 54, Masonry Requirements, requires all structures in the "GU" Governmental Use Zoning District to be at least 70 percent masonry. The applicant requested a special exception and if approved by the Board would allow the construction of a storage building with 100 percent metal exterior walls. � Board of Zoning Adjustment 12/05/05 � Mr. Williams explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variance. Specifically, the proposed structure would be constructed deep within the interior of the property, surrounded by existing buildings and existing bleachers. He stated the applicant proposed installing and maintaining a Photinia Hedge adjacent to the proposed structure. He added that the location of the structure and the hedge satisfied the intent of the Ordinance, which in this case was primarily concerned with aesthetics. Furthermore these conditions would render the proposed storage building barely visible (if visible at all)from public rights of way. With no further questions for Mr. Williams, the applicant, David Denning, of 1158 Settlers Way, Lewisville, Texas took the Oath of Truth and explained that the proposed building was an idea that was discussed befinreen the Booster Club and Mr. Monahan, to solve storage problems at Cross Timbers Middle School. He stated that additional storage was necessary for the School District, as well as the City Summer Track Program. Debbie Holt asked if the School District's latest Bond Package approved the construction of additional storage buildings. David Denning explained that the School District has approved metal storage buildings to be constructed at every Grapevine Colleyville Independent School District Campus exactly like the one that was submitted to the city. � Dennis Luers asked Mr. Williams if the School District would be required to come before the Board every time they wanted to construct a storage building. Mr. Williams explained if the Board denied this request, staff would strongly recommend they not make application again. However, if the Board approved this request and staff felt as though the application could be approved, the School District would have to make an application for every property. Dennis Luers asked how many storage buildings the School District was proposing to construct. Scott Monahan representing Grapevine Colleyville Independent School District of 6409 Sunnybrook Drive, North Richland Hills, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and explained that the School District was proposing to install structures at each one of the 17 campuses in Grapevine, Colleyville and Euless School Districts. There were eight (8) campuses in Grapevine. Debbie Holt asked what kind of service life was expected from the structures. Mr. Monahan stated that the manufacturer gave a ten (10) year warranty; however, if maintained properly he felt they could expect 15-20 years. Ron Cook asked Mr. Monahan what the life span would be for a cinder block structure. He stated that he felt they could double that of the ten (10) year for the metal storage building. Currently the School District had some structures that were 20 years old, and �, felt that it was possible to get 25-30 years of use. 2 Board of Zoning Adjustment 12/05/05 �r,► Debbie Holt asked about the cost differences. Mr. Monahan stated that a cinder block structure with a foundation would cost $30,000.00 for approximately the same size structure. The metal storage building that was being proposed would cost approximately $5,000.00. Chairman Hecht announced that two (2) letters of protest had been received. Ron Cook asked Mr. Williams if he had any discussion befinreen the Parks and Recreation Department regarding the storage of there equipment with the School District. Mr. Williams stated that the Director of Parks and Recreation had not contacted him and felt that if the city was partially paying for or benefiting from the construction of this storage building, he would have been notified. Ron Cook asked Mr. Monahan who would be purchasing the structure. He stated that the structure had been purchased by the Booster Club before the approval of the Bond Issue. The structure would also be used by the Booster Club and the Parent Teachers Association. He also stated that the additional structures the School District would propose to construct would be paid for with bond money.
