SCHELLING — WRIGHT CONSTRUCTION, 811 INLAND DRIVE, 117 SYCAMORE COURT, 952 SPRING CREEK DRIVE AND 953 SPRING CREEK DRIVE The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA06-03 submitted by Martin W. Schelling — Wright Construction, for properties located at 811 Inland Drive, Lot 100, Block 1, Silver Lake Estates Phase III Addition, 117 Sycamore Court, Lot 5, Block 5, Silver Lake Estates Phase III Addition, 952 Spring Creek Drive, Lot 28, Block 5, A Board of Zoning Adjustment 05/01/06 Silver Lake Estates Phase III Addition and 953 Spring Creek Drive, Lot 119, Block 1, Silver Lake Estates Phase III Addition. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 60.F.5.e., Sign Standards, requires subdivision signs to be set back 15- feet from the front lot line. The applicant requested a variance of ten -feet (10') to 14-feet to this requirement, and if approved by the Board, would allow the construction of three (3) sub -division signs with a setback of one -foot (1) from the front lot lines, and one (1) sub -division sign with a setback of five -feet (5) as shown on the plot plan. Mr. Williams explained that Staff found a special condition for the requested Variance. Specifically, the signs provided benefits to the entire subdivision and not to the individual property owners whose lots the signs were placed upon. Additionally, the signs were scaled and placed to enhance the streetscape and provided a sense of "arrival" into the subdivision. Placed at the 15-foot setback requirement the signs would be completely ineffective and aesthetically undesirable. With no further questions for Mr. Williams, the applicant, Martin W. Schelling representing Wright Construction of 601 West Wall Street, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. (16W Dennis Luers asked Mr. Schelling if the street met up with the Elementary School parking lot, Mr. Schelling stated that it tied into School Road the southern street that ran east and west and back out to Dooley Street.

Scott Baker seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Cook, Holt, Baker Nays: None Absent: Bruner BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA06-04. HARVEY GAILAISE, 318 NORTH MAIN STREET The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA06-04 submitted by Harvey Galaise for property located at 318 North Main Street, and legally described as Abstract 946, Tracts A and B, A. F. Leonard Survey. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows The Board of Zoning Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming use. The applicant requested a special exception to enlarge a non -conforming use by constructing a 1,055-square foot addition to an existing 814-square foot nonconforming structure. (W Section 24.G.I. Neighborhood Commercial, Area Regulations requires a lot width of 125-feet. The applicant requested a variance of 50-feet to this requirement allowing a lot width of 75-feet. Section 53.H.2.b., Landscaping Regulations requires off street parking and vehicle use areas adjacent to a property line to be setback not less than 10-feet (10'). The applicant requested a variance of between five -feet (5) and ten -feet (10') along the southern property line allowing a landscaped setback between zero -feet (0') and five -feet (5') along the adjoining property line to the south. Mr. Williams explained that Staff found a special condition existed for all of the requested variances and special exception. Specifically, this was an existing structure, on a developed lot, surrounded by other developed property. The owner was platting the property to absorb the only other adjacent undeveloped tract, therefore reducing the nonconformance. Furthermore, the proposed addition would not increase the degree of nonconformity. He further added by allowing the proposed special exception and variances, the property owner was able to eliminate the nonconforming residential use, which was desirable considering the current "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District Zoning. With no further questions for Mr. Williams, the applicant, Kathleen Galaise of 124 Satinwood, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth and requested favorable 4W consideration of her request and offered to answer any questions of the Board.
