JUSTIN POWERS, 904 WEST SUNSET STREET The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA07-16, submitted by Justin Powers for property located at 904 West Sunset Street, legally described as Tract 9R03K1, Heirs of A. Foster Survey, Abstract 518. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15.F.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Regulations, requires a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet. The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a lot size of 5,378 square feet for an existing lot. Section 15.G.1., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a (W minimum front yard setback of thirty -feet (30'). The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a front yard setback of 20-feet (20') for an existing lot. Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations requires a minimum lot width of 65-feet. The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a lot width of sixty -feet (60') for an existing lot. Section 15.G.5., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Regulations, requires a minimum lot depth of 100-feet. The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a lot depth of 89-feet for an existing lot. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found special conditions existed for all of the requested variances. Specifically, the subject lot was not platted; the existing dwelling was built in 1950 according to Tarrant Appraisal District records, which predated the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Platted developed property existed to the north, east, and west, eliminating the possibility of expanding the lot to meet the lot depth, width, and area requirements. Mr. Triplett stated that requiring a 30-foot front yard setback coupled with the required 25-foot rear yard setback would leave 34-feet of buildable depth for a structure, severely limiting the type of product that could be built on the property. Mr. Triplett further (W explained that the property owners would demolish the existing residence and build a 2- story, 2,021 square foot residence. With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, the applicants, Justin and Bethany Powers, of 908 West Sunset Street, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; and requested favorable consideration of their request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, and no additional speakers, Dennis Luers made a motion to close the public hearing. Debbie Holt seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Holt, Adams, VanTil Nays: None Absent: Cook Richard Adams made a motion that special conditions existed for the requested variances.

Platted developed property existed to the north, east, and west, eliminating the possibility of expanding the lot to meet the lot depth, width, and area requirements. Debbie Holt seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: 2 Board of Zoning Adjustment 9/10/2007 Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Holt, Adams, VanTil (W Nays: None Absent: Cook Richard Adams then made a motion to grant the following variance to Section 15.F.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Density Regulations, allowing a lot size of 5,378 square feet for an existing lot. Section 15.G.1., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, allowing a front yard setback of 20-feet (20') for an existing lot. Section 15.G.4., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations allowing a lot width of sixty -feet (60') for an existing lot.

Dennis Luers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Luers, Holt, Adams, VanTil Nays: None Absent: Cook BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA07-17, RICHARD PEMBERTON, 1115 AIRLINE DRIVE The next item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA07-17 submitted by Richard Pemberton, for property located at 1115 Airline Drive, legally described as Lot 3, Block 4, J.J. Daniel Addition. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15.H, "R-7.5" Single Family District, Buffer Area Regulations, requires a minimum buffer distance forty -feet (40') whenever an R-7.5 Single Family development is located adjacent to a non-residential district. The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a buffer distance of six - feet (6) and thirty-three feet (33') adjacent to the north and east property lines respectively. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variance. Specifically, the subject lot in its current configuration was platted in 1947 as part of the original plat of the J. J. Daniel Addition predating the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Strict adherence to the buffer requirement to the north and east would render the property unbuildable. Mr. Triplett stated that the property to the immediate north of the subject property was at one time zoned for residential purposes ("R-1" Single Family District) but was rezoned in 1980 to "SP" Specific Use Permit to accommodate the development of a parking lot. The subject site was previously used for residential purposes and contained a dwelling, which had since been demolished. All setback requirements relative to the "R-7.5" Single Family District i.e. front, rear, and both side yard setbacks, would be met. During the 1984 City rezoning the properties to the immediate north and east of the subject site were rezoned to "PO" Professional Office District. The owner intended to build a single story home of approximately 3,200 square feet on the subject property. Board of Zoning Adjustment 3 sno/2007 With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, the applicant, Richard Pemberton, of 1701 (bw Dunn Street, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board.
