NEW BUSINESS BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA08-03, CRAIG COUP, 2826 PLACID CIRCLE The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA08-03 submitted by Craig Coup, for property located at 2826 Placid Circle, legally described as Lot 8, Block 2, Placid Peninsula Addition. The following request was from Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73: Section 15.G.1., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a minimum front yard setback of 30-feet. The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a front yard setback of 27-feet. Section 15.G.2., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a minimum rear yard setback of 25-feet. The applicant is requested a variance and if approved by the Board, would allow a rear yard setback of 16-feet. Section 15.G.5., "R-7.5" Single Family District, Area Regulations, requires a minimum lot depth of 100-feet. The applicant is requested a variance and if approved by the Board, would allow a lot depth of 94-feet and 68-feet along the west and east property lines respectively. Mr. Triplett explained that Staff found a special condition existed for the requested variances. Specifically, had the lot in question been created with the current required lot depth of 100-feet along the west and east property lines, the proposed addition would not encroach into the required rear yard and therefore would not need a variance request to build the addition. Additionally, the survey plat revealed the existing residence met the required rear yard setback, but as a result of the deficient lot depth the proposed addition would encroach into the required setback. The front yard encroachment as revealed on the survey plat was a result of the A -frame style house, with a dramatic, sloping roof which extended to the ground. Finally, the plat for this portion of the Placid -Peninsula subdivision was approved in March 1953 which pre- dated the City's first zoning ordinance adopted in 1955. Mr. Triplett stated that the subject property was zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District. The owner intended to build a 406 square foot room addition on the east side of the existing residence. The wooden deck and the shed which were shown on the survey plat had been removed from the site. With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, the applicant, Craig Coup, of 2826 Placid Circle, Grapevine, Texas, took the Oath of Truth; and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. With no further questions for Mr. Triplett, and no additional speakers, Debbie Holt made a motion to close the public hearing. Richard Adams seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Cook, Holt, Adams, VanTil Nays: None Absent: Luers Richard Adams made a motion that a special condition existed for the requested variances.
