ROLL CALL Chairman Hecht held roll call and announced that all were present, except Vice - Chairman, Dennis Luers and Secretary, Ron Cook. NEW BUSINESS BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE BZA08-06, BERT CALVERT, 2301 IRA E. WOODS AVENUE The first item for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to consider was BZA08-06 submitted by Bert Calvert, for property located at 2301 Ira E. Woods Avenue, legally described as Lot 8, Block 1, DFW Business Park. 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 this requirement and if approved by the Board would allow the existing structure and property to remain as developed as shown on the site plan. Section 60.H.5.a., "Sign Standards" Required Setback, requires a minimum r setback of 10-feet (10'). The applicant requested a variance and if approved by the Board would allow a setback of approximately six -feet (6') as shown on the site plan. Mr. Stombaugh explained that Staff found special conditions existed for the requested special exception and variance. Specifically, this was an existing platted and developed lot that was in complete compliance with all development criteria as stated within the zoning ordinance. The proposed widening of Ira E. Woods Avenue (S.H. 26) and the resulted taking of approximately 30-feet of frontage from the subject property has created a condition in which the existing sign could no longer meet the minimum setback requirement. In addition the right-of-way taking has created other nonconformities relative to building and landscaping setback requirements. Chairman Hecht announced that (1) letter of approval, had been received. With no further questions for Mr. Stombaugh, and no additional speakers, Debbie Holt made a motion to close the public hearing. John VanTil seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Holt, Adams, VanTil Nays: None Absent: Luers, Cook Debbie Holt made a motion that special conditions existed for the requested special exception and variance.

In addition the right-of-way taking has created other nonconformities relative to building and landscaping setback requirements. John VanTil seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Hecht, Holt, Adams, VanTil Nays: None Absent: Luers, Cook Debbie Holt then made a motion that a special exception existed with regard to Section 43.E.3., Nonconforming Uses and Structures, allowing the existing structure and property to remain as developed as shown on the site plan; and a motion with regard to Section 60.H.5.a., Sign Standards, that a variance of four -feet (4') for the relocation of a monument sign relative to the future widening of Ira E. Woods Avenue (S.H. 26) be granted allowing a setback of approximately six -feet (6') as shown on the plot plan.
